Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need 13mm vs 10mm? Use 13mm when your gas strut is over 400N or your original bracket was 13mm. Standard domestic use (100-400N) works fine with 10mm.

Is this compatible with 10mm sockets? No — always match ball to socket exactly.

Are fixings included? No — use M6 bolts appropriate to your substrate.

Load capacity? Rated for gas struts up to ~1500N when properly installed.
