If you can't find an exact match for your brand or model in our extensive gas spring range, you don't have to settle for a compromise. A custom gas spring gives you the freedom to choose the length, extension force, and mounting type yourself, so the part fits exactly the application you need it for: from kitchen cabinets and hatch doors to tilt beds and machine housings.
Why choose a custom gas spring?
Standard gas springs are designed for common dimensions and forces, but in practice you'll regularly run into situations where an original part is no longer available or simply doesn't fit exactly. Think of older furniture series, specific machine housings, or bespoke applications. In that case, a custom-made gas spring is the answer: you decide the stroke length, the force in Newtons, and the connection type yourself, so the end result works perfectly without play or excessive resistance.
How do you configure the right gas spring?
When configuring a custom gas spring, there are a few key factors to keep in mind. First measure the fully compressed and fully extended length of your current gas spring, or determine the desired stroke length if you're designing a new mechanism. Next, determine the required force: too light and the hatch will sag, too heavy and you'll have to push hard to close it. The mounting type (ball stud, eyelet, or bracket) also matters for a proper installation.
Installation tips for a custom gas spring
Once your custom gas spring arrives, you can install it yourself with ease. Make sure you carefully remove the old gas spring first while supporting the hatch or lid, so it doesn't suddenly slam shut. Fit the new gas spring into the same mounting points and check that it moves smoothly across the full stroke. If you're unsure about the right force or length, measure twice before ordering - it'll save you a return shipment.
If your brand of gas spring isn't listed, or you can't find a suitable replacement, you can also choose to build a gas spring entirely to your own specifications. For this, visit our sister site gasveerexpert.nl

Custom gas spring vs. standard replacement
If you'd rather go for a ready-made solution, first check whether your brand of gas spring is already part of our standard range. For well-known brands you'll often find a suitable replacement right away, without the extra step of customization. If nothing in the standard range fits, a custom gas spring remains the best guarantee for a correct fit and years of trouble-free use.
Veelgestelde vragen
What is a custom gas spring?
A custom gas spring is a gas spring built entirely to your specific requirements, such as length, extension force, and mounting type. This is useful when you can't find a standard replacement that fits your cabinet, hatch, or machine exactly. You determine the exact specifications yourself through a configurator, so the end result perfectly matches your application.
How do I know what force my custom gas spring needs?
The force your gas spring needs depends on the weight and size of the hatch, door, or lid you want to support. Measure the weight of the part and the angle at which the gas spring operates. If your current gas spring is too light, the lid will sag; if it's too strong, you'll have to push hard to close it. If you're unsure, it's better to choose slightly stronger than too weak.
Can I install a custom gas spring myself?
Yes, in most cases a custom gas spring installs just as easily as a standard one. First remove the old gas spring while supporting the lid or hatch, then fit the new gas spring into the same mounting points. Make sure the movement is smooth across the full stroke before you secure the part permanently.
Where do I order a custom gas spring?
You order a custom gas spring through our sister site gasveerexpert.nl, where you set the length, force, and connection yourself using the configurator. This way you get a gas spring perfectly tailored to your situation, even if your brand or model isn't part of our standard range. Order your custom gas spring today and avoid the hassle of wrong dimensions.
How much does a custom gas spring cost?
The price of a custom gas spring depends on the length, force, and mounting type you choose. Generally, the cost is close to that of a standard gas spring, with the advantage that you get exactly what you need. The configurator shows you the price immediately once you've entered your specifications.
What if my brand of gas spring isn't in the range?
If your brand of gas spring isn't part of our standard range, a custom gas spring is the best solution. You won't have to wait for a specific brand replacement - instead you configure a gas spring yourself that matches your application exactly in length, force, and mounting type. This way you'll always find a suitable part, regardless of brand.
