How to Choose Wooden Door Hardware

Lock hardware is one of the important elements in wooden doors. How to choose lock hardware?

1.When purchasing hinges and rails,suggestion is to try pulling it a few times first to feel its flexibility and convenience.

2. When choosing household locks, it is recommended to choose a lock with a heavier feel. The heavier the lock, the thicker the material of the lock core and the more wear-resistant it is. Otherwise, it indicates that the material is very thin and easily damaged. Then look at the surface smoothness of the lock to see if it is delicate and smooth, without spots. Then repeatedly open it with the key to see the sensitivity of the lock cylinder spring.

3. When purchasing special hardware products, it is important to first check whether there are any defects in their appearance, how shiny they are when electroplated, and whether they feel smooth.

4. Many families nowadays consider using sliding doors when decorating. High quality sliding door hardware products are mainly reflected in their pulley design, manufacturing level, and matching track design. The bearings used for sliding doors must be multi-layer composite bearings, with an outer layer of wear-resistant nylon sleeve. The surface of this type of nylon must be very smooth, without ridges, and the inner ball bracket is also of nylon structure, which can effectively reduce the noise during the sliding process of the pulley. The track matched with the pulley should be a cold rolled steel track or an aluminum alloy track. The selection of steel rails and aluminum alloy tracks mainly depends on the strength design of the track and the smoothness of the contact surface between the track and the pulley. The better the smoothness, the more flexible it can be used.
