Precautions When Purchasing Hinges

Hinge, also known as hinge, is a mechanical device used to connect two solids and allow relative rotation between them. Hinges can be made of movable components or foldable materials.

Hinge is a very important part of hardware. As the basic hardware of high-frequency furniture such as cabinets and wardrobes, the service life of hinges is mainly affected by load-bearing performance and corrosion resistance, which is comprehensively determined by the material, dosage, structure and other factors of hinges. When we choose hinges, we choose them in terms of whether they are smooth, quiet, and long-lasting. The function of the hinge is to connect the cabinet and the door panel. While eating, it still bears the weight of the door panel alone to keep the door arrangement consistent. For hinges, try not to buy cheap ones. Unlike washbasins, they can be changed easily. Good hinges not only have a long service life, but also are more convenient to install.

See if there is a small angle buffer. Generally, the hinge can only be buffered when it is opened to the maximum angle. Closing the door at a small angle has no buffering effect, and the door slams. This kind of hinge is an unqualified product in foreign countries, which has potential safety hazards and is also harmful to the cabinet door. At the purchase site, you can try several more hinge samples. A good hinge has a soft force channel and uniform resilience when opening the door. A hinge with excellent quality will automatically rebound when it is closed to 15 degrees, and the resilience is very uniform.; The hinge with poor quality has almost no rebound force.

Whether it is three-dimensional adjustment. This three-dimensional adjustment is convenient for the anmen master or his own installation. He can adjust the speed according to his favorite speed of closing the door. He can adjust it up, down, left and right neatly. If the ordinary hinge cannot be high-low-key, the height of the whole row of wardrobe will be uneven.

Whether the surface treatment is thickened electroplated coating. Hinges of good quality have a thick feel. Almost all cabinet hardware of big brands use cold rolled steel, which is stamped and formed at one time. The surface is smooth and feels better. Moreover, due to the thick coating on the surface, it looks bright, pure color, and looks more comfortable. Such a hinge is strong and durable, with strong load-bearing capacity, and the cabinet door can be stretched freely, so that the door cannot be closed tightly. Poor quality hinges are generally welded from thin iron sheet, which is not so bright visually, rough and thin, and the hinge quality is poor. Poor quality hinges are generally welded from thin iron sheet, which has almost no rebound force. If they are used for a long time, they will lose elasticity, and the cabinet door is easy to tilt forward and close back, loose and sag.

The details can see whether the product is excellent, so as to confirm whether the quality is outstanding. The hardware used in high-quality wardrobe hardware has a thick feel and smooth surface, and even achieves the effect of mute in design. The hinge can be opened 95 degrees, and the two sides of the hinge can be pressed by hand. Observe that the supporting spring is not deformed or broken. The very solid product is qualified. 304 stainless steel hinges on the market will rust sooner or later. Indeed, their main parts are stainless steel, but their connecting parts such as baffle or hydraulic column and screws must be iron. In addition, stainless steel is also divided into 201 and 304, thick and thin, so it is not that stainless steel hinges will be permanently rustless.

Hold the iron cup of the hinge and slowly close the hinge like closing the door. Remember to be slow. If you feel that the hinge is smooth and there is no obstacle, and even try a few are smooth, then the product of the hinge is initially qualified. Then look at the stress of the hinge of the sample on site. Press it directly against the door panel. If it feels very stable, it proves that the thickness of the material is relatively good.
