I used the online configurator to order springs for a custom basement bulkhead. The shocks are now installed and working exactly as I hoped! Quick delivery and very affordable.
The eyelets are attached to the gas spring with a very short thread. They are loose and will break the threads off the gas strut with little to no force applied. These need to have blue Loctite on the threads before touching them. For a $27 strut you would think they thought of this. Then customer service has a "not our problem" attitude. We don't cover that. Better off using their calculator then order from Amazon where you have a return policy.
The on-line tool to determine the right cylinders was SUPER! It was user friendly, self-explanatory yet ALL functions were explained in detail if needed. On-line ordering was fast and easy. From that point, things weren't as good, there was no communication that the cylinders had shipped so although they advertised usually ships in one day and might have - I didn't know it so 4 days later I was getting concerned - then they showed up. The install instructions were good but the "B" and "C" measurements were not the same on the drawing the shoes were the same. This caused no issues but raises doubts. Once installed, the units worked as expected and I did NOT have to adjust gas pressures! I would use them again.
Perfect
Shocks mailed out quickly,but are way too soft wouldn’t hold.WS14004Us is what your website said I needed after using the formula for my application.
Dear Leopoldo, Thank you for your purchase with us. I am sorry your springs didn’t work for your application. However, as we do work with our customers because we know that there are times when a customer’s calculations may be slightly off, you can reach out to us to let us know that you are having an issue and we will work with you to help you with your configuration. If the springs are too soft and will not hold your custom application, we can easily adjust the Newton to fit your application - this is a free service. We would just need for you to send the springs back to us with instructions on what Newton Force you want the springs adjusted to. Please Note: The 250N that is on your spring does not indicate LBS, it is the Newton Force. Newton Force is the calculation of “Torque (x) Length (x) Weight.” If the spring is too soft, then you will want to increase the Newton Force. Please get in touch with us so that we discuss your issue and help you to get it corrected. Thank you, Gasspringsshop.com

Easy to order having never done it before. Worked out perfect. Quality was above and beyond. Been burned many time with cheap Chinese knock offs. Not these, these are amazing
GOOD EXPERIENCE
Product worked great. One piece of advice I have for other customers, is to install the lower swing pivot, according to the installation diagram measurements, and then install the gas strut onto it and clip over the metal lock wing over the lower swing pivot send. Then slide the brass coupling through the top hole of the gas strut, and then using the bolt and nut provided, slide the bolt through the top pivot hole, and through the brass coupler that is inside of the gas strut hole. Push it through to the other side, then loosely screw on the nut. Then align where your top swing pivot bar should be installed and using a drill, or screw-driver, install the top screw into the hole. Remove the nut from the bolt, and pull the bolt out, and then install another screw into the lower hole of the top swing arm pivot. Then Reattach and tighten bolt and nut. Worked out awesome
The online work sheet is very helpful, pretty easy to fill out, Have not installed yet, waiting for glass panels for door to arrive, but comfortable the product will perform as specified.
It was a exact match.
Dear Jim, Thank you for ordering with us - I am pleased that you had a great experience and thank you for your review. If there is anything at all that we can do for you please don't hesitate to contact us. Gasspringsshop.com
On our first order we did our math wrong and ordered a spring that was too weak for our application, A representative helped us through the math to correct our mistake and got us the correct spring in no time.

No phone support. Was unable to order online. Return phone call in evening over 8 hours after emailing. Ordered last Tuesday and still do not have product 1 week later.
Dear Ben, I am terribly sorry that you had an unpleasant experience with ordering from our website and feel that there was no customer service assistance available. I do however see that there were 5 different communications from us to you via email where we helped you with getting a replacement spring. In one of your emails you mentioned that the website was not working because your email addresses did not match. I know technology can sometimes be frustrating and as with any other vendor, when making an online purchase an order cannot be completed unless you have verified your email address and each box must match. However, I am pleased that you were able to successfully complete your order online. As a security precaution, all orders must be completed online as we do not take credit cards over the telephone. Typically, orders ship out on the same day if received before 12PM EST. Unfortunately, we did not receive your order until after the cut off time of 12PM. Your order shipped out on 6/23 and arrived to you on 7/1. This is a normal shipping time for standard FedEx ground shipping, which is what was selected on your order. At the time of checkout there is an option to purchase FedEx Next Day Air or FedEx 2nd day Air if a customer requires a faster shipping option. Again, I apologize that you had an unpleasant experience with ordering from our website. If there is anything that we can do for you or if you would like to talk with me, please reach out and we’ll be happy to help you.
Ordering process was easy using their calculator. Arrived and they work great.
Todd, It's wonderful to hear that your ordering process was easy using the calculator! Thank you for your order and your review. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need anything. Gasspringsshop.com
My only beef was that there was no indication of when I would receive the items. Some competitors showed a month or more for delivery. I was pleasantly surprised the package came so quickly, but I would have liked to have gotten email updates.
Howell, Thank you for the review and feedback. We appreciate your order and I am sorry that you was a little concerned about the shipping. Typically our orders are shipped the same day and all of our orders are shipped via FedEx. Unfortunately, we do not have an automated shipping notification feature. However, we can provide you with a tracking number the next day after your order ships. Overall, we are happy that you are pleased. Gasspringsshop.com
The product is great. I recommend installation instructions for the struts.
Charmaine, Thank you for choosing us for your springs and for the review and feedback. It sounds like maybe you had a little bit of trouble with installation, I am sorry about that. I wish you would have reached out to us as we could have helped you with that. We do not send out installation instructions because all applications are different depending on how the springs are going to be used as well as end fittings and brackets. I do see that you used our calculator to order your springs. The calculator feature provides you with a simulation as where to place your brackets, end fittings and springs. I'm sorry you may have overlooked that. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time, we are happy to help. Gasspringsshop.com
Shipping & delivery was very quick.
Jeffrey, Thank you for choosing gasspringsshop.com and for the glowing review! I am glad that everything went great for you! Please reach out to us with any future needs or questions. gasspringsshop.com
QUICK RESPONSE AND DELIVERY
Dear Keith, Thank you for your purchase with us, I am happy that all went well for you and your experience with us. Please reach out to us if there is anything that we can do you for you! Gassspringsshop.com
Needed a set of struts to raise the roof of a tortoise enclosure in my backyard. I had no idea how to figure out what springs I needed. Gas springs shop helped me figure it all out online. And even provided an animation of how they would work. Once ordered they were delivered right away and the quality was superb. Following their animated design, I installed the gas springs and everything worked perfectly! I would highly recommend them.
Rick, Thank you for your order and taking the time to reach out to us for help with the calculator! I am happy that everything went well for you and that the springs are working perfectly for you. Please feel free to reach out to us any time. Gasspringasshop.com
Very simple website allows quick calculation of your situation and automatically select the gas springs and all required hardware then puts it in a shopping card for easy checkout. Super fast shipping, even with the slowest shipping option I got my order with 3 days of placing my order. Fast response when I had a question as well. 10/10 product quality and profesionalism
I was able to figure out the self-help ordering system when the factory rep lady couldn't; even with the elaborate and through dimensions, etc. that I provided from my old struts. Turns out that the struts I eventually designed were nearly identical to my old ones which were made by the same company with the same label!
The only thing I would change is encouraging or providing the option to add nuts/washers to purchased springs.
I had no idea how to fix the pneumatic doors on my cabinets, so I typed the model number into search, found Gasspringsshop, and a couple days later I was fixing my cabinets.
I placed my order on Sunday afternoon and the spring arrived on Wednesday! Great service and products.
The gas spring provided is a high quality product and fit perfectly.
