Whether the wooden door switch is convenient is closely related to the hinge_Industry News

When it comes to purchasing wooden doors, hinges are often overlooked. However, hinges are actually crucial components for the proper functioning of wooden doors. The convenience of using a set of wooden door switches depends mainly on the quality of the hinges used.

There are generally two types of hinges for household wooden doors: flat hinges and letter hinges. For wooden doors, flat hinges are more important. It is recommended to choose a flat hinge with a ball bearing (small knot in the middle of the shaft) as it helps reduce friction at the joint of the two hinges. This ensures that the wooden door opens smoothly without squeaking or rattling. It is not advisable to choose "children and mothers" hinges for wooden doors as they are relatively weak and designed for use on light doors such as PVC doors. Furthermore, they reduce the number of steps required to make grooves in the door.

When it comes to hinge material and appearance, stainless steel, copper, and stainless iron/iron are commonly used. For household use, it is recommended to opt for 304# stainless steel as it ensures the longevity of the door. It is not advisable to choose cheaper options such as 202# "immortal iron" as they rust easily. Finding someone to replace the hinge can be expensive and troublesome. It is also important to use matching stainless steel screws for the hinges, as other screws may not be suitable. Pure copper hinges are suitable for luxurious original wooden doors but may not be suitable for general household use due to their high price.

In terms of specifications and quantity, the hinge specification refers to the size of length x width x thickness after the hinge is opened. The length and width are typically measured in inches, while the thickness is measured in millimeters. For household wooden doors, hinges that are 4" or 100mm long are generally suitable. The width of the hinge should be based on the thickness of the door, and a door with a thickness of 40mm should be equipped with a 3" or 75mm wide hinge. The thickness of the hinge should be chosen based on the weight of the door, with lighter doors requiring a 2.5mm thick hinge and solid doors requiring a 3mm thick hinge.

It is important to note that while the length and width of hinges may not be standardized, the thickness of the hinge is crucial. It should be thick enough (>3mm) to ensure the strength and quality of the hinge. It is recommended to measure the hinge thickness with a caliper. Light doors can use two hinges, while heavy wooden doors should have three hinges to maintain stability and reduce deformation.

The installation of hinges on wooden doors usually involves using two hinges. However, it is easy to install three hinges, with one hinge in the middle and one on the top. This German-style installation provides stability and allows the door frame to better support the door leaf. Another option is an American-style installation, which involves evenly distributing the hinges for a more aesthetically pleasing look. This method also helps to restrict door deformation.
