Door locks: The locks used on wooden doors are preferably silent locks. The heavier the lock, the thicker the material and the more wear-resistant. On the contrary, the material is thin and easily damaged. Secondly, look at the surface finish of the lock, whether it is fine and smooth without spots. Open it repeatedly to see the sensitivity of the lock cylinder spring.
Lock cylinder: When the rotation is not flexible enough, scrape a small amount of black powder from the pencil lead and blow lightly into the lock hole. This is because the graphite component in it is a good solid lubricant. Avoid dripping lubricating oil, as this will make it easier for dust to adhere.
Floor spring used for ordinary doors: The floor spring of the door should be stainless steel or copper. Before it is officially used after installation, the opening and closing speed of the front and rear, left and right should be adjusted for ease of use.
As for hinges, hanging wheels, and casters: moving parts may degrade performance due to the adhesion of dust during long-term movement, so use one or two drops of lubricating oil every six months or so to keep them smooth.
Sink hardware: faucets and sinks are also kitchen hardware, and their maintenance is also essential. For stainless steel sinks used in most households, the oil stains in the sink should be removed with detergent or soapy water when cleaning, and then cleaned with a soft towel to avoid leaving grease, but steel balls should not be used. , chemical agents, steel brush cleaning, will wear off the stainless steel paint, and will corrode the sink.

Traditional architectural hardware mainly uses metals as raw materials, such as ordinary carbon steel cold-rolled steel strips, cold-drawn low-carbon steel wires, various specifications of copper, aluminum, light metal alloys, and malleable cast iron.
Surface treatment materials include copper, nickel, chromium, silver, etc.
In recent years, hardware made of various non-metallic materials has been developed, such as ceramics, glass, rubber, plastics, etc.
Especially various plastic hardware using polyamide, polypropylene and other engineering plastics, such as bathroom hardware and plumbing hardware.
These plastic products not only have high quality, beautiful shape and color, good decorative effect, but also high production efficiency, low cost, and can save a lot of non-ferrous metals, and their applications have become increasingly widespread.
Process Generally, products with sheet metal as the main raw material adopt stamping process.
Some adopt the casting process, and then the blank is cut.
The finished products are generally assembled after surface treatment.
Small hardware products made of plastic are extruded, injected, blow-molded and finished with finishing or surface treatment.
Performance The performance of architectural hardware must ensure accurate dimensions, precise parts and components, and the appearance and surface must be bright and uniform.
In addition, various products have control indicators according to their functions.
Architectural hardware is an important spare part of the internal structure and various facilities of industrial and civil buildings. It not only needs to have functional functions, but also increasingly requires decorative effects and a certain level of art to adapt to the development of modern construction industry.

develop
In recent years, my country's hardware industry has developed steadily at an annual growth rate of 15%, with an annual output value of 180 billion yuan and exports of 8 billion US dollars, ranking among the top three in light industry.
The global annual trade volume of the hardware industry reaches 600 billion US dollars.
For our country, this is a market with huge export potential.
But in the world's big market, the market share of my country's hardware products is limited, the fundamental reason is that the technical content is low.
Due to the backward technology and craftsmanship of most domestic brands, high-end products still need to be imported in large quantities.

Three, bathroom angle valve selection
Angle valve is also called triangle valve and angle valve. This is because the pipe forms an angled corner shape at the angle valve, so it is called angle valve. The role of the angle valve is mainly to connect the internal and external water outlets. In addition, the water pressure is too high When it is large, it can be adjusted on the triangular valve. At the same time, if the faucet leaks and other phenomena occur, the triangular valve may be turned off instead of the main valve at home.

The floor drains on the market are mainly divided into three types: stainless steel floor drains, PVC floor drains and all-copper floor drains. Among them, the all-copper floor drains occupy a large market share because of their excellent performance; the stainless steel floor drains are beautiful in appearance, but the cost is high and the coating is thin. , so it is inevitable to rust; while the PVC floor drain is cheap and has a good deodorizing effect, but the material is too brittle and easy to age. At present, the most copper-plated chrome-plated floor drain on the market has a thick coating. good cleaning.
Part4: Long life depends on daily maintenance of bathroom hardware accessories
Bathroom hardware accessories have been exposed to hot flashes for a long time. At the same time, the most contact with them during use is the weakly alkaline sweat from the human body. Therefore, no matter how high-quality products are, if they are not properly maintained, they will also shrink. The service life of the product itself. Let's see how to maintain it.

What are the hardware and building materials?
Hardware and building materials refer to the tools, equipment, and construction supplies used in building and renovation projects. This can include items such as hammers, nails, screws, power drills, lumber, concrete, and more. These materials and hardware are essential for a wide range of construction and home improvement projects.
What is Whole House Custom Hardware?
Custom-made hardware plays a crucial role in the overall functioning and comfort of a home. Despite accounting for only 5% of the furniture's total cost, it carries 85% of the operating comfort. This means that investing in good quality hardware is a cost-effective decision.
Whole house custom hardware can be broadly categorized into two types: basic hardware, which is used in every household, and functional hardware, designed to fulfill specific storage needs. Some of the common brands in the market include DTC, Hettich, BLUM, higold, Nomi, and Higold.
When selecting custom hardware for your whole house, there are certain factors to consider. Due to the influx of brands in the market, it is vital to ensure the quality and reliability of the hardware you choose.
In terms of basic hardware, hinges and slide rails are essential components. There are three common types of hinges: full-covered straight bends, half-covered middle bends, and built-in large bends. The choice of hinge depends on specific usage and design requirements. While all the hinge types have their advantages, the half-covered middle bend is most commonly used and easily available for future replacements.
Drawer tracks are an integral part of basic hardware. The most common type is the ball-type three-section rail, which is recommended for its simplicity, scientific design, and smooth functionality. There are also hidden bottom rails and riding slides available, although they are less commonly used and usually more expensive.
The sliding door tracks' quality primarily depends on the standard and thickness of the track material. However, it is advisable to opt for swing doors instead of sliding doors, as swing doors offer greater practicality and a more stylish look.
Guide wheels, including hanging wheels and pulleys, play a crucial role in the smooth operation and durability of cabinet doors. The material of the wheel determines its wear resistance and smoothness. Among the options of plastic, metal, and glass fiber, glass fiber is recommended for its superior wear resistance and smoothness.
When it comes to supporting hardware, there are gas struts and hydraulic rods. While both have the same functionality, the process structure differs. Pneumatic struts are more commonly available and affordable, making them preferable over hydraulic rods.
When selecting custom hardware for your whole house, it is important to be cautious of additional charges. Basic hardware is usually included in the projected area's unit price, but it's advisable to clarify the brand, model, and installation quantity during negotiation to avoid added expenses later on. Functional hardware, on the other hand, is generally not included in the unit price and should be specified in the contract to avoid potential traps or poor quality substitutes.
AOSITE Hardware is a leading brand dedicated to offering the best hardware products and services to its customers. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, AOSITE Hardware continuously strives for technical innovation, efficient management, and improved production techniques.
In conclusion, choosing the right custom hardware for your whole house is essential for ensuring comfort and functionality.

Remember to clarify all details and specifications before signing any contracts to avoid unnecessary expenses or compromises in quality.
Welcome to the ultimate guide for all things {blog_title}! Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this blog post has everything you need to know about {topic}. Get ready to dive deep into tips, tricks, and insider secrets that will take your {blog_title} game to the next level. So sit back, relax, and let's embark on this exciting journey together!
When it comes to purchasing wooden doors, there is often a lack of attention given to hinges. However, hinges play a crucial role in the functionality and convenience of wooden doors. The type and quality of hinges determines how smoothly the door opens and whether it squeaks or not.
There are two main types of hinges for household wooden doors: flat hinges and letter hinges. For wooden doors, the emphasis is on flat hinges. It is recommended to choose a flat hinge with a ball bearing in the middle of the shaft. This reduces friction at the joint of the two hinges, ensuring a smooth and silent opening of the door. It is not advisable to choose "children and mothers" hinges for wooden doors, as they are designed for lighter doors like PVC doors and can compromise the structural integrity of wooden doors.
When it comes to the material and appearance of hinges, stainless steel, copper, and stainless iron/iron are commonly used. For household use, it is recommended to opt for 304# stainless steel hinges, as they are durable and resistant to rust. It is best to avoid inexpensive options like 202# "immortal iron" hinges, as they tend to rust and require expensive and troublesome replacements. Additionally, it is important to use matching stainless steel screws for the hinges, as other screws may not provide the same level of durability. Pure copper hinges are suitable for luxurious original wooden doors, although they may not be cost-effective for general household use.
The current electroplating technology allows for various colors and appearances for stainless steel hinges, making them compatible with different styles of wooden doors. The brushed appearance is particularly recommended for its environmental friendliness and the reduction of pollution associated with electroplating.
When it comes to the specification and quantity of hinges, the length, width, and thickness are important factors to consider. The specification of hinges is typically measured in inches for length and width, and in millimeters for thickness. Household wooden doors usually require a 4" or 100mm long hinge, with the width determined by the door's thickness. For a door with a thickness of 40mm, a 3" or 75mm wide hinge is recommended. The thickness of the hinge should be based on the weight of the door, with lighter doors requiring a 2.5mm thick hinge and solid doors requiring a 3mm thick hinge.
The length and width of hinges may not always be standardized, but the thickness is the most critical factor. It is advisable to measure the thickness of the hinge with a caliper to ensure its strength and quality. The thickness also indicates whether the hinge is of high-grade stainless steel.
The number of hinges to install depends on the weight and stability of the wooden door. Light doors can typically be supported by two hinges, while heavier wooden doors may require three hinges for added stability and to prevent deformation of the door.
The installation of hinges can follow different styles, such as the German style or the average score American style. The German style involves installing hinges in the middle and on the top, providing stability and better force distribution on the door. The American style suggests installing hinges evenly, enhancing aesthetics and minimizing the impact of door deformation.
In conclusion, hinges play a crucial role in the functionality and longevity of wooden doors. It is important to pay attention to the type, material, appearance, specification, and installation of hinges when purchasing wooden doors. AOSITE Hardware is a leading manufacturer dedicated to providing high-quality hinges and excellent service to customers. Their products are innovative, environmentally friendly, and durable, making them a reliable choice for those in need of hinges for wooden doors.
