Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The piston is the same exact length with the same travel distance. The actuation and the amount the lid opens is not noticeably different. Now the hatch pops open with vigor and allows easy, quick access.

These struts are a great option for replacing the oem strut that comes with the sentry handgun safe (biometric or combo) purchased to replace strut in sentry safe * safe. Works well to replace a worn out strut on a sentrysafe.



Cons

Vague instructions, difficult to install and broke in first use. It appears that one of two struts has failed and it hasn't been opened and closed 40 times. I open the lid and the stays do not do a thing.

The rating is bs, or possibly is in inch pounds, a worthless rating for all but the seriously engineering talented. Wow what a pain in the *. These are fussy. More chinese junk.

Amazon says forget it - it's over 30 days. Had to return broken parts for refund. Won't buy it again. Buy the actual gas poston to work correctly.

    The safe lid does not open quite as far as it did before but the difference is insignificant

    I have a sentrysafe pistol safe that was no longer lifting the lid after the strut slowly failed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 50n oem strut began to have diminished functionality after a few years and eventually the spring was the only reason the safe lid can be opened at all


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Then to remove the rod connector i used a wrench to grip the rod to keep it from turning and unscrewed the end piece


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Take out one of these new apexstone 80n18lb 7 inch gas struts and remove both end connectors
