Bedlift Kit FAQ

Q - The Gas Springs won't compress

A - Bedlift gas springs are under heavy pressure and cannot be compressed manually. The mattress and all bedding must be in place to operate the lifts.

Q - The  Gas springs will not retract

A -  After installation, the bedlift will not close unless the mattress and all bedding is in place.

Q - We installed the bedlifts and the bed won't go down. 

A - Make sure you ordered the correct size Bedlift Kit.

When you set up the bedlift, was the dimension from the floor to the bottom of the bed 39"

Make sure the mattress and all bedding are in place before trying to operate the Bedlift.

Have you tried adjusting the bed per the instructions?

After verifying the installation is correct, if the bed still will not close, contact us at info@hatchlift.com. Please include a picture of the installation, size and configuration of the bed and we will try and troubleshoot the problem.
