A lift assist hinge for stowable stairs facilitates deployment and stowing. The lift assist hinge includes a mounting bracket securable to a door frame and including a mounting bracket hinge flange. A threshold plate is securable between the stringers and is pivotable with the stowable stairs. A threshold plate hinge flange connected between the threshold plate and the mounting bracket hinge flange is pivotable relative to the mounting bracket hinge flange. A cam slot is disposed in the threshold plate hinge flange, and a gas spring is connected at one end to the mounting bracket hinge flange and at an opposite end in the cam slot of the threshold plate hinge flange. The opposite end of the gas spring is displaceable in the cam slot.
