Whether the wooden door switch is convenient is closely related to the hinge_Industry News 2

When purchasing wooden doors, it is common for people to overlook the importance of hinges. However, hinges are actually crucial components that determine the functionality of wooden doors. The convenience of using a set of wooden door hinges largely depends on their quality.

There are generally two types of hinges for household wooden doors: flat hinges and letter hinges. For wooden doors, flat hinges are under greater stress. It is recommended to choose flat hinges with ball bearings, as they reduce friction and ensure smooth and quiet door opening without any squeaking or rattling. "Children and mothers" hinges are not recommended for wooden doors, as they are relatively weak and designed for lighter doors like PVC doors.

When it comes to hinge material and appearance, stainless steel, copper, and stainless iron/iron are commonly used. It is advisable to use 304# stainless steel hinges for long-lasting durability. Cheaper options like 202# "immortal iron" should be avoided as they tend to rust easily and may require expensive and troublesome replacements. It is important to use matching stainless steel screws for the hinges to ensure proper functionality. Pure copper hinges are suitable for luxurious original wooden doors but may not be cost-effective for general household use.

With advanced electroplating technology, stainless steel hinges can now be found in various colors and appearances, allowing them to be matched with different styles of wooden doors. Brushed appearance is recommended for its elegance and environmental friendliness, considering the pollution caused by traditional electroplating processes.

When selecting hinges, the specifications and quantity also need to be considered. Hinge specifications refer to the size of length x width x thickness when the hinge is opened. The length and width are typically calculated in inches, while the thickness is measured in millimeters. Generally, a 4" (or 100mm) long hinge is chosen for household wooden doors, and the width depends on the door thickness. For a 40mm thick door, a 3" (or 75mm) wide hinge is suitable. The thickness should be chosen based on the weight of the door, with a 2.5mm hinge for lighter hollow doors and a 3mm hinge for solid doors.

It is important to note that hinge sizes on the market may not always be standardized, but the thickness of the hinge is the most critical factor. It should be thick enough (preferably >3mm) to ensure strength and indicate higher-grade and truly stainless steel hinges. Light doors typically require two hinges, while heavier wooden doors should be equipped with three hinges to maintain stability and minimize deformation.

As for hinge installation, it is necessary to use at least two hinges on a wooden door. Three hinges can be installed for better stability, with one hinge in the middle and the other two on the top and bottom. This German-style installation provides a strong and well-distributed force, ensuring the door frame can withstand pressure on the door leaf. Alternatively, the hinges can be installed evenly throughout the door for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, which is known as the American style. This method also provides a restrictive effect that helps prevent door deformations.

AOSITE Hardware is highly regarded for its management system and product quality. They utilize advanced equipment and process hinges meticulously, resulting in products with even thickness, smooth surfaces, high quality, precise dimensions, compact structures, good sealing, and wide applications.
