How to determine the quality requirements and product standards of cabinet hydraulic buffer hinge

Hinge is the key to every piece of furniture, because the average number of hinges is more than 10 times a day, so the quality of a hinge depends on the performance of your furniture, so you need to pay great attention to the choice of hinge hardware at home. Basically, the quality of hinges can be distinguished from the following aspects.

1. surface: check whether the surface material of the product is flat or not. If you see scratches and deformation, it is produced by waste (scraps). This kind of hinge looks ugly and makes your furniture classless. Surface treatment: Most hinges are plated with nickel. Now, because JS reduces the cost, only a thin layer of nickel is plated. Real hinges should be plated with a layer of acid copper before nickel plating, which can be very rust-proof. Tip: Teach you a way to tell whether there is copper plating: If JS doesn't object, you can draw a knife with an artist to see if you can see the yellow copper layer. There is a more intuitive way to look inside the hinge cup. Generally, hinge cups are recessed, which is also the most difficult place to electroplate. If the cup shows the same black water quality or can see iron color, it proves that the electroplating layer is very thin and there is no copper plating. If the brightness of the cup is close to other parts, electroplating will pass. Is it simple?

2, switch performance: everyone knows that the hinge key plays the role of switch, so this is very important, the key is taken from the outer spring and inner spring of the hinge, as well as rivet assembly. The outer spring is a leaf spring and the inner spring is a strip spring, both of which have to undergo a certain heat treatment. They are too hard, easy to break, and too soft to close the door. Some JS buy low-priced spring fittings, which causes the door panel to close badly, or the spring breaks and the door panel falls off. Tip: When purchasing hinges (except hydraulic hinges), close the hinges manually and listen to the sound of the hinges closing. Is it crisp? It is good to have a clear interface. If it is a dull door closing sound, it proves that the spring strength is not enough and the material thickness is problematic. Is the hinge cup loose? If there is looseness, it proves that the rivet is not firmly riveted and easy to fall off. Close it several times to see if the indentation on the cup mouth is obvious. If it is obvious, it proves that there is something wrong with the thickness of the cup material and it is easy to "explode the cup".

3. Screws: Generally, the hinge comes with two screws, both of which are adjusting screws, adjusting screws up and down and adjusting screws back and forth. Some new hinges also have left and right adjustment screws, which are now called three-dimensional adjustment hinges and generally have two adjustment stations. Tip: Adjust the screw up and down three or four times with a screwdriver, and then remove the screw to see if the teeth of the hinge arm are damaged, because this hinge arm is made of iron, which is not as hard as the screw and easy to wear, and it is easy to slip or twist because the factory tapping is not accurate enough. The front and rear adjustment screws were also tested.

After reading it, you can basically become an expert in choosing hinges, isn't it very simple? . .
