VOLO Hydraulics Gas Spring Stay Strut Pneumatic Lift Support Cabinet Hinges, Pack of 2, 150N for 15Kg Weight Capacity

Good quality and works as aspected.

Worked well for almost two years, then one set failed. The other two are good for now.

Poor quality. Bought 2 sets, both damaged in a week. The lock on both sides get damaged as it’s made of plastic. I would advise to buy something with metal clips at the end for locking.

Good quality

The gas lifts work fine but the end joints are made of substandard and flimsy materials. I had to replace those from my old gas lifts.

These are very good...value for money

The pneumatic gas springs do their work. However the key is getting the force right. I used them for wardrobe shutters that lift up. If the force is too less, the shutter will not lift. If the force is too high, you will end up damaging the gas springs when closing the shutters. The plastic construction of the gas springs is designed for accurate planning and installation - not approximations followed by brute force to get the thing to work. I used a 150N gas spring for plywood shutters that were 900-1050mm wide x 450mm tall x 30mm thick. I also read in one of the comments that the flap side hinge was getting bent and that the strut was popping out of the sockets. I have faced both these problems before I realised my mistake and resolved them. Flap side hinge getting bent : this is a typical symptom when the gas spring is over rated for the shutter. The reviewer seems to have used 250N whereas a lower force rating may be more suitable. Popping out of sockets : The sockets have a cover that locks the strut. it should be used. Moreover the alignment of both the hinges needs to be in a straight line. This would minimise any chances of popping out.

Product quality is not upto the mark. Carpenter had to work hard to fix the spring. Spring got disjointed after few days and had to call carpenter for fixing it.
