FAQs

A compression spring pushes back when squeezed, a tension or extension spring pulls back when stretched, and a disc spring is a dished washer that gives a high force over a very short travel. Each has its own sub-category here, alongside clock springs, with power and wave springs also listed, so start from the direction of the load.

Travel is how far the spring can be compressed, initial force is what it pushes back with at the start of that travel, and max force is the load at full travel. A listing such as travel 63mm, initial force 1000N and max force 1532N lets you check stroke and load together. Versions with a front flange or end support are also listed.

Gas struts are listed by stroke and extended length, for example a variable force strut with a 700mm stroke and 1511mm extended length, so measure the open and closed positions of the lid or hatch first. Then add matching end fittings, such as ball joints with 6mm or 8mm thread, a 14mm clevis fork clip or a circular mounting bracket.

Quarter turn locks and cam locks swing a cam behind the frame and suit general cabinet and panel doors. Compression locks and latches also draw the door tight against its seal, which helps on gasketed enclosures. Swing handle locks have a handle that swings out, with rod control versions listed. Lever latches are chosen by panel thickness, with ranges such as 11-21mm and 31-41mm.

Grip height is the distance from the outside face of the door, where the lock body seats, to the point where the cam clamps behind the frame. It has to match your door and frame build-up. Quarter turn locks here are named with grip heights such as 15mm, 18mm, 30mm, 36mm and 50mm, so measure before choosing.

Both are cranked cams for cam locks, and the bend height shifts the clamping point to suit where your frame sits. On this page offset cams carry positive bend heights, such as +4mm, +20mm and +22mm, and reverse cams carry negative ones, such as -2mm and -5mm. Lengths of 35mm and 45mm are listed, and offset cams come with or without a stopper.

Spring, Strut & Hardware

Everything in this section is picked by specification rather than by machine, which makes it the purest spec-pick territory on the site: springs by their measured dimensions, gas struts by their four numbers, and the latches, locks and hinges of industrial enclosures by their form, cut-out and fixing, across more than 1,800 lines. The spring families divide by how they work. Compression springs, the largest shelf, push back as they shorten and are picked on three dimensions, wire diameter, outside diameter and free length. Tension springs pull as they stretch, hooks included in the measure. Disc springs stack, in series for travel or parallel for force, so one washer-sized spring becomes whatever the job needs. Clock springs deliver rotation from a coiled band, and the Sykes coil spring compressor spares one shelf over serve the workshop tool that handles the automotive kind safely. A gas strut is picked on four numbers: the force in newtons, the extended length, the stroke, and the end fittings, all four stated on every listing, and force is the one that varies within a body size, so the same strut body serves a light lid at one newton rating and a heavy hatch at another, which is the variable-force answer this section owns. The hardware side furnishes the enclosure trade: quarter turn latches and locks, cam locks, lever latches, compression locks, swing handle locks and screw-on hinges, with the seals, O rings and grease nipples that finish a cabinet. Dimensions typed into search find a spring, the four numbers find a strut, and a worn part photographed with a rule beside it over WhatsApp on 07754288583 comes back measured and named.
