Kitchen cabinet hardware is divided into basic hardware and functional hardware. The former is the general name of hinge group and slide rail, and the latter is the general name of directly used hardware such as pull basket storage rack.
Kitchen basic hardware basic hardware generally includes: hinge, damping, slide rail, etc. in a simple and rough way, it is all the hardware parts that enable the cabinet and pull basket to open, slide, stay, etc.
Hinge
The most important thing to stand the test is the hinge. It should not only accurately connect the cabinet and the door panel, but also bear the weight of the door panel alone, and must keep the consistency of the door arrangement unchanged, otherwise it may turn up and down after a period of time, slip away from the corner.
Slide rail
In the design of the whole drawer, the most important accessory is the slide rail. Due to the special environment of the kitchen, the low-quality slide rail will find it difficult to push and pull even if it feels good in a short time.
The difference between damped and undamped
Damping is matched with slide rail and hinge. Damping has two most important functions: one is to improve hardware accuracy, and the other is to prevent impact and shock absorption.
Kitchen basic hardware purchase elements
First of all, solid without shaking, smooth surface, fine workmanship, smooth and silent use is the foundation.
In addition, the damping and rebound shall depend on whether the force is uniform. If there is no load, it shall be tested whether it can be smooth and silent under load, and whether there is obvious friction and jam.
Cabinet hardware is divided into basic hardware and functional hardware. The former is the general name of hinge group and slide rail, and the latter is the general name of directly used hardware such as pull basket storage rack.
Cabinet functional hardware is divided into corner system, ground rail system, high cabinet system and hanging cabinet system according to different positions and functions.
The reason why we call it a system is that different cabinets need the cooperation of a variety of hardware components to achieve rich functional requirements.
Corner system
One of the most well-known among the public is that various kitchen artifacts that were widely spread in various circles of friends are of this kind, which can be divided into two types: pull type and turntable type, including turntable and basket.
Corner system is also one of the most widely used categories in cabinets, because most cabinets have one or two corners, which are inconvenient to access and easy to cause low utilization. In the era of an inch of land and an inch of gold, it is not so convenient to simply put some storage racks. If the corner system is installed, the utilization rate will be greatly improved, just like adding a cabinet space.
Ground cabinet system
It is almost the storage responsibility of the cabinet, and it is also the most practical one. Such as four side basket (open door type), three side basket (drawer type), sink pull basket (used below the sink), floor cabinet linked pull basket, embedded trash can, narrow side basket (generally used for condiment storage), etc.
The function of three side basket and four side basket is the same, that is, the door opening mode is different, so the style is different. When purchasing, you should consider your personal usage habits.
Some hardware vendors have three side baskets and four side baskets, which are also subdivided into dish baskets and flat baskets. The former has partitions, which store dishes according to different partitions. The latter does not choose the shape, but can also cooperate with the special dish rack. When purchasing, you should ask whether the dish rack needs to pay extra for purchase.
In addition, if the space at the sink is large and the garbage processor only occupies part of the space, a narrower continuous pull basket can also be installed to serve as storage. If the quality of the selected sewer pipe and sink is poor and the moisture is relatively large, the basket shall be rust resistant, corrosion resistant and convenient for disassembly and assembly.
