Cabinet hardware is divided into basic hardware and functional hardware. The former is the general name of the hinge group and your slide rails, and the latter is the general name of the hardware directly used such as the basket storage rack we often say.
Kitchen basic hardware Basic hardware generally includes: hinges, dampers, slide rails, etc., simply speaking, all the hardware components that allow cabinets and baskets to open, slide, and stay. The most tested hinge is the hinge.
It not only needs to precisely 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, otherwise, after a period of time, it may lean forward and backward, and the shoulders will fall off.
Slide rail
The most important accessory in the design of the entire drawer is the slide rail. Due to the special environment of the kitchen, even if the low-quality slide rail feels good in the short term, it will be difficult to push and pull for a long time.
The difference between damped and non-damped
damping is matched with slide rails and hinges. Damping has two most important functions, one is to improve hardware accuracy, and the other is to prevent shock and shock.
First of all, the basic elements of kitchen hardware should be firm without shaking, the surface is smooth and fine workmanship, and the use of smooth and silent is the foundation.
In addition, damping and rebound depends on whether the force is uniform, and if there is no load, it is necessary to test whether it can be smooth and silent under the load, and whether there is obvious friction and jamming.
Cabinet hardware is divided into basic hardware and functional hardware. The former is the general name of the hinge group and your slide rails, and the latter is the general name of the hardware directly used such as the basket storage rack we often say.
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 because different cabinets need the cooperation of various hardware components to achieve rich functional requirements.
The corner system
is the most well-known item. Various kitchen artifacts that have been widely spread in various circles of friends are of this type. They are divided into two types: pull-out and turntable, including turntable and basket.
Corner system is also the most widely used category 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 gold and land, 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 an extra cabinet space.
The base cabinet system
is almost the storage responsibility of the cabinet, and it is also the most practical one. Like four-sided basket (open door type), three-sided basket (drawer type), sink basket (used under the sink), floor cabinet linked basket, embedded trash can, narrow-sided basket (generally used for condiment storage), etc. .
The function of the three-sided basket and the four-sided basket is the same, that is, the way of opening the door is different, so the styles are different. When purchasing, consider your personal habits.
The three-sided and four-sided baskets produced by some hardware companies are also subdivided into two types: dish baskets and flat baskets. The former has partitions, and the dishes are stored according to different partitions. The latter does not have to choose the shape, and can also be equipped with a special dish rack. When purchasing, ask whether the dish rack needs to be purchased at an additional cost.
In addition, if the space at the sink is large, the garbage disposal only takes up part of the space, and a narrower interlocking basket can also be installed in it to serve as storage. If the selected sewer pipes and sinks are of poor quality and the humidity is relatively large, the pull basket should consider rust resistance, corrosion resistance and easy disassembly and assembly.
Many families are not accustomed to using built-in trash cans, and feel that the garbage is smelly in the cabinet.
But is the rubbish in the kitchen tasteless? Or is this rebuttal based on not taking out the trash for a week?
What’s more, the cabinet generally has a cover, and timely cleaning will keep the entire kitchen clean and tidy.
