According to the author's understanding, many consumers are easily attracted by the style and color when purchasing furniture and ignore the hardware. Cabinet hardware plays an important role in its comfort, quality and life, so these seemingly small but actually critical parts must not be ignored when purchasing.


Hinges: The most tested
Experts say that furniture cabinet doors are opened and closed many times a day. The hinges not only connect the door panels of the cabinet body, but also bear the weight of the door panels alone. High-quality hinges will open and close continuously for more than 100,000 times when the door panels are loaded with more than 10 kilograms to ensure that the door panels do not sink.
The opening and closing effect and durability of the hinges are basic requirements. The second is adjustability: the adjustable range of up and down, left and right, front and back is ±2mm; the opening angle should be more than 90 degrees, and it can stop at any angle, and it can automatically return to the position and close at 15 degrees, and it has certain corrosion resistance and safety.
Tip: Some cheap hinges are very laborious to open and close, and there are only two postures, either closed or fully opened, and they cannot stop in the middle. It is best not to buy such hinges.


Slide rails: Both sides must be leveled
Professionals say that the importance of slide rails is second only to hinges. The best sliding function should be a natural combination of stability and load-bearing effect. Under the rated load-bearing conditions, there is no obvious friction sound and jamming phenomenon, and the sliding is smooth. It plays an important role in the use effect and life of the drawer. At present, the two most common types on the market are "iron plate drawer slides" and "damping drawer slides". The general load-bearing capacity of iron plate drawer slides is about 35 kg, and the load-bearing capacity of damping drawer slides is between 45 kg and 70 kg. Not only is the drawer silent, but the load-bearing capacity is also greatly increased. According to professionals, damping drawer slides can reduce the noise caused by violent mechanical collisions and prevent premature aging of metal parts. They also have the function of automatically removing dust.
Tip: If there is a problem with the slide, in addition to poor product quality, another reason is improper installation, which is probably caused by the failure to level the two sides.
