The difference between a hinged full cover and a half cover

1. The difference between the three

The so-called full-cover type means that the cabinet door completely covers the side panel, that is to say, when the cabinet door is closed, the cabinet door completely covers the side panel on the side of the fixed hinge, and the side panel is completely invisible from the appearance. That is full cover.

However, the side panels of some cabinets contain patterns. If the side panels are used to show people, the integrity of the cabinet will be better. At this time, the coverless type will be used. As the name suggests, when the cabinet door is closed, the side panels will be completely exposed.

There is also the last half-cover type, which is better understood. After closing the cabinet door, the cabinet door will cover half of the side panel, and the side panel can still be clearly seen at this time.

Second, the use of the scene

The full-cover type is generally used at both ends of the cabinet, and the side panels are covered, which looks more concise.

The half-cover type is usually used in the middle part of the cabinet. For example, when there are cabinet doors on both sides, in order to prevent the cabinet door from colliding, it is necessary to reserve space. At this time, a half-cover type hinge is required. This type of hinge is also used in real life. largest hinge.

If there are patterns on both sides of the side cabinet, wouldn't it be more unsightly if it was covered? At this time, coverless hinges are used, which are also mostly used at both ends of the cabinet.

3. Extended understanding

In addition to full cover, half cover, and no cover, there are many names for hinge specifications on the market, such as straight bend, middle bend, big bend... However, as long as you can understand the above three items, you can understand other names the real meaning.

The full cover hinge is mainly installed on the side panel and does not require any bending when opening the cabinet door, so it is also called straight bend or straight arm.

The half-lid hinge requires a certain degree of curvature when opening the cabinet door, so it is also called a middle curve, a small curve or a forearm.

Coverless hinges require the most camber to open the door, so they are also known as big bends or booms.
