Square keys
Square keys or universal keys are standardized keys primarily used for specific applications where security is important, but where quick and universal access must be provided to authorized personnel. These keys are often designed with simple geometric shapes such as squares and triangles. These square keys can have a male (pin) or female (socket) configuration.
Placing an ordering
Yes, for several items with an order button, you can order directly and pay online securely.
For other items, you can request a quote. To do this, place the product in the shopping cart, which will then be sent to us as a price request. Once we send you the quote, you can decide whether or not to place an order.
At the top of our website, you will find a search field where you can find your product using keywords.
Through our top navigation, you can also click through to a product category and then visually find your product via photo or filter by the features of your product. You can then click on the item to see a product sheet with all the details. On the detail page, you can click through to place an order.
Are you looking for a gas spring and have the reference? Enter it in the search field at the top or use the gas spring finder. If there is an exact match, a label with "exact match" will be displayed in the search result.
For most gas springs and other items, you can immediately see the price and order and pay online. For items without a price, you can only request a quote. We try to send you a quote within 48 hours. We are working daily on the website to ensure that you can see a price for every item. However, this process takes a lot of time because we have around 50,000 items in our range. We apologize for the inconvenience.
For many gas springs, we have price lists that allow us to show you the price of the gas spring immediately on our website. However, there are many thousands of types of gas springs, and if you request a price for a less common gas spring, we need to contact the manufacturer ourselves for the price and availability of the specific gas spring.
Some manufacturers respond very quickly, while with others, we also need to be quite patient. Normally, you will receive your quote within 2 to 4 working days, but when we need to wait for the necessary information from the manufacturer, it can take up to 1 week before we can inform you. If you have not heard from us after a week, something may have gone wrong, so please do not hesitate to contact us again.
If the order value of your purchase is higher than €1000, you can request a quote from us. Of course, you can also do this for items whose price you cannot find on our webshop. If you place a quote request via email and the value of your order is less than €1000, unfortunately, you will not receive a better price from us. The fastest and easiest way to request a quote is through our webshop.
Shopping Cart
Place the items you wish to order in the shopping cart. If the order value is higher than €1000, you will have the option to click on "request a quote." You can consult your shopping cart at any time by clicking on the shopping cart icon at the top right of the website. Here you can review and possibly modify your quote request before proceeding.
Fill out information
Fill in the requested information. Fields marked with an asterisk * are mandatory.
Confirmation
When you click on "Request a Quote," you will see a screen confirming that the request has been successfully sent. You will also receive an automatically generated email with an overview of the goods for which you requested a quote. If you do not receive this email, we recommend checking if it has accidentally ended up in your spam folder (junk mail). This email does not yet contain any prices.
Quote
You will receive the personalized quote with prices once we have processed your request, which can take 2 to 4 working days, depending on the manufacturer.
You can submit a quote request or an order in different ways.
On our website, you can request a quote for items without a price. You can also request a quote for a shopping cart exceeding €500. A large number of gas springs and a few other items can be ordered directly and paid for securely. This is the fastest and easiest way for both you and us because we then have all your information immediately. For orders placed via the webshop, the payment is also completed directly (unless you choose to pay by bank transfer).
We try to respond to you within 48 hours on working days. For both quote requests and orders placed via the webshop, you will receive an automatically generated email with an overview of your order or request. For a quote request, we usually send you a personalized quote by email within 2 to 4 working days.
For an order placed via bank transfer on the webshop, an order confirmation follows with the details to pay for the items in advance. If the item is in stock and the payment is completed, you will receive an email with the track & trace number to follow your package.
We ask for the minimum amount of information necessary to serve you properly. We understand that privacy is very important, and this information is therefore not shared with third parties. More information can be found in the disclaimer.
