Hardware costs about 3%-5% of home improvement costs, although the proportion is small, but can not be ignored. Hardware is divided into general hardware and special hardware according to the function. Ordinary hardware is divided into locks, hinges, slide rails, handles, hanging wheels, nails, plate supports, door stoppers, clothes hooks, ball bumps, touch cards, and plate pins according to the setting method.

1 household door lock: It plays the role of insurance safety, so it is also called insurance lock or anti-theft lock.

2 bedroom lock: lock inside the insurance, outside must be opened with a key, suitable for bedroom and balcony doors

Consumers should choose the copper core, but it should be noted that some of the cores are plastic, only a layer of copper "copper core" is wrapped in the core. The copper-plated nickel and iron-plated nickel have almost the same appearance, but the price varies greatly. Generally, the copper is silent, the iron is not muted, and the copper is fine and the work is rough. When the ball type is installed, if the eccentric core is not installed, it is easy to cause problems during use. Now there is a kind of backhand, the handle is gently lifted, it can be trivial, very convenient, but it is easy to put the key in the house.

Now, the fastest selling is the lock, the ball lock is out of date, and generally not used. Relatively speaking, when turning the trivial, the smaller the sound, the better, the handle turns a little, the trivial should follow up a little. In terms of the shape of the key, the "pit" key is more secure than the "tooth" key, but the "pit" key must be lost to the original factory. The more the square tongues are, the better the safety.

All stainless steel handles and stainless steel handles look similar and can be tried with magnets. The handle must pay attention to the style, function and place of the furniture when it is selected. Generally speaking, the relationship between the handle and the furniture has two principles, either eye-catching or concealed.

The spring (pipe) hinge has a full cover, a half cover, and no cover, and is used for three different connection modes of the door and the cabinet. The choice of spring hinges is mainly for the brand. The springs of the small brand hinges are mostly prone to aging and fatigue, causing the cabinet door to sag.
