Although the small hinge is insignificant, it is an important factor in the service life of furniture. The hinge switches more than 10 times a day in daily life, so a hinge can determine the quality of the home performance, and residents need to pay great attention to the purchase of hinge hardware. Many families will encounter the furniture will not take long to appear cabinet door deformation, can not be closed normally, the switch has noise, the door without buffer and other problems, this is because the quality of the selected hinge is not up to standard, corrosion rust or damage caused by.

Summarized for everyone in the daily life of furniture hinge several common problems:
one The hinge is deformed or broken, causing the door panel to sag or fall
2. The hinge is seriously corroded, affecting the experience of furniture use
3. Hinge buffer oil leakage, failure, opening and closing without buffer
4. The hinge opening and closing have "squeak", "rattle" and other noises

The reason why these problems arise is because the selected hinge structure is unreasonable, the material is not strong enough, and the corrosion resistance and buffer damping performance are not good. So, how can you buy a suitable and good quality hinge?

First of all, let's understand what is a hinge and what are the categories of hinges? Knowing these, you can clearly know which type of hinge your furniture is suitable for.

The hinge is a hardware connector connecting the door panel and the cabinet side panel, also known as a hinge
At present, the hinges on the market can be divided into fixed and disassembled types according to the base type
Fixed type: hinge and main body connected, can not be disassembled;
Disassembly type: hinge base, the main body disassembly is convenient, if you need to disassemble the door, choose disassembly type hinge is more convenient.
According to the position of the door panel and the side panel, the hinge of different arm bends can be selected for connection:
Full cover type (straight curved hinge) : the door panel is located at the front end of the side panel of the cabinet, the side panel can be completely covered, and there is a small gap between the door and the side panel to ensure that the door can be opened and closed normally, and the hinge is slightly curved or zero, so it is also called straight curved hinge.
Half cover type (middle bend hinge) : the door panel partially covers the side panel, which is suitable for installing two adjacent door panels on a side panel, and there must be a gap between the two doors (at least 2× minimum gap), that is, the covering distance on each door is smaller; Hinge with a certain curvature, also known as the hinge bend.
No cover (large curved hinge) : The door panel is built into the cabinet (also called built-in), next to the side panel of the cabinet, in this case, also need minimum clearance in order for the door to be able to move normally. At this time, the hinge needs to have a large curvature, so it is also called a large bend hinge.
