What are the Features and Applications of Cabinet Hardware?


Cabinets, as storage containers in households, combine storage functionality, aesthetics, and display effect. As we all know, cabinets consist of two main parts: the board material that makes up the cabinet body and the corresponding hardware products. Today, we will talk about cabinet hardware accessories in the following aspects.


1. Definition of Cabinet Hardware Fitting


Hardware products refer to various metal devices made of iron, steel, aluminum and other metals through physical processing such as forging, rolling, cutting, etc. Cabinet hardware is a very broad term, including wheels, hinges, handles, connectors, baskets, tracks, slides, support rods, kickboards, sealing strips, hanging cabinet fittings, functional hardware, and even decorative ironwork used in cabinet furniture. As long as it is a metal product applied in cabinet furniture, it can be regarded as cabinet hardware.


The composition of cabinet hardware is mainly divided into two categories: basic hardware and functional hardware. Basic hardware mainly refers to the essential hardware parts required for making cabinets, such as hinges, connectors, corner braces, hangers, drawer slides, rebounders, handles, etc. Functional furniture hardware mainly refers to functional objects of cabinets, such as clothes toss (clothes hanger), pants racks, folding mirrors, clothing baskets, storage boxes, etc.


2. Functional Characteristics of Cabinet Hardware Fitting


1. Expansion and contraction function


The expansion and contraction function is to horizontally push and pull or vertically lift the component attached to a certain function, to solve the problem of inconvenient retrieval of objects at high places.


2. Folding function


The folding function refers to the ability of an individual or some parts to fold left and right or up and down. Folding when not in use and unfolding when in use, it can be changed at any time, commonly used to solve the problem of small space in the room.


3. Moving function


The moving function of furniture hardware is generally to install wheels at the bottom of the cabinet body, allowing small but structurally stable cabinet furniture to move around. It is usually used as a small storage cabinet for small items, such as a small wardrobe, mobile office cabinet, etc.


4. Rotating function


The rotating function refers to the overall rotation of the cabinet or a part of it around an axis, enabling all parts of the furniture to be fully displayed, thus improving the utilization and convenience of furniture space.


3. "Magic" Application of Cabinet Hardware Fitting


1. Top and bottom hinge


Mainly used for glass cabinet doors, it is the "beautification expert" of glass doors. As normal hinges cannot be installed at the door leaf position of glass doors, the top and bottom hinge furniture hardware are installed at the upper and lower ends of the glass door to realize the opening and closing of the glass door.


2. Push-pull and stretch hanging clothes rack


Mainly used in limited-space wardrobe design, it is the "blessing artifact" of small and shallow wardrobes. Due to space restrictions and the desire to create clothing storage space, push-pull and stretch-hanging clothes rack can be used.


3. Top-mounted rotating clothes hanger


Mainly used in cloakrooms and corner cabinet designs, it is the "smart utilization" of corner cabinets, which can effectively solve the storage function of corner spaces.


4. Lifting hanging clothes rack


Mainly used in higher parts of cloakrooms and wardrobes, it is the "clothes-hanging artifact" that both adults and children can use, as the height above the wardrobe is too high to take clothes, and usually requires a ladder or stool assistance, the lifting hanging clothes rack can solve this problem very well.


5. Support rod hinge


Mainly used in upper flip-door designs of cabinet furniture, it is the "convenient artifact" for opening and closing higher cabinet doors. As opening and closing cabinet doors at high places is inconvenient due to height restrictions, the support rod hinge furniture hardware can well solve the problem of inconvenient retrieval, and allowing cabinet doors any stop is in line with the goal of humanized design.
