Once the hardware rusts, falls off, or breaks...even if the board is good, the cabinet can no longer be used.

It can be seen how important it is to choose the right hardware.

Frankly speaking, don't unlisten to the advice, you will only know the importance of hardware after you 

really have the problem

The switch cabinet door squeaks, the cabinet door is open and crooked...

All of these affect our quality of life too much.

The most important hardware accessory in the cabinet door is the hinge

Today, I will share with you what is a high-quality hinge.

 

 What is hinge?

■ Hinges:  Generally used in furniture, it is mainly composed of three parts: hinge arm, hinge arm cover, 

and hinge base.

Its main function is to connect the cabinet body and the door panel, and now it is usually used in 

conjunction with damping (to buffer shock and prevent the cabinet door from rebounding).

After installation, the cabinet door can be freely rotated to open or turned up or down to open.

 

■ Hydraulic hinge: It is also called hydraulic hinge, which uses the buffering performance of liquid 

to adapt to the closing speed of the door to achieve a silent closing effect.

 

 What is one way and two way hinge?

Common hinges are divided into one-way hinge and two-way hinges. The one-way hinge has a 

simple structure and is the most popular hinge in the current furniture hardware market.

 

The two way hinge has the function of door opening and anti-collision, which is more suitable 

for the current custom furniture use. The advantage is that the tail hovers when the door panel 

is opened, and it will not move back and forth, which can effectively prolong the life of the furniture.

■ Door open buffering function: two-way hydraulic buffer, the cabinet door can hover to the end when 

it is opened, which can slow down the opening tension and prolong the life of the hinge and the cabinet.

 

■ Function of adjusting the cabinet door: 3D adjustment, through the two different adjustment 

structures of the nut and the adjusting compass, the cabinet door can be adjusted up and down, 

left and right, and the front and back adjustment can effectively solve the problem of scraping 

and beating the cabinet door.

 

Model of hinge

There are three types of hinges: full cover, half cover, insert (also known as straight arm, middle bend, big bend), 

etc. Although they are called variously, they mean the same thing.

The material of the hinge

 

■ Material is divided into: iron, stainless steel, carbon steel 210, 304.

In the market, iron (cold-rolled steel) is the most widely used.

ps: Imported hardware is also mostly made of this material.

 

Here recommend our Temax HB197 hinge (pure three-dimensional fine-tuning)  The connecting 

parts are all heat-treated, equipped with precision damping hydraulic rods for noise reduction 

and mute, and there is a three-dimensional six-way fine-tuning function blessing (see video display).

The small two-way design reduces the rebound of the door panel, has a longer service life, and has 

a super damping effect. (Hard self-closing) provides better performance experience for high quality 

furniture, visible quality when sliding and pulling.

Brings a comfortable and dynamic opening and closing experience to every cabinet door

 

Don't underestimate the hinge. Although you seldom pay attention to it every day as the host, 

it is hidden in various furniture such as wardrobes, cabinets, lockers, etc. Every day we open the 

doors of the cabinets up to dozens of times. Second, it is the "hero behind the scenes"

who pays silently.

 

Therefore, choosing a good hinge not only determines the grade of the cabinet, 

but also determines the quality of your life.
