Maintenance tips for stainless steel hinges

Stainless steel hinges are an important component of cabinets and other furniture. The flexibility of daily opening and closing is inseparable from the good condition maintenance of these structural parts, so this requires us to do the daily maintenance of stainless steel hinges. The maintenance tips for stainless steel hinges we introduce to you today are as follows:

First: When wiping the stainless steel hinge, we should try to wipe it with a soft cloth as much as possible. Do not use chemical cleaning agents, etc., to avoid corrosion of the stainless steel hinge.

Second: In order to keep the hinges smooth, we need to regularly add a small amount of lubricant to the hinges. Add it every 3 months. Lubricating oil has the functions of sealing, anticorrosion, rust prevention, insulation, cleaning impurities, etc. If some friction parts of the stainless steel hinge are not properly lubricated, dry friction will occur. Practice has proved that the heat generated by dry friction in a short time is sufficient to melt the metal. Give good lubrication to the friction part. When the lubricating oil flows to the friction part, it will adhere to the friction surface to form a layer of oil film. The strength and toughness of the oil film is the key to exert its lubrication effect.

But be aware that while we rely on the cleaning and rust-preventive effect of lubricants, the impurities that lubricating grease enters during the use process are mainly the dust that the abraded metal particles fall into. These impurities, in addition to abrasion of metal parts, also promote the chemical deterioration of lubricating grease. This will accelerate the corrosion of stainless steel hinges, so regular oil changes and regular oil changes are needed.

Once again: When opening and closing hinged furniture, such as cabinet doors, open lightly and easily. Do not use excessive force to avoid damaging the hinge.
