- Hardware hinges are commonly known as hinges, which bear the important responsibility of connecting the cabinet and the door panel. In ordinary cabinet use, the hinge is the most tested. Therefore, it is also one of the most important hardware of the cabinet.
- Most of the hinges seen on the market are detachable, divided into two parts, the base and the buckle. Hinge generally has two points:
- Card and three-point card, three-point card hinge is of course better. If possible, try to choose a multi-point positioning hinge. The so-called multi-point positioning means that the door panel can stay at any angle when it is opened. It will not be laborious to open and it will not be closed suddenly, thereby ensuring the safety of use. This is especially important for upward-hung type cabinet doors.
- 1. Look at the material. Almost all of the cabinet hardware of the big brands use cold rolled steel, which is formed by one-time stamping. In addition, due to the thick surface coating, it is not easy to rust, strong and durable, strong load-bearing capacity, cabinet doors stretch freely, and the door will not be closed tightly. Inferior hinges are usually stamped from the corner iron sheet, and the thickness of the material is unstable, which leads to loose and tight installation, unsmooth opening and closing, and sometimes the gap between important mating parts is too large, which greatly affects the service life. The use of good springs and poor springs is also the key to hinge quality. With poor springs, there is almost no rebound force. If it is used for a long time, it will lose elasticity, causing the cabinet door to close tightly and even crack.
- 2. By hand. The hinges with different strengths and weaknesses have different feels. The hinges with high quality are softer when opening the cabinet door, and will automatically rebound when closed to 15 degrees, and the rebound force is very uniform. Inferior hinges have a short service life and are easy to fall off, such as cabinet doors and hanging cabinets, which are mostly caused by the poor quality of the hinges.
- The hinge can be opened by 95 degrees, and both sides of the hinge are pressed firmly by hand, and the support spring is not deformed or broken, and it is very strong and is a qualified product. Inferior hinges have a short service life and are easy to fall off, such as cabinet doors and hanging cabinets, which are mostly caused by the poor quality of the hinges.
