How to choose custom hardware accessories for the whole house

  Dear homeowners, as a manager who has been working in the whole-house customization industry for many years, today I’m going to tell you about the hardware accessories in whole-house customization, which is directly related to the service life and user experience of the cabinet!

  How to choose good hardware accessories for whole house customization depends on the brand: give priority to well-known brands, such as Higold, Hettich, Blum, etc. The hardware of big brands is more guaranteed in craftsmanship and quality, and has been tested in the market for a long time and has a good reputation.

Check the material:

  High-quality hardware is mostly made of stainless steel or cold-rolled steel, which is durable and not easy to rust. For example, stainless steel 304 has good rust resistance and is suitable for cabinets in high humidity environments such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Feel:

  Good hardware accessories open and close smoothly without any lag. For example, drawer slides can be opened and closed smoothly with a light push, and the door hinge switch can be closed easily and quietly, and has a certain buffering effect without banging.

Essential and non-essential hardware accessories list Required:

①Hinges: The cabinet door is opened and closed entirely by hinges. Choose adjustable hinges to facilitate the adjustment of the cabinet door position during installation. They should also be able to withstand multiple openings and closings without deformation. Generally, a cabinet door is equipped with 2-3 hinges.

②Drawer slides: If there are drawers in the cabinets at home, the quality of the slides is critical. Three-section rails are smoother to pull out than two-section rails. If conditions permit, you can directly use the bottom rails, which have better load-bearing capacity and can allow the drawer to be fully pulled out, making it easier to take things out.

③Handles: Not only are they practical, but they can also serve as decorations. It is important to choose handles that match the style of your home.

Not required:

(1) Pull-out baskets: In kitchen cabinets, if you have good storage habits, you can use storage boxes to meet your needs. Pull-out baskets are relatively expensive and take up some space.

(2) Pants racks: If the wardrobe space is tight, pants racks may not be necessary. Ordinary hangers can also be used to hang pants to achieve storage functions.

Hardware accessories price reference:

<1>High-end: high-end series such as Hettich Blum Hihamgo and other good brands, the hinge price may be 30 - 50 yuan / piece, drawer slide rail 100 - 200 yuan / set, a good bottom rail is basically between 350 and 500, this kind of hardware has excellent quality, exquisite design, advanced functions, such as damping buffer, quick release and other functions, suitable for the pursuit of high quality and sufficient budget families.
