Talking about the selection and installation skills of wardrobe panel hinges

When purchasing furniture building materials, most consumers tend to focus on the price, color, environmental friendliness, and performance of the board. However, they often overlook details. Cabinet hinges, for example, are a hardware component that is often overlooked but plays a crucial role.

Cabinet hinges, also commonly called "hinges," connect the door panels to the cabinet body. They're the connecting element between cabinet and wardrobe doors. While small, they play a crucial role in furniture.

In order to help consumers conveniently purchase suitable hardware products during the home decoration material selection process, we have specially launched buffer damping hinge products.

Buffer damping hinges, also known as hydraulic hinges, are a type of hinge that utilizes the cushioning properties of liquid to achieve a sound-absorbing buffering effect. Due to their superior performance compared to ordinary hinges, they are widely used in modern furniture customization.

1. Three ways to install hinges:

1. Full cover

The door completely covers the cabinet side panel, with a gap between the two so that the door can be opened safely. Straight arm 0 mm

2. Half cover

In this case, two doors share a common side panel. There is a minimum required total gap between them. The coverage distance of each door is reduced accordingly, requiring a hinge with a bent hinge arm. Medium bend (9.5 mm)

3. Hidden

In this case, the door is located inside the cabinet, next to the cabinet side panel. It also needs a gap so that the door can be opened safely. A hinge with a very curved hinge arm is required. Large curve (16 mm)

2. Four criteria for selecting high-quality hinges:

1. Check the material and weight

Poor-quality hinges can cause cabinet doors to buckle and sag over time. Major brands of cabinet hardware are almost always made of cold-rolled steel, stamped and formed in a single step, resulting in a sturdy feel and a smooth surface. Furthermore, their thick coating makes them rust-resistant, durable, and capable of bearing a strong load. Low-quality hinges, on the other hand, are typically welded from thin sheet metal, resulting in virtually no resilience. Over time, they lose their elasticity, causing cabinet doors to not close properly or even crack.

2. Observe the details

Details reveal the quality of a product and confirm its superior quality. High-quality wardrobe hardware features a sturdy feel, a smooth surface, and even a quiet design. Low-quality hardware is often made of cheap metals like thin sheet metal, resulting in awkward, even jarring, doors.

3. Experience the feel

Different hinges have different feel when used. High-quality hinges have a gentler force when opening the cabinet door, and they automatically rebound when closed to 15 degrees, with very uniform rebound force. Consumers can open and close the cabinet door several times before purchasing to experience the feel.

4. Anti-counterfeiting LOGO

When purchasing furniture made of planks, please use specialized hardware to provide a better experience. Also, be sure to look for the logo on the hinges to avoid counterfeit goods.

The application of high-quality damping hinges makes the opening and closing experience of furniture cabinet doors softer and the quieter effect more prominent.

Damping hinges utilize hydraulic buffering technology to better adapt to the door's closing speed, allowing the door to slowly close automatically when the door is no more than 60° open. This reduces impact force, creating a comfortable closing effect. Even when closing the door with force, it closes gently, ensuring a perfect, smooth movement.

At the same time, the damping hinge has undergone multiple layers of testing and inspection in terms of service life, and the number of opening and closing times is as high as more than 100,000 times. It can withstand destructive force and still not deflate or leak oil.
