Spring-Assist Hinges vs. Counterbalances & Gas Springs

Compared to counterbalance hinges, spring-assisted hinges:

Can handle heavier load applications for their comparative size
Are easier to maintain, unlike counterbalances that may need field adjustments
Have no additional friction components
Typically cost less because they have fewer components

Compared to gas springs, spring-assisted hinges:

Are less expensive to operate and replace
Thrive in extreme temperature conditions and won’t explode in the event of a failure
Allow a greater degree of design customization and fine-tuning
