See: Good quality before the hinge cover and base are solid and forging fine, smooth and burr-free, high strength. The difference hinge rough forging, forging Mianbao poor strength.

掂: For products of the same specifications, if the quality is relatively heavy, the product density is high, the materials selected by the producer are relatively hard, and the quality is relatively guaranteed.

The details show whether the product is good or not, to confirm whether the quality is outstanding. The quality of the hardware used in the wardrobe hardware is thick and the surface is smooth, and even the design has achieved a silent effect. Inferior hardware is usually made of cheap metal such as thin iron, and the door is stretched and even raspy.

Experience the Feel of the Hinge
