1. Hinges: It is the most important hardware accessories for cabinets. According to statistics, the cabinet door has to be opened and closed 100,000 times in 10 years! Therefore, the quality of the hinge is very important for the normal opening and closing of the cabinet door. There are two goals to measure the quality of the hinge, one is the structural strength, and the standard is whether it can be opened and closed 100,000 times under a door load of 75 pounds. The other is surface corrosion resistance. The goal is to achieve corrosion resistance for 48 hours after salt spray. Damping hinges are more commonly used equipment now, and can be seen in the quotations of many cabinet manufacturers.
2. Slide rails: The importance of drawer slides in cabinets is second only to hinges, and they are mainly used in drawers and pulleys. There are mainly three types of slide rails used for cabinets: general bottom type, metal side plate type and luxury all-inclusive type. The differences in appearance, function and price of the three are extremely significant. Generally, the bottom-supporting slide rail is simple in structure and low in price. The drawer side panel needs to be made of wooden board, and the drawer width should not exceed 600mm during manufacture. The structure of the metal side plate type slide rail is similar to the former, because its own structure has steel plates on both sides of the drawer. The appearance is more refined. It is more robust and durable than the former, and the price is moderate. Luxury all-inclusive drawer slides with built-in safety pulleys. Very low noise when sliding, and the drawer has a large load. The heavier it is, the more slippery it is. The out-of-the-box design makes the items stored in the drawer clear at a glance. It is convenient for direct access.
3. Damping: The primary purpose of the design of damping products is to reduce the impact force of the door panel and the cabinet, extend the service life of the door panel, reduce the noise during kitchen operation, and create a quiet and comfortable indoor environment. There are three ways to achieve damping: First, hydraulic damping. The representative product of this structure is the EKA damping door closer imported from Italy, which will leak oil after a period of use, and lose its damping effect after a period of time. Most domestic cabinet providers that focus on quality have not adopted them. The second is the silicone oil matrix. Its representative product is BLUM's luxurious state damping drawer. Its damping is stable, and the damping effect will be realized intelligently according to the strength of the operation, but there is no closed-door presentation of this principle on the market. The third is air pressure damping. The representative product of this method is Hettich's damping drawer. When the force is slightly larger, the drawer will lose its damping effect, and improper use will cause damage to the cylinder and completely lose the damping effect. The fourth is mechanical spring-type damping. Door closers and drawers have damping using this method. This method is stable and has no aging, and the quality is trustworthy. Its representative product is Hettich's damping door closer.
4. Air support: cabinet air support is divided into upturn type, translation uplift type, vertical translation uplift type, folding upturn type, etc. according to the form of upturning; according to the weight of the supporting door, it is divided into general type, heavy support type. The general types of supports currently used in the market include pneumatic supports and damped pneumatic supports. The supporting force of a single air pressure supporter is 80 Newtons, the width of the cabinet door panel is <= 600mm, and the door panel with height <= 400mm is supported by one; Heavy support. The supported providers are SUSPA in Germany, HUWLL in Italy, etc. Their products have been tested in the market for a long time and are trustworthy.

5. Hanging code: The accessories used in the cabinet installation and hanging cabinet have undergone three generations of improvement because they directly affect the safety function of the product. The previous generation of exposed ABS engineering plastic hanging code is fixed by self-tapping screws and side panels. , it affects the appearance of the hanging cabinet, the load-bearing function is poor, and most cabinet providers have been eliminated; the second generation is a hidden steel hanging code, the main feature is that the device is hidden between the back panel and the wall of the hanging cabinet, which does not affect the hanging The appearance of the cabinet, the load-bearing function has been improved, and the single support weight is 65KG; the third-generation steel hidden hanging code, on the basis of the second-generation product, has undergone technological transformation in the connection and fixation with the solid side plate and the hanging piece device , and strengthened treatment in the stressed parts, the weight of a single support is 70KG; the main brands are German Hettich, CAMAR, Spanish INDEX and so on.
6. Adjusting feet: There are two kinds of adjusting feet: PVC and ABS. PVC is low cost. Often made of recycled plastic. Poor load-bearing function. The adjustment feet made of ABS engineering plastics are strong and durable. The load-bearing function is good. It can more effectively support the weight of the whole cabinet.
7. Skirting board: Skirting board is divided into three types: wooden skirting board, PVC skirting board and aluminum skirting board. Some manufacturers use the waste from the corners of the cabinet to make wooden skirting boards to reduce costs. However, because the skirting boards are very close to the ground, the wooden materials are easy to absorb water and become damp. After a period of use, the wooden skirting boards will "fat" and rot. Both the PVC footboard and the aluminum skirting board are recognized by experts, not only waterproof and moisture-proof, not moldy, not rusted, but also beautiful and durable. Special aluminum skirting boards are almost lifelong without breakage (the price of skirting boards should be included in the overall cabinet).
