China Hardware Network (http://www.x99.com.cn/) - Three Ways to Identify the Authenticity of Home Hardware
According to reports, home hardware can be divided into two major categories based on installation: ordinary and special. The former includes hinges, door hinges, and slides, while the latter includes bathroom hardware and kitchen accessories. Among these, hinges, slides, door hinges, and locks are used more frequently in daily life, making them particularly important.
However, since most consumers are not experts in this field, it is difficult to distinguish between products merely by appearance and function when faced with a wide variety of hardware products in the market. The quality of hardware products largely depends on the material used. For consumers, identifying the quality of materials indeed poses a significant challenge. Here, we introduce three quick methods for identification:
First, check if the brand is well-known. Maintaining a brand's reputation is more difficult than creating a new one. However, do not easily believe in various "German brands," "Italian brands," or "American brands" circulating in the market. Many new brands without history belong to affiliated products.
Second, weigh the product. This is a last-resort method. For products of the same specification, if the weight is relatively heavy, it at least indicates that the material used by the manufacturer is relatively solid.
Third, examine the details. Details determine quality. Pay attention to the details of hardware products, such as whether the reset spring of cabinet door hinges uses ordinary grease or silicone oil? Whether the bearings of door hinges use molybdenum-containing lubricating grease? For Baroque-style door lock handles, besides the surface, have the inner spirals been polished? Is the paint film surface of the drawer slide smooth? From these small details, you can see whether the product is of high quality, thereby confirming the outstanding quality of home items.
