The demand for hinges is large, beware of some unscrupulous merchants mixing into the market with sh1

Over the past two decades, the Chinese furniture hardware hinge industry has undergone a remarkable transformation, transitioning from handicraft production to large-scale manufacturing. Originally composed of alloy and plastic hinges, the industry has now advanced to producing pure alloy hinges. However, with heightened competition, some unscrupulous hinge manufacturers have resorted to using low-quality recycled zinc alloy, resulting in brittle and breakable hinges. As a result, iron hinges have flooded the market, although they fail to meet the demands for waterproof and rust-proof properties.

This deficiency becomes especially pronounced in high-end bathroom cabinets, kitchen cabinets, and laboratory furniture, where ordinary iron hinges are unacceptable. Even the introduction of buffer hydraulic hinges did not fully resolve the issue of rusting. In fact, back in 2007, stainless steel hydraulic hinges were in high demand, but the required quantities were too small to justify the cost of manufacturing molds. Consequently, manufacturers faced challenges in producing stainless steel hydraulic hinges. However, the situation changed after 2009 when the need for these hinges surged. In recent years, stainless steel hydraulic hinges have become a staple in high-end furniture, with the introduction of 105-degree and 165-degree variations that cater to waterproof and rust-proof requirements.

Nonetheless, the weight of stainless steel hydraulic hinges has become a concern, reminiscent of the fate of zinc alloy hinges in the early 2000s. It is crucial for hinge manufacturers and users to pay attention to the materials used, as an increasing number of manufacturers attempt to cut corners to stay competitive. By sacrificing quality and inspections, the industry risks replicating the decline experienced by the zinc alloy hinge sector. Given the nature of stainless steel, careful control during production is essential to prevent cracking, in addition to utilizing reliable stainless steel screws that allow for secure locking and adjustment in the market.

China has emerged as a leading producer and consumer, offering immense development opportunities for Chinese furniture cabinet hardware products in the global market. In order to capitalize on these prospects, furniture hardware hinge companies must focus on forging closer relationships with end customers and supplying them with high-end stainless steel hydraulic hinges. This commitment will ensure the creation of valuable high-end products for users. As the market becomes increasingly competitive and product homogeneity intensifies, it becomes imperative to enhance the value of products and collaborate with the furniture manufacturing industry to move towards high-end manufacturing.

The future of furniture hardware hinges lies in their progression towards intelligence and humanization. In this regard, Chinese manufacturing should exemplify its commitment to good quality products. With "Made in China" goods, let us prove the industry's dedication to excellence.
