Hatchlift Products HLK-MED Medium Hatchlift Kit

Fairly easy to install

Great product used on front bay of RV.

Bought two of these hatch lifts to put on the cargo door for RV. Installation took about an hour and a half for both. All the parts were there except it didn't come with self tapping screws as it says it does. So had to drill pilot holes in the cargo door to install. If you don't feel comfortable doing drilling I would suggest finding some self-tapping screws at a local hardware store. Otherwise make sure you use a variable speed drill and just run it at a slow speed to get through the door and any metal pieces that might be within the cargo door. Once everything was installed and the gas Springs connected, it worked perfectly. One additional thing to note is that the cargo door that I have flips up a whole 180°. You can only go 160° with these gas springs. So I just used a right triangle calculator that I googled and then figured how far out the top of the cargo door had to be from the side wall. Then cut a piece of wood at the correct length and put it at the top of the door so it kept the top of the door out to create the 160 degree angle. Hopefully you understand what I am talking about. The piece of wood that I used was 10 and 1/4 in long. I would recommend this product to other people but with the caveat that it doesn't come with self-tapping screws so be prepared to drill or go buy some self-tapping screws.

Directions very clear, installed 2 in under an hour. Hint- after you mark with a pencil where the plate attaches to the door, I used painters tape to mark outside the line to make scuffing it easier

I installed 2 lifts on my water/sewer door on a Forest River Sun Seeker Class C RV. The kit provides everything needed for the install except the tools. I installed both lifts in under an hour. Instructions were detailed and easy to follow. I would purchase this product again even though it seems a bit high priced.

This is an extremely well made product and I was looking forward to the installation and use on my Winnebago motorhome. Unfortunately, due to some latches in the compartments prevented installation in my rig. After several days of trying, I was able to finally communicate with someone at Hatchlift and they let me know that the lift kit would not work for me. Disappointed!If the kit had worked, I probably would have rated at least a 4. The only reason I would not give a 5 was due to their lack of customer service.

It worked great

I love these! Makes opening the doors easy and care free.

I recommend this product.You will need to be fairly manual to install this.All the pieces that you need are in the package.Works really well.No issues.

I installed only one shock on hatch size that was recommended ton install 2, just 3 inches larger than recommended. I’m satisfied by the results that I might keep only one per hatch. I ordered just 2 to test so I will be able to complete 2 hatches. Hatches are 33wX20h

Facile d’installation. Le seul petit problème et que les vis autoperforantes ne fonctionnent pas. Il faut faire un trou avec une mèche. C’est mineur comme problème mais les instructions ne sont pas exactes.

Awesome product. Great instructions, easy install. Terrific customer service from Hatchlift.

Item excellent j'adore le tout se travaille à la merveille
