Hafele Gas Spring for Kitchen Cabinet – Lift-Up Door Support
A gas spring (also called a pump or gas lift) holds a lift-up cabinet door open for you and lets it close smoothly, without slamming. The Hafele gas spring is designed for upward-opening flap doors on kitchen wall cabinets, overhead storage and furniture units, so you can open the shutter with one hand and keep both hands free while you work.
No more propping the door on your head or using a stick to hold it up. Lift the flap and it stays up. Pull it down and it closes in a controlled way.
Where to Use a Gas Spring for Kitchen Cabinet Doors
- Kitchen wall cabinets with lift-up (top-hinged) shutters
- Overhead storage above wardrobes and lofts
- Crockery units and bar cabinets with flap doors
- Study and TV units with upward-opening compartments
Lift-up flaps still need hinges at the top. Pair your gas springs with Hafele soft close hinges, or with Hafele thick-door hinges for heavier flaps.
Choose the Right Gas Spring Force
Every gas spring for kitchen cabinet doors is rated in Newtons (N). The heavier and larger your cabinet door, the more force you need. Use this as a simple guide:
| Force | Approx. Rating | Typical Door |
|---|---|---|
| 80N | 8 Kg | Small, light flap doors – laminate or thin board |
| 100N | 10 Kg | Standard kitchen wall cabinet flaps |
| 120N | 12 Kg | Larger or heavier flaps – thicker boards, acrylic, glass frames |
| 150N | 15 Kg | Wide, heavy flap doors |
Tip: If the door shoots up on its own, the force is too high. Go one step lower. If the door won’t stay up, go one step higher. When in doubt, WhatsApp us your door size and material and we’ll help you choose.
