How to choose a door hinge? Four elements!

1.Weigh the weight based on the material

The high-quality hinge, front cover and base are both thick and well forged, smooth and without burrs, with high strength. Hinges with poor quality are prone to sagging and loosening after prolonged use. Generally speaking, hardware accessories of major brands almost all use cold rolled steel, which is stamped and formed in one go, and has a relatively thick feel and a smooth surface. Moreover, due to the thick surface coating, it is not so easy to rust, sturdy and durable, and has strong load-bearing capacity. Poor quality hinges are generally welded with thin iron sheet, with almost no rebound force. If used for a little longer, they will lose their elasticity, which may lead to the cabinet door not being tightly closed or even cracking.

2. Experience the touch

Hinges with different advantages and disadvantages have different tactile sensations when used. Generally speaking, high-quality hinges have a softer force when opening cabinet doors. When closed to 15 degrees, they will automatically rebound, and the rebound force can be said to be very uniform.

3. Observing details

Details can indicate whether the product is excellent, thereby confirming whether the quality is outstanding. For example, high-quality hardware has a thick feel and a smooth surface, so it even achieves a silent effect in design. Poor quality hardware components are generally made of cheap metals such as thin iron sheet, which may become astringent and even make a harsh sound when stretched.

4.use test

When you choose a hinge with good hand feel and brightness, you can try several more hinge samples, after all, it's just a fancy design. A good hinge has a soft force and even rebound force when opening the door; Hinges with poor quality have almost no rebound force.
