A, the closed leaf slide class

Closing leaf

The importance of the hinge not only lies in anti-theft, to be strong, but also pay attention not to have noise. The key to selecting a noise-free hinge lies in its central axis, the process is not good, not smooth or metal hardness is not enough hinge will cause the ear-piercing grinding sound when opening and closing the door. The size and thickness of the selected leaf is proportional to the weight of the door, the heavier the door, the more gravity needs a leaf. For aesthetic purposes, the color of the metal used in the leaf is best with other metal products on the door (such as door locks, etc.) the same color. In addition, when painting do not paint to the leaf, paint penetration into the leaf will increase friction, hindering the normal opening and closing of the door.

It is worth mentioning that nowadays there is a new type of lifting type hinge, can make the door open or close since the action has a limited elevation, so as not to touch the carpet. The structure of this hinge is different from the ordinary hinge, the left and right two blades in the central axis of the interface has a certain slope. When the door is opened, the door is automatically raised, avoiding the obstruction of the carpet to the foot of the door.

Slide rail

Do not know the internal structure of the slide rail

In our naked eye can not see the slide inside, is its bearing structure, this part is directly related to its load-bearing capacity. Currently on the market both steel ball slide rail, also has a silicon wheel slide rail. The former through the steel ball rolling, automatic exclusion of the slide on the dust and dirt, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the slide, not because of dirt into the internal and affect its sliding function. At the same time, the steel ball can make the force spread around to ensure the stability of the drawer horizontal and vertical direction.

Silicon wheel slides in the long-term use, grinding process generated debris in the form of snow flakes, and by rolling can also be brought up, the same will not affect the drawer sliding freely.

Drawers with partial pull-out slides can hold items that are easy to see in full, or are not used very often.

Pull out the drawer completely, from the bottom you can clearly see its structure and its contact with the slide part of the specific structure, but also can observe the thickness of the drawer side panels.

Second, the handle

The optional handle must be based on the style, function and place of the furniture. Generally speaking, the relationship between the handle and the furniture has two general principles of processing, namely, eye-catching or hidden.

The entrance is often one of the key decorative parts of a set of living room, the entrance cabinet handle can emphasize its decorative nature, the installation of two luxurious and beautiful handle on the symmetrical decorative door. And shoe cabinets should be selected color and luster and plate close to the single-headed type of pull. These are mainly to use the function of the furniture, its handle should have a hidden, to prevent the owner to use as appropriate. Food decorative cabinet (commonly known as the wine cabinet) handle can be adapted to its own more eye-catching tone, the purchase of a glossy and slightly contrasting with the furniture color double-headed handle. TV cabinet handles can consider choosing those with electrical appliances or TV counter stone color, like black, gray, dark green or sub-gold exposed metal handles. Small living room, especially the furniture in the walkway area, you can choose the kind of closed pull handle that will pop up only after the next press. One is to take into account that the cabinet doors here open less frequently, and secondly, to ensure that people do not walk around to tug. Study or studio furniture can imitate the practice of office buildings, select simple and square pull. Bathroom cabinet doors are generally not much, suitable to select micro-shaped single-headed round ball type of ceramic or plexiglass handle, its color or material should be similar to the cabinet. Sometimes, seek to have the same shape or curve with the cabinet handle, will make the relationship between the furniture and the handle looks particularly coordinated.

The location of the handle installation is also very delicate. Like a group of large cabinets, the upper pull should be installed in the lower corner of the door, the lower pull should be installed in the upper corner of the door. This is not only to meet the requirements of ergonomic norms, but also for the visual beauty of the form. Now the installation of furniture handles in the market basically meet the requirements, but can often be seen in the people’s living room those on-site production of furniture handles installed on the top, very unattractive.

Due to the different production process, the style of the room door handle is also varied. Usually, the silver stainless steel material handle is suitable for use in office buildings, the family more choice of matte bronze and aluminum alloy process handle. Neutral or light cold mixed oil decorated homes can also choose matte stainless steel brushed door handles, and polished metal handles are more widely used in hotels. Door handles are also made in combination with door locks, all to meet the needs of people’s lives. Generally speaking, the master bedroom and bathroom handles should have the function of door locks, while the secondary bedroom and the walkway can be set at the windproof door locks.

Third, decorative locks

Locks in the home decoration costs account for about 2-3%, although the proportion is small but can not be ignored.

The current market sales of locks by Guangdong products, Wenzhou products, imported products in three parts. Guangdong locks to ball-shaped locks, wood grain locks, security locks, accounting for about 60%; Wenzhou to handle ball locks, full brass handle locks, ordinary locks, accounting for about 20%; imported locks are mostly high-grade handle locks, ball locks.

Handle matching must pay attention to the style, function and place of furniture. Generally speaking, the relationship between the pull handle and the furniture has roughly two processing principles, either eye-catching, or concealed.

 

So, different parts of how to match the handle? The entrance is one of the key decorative parts of the living room, the entrance cabinet handle can emphasize its decorative nature. Generally speaking, the symmetrical decorative door is installed with two luxurious and beautiful pulls, while the shoe cabinet should pick the single-headed type pulls with color and luster close to the plate. These are mainly to use the function of furniture, its pull should have a hidden nature, in order not to prevent the owner to use as appropriate. Food decorative cabinet handle can be adapted to its own more eye-catching tone, the purchase of glossy and contrast with the furniture color double-headed handle. TV cabinet handle can be considered to choose and electrical appliances or TV counter stone color similar, such as black, gray, dark green, sub-gold exposed handle. The reason is that the cabinet doors in these places open less frequently, and then to ensure that people do not walk around to tug. Study or studio furniture can imitate the practice of office buildings, select simple and square pull. Bathroom cabinet door is not much, suitable for picking miniature single-headed round ball type of ceramic or plexiglass handle, its color or material should be similar to the cabinet.

 

The location of the handle installation also has to be careful. For example, a group of large cabinets, the upper handle should be installed in the lower corner of the door, while the lower handle is the opposite, should be installed in the upper corner of the door. This is not only to meet the requirements of ergonomic norms, but also for the visual beauty of the form.

How to choose door handles

Door handles on the building materials market, a wide range of styles are similar, but the price is quite different. A small door handle, the price difference can be dozens, hundreds or even thousands of dollars, in the end where the difference? How to choose a new home to your liking, quality, price and relatively appropriate door handles?

 

When decorating a home, everyone wants to put their money to good use. How to buy a suitable and cost-effective door handles for your new home? In a word, according to local conditions. For example, the household door trivial must be strong, insurance, the best with the Ministry of Public Security certification, while the interior doors pay more attention to beauty, convenience. Bedroom door, living room door is not often closed, and not often locked, you can buy the number of switches to ensure less, generally 100,000 times is enough, 200,000 times is a bit “big material, small use”, and the bathroom door lock, switch and locking frequency is higher, to buy a better quality, the number of switches to ensure a higher number of door handles. In addition, the purchase of door handles can not ignore the health factors. For example, the bathroom is suitable for installation of copper handles. Because although the stainless steel door handle looks clean, but in fact, it will breed thousands of germs, including Gram’s bacteria, E. coli and streptococcus. The germs on brass doorknobs are much less than those on stainless steel doorknobs because copper has the effect of destroying bacteria. Therefore, it is recommended that you should preferably install brass door handles in the bathroom of your home for health benefits.

Merchants recommend door handles to you, are flying, talk a lot, you have to pay attention, it is worth so much money? See if you pay attention to these points: First, high-grade imported door handles have a full set of imported and imported parts of domestic assembly, the price is different, should pay attention to distinguish when buying. Further, if the businessman said it is imported, he should be able to issue a customs declaration. Second, not the more complex construction of the lock is more expensive. Double tongue lock is not necessarily more expensive than the single tongue. Generally speaking, modern door locks, its insurance factor and the complexity of the switch operating procedures have little to do with. Simple operation of the lock is not necessarily uninsurable, and open up a very complex lock is not necessarily secure. A reasonably designed door lock switch operating procedures should be clear at a glance and can be easily operated. Third, pure copper door handles are not necessarily more expensive than stainless steel, depending on the process. Then again, plastic door handles are beautiful and best not to buy, because it is not strong enough, once broken, even the door can not be opened. Fourth, generally at the same price point, Taiwan-made lock than the domestic lock spring flexibility is better. Fifth, the lock made in Zhejiang is generally more material-saving than the lock made in Guangdong, as shown in the lock head and key is thinner, the lock heart is smaller, so the price should be relatively cheap. Sixth, look at the lock not only to see the feel, but also pay attention to whether it has a quality warranty, which should generally be guaranteed for five years.  When you choose a door handle according to the situation at home, but also pay attention to the installation of the door handle is the same as the general, if different, the business will generally be special instructions when you buy, such as a lock is not installed from the front to the back, but from the back to the front of the installation. If you install at home, due to procedural errors that lead to damage to the lock, which does not belong to the quality of the lock, is not covered by the warranty, that is, the business will not be returned.
