About Gas Springs
Gas springs are typically used to assist in opening lids, covers, windows, conveyors, and seats—similar to a hatchback opening on a car.

Self-Aligning Remote-Release Latches
Also known as rotary latches, these compensate for door misalignment when closing and then firmly grip the strike bolt for a secure hold. Operate the latches around corners and other obstructions—a flexible cable connects the latch and the handle. Maximum cumulative bend is the combination of individual bend angles the cable can withstand.
For T-handle release latches, pull on the handle to retract the spring-loaded latch.
For push-button release latches, push the button to retract the spring-loaded latch.

Remote-Release Gas Springs
Pair one of these gas springs with a release control to stop and release the gas spring anywhere along the stroke with the push of a button or lever. A valve on the rod end controls extension and compression and is operated with a release control (sold separately). Gas springs have a ball socket end fitting and ball stud on one end for mounting. The ball socket end fitting rotates in any direction on the ball stud to compensate for misalignment.
Release controls (sold separately) thread onto the rod end of the gas spring. They have an integral eyelet fitting for mounting the gas spring. Push-button release control requires an eyelet mounting bracket (not included) to mount the gas spring. Lever release control requires a bolt or pin (not included) to mount the gas spring.
