AOSITE Hinge Maintenance Guide(Part one)
Generally speaking, the cabinet can be used for 10-15 years, and it can be used for a longer time if it is properly maintained. Among them, the hinge of the core hardware is very important. Taking the AOSITE hinge as an example, the life of opening and closing more than 50,000 times can be used for 20 years. If you pay attention to maintenance, it can still maintain smoothness, quietness, durability and good cushioning effect.
However, during use, cabinet door hinges are often ignored by people, and non-standard use leads to rust or damage to the hinges, which affects the life of the cabinet. So, how do we go about maintenance?
During the use of the cabinet, it will be opened and closed frequently every day, which will not have a great impact on the hinge. However, cleaning with strong acidic and alkaline detergents, such as soda, bleach, sodium hypochlorite, detergent, oxalic acid, and kitchen utensils such as soy sauce, vinegar, and salt, are the culprits that damage the hinge.
The surface of ordinary hinges is treated with electroplating, which has a certain anti-corrosion and anti-rust ability, but the long-term clothing environment will damage the hinges.
