A few safety reminders when using gas struts
Gas struts have a wide variety of uses, particularly in windows, doors and vehicles. Although they are easy to install, there are a few safety tips that you need to know about when using them.
Don't puncture the strut
Firstly, don't do anything that could affect the integrity of the strut. Gas struts work by compressing pressurised nitrogen. If a strut develops any holes, the gas will leak away and the strut will stop working.
