Cabinet hardware fittings are one of the important parts of kitchen equipment. Cabinet hardware fittings occupy an important position in cabinet materials, which directly affects the comprehensive quality of cabinets. Hardware fittings of integral cabinet include hinges, slide rails, pressure devices, feet, baskets, drawer guide rails, hanging yards, seals and hanging cabinet pendants.
1. Hinge Hinge is commonly known as hinge. In the process of frequent opening and closing of cupboard doors, hinge is the most tested one. At present, most of the hinges seen in the market are detachable and divided into two parts: the base and the buckle.
2. Whether the drawer can be pushed and pulled freely and smoothly, to what extent, how to bear the load and whether it will tip over depends on the support of the slide rail. From the current technology, the bottom slide rail is better than the side slide rail, and the whole connection with the drawer is better than the three-point connection. When choosing a cabinet, the quality of the slide rail steel is also the most important. A good cabinet drawer can be pulled out without overturning and falling off, and the disassembly is simple.
3. Hydraulic Buffer Generally, when we close the cupboard door, there will be a loud bang, which will shorten the service life of the cabinet. To avoid this phenomenon, a small hydraulic buffer can solve the problem. The cabinet door equipped with this humanized small accessory prevents noise when it is closed, and plays a role in protecting the cabinet body.
4. The kitchen floor is relatively wet, and high-quality metal feet can prevent moisture and prolong the service life of cabinets. The inferior cabinets in the market use recycled plastic foundation. After a period of use, due to aging, the cabinets will lose their balance and collapse, resulting in the fracture of artificial stone countertops, and the cabinets can no longer be used.
5. among the hanging cabinet hardware, the hanging cabinet pendant is the main force to support the hanging cabinet. The hanging piece is fixed on the wall, and the hanging code is fixed on both sides of the left upper right corner of the hanging cabinet. After hanging it, it can be adjusted up and down, back and forth. Finally, the cabinet body combiner can ensure the fixed quality and use effect.
6. Pulling a basket is a functional accessory that is related to whether the kitchen is comfortable, convenient and fashionable in the future. The basket has a large storage space, and it can divide the space reasonably, so that all kinds of goods and appliances can be' in their proper places', and the space at the corner can be fully utilized to maximize the use value of space.
How to choose cabinet hardware
The choice of cabinet hardware is directly related to the quality of life in the future, and there is some knowledge about how to choose cabinet hardware, mainly depending on the following points:
1. Look at the material. Almost all the cabinet hardware of big brands are made of cold-rolled steel, which is formed by stamping at one time, with thick feel and smooth surface. Moreover, due to the thick coating on the surface, it is not easy to rust, strong and durable, and has strong load-bearing capacity. The cupboard door can be stretched freely, and the door will not be closed tightly. Inferior hinges are generally welded with thin iron sheets, which have almost no resilience. If they are used for a long time, they will lose their elasticity, resulting in the cabinet door not being tightly closed or even cracked.
2. feel. The hinges with different advantages and disadvantages have different handfeel. The hinges with excellent quality are soft when opening the cupboard door, and will automatically rebound when it is closed to 15 degrees, and the resilience is very uniform. Inferior hinges have a short service life and are easy to fall off, such as falling doors and hanging cabinets, which are mostly caused by poor hinge quality.
slide rail: if the hinge is the heart of the cabinet, then the slide rail is the kidney. Whether those drawers, large and small, can be pushed and pulled freely and smoothly, and how to bear the load depends on the support of the slide rail. From the current technology, the bottom slide rail is better than the side slide rail, and the overall connection with the drawer is better than the three-point connection. The material, principle, structure and technology of drawer slide rail vary widely. The high-quality slide rail has small resistance, long service life and smooth drawer.
steel test: how much the drawer can bear depends mainly on the quality of the rail steel. Drawers with different specifications have different steel thicknesses and different bearing capacities. When shopping, you can pull out the drawer and press it hard with your hand to see if it will loosen, bang or turn over.
Look at the material: the material of the pulley determines the comfort when the drawer slides. Plastic pulley, steel ball and wear-resistant nylon are the three most common pulley materials, among which wear-resistant nylon is the top grade, which is quiet and silent when sliding. Look at the quality of the pulley, you can push and pull the drawer with one finger, there should be no astringency and no noise.
pressure device: in the hardware fittings of cabinets, besides the slide rails, drawers and hinges closely related to them, there are many hardware of pneumatic and hydraulic devices. These accessories are produced to adapt to the ever-changing design mode of cabinets, and are mainly used for flip-top doors and vertical lifting doors. Some devices have three or more braking positions, which is also called "random stop". The cabinet with pressure device is labor-saving and quiet, which is very suitable for the elderly.
