Why is there such a big gap in prices for damping hinges? Can cheap damping hinges be used?_Company 2

When it comes to closing doors, there are two types of hinges: the ordinary hinge and the damped hinge. The ordinary hinge simply snaps shut when closing, while the damped hinge closes slowly and smoothly, reducing the impact force and creating a more comfortable experience. Because of this, many furniture manufacturers now offer upgraded damped hinges or use them as a selling point for promotion.

When customers purchase cabinets or furniture, they can easily tell if there is a damped hinge by manually pushing and pulling the door. However, the true test of a damped hinge is when the door is being closed. If it closes with a loud bang, then it is not a true damped hinge. It is important to note that damped hinges vary greatly in working principle and price.

There are different types of damping hinges available in the market. The most common type is the external damper hinge, which is simply an ordinary hinge with an added external damper. This damper is usually pneumatic or spring buffered. While this method of damping is cost-effective, the service life is not very long. After a year or two of use, the damping effect will wear off. This is because mechanical buffering, when used for a long time, causes metal fatigue and loses its effectiveness.

With the increasing demand for damping hinges, more and more manufacturers are producing them. However, the quality and cost-effectiveness of buffer hydraulic hinges can vary greatly. Lower quality hinges are prone to problems such as leaking oil or bursting hydraulic cylinders. After a year or two of use, these poor quality hinges will no longer provide the hydraulic function they initially promised.
