How To Identify The Cabinet Door Hinge?

The opening method of the cabinet door is different from that of the room door. The opening hardware of the room door is a hinge, while the cabinet door is a hinge.

Hinge is a kind of metal device used at the connection of furniture cabinet doors, such as cabinets, wardrobes, TV cabinets, etc., to connect cabinet doors and cabinets. The structure of ordinary hinge includes hinge seat, cover plate and connecting arm. The hinge with damping function also includes hydraulic cylinder block, rivet, spring and booster arm.

The hinge seat is mainly fixed on the cabinet, and the iron head is used to fix the door panel.

Due to the differences of different styles, styles and processes, there will be three different conventional process structures. The commonly used hinge opening and closing degree is between 90 degrees and 110 degrees. According to the position of the cover on the cabinet door, the hinge can be divided into straight bend, middle bend and large bend hinges, which correspond to three different conventional process structures: full cover, half cover and no cover.

It is generally used, mainly with the hinge of middle bend.

 

If you want the door to completely cover the side plate, you can use straight hinges

If you only want the door panel to cover part of the side plate, you can use a half bent hinge.

Hinges can also be divided into fixed and removable.

Fixed hinge: the loading is relatively stable and not easy to be damaged.

Detachable hinge: applicable to the cabinet door, which needs to be removed frequently for cleaning, painting and other scenes

When we choose hinges, we first look at the material. The hinge quality is poor, and the cabinet door is easy to be lifted up and closed after long use, which is loose and sagging. The cabinet hardware of imported big brands is made of cold-rolled steel, which is formed by stamping at one time, with a thick feel and smooth surface. Moreover, due to the thick coating on the surface and nickel plating on the copper bottom, it is not easy to rust, solid and durable, and has strong load-bearing capacity; The hinge made of stainless steel has insufficient hardness and small bearing capacity, and the surface layer is stainless steel. The main parts are still iron, such as connecting pieces, rivets and dampers. Basically, it will rust, whether it is a shell or a special one. In this way, it is easy to corrode the cabinet door, resulting in the deformation of the cabinet door and shortening the service life; There is also a kind of poor quality hinge, which is generally welded from thin iron sheet and has little resilience. If it is used for a long time, it will lose elasticity, resulting in the cabinet door not being closed tightly, or even cracking, the cabinet door collapsing, and the two cabinet doors fighting, resulting in noise. Imported hinges such as heitisch and Blum do not have these problems. So when some customers asked me about the 304 stainless steel hinge, I made it clear that there is no hinge completely made of 304 stainless steel on the market. Maybe its main body surface is made of 304 stainless steel, but its connecting pieces, rivets and hydraulic cylinders must be made of cold-rolled steel. Because cold rolled steel is harder than stainless steel. If you don’t believe it, you can buy any 304 stainless steel on the market and try it. As long as you suck it with a magnet, you can know. Any hinge has a long life. Don’t think that stainless steel hinges can be permanently rustless. We should pay attention to the current use feeling.

 

In addition, we can weigh the weight of the hinge. According to the weight of the hinge, you can probably distinguish between good and bad hinges. The weight of high-end hinges is generally 100 grams or more, the weight of middle-end hinges is about 80 grams to 90 grams, and the weight of poor hinges is about 35 grams. Generally, it is recommended to choose the ones with more emphasis on weight and good stability. But it is not absolute.
