Hardware is a very important part of modern furniture, not to mention small, but it can determine the function and service life of furniture in a certain degree. There is a huge difference in the prices of imported hardware accessories and domestic hardware accessories on the market, and there is a certain gap in their use.
Then, how do consumers, as non-professionals, safeguard their own interests? Experts suggest that consumers can use the following three methods to determine whether the hardware is truly "imported". (in the case of hinges ~)
First, the imported hinges are exquisite because of the use of materials. The general weight is 20% to 30% heavier than the domestic ones, and the surface plating is delicate and smooth. In addition, the edges of the imported hinge springs are treated with a smooth finish, and high-quality hinges are also specifically equipped with nylon protection devices. However, the edges of many domestically produced spring hinges are not polished and have burrs.
Second, the imported hinge spring lube oil part uses the yellowish or milky white top lube oil, which has a very long service life; while the domestically used lubricious oil lubricated with dark yellow or pure white oil, the oil is easy to dry. In the hot days, the viscosity of the lubricant is very low. After taking the hinge, you can feel the oil
Third, the opening and closing of imported hinges is relatively light, domestically produced hinges are generally harder, and the adjusting screws of the two imported hinges are closely matched. The first time only the screwdriver is used for screwing, and many home-made hinge adjustment screws are not tight enough. The hand can turn.
