How to choose kitchen hardware, although kitchen hardware is not very eye-catching in life, even cabinets are inseparable from the combination of hardware, and in kitchen decoration, hardware is the most important and the most easily overlooked. Learn how to choose kitchen hardware.
How to choose kitchen hardware 1 hinge
In the process of frequent opening and closing of cupboard doors, hinge is the most test. It must not only connect the cabinet and the door panel accurately, but also bear the weight of the door panel alone, and must also keep the consistency of the door arrangement unchanged. Otherwise, after a period of time, it may be wave upon wave. Without a pair of "steel bars and iron bones" and perfect flexibility, it is difficult to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
Among the top brands in the world, Ferrari, Heidi Shi, Salice, Blum and Glass belong to the first camp. As the world's top brand, Ferrari has excellent performance, steel thickness, high base, long arm, free positioning and no displacement. In the destructive experiment, the door at the distance of hinge 10cm is loaded with 5 kg and opened and closed for 3 seconds/time, and its opening life can reach 80000 times.
slide
Drawer is an indispensable part of kitchen equipment, and slide rail is the most important accessory in the whole drawer design. Due to the special environment of the kitchen, it is difficult to push and pull the low-quality slide rail for a long time even if it feels good in the short term.
Cabinet manufacturers of well-known brands generally use better quality slide rails, such as "Hailefu" and "Haidishi". In Cobo Boloni Cabinet Store, the sales staff showed the reporter a cabinet named "Time of Light".
The huge 1.8-meter-long drawer can be restored with a gentle push, which shows the reliability of its slide rail quality. In addition, in the design of the drawer, the inner side plate is curved, which solves the problem of the drawer dead angle that cannot be cleaned. The use of partition bars can not only store the articles in categories, but also avoid the articles shaking left and right when the drawer is pushed and pulled.
basin
The most common washbasins are made of stainless steel, artificial stone, ceramics and stoneware. If the kitchen style is fashionable and avant-garde, stainless steel basin is more suitable. This choice is not only because of the metal texture of stainless steel, which is quite modern, but more importantly, stainless steel is easy to clean, light in weight, and has the advantages of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and moisture resistance, which meets the requirements of modern people for quality of life.
There are two styles of common basin, one is single basin and the other is double basin. In the modern kitchen, due to the update of design concept and technology, the shape of water basin is constantly changing, such as circular single basin, circular double basin, large and small double basin, irregular double basin and so on.
Tap, tap
The faucet can be said to be the closest part to people in the kitchen, but its quality is often ignored when purchasing. Facts have proved that the faucet is the most prone to problems in the kitchen. It is very troublesome to use inferior faucets with low price and leaking water.
The design of faucet can provide designers with more space to display their talents. Line, color, modeling and other design elements can inspire many exciting designs, showing the light of aesthetics and art. At the same time, high-quality faucets are the embodiment of science and technology and have extremely high technical requirements. This just meets the aesthetic pursuit of many fashion people for the quality of life.
Pull the basket
Pulling a basket can provide a large storage space, and the space can be reasonably divided by dividing the basket, so that all kinds of articles and appliances can be placed in the right place. According to different uses, the basket can be divided into stove basket, three-sided basket, drawer basket, ultra-narrow basket, advanced basket, corner basket and so on.
Other hardware includes skirting and folding doors. When we choose cabinets, we must not turn a blind eye to these tiny elements except the overall grasp of the cabinets. Pay attention to the brand and quality of hardware when choosing to buy.
How to choose kitchen hardware II. What are the kitchen hardware?
1, hinge
Hinges are used every day, mainly to connect cabinets and doors. It is necessary not only to connect the kitchen cabinet with the door panel accurately, but also to bear the weight of the door panel. Therefore, when the cupboard door is opened and closed, the test is the hinge.
Step 2 pull the basket

Second, how to choose kitchen hardware
1, hinge
When choosing a hinge, the main thing is to look at the thickness. If you look at the shape, the difference between good and bad hinges lies in the thickness. Hinge with good quality, thick feel, smooth surface, not easy to rust, firm and strong load-bearing, can make the cupboard door expand and contract freely without closing the door.
2. Slide rail
When choosing the slide rail, it is mainly to see whether it is smooth when pulling. Because the drawer is supported by the slide rail when it is pulled. According to the design *, the slide rail is divided into three sections: drawable slide rail and roller slide rail. Generally, the bearing capacity of the three sections is about 20㎏, the bearing capacity of the traction rod guide rail is about 40㎏, and the bearing capacity of the roller is about 40㎏. The smaller the resistance of the slide rail, the longer the service life and the smoother the drawer.
Step 3 deal with
Be careful when choosing the handle. There are four kinds of handles on the market: plastic, zinc alloy, aluminum alloy and stainless steel, and zinc alloy handles are widely used. When selecting the handle, check whether the coating on its surface is intact and wear-resistant.
Step 4 look at the quality
When purchasing cabinet hardware, you also need to experience the quality of its finished products. For example, the slide rail of basket pulling, a good slide rail has the characteristics of smooth push and pull, quiet and silent, and soft rebound. When buying, you can pull out the drawer, and then press it hard by hand to see if it will loosen, make a noise or fall over.

Guide to selection of kitchen hardware accessories
1, copper is selected according to different materials.
In terms of materials, there are several kinds of hardware pendants, such as copper, stainless steel, aluminum, alloy and plastic. I suggest you buy copper fittings. The reason is simple: aluminum will oxidize, alloys will rust, plastics will deform, and stainless steel is really difficult to rust, but if it is stainless steel with quality problems, it cannot be guaranteed not to rust. Copper will not have these problems through good electroplating treatment. Especially the base, moisture-proof and waterproof is better than copper.
2. Look inside and choose the hollow one.
Also made of copper, it is divided into hollow tubes and solid copper bars. It is recommended to buy solid ones. After all, it is used in the kitchen, where there is a lot of oil smoke.
3, look at the coating, smooth.
The most difficult thing to choose a pendant is to look at the coating, because for the average consumer, the rough appearance is basically the same. Coating treatment is very important for copper pendants, which is related to the service life, smoothness and wear resistance of products. At the same time, coating treatment is also the biggest cost except copper blank in the process of making copper pendants. The specific electroplating process is not much to say. So how to judge the quality of a key copper plating layer? A good coating is black, shiny and moist, while a poor coating is dull.
A good coating is very flat, and a poor coating will find ripples on the surface if you look closely. Those with depressions on the surface must be inferior products. A good coating is more wear-resistant, and the samples put out by the merchants in the store should be wiped every day. There are basically no scratches on the surface of good products, while there are many scratches on the surface of bad products.
