When choosing a hinge, you must first understand what kind of hinge you want to solve the door problem. Let us first talk about the benefits and disadvantages of the hinge detachable and fixed type.


Unloading: You don't have to guess, you can quickly separate the hinge from the base by tapping the hinge tail, saving installation time and allowing single-person installation. However, there is a more obvious disadvantage. When the base is separately installed, it needs to be horizontally aligned on both sides. Some measuring tools are needed, otherwise it will be impossible to install or the cabinet will be tilted. This increases the difficulty of installing the base, but saves the disassembly time and Install power for easy dust removal and maintenance. Usually only one person can complete the installation work. However, it is not suitable to match the cabinet with too heavy weight. If it is too heavy, the connection between the hinge and the base will be loose, and it will be easy to wear and generate unnecessary noise. Therefore, it is necessary to study the load-bearing range of the detachable hinge.


As explained above, the detachable hinge is easy to disassemble and clean. The installation requires a little patience and skill. It can be disassembled and replaced multiple times, and has little influence on the stability of the base. It is often used for installation of shorter and lighter cabinets.


Fixed type: As the name implies, the hinge body and the base are integrated, and the hinge base fixed to the inner layer of the hydraulic cylinder is connected by a solid screw. The advantage is that it is very strong and stable, and there will be no hinge and cabinet falling off. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to install. It requires both hands to hold the entire door to maintain stability. Usually it is done by two people to assist the installation work. When the cabinet door is too heavy, the number of personnel increases, it is easy to disassemble and is not easy to install. The installation is a kind of effort, so it is not convenient to clean it. There is very little chance to disassemble it when it is installed. The disassembly can only be achieved by loosening the base screw. More disassembly will cause the base screws to be too loose and there is a risk of falling off. Suitable for heavy, long cabinet doors and heavy-duty cabinet installation.


Therefore, the hinge-mounted first-time installation is very stable, but it cannot be disassembled and replaced frequently. It is not convenient for the cleaning of the hinge and the paint of the cabinet. The number of fixed hinge bases of different brands is different, but the generality is split. More easy to loose.
