For cabinets, inferior hinges are used. No matter how good the cabinet is, it is only for a while. After a while, the hinges are prone to rust and looseness, and the cabinets and door panels are also easily implicated. Therefore, choosing a good and right cabinet hinge is very important. Today, Zhejiang Laidi Technology Co., Ltd. will introduce the purchase of cabinet hinges.
1. Look at the weight of the material
The quality of the hinge is poor, and the cabinet door is easy to be closed forwards and backwards after a long time, loosening and sagging. Almost all major brands of cabinet hardware use cold-rolled steel, which is formed by one-step stamping, with a thick feel and smooth surface. Moreover, due to the thick surface coating, it is not easy to rust, is strong and durable, and has strong load-bearing capacity. Inferior hinges are generally made of thin iron sheet welding, which has almost no resilience. If it takes a long time, it will lose its elasticity and cause the door to close. Lax, even cracking.
2. Observe the details
The details can be seen whether the product is good, so as to confirm whether the quality is outstanding. The hardware used in the high-quality wardrobe hardware has a thick feel and a smooth surface, which even achieves a mute effect in design. Inferior hardware is generally made of cheap metal such as thin iron sheet, and the cabinet door is stretched jerky, and even has a harsh sound. Experience the advantages and disadvantages of different handles. Hinges with different handles feel different when used. A hinge with excellent quality has a softer force when opening the cabinet door, and will automatically rebound when it is closed to 15 degrees, and the rebound force is very uniform. Consumers can open and close the door more and more to experience the hand feeling when purchasing.
In addition to visual inspection and feel the hinge surface is smooth and smooth when selecting the hinge, attention should be paid to the return performance of the hinge spring. The quality of the reed also determines the opening angle of the door panel. A good quality reed can make the opening angle more than 90 degrees. The hinge can be opened 95 degrees, and the two sides of the hinge can be pressed hard by hand to observe that the support spring is not deformed or broken. It is a very strong product with qualified quality. Inferior hinges have a short service life and are easy to fall off, such as cabinet doors and wall cabinets falling off, which are mostly caused by the quality of the hinges.
3. Choose a big brand with quality assurance
For example, Blum is a world-renowned brand. If the hinge design can freely open the cabinet door at an appropriate angle, the spring strength is accurate, the force is very soft when closing the door, the sound is very small, not to worry about pinching fingers and decorative cup lids With the decorative arm cover, the overall effect is more beautiful and elegant. The lines are smooth. The material has sufficient hardness and heavy load. Popular among consumers.
4. Look at the thickness of the hinge
The hinge is the hardware connecting the cabinet body and the door panel, and bears the weight of the door panel. Hinges with poor quality can easily cause deformation of the door panel and inconvenience in opening and closing the cabinet. The types of hinges can be roughly divided into three categories: full cover, half cover and inner side. The type of hinge is mainly selected according to the different installation methods. From the appearance point of view, there is not much difference between high-quality hinges and inferior hinges, the only difference is to observe its thickness.
Good hinges are formed by one-time stamping of alloy, with thick hand feel and smooth surface. Due to the thick surface coating, it is not easy to rust, is stable and strong, and has strong load-bearing capacity. This makes the cabinet door stretch freely and will not close the door tightly. To say that the installation and disassembly is convenient as a quick-installed hinge, it does not need to be drilled on-site, and the door panel will have a position for installing the hinge in advance.
