Thanks to a hidden trap door you can access another (secret) room underneath your floor. But opening and closing the trap door could be a tough and inconvenient job. A gas strut offers the perfect solution for this task. A gas strut for your hidden trap door makes it very easy to open and close the trap door without too much trouble. The best part of it all is that the hidden trap door is also able to stay open by itself.
Imagine having a wine cellar underneath the hidden trap door and you would have to open and close the trap door by hand with a handful of wine bottles. This is a very inconvenient job, which also requires a lot of power. That is why a hidden trap door often has gas struts to ease this task. Have you become curious on how to get the perfect gas struts yourself?

Our calculator tool: How to use it?
Thanks to our calculator tool, you do not have to determine by yourself which gas strut is most suitable for your hidden trap door. Just insert the dimensions of your trap door into the calculator tool, the rest happens automatically. When using our calculator tool, please make sure you understand the following measurement results:
A [inch]
The A measurement is the distance from the hinge to the point of attachment of the gas strut on the cover in the lengthwise direction of the cover in inches.
B [inch]
The B measurement is the distance from the hinge to the point of attachment of the gas strut on the cover in the height direction of the cover in inches. If you use a bracket (see webshop) then the distance from the bottom of the cover to the attachment point of the gas strut is 20mm.
C [inch]
The C measurement is the horizontal distance between the hinge and the attachment point of the gas strut to the fixed world. Distance to the middle point of rotation of the mounting part.
D [inch]
The D measurement is the vertical distance between the hinge and the attachment point of the gas strut to the fixed world. Distance to the middle point of the screw eye, ball, or spindle.
