Door hardware has a very important place in modern, functionally complex building projects. First and foremost are the door hinges of the door system.
Now let's talk about what you should pay attention to in the process of installing the hinges.
1. A brief understanding of the structure of the hinge
The most popular product on the market is the stainless steel hinge. Ordinary stainless steel hinges use silent ball bearings, which can reduce the friction between the two hinge joints and are noiseless; they can extend the life of stainless steel hinges
The gap distance between the door and the hinges should be mastered.
If the gap between the door and the hinge is not mastered, the appearance will be unsightly and opening will be difficult. The expansion gap of the door is to make it easy to open and close, and the normal gap is 3 to 5 mm.

There are also special pages for different scenarios.
For example, spring hinges for self-closing doors for easy installation and removal. Security hinges and high-grade concealed hinges for escape exits, external doors of residential buildings, etc.
Regardless of the type of hinge, its function is to connect the door frame to the door sash and to bear the weight of the door without allowing it to sag. It allows the door to turn freely with minimum frictional resistance. Safeguarding the function of the door will last a long time.
2. Getting the door to work properly - Pay attention to the position and number of hinges when installing
Improper installation of the hinges will cause the gap above the door to gradually increase and the gap below to gradually decrease, leading to difficulties in opening and closing the door, or even falling off.
The greater the distance between the two hinges on the door and the thicker the hinge, the greater the load-bearing capacity. However, the actual situation must not be forgotten. When the door is heavy, we should consider whether to install additional hinges. When installing hinges, they should not be installed at the corners of the door fan body. The best position is one tenth of the door fan body. To avoid tilting of the door, two should be installed on top and one on the bottom.
Also, the relevant fittings should match. A mismatch between the specification of the hinge slot and the hinge or the screws attached to it during installation can also cause the door to fall off. Therefore, before installing the hinges, it should be clear what environment the door is installed in and which material the door is made of, before matching the corresponding screws.
The role of screws in home decoration materials, no matter how big or small, should not be taken lightly.
Finally, to avoid warping of the door, care should be taken that the axes of the hinges on the same door are on the same vertical line.
