【SANXING·SLIDE】：The whole cabinet hardware accessories are very important to choose the tips of the sliding rail

If the hinge is the heart of the cabinet, then the slide is the kidney. Whether large and small drawers can be pushed and pulled freely and smoothly, as well as the load-bearing capacity, depends on the support of the slide rails. Judging from the current technology, the bottom slide rail is better than the side slide rail, and the overall connection with the drawer is better than the three-point connection. The materials, principles, structures, and craftsmanship of the drawer slides are very different. The high-quality slides have low resistance, long life, and smooth drawers. Here are a few simple ways to distinguish the quality of drawer slides:

The whole cabinet hardware fittings are very important tips for choosing sliding rails

1. Weight-bearing capacity

The quality of the slide rail directly affects the load-bearing capacity of the drawer. You can check the load-bearing capacity of the drawer yourself by the following methods: fully pull the drawer out, press the outer edge of the front of the drawer with your hand, and observe the forward inclination of the drawer from the side. The smaller the forward inclination, the stronger the load-bearing capacity of the drawer.

2, internal structure

Inside the slide rail is its bearing structure, which is directly related to its load-bearing capacity. At present, there are both steel ball slides and silicon wheel slides on the market. The steel ball slide rail automatically removes the dust and dirt on the slide rail through the rolling of the steel ball, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the slide rail, and the sliding function will not be affected by the dirt entering the interior. At the same time, the steel ball can spread the force around, ensuring the stability of the drawer in the horizontal and vertical directions.

3, drawer material

The steel drawer looks darker silver-gray from the outside, with fine texture, and compared with aluminum drawers, the side panels of steel drawers are thicker. Powder-coated steel drawers are lighter in color than steel drawers, light silver gray, thinner than steel drawers, but thicker than aluminum drawers.

Points to purchase

1. Test steel. The load-bearing capacity of the drawer of the cabinet mainly depends on whether the steel of the rail is good or not. The thickness of the steel of the drawer of different specifications is different, and the load-bearing is also different. When purchasing, you can pull out the drawer and press it hard with your hands to see if it will loosen, rattle or turn over.

2. Look at the material. The material of the pulley determines the comfort of the drawer when sliding. Plastic pulleys, steel balls, and wear-resistant nylon are the three most common pulley materials, among which wear-resistant nylon is the top grade, which is quiet and silent when sliding. Depending on the quality of the pulley, you can push and pull the drawer with one finger. There should be no astringency and no noise.

When buying cabinets, you can’t just focus on appearance. For cabinets, the most important thing is the cabinet hardware hidden inside the cabinet. Drawers are the main storage space of the cabinet. If the drawer slide rail is damaged, the cabinet drawer will be basically paralyzed. It can be seen that whether the drawer is easy to use is closely related to the cabinet drawer slide rail.
