1. Check the material and weigh it

The hinge quality is poor, and the cabinet door is prone to tilting forward and backward, loosening and sagging after prolonged use. Almost all the hardware components of major brand cabinets are made of cold-rolled steel, which is stamped into shape in one go, with a thick feel and a smooth surface. Moreover, due to the thick surface coating, it is not easy to rust, sturdy and durable, and has strong load-bearing capacity. On the other hand, low-quality hinges are usually welded with thin iron sheets and have almost no rebound force. If used for a while, they will lose their elasticity, leading to the cabinet door not being tightly closed and even cracking.

2. Experience the tactile sensation

Hinges with different advantages and disadvantages have different tactile sensations when used. High quality hinges have a softer force when opening cabinet doors, and will automatically rebound when closed to 15 degrees, with a very even rebound force. Consumers can open and close cabinet doors more frequently when making purchases to experience the feel.

3. Observing details

Details can indicate whether the product is excellent, thereby confirming whether the quality is outstanding. The hardware used in high-quality wardrobes has a thick and smooth feel, and even achieves a silent effect in design. Poor quality hardware parts are generally made of cheap metals such as thin iron sheets, and cabinet doors are stretched and may even make a harsh sound.

When selecting hinges, in addition to visual inspection and smooth surface feel, attention should be paid to the reset performance of the hinge spring. The quality of the spring also determines the opening angle of the door panel, and high-quality spring can make the opening angle exceed 90 degrees.

4. Tips

The hinge can be opened 95 degrees, and both sides of the hinge can be pressed firmly by hand to observe that the supporting spring pieces are not deformed or broken. A very sturdy product is of qualified quality. Poor quality hinges have a short service life and are prone to falling off, such as cabinet doors and hanging cabinets falling off, often caused by poor quality hinges.
