What is cabinet hinge made of?

What is cabinet hinge made of? It is the common question that clients asked Kingwen Liang.
Hinge, in the spring kav hinge which Kingwen Liang engaged in, most of them use the cold-rolled steel Q195. About the knowledge of cold-rolled steel, please pay attention to the article below:
The use and classification of cold-rolled steel and cold-rolled coil
Cold-rolled steel, the cold-rolled thin steel is short for the ordinary carbon structure cold-rolled steel, is known as the cold steel, sometimes it will be mistakenly written as cold plate. The cold plate is composed of ordinary carbon structural steel hot-steel,
After further cold-rolled it will become the steel that the thickness is less than 4mm. Since the rolling is at a room temperature, it does not produce iron oxide, so it has high surface quality and high toughness, plus the annealing treatment, the mechanical properties and process performance is better than hot-rolled steel. In many fields, especially in the electrical appliance area, has gradually replaced the hot-rolled steel.
Applicable grades: Q195 Q215 Q235 Q275 SPCC (Japan brand) ST12 (Germany brand)
Symbol:

• Q- The code of common carbon structure steel point (limit), it is the first Chinese alphabet, 195 215 235 255 275- respectively the number of their yield point, unit: MPa (N/mm2). Since Q235 steel is better in the strength, plasticity, toughness and weld ability, can meet the general use demands better, so it is widely used in the area.
• S- For steel, P-For plate, C-For cold and the fourth C-For common
• ST-For steel, 12-for ordinary thin sold-rolled steel

Ordinary cold-rolled steel: is made up of the ordinary carbon structure. Cabinet hingehas a perfect surface quality, with good punching properties, it requires the cold-rolled and cup test pass, was usually used in the automotive and other industries and coated sheet materials.
High-quality cold-rolled steel: mainly include all kinds of high quality cold-rolled steel; the most commonly used is carbon structural steel, especially deep drawing cold-rolled steel, is made of high quality carbon steel 08A1, the steel surface quality can be divided into three groups: I II III, respectively especially senior, senior and junior surface finishing. By drawing level is divided into ZF HF F grade(stand for Punch drawing the most complex, very complex and the complex parts) , according to the thickness tolerance, is divided into A and B two precision, widely used in automobile and tractor industries
Cold-rolled steel, with smooth surface, fine processing, it is widely used in cars, refrigerators, washing machines and other appliances, industrial equipment and various construction materials. With the development of economics, cold-rolled steel has been called the certain material in the modern society. Classification of cold-rolled products: hot rolled pickling, rolling hard, ordinary cold-rolled, galvanized (galvanized fingerprint resistant, hot dip galvanized), zinc, tin plating, coating, electrical steel (silicon steel) and so on.

How to choose the bathroom cabinet (about hinge) Original

By Berry

Most of the consumers focus on the style and color of the bathroom cabinet when they choose the cabinet, pays little attention to the selection of cabinet hardware accessories.

At current market, hinge is mainly include: soft close hinge, common hinge, two-way hinge, two-dimensional hinge and three-dimensional hinge by function. By material, hinge mainly include: cold-rolled sheet and stainless steel hinge.

Now there are two kinds of cabinet door hinge: clip on and fixed. The clip-on hinge is divided into base and pedestal two parts, of course, it is easier to install and disassemble for the clip-on hinge. The hinge usually use the two-dimensional and three-dimensional eccentric displacement to adjust , the three-dimensional hinge is of course better.

With half overlay hinge, how to solve the collision when cupboard open?

With half overlay hinge, how to solve the collision when cupboard open?

By Kingwen Liang

This is the question from a friend online at eleven o’clock.

F(for friend ): Hello, here is the question, the two cupboards of the cabinet share the side panel, using the half overlay cabinet hinge, but when I open one of the cupboard, it will hit the other, so, how to solve the problem? The gap of the two doors is about 2 to 3mm.

Kingwen Liang: About the question, firstly we should consider whether the door is too thick (Now many people use the 25mm cupboard), if you choose the ordinary 18mm kitchen hinge, then the collision is inevitable, because the door is too thick, its corners will produce an arc. If this is the issue, I suggest you to use the hinge which is made for the thick cupboard. The holes of thick door hinge are generally 40mm, 5mm longer than regular hinge, within using the thick door hinge, can be very good to avoid the angle problem caused by the door is too thick. Secondly, if it is only the ordinary 15mm or 18mm cupboard, and the door hinge is the conventional product ,then you can try to down the adjusting screw a little bit, about 1mm or 2mm on both sides, it may can solve the problem.(You can see how to adjust on the picture above)

Note: Half overlay hinge, the so-called half-cover hinge, hinge in bending; the ordinary thickness is 9mm.

PS: I got a message below in nine thirty on 23th, September, 2008

Thank you a lot. The door is too thick indeed, and it is aluminum frame doors. I have replaced the half overlay removable hinge to the half overlay ordinary hinge, then the problem solved. Thank you very much, I often read your blog, throughout your blog , I have a better understanding of cupboard hinge, and have been interested in it, hope can be your agent in the future. 

Want to choose a good cupboard Come to see the important factors that affecting the life of a cupboard

Want to choose a good cupboard

Come to see the important factors that affecting the life of a cupboard

cupboard hinge, the main component that linked the cabinet and the door plate, is most used in daily life, so the quality of the door hinge is very important for the use of a cabinet. 90 degrees to 95 degrees is the common opening angle of a cabinet hinge, once it has opened, the shape is a right angle. The hinge with a particular angle, such as 165 degree hinge, the opening angle is 165 degrees, better to get things from the cabinet. At present, the hinge has a one-way hinge and two-way hinge. The one-way hinge can basically meet the usual use, of course, the two-way hinge is better. The difference between one-way hinge and two-way hinge has been referred in the article. On the market, most of the hinges are removable, are divided into the hinge base and hinge body. When you choose the cabinet, you can remove the door and the hinge body so that you can check the hinge inside, while the non-removable hinge is hard to install, the methods of how to use it is the same.

The steel that make of the hinge is important, if the steel is not good, after a period of time, the door plate may have some problems in closing the cabinet. Almost all the cabinet brands use the cold-rolled steel, its thickness and toughness are perfect. Stainless steel is also useful, damp places will soon show signs of rust when use the ordinary steel, while the use of stainless hinge can make up for the problem, can make the furniture live longer. The thickness of the steel has a great influence on the quality of the hinge, which decide whether can bear the weight of the door, must be paid attention to in the purchase of the cabinet.

In addition, you should choose slow close hinge. So-called slow close hinge, refers to when the door is closed, it will leave a certain angle to slow the speed of closing the cabinet, avoid the noise of the hinge, so the cabinet will not be closed suddenly. Except the slow close hinge, push open hinge is the leader when people have rivals full of hands. Once stall the push open hinge, when you touch the door lightly, it can open automatically, which make a great convenience for the daily use.

Finally, the hinge must be able to adapt to the wet, smoke and many other factors in the kitchen. Its quality is key to the normal use and the life of the cabinet, so the hinge is very important. It is not only the connection between the cabinet and the door plate, but also bear the weight of the door plate, in addition to, it must keep the door arranges unchanged, otherwise, after sometime, it will be loose. In the design of the drawer, the most important part is the drawer slide. Due to the special environment of the kitchen, even though low-quality slide you will feel good in a short term, for a long time it will be hard to push-pull, for any product, especially the large one. So “The furniture hinge is the heart of the cabinet, drawer slide is kidney” This sentence is not exaggerated. Furniture hardware accessories must be paid more attention when you ordering the cabinet.
