The small size of hardware accessories is not small: the purchase of small hardware

Although hardware fittings are small, they are indeed not small. The quality of hardware accessories can directly affect the use effect and life of the product. Therefore, we must not underestimate the purchase of hardware. So what aspects of all kinds of hardware need our attention? We have specially collected some tips on hardware purchase for the majority of consumers to learn.

1. Pendant, pull basket, shelf

Stainless steel pendants and pull baskets are mainly distributed in the kitchen and bathroom. Stainless steel pull baskets, multi-layer racks, seasoning racks, etc. are widely used in kitchens. For this kind of pull basket, the frame is made of steel wire or iron wire after welding and electroplating. According to dealers, the main manufacturers of stainless steel pendants and pull baskets are Zhejiang and Guangdong. The raw materials of Zhejiang enterprises use stainless steel as the base material. The steel wire is relatively thin and the electroplating surface is not smooth enough. Guangdong enterprises have many iron wires and thicker base materials, but the welding and electroplating process is more advanced. Consumers should consider the load-bearing weight when purchasing.

The various towel racks and washing racks in the bathroom are made of welded chrome-plated copper pipes. The thickness of the pipe wall is 1.0mm-1.2mm when choosing. Since the bathroom is relatively humid, attention should be paid to the smoothness and luster of the shelf when selecting, and the welding points should be firm and smooth.

2. Hinge, guide rail, hinge

The main varieties of hinge hardware are divided into three types: door hinges, drawer guides, and cabinet door hinges. The door hinges are made of copper and stainless steel. The standard single-piece hinge area is 10cm3cm and 10cm4cm, the diameter of the central shaft is between 1.1cm and 1.3cm, and the wall thickness of the hinge is between 2.5mm and 3mm. When the hinge is selected, in order to open easily and without noise, you should choose the central shaft of the hinge. Ball bearings are preferred.

Drawer rails are divided into two-section rails and three-section rails. When choosing, the brightness of the exterior paint and electroplating, the gap and strength of the load-bearing wheels determine the flexibility and noise of the drawer opening and closing, and should be selected for wear resistance and even rotation Of load-bearing wheels.

Cabinet door hinges are divided into two types: detachable and non-detachable. When the door is closed, the cover position is divided into three types: large bend, middle bend, and straight bend. Generally, the middle bend is the main one. In addition to the visual inspection and the feel of the hinge surface, the hinge spring should have a good return performance. You can open the hinge 95 degrees and press both sides of the hinge with your hands. Observe that the support spring is not deformed or broken. It is very strong. It is a qualified product.

3. Handle, handle, lock

The handles are made of zinc alloy, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, wood, ceramics, etc. In order to match various styles of furniture, the shape and color of the handle are even more colorful and colorful. The handles that are electroplated and electrostatic sprayed are wear-resistant and anti-corrosion. In addition to matching the room decoration style, the handle should be able to withstand greater tension. Generally, the handle should be able to withstand a tension of more than 6 kilograms.

With the gradual disappearance of the spherical lock, the handle lock, which integrates the functions of switch, decoration and handle, has become a fashionable lock in home decoration. Handle locks can be divided into space aluminum, stainless steel, copper die-casting, and zinc alloy according to the material. Space aluminum and stainless steel are advanced materials. After surface processing, the luster is bright and the hand feels soft. Although it is corroded by sweat and moisture, it is not easy to fade and Rusty. Die-cast copper handle locks are relatively thick and moderate in price. Some low-quality zinc alloy handle locks are easier to break when used. Because the surface of zinc alloy handle locks is plated with copper, it is not easy to distinguish from copper die-cast handle locks when purchasing. The file is filed on the two kinds of handle lock base plates instead, the brass die-cast handle lock is brass, and the silver-white zinc alloy handle lock.
