Common sense is essential for wardrobe hardware slides

Tinme：2017-12-11　点击：

As the most commonly used hardware accessories in wardrobes, the quality of the slide rail directly affects the service life of the wardrobe. Whether the drawer is beautiful is a matter of personal preference, but the function and life depend on the quality of the slide rail. Like the door hinge, the slide rail is a frequently used hardware accessory and is very important in furniture accessories. Therefore, when choosing a slide rail, you should also identify the brand. The price difference is also large. The wall panels of well-known brands are thicker, finely crafted, and durable. The wall panels of small brand slide rails are thinner and rough in workmanship. After a period of use, problems such as poor sliding, noise, and damage will occur.

Common slides:
1. Bottom-supported wheel slides
2. Ball slides
Introduction to slides:
Material: iron (zinc-plated, painted), copper, other alloys
Types and specifications: two-section rails, three-section rails, rebound rails, etc.
Basic working principle: retracting and retracting by rolling the balls (or rollers) between the rails
Common slides:
[Bottom-supported wheel slides]
Use: generally used for drawers
Length: 250~1000MM
Load-bearing capacity: 20Kg~100Kg
Type: (two-section) partial pull-out and (three-section) full pull-out bottom wheel slide installation

[Ball slide]
Purpose: generally used for drawers
Applicable to drawer length: 150~800MM (or even more)
Load-bearing: 10Kg~100Kg or more (Hettich has a model that can reach 136Kg)
Type: Generally based on three-section rails

Bottom-supporting type features:
The rail is hidden at the bottom of the drawer, durable, friction-free and noise-free when sliding, and can be closed automatically. Ball-type features: smooth sliding, easy installation, and very durable. The special structure of the rail and the precision steel balls ensure stability. It can be directly installed on the side panel or plug-in installation or installed in the groove of the drawer side panel. Their specifications are (mm) 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600. There are also many special rails, such as frame rails, countertop ball rails, etc. Selection factors: There are several points that need to be paid attention to when choosing a slide rail, one is specific gravity, two is surface treatment, three is structure and material, and four is applicability. Specific gravity: usually refers to the weight of the same length or volume unit, here it refers to the weight of the same type (such as two sections of rails). Surface treatment: This can be seen with the naked eye. You don't need to listen to too much sales talk, you will understand it naturally after seeing it. Structure and material: look at the cross-section thickness of the metal material of the slide rail, as well as its structure. Usually, the quality of the slide rail that uses a lot of plastic parts is not as good as that of the full metal slide rail. Applicability: You can feel its weight, strength, etc. by stretching the slide rail.
