We need to know how to install cabinet hinges. We first need to know what are the cabinet hinge structures. The cabinet hinge structure includes movable arms, hollow arms, locking devices, cover plates and adjusting bolts. There is a base on the movable arms, and A locking device is provided on the base, and a through cavity matching the base is provided on the hollow arm. The through cavity is designed between the movable arm base and the cover plate, and the locking device is limited to the base of the movable arm. And the connection between the cover and the base is designed with adjusting bolts.
Cabinet hinge installation and connection method hinge structure explanation
We need to know how to install the cabinet hinge, we must first know the cabinet hinge What are the structures? The cabinet hinge structure includes a movable arm, a hollow arm, a locking device, a cover plate and an adjusting bolt. A base is provided on the movable arm, and a locking device is provided on the base, and the hollow arm is provided with a base corresponding to the base. Matching through cavity, the through cavity is designed between the movable arm base and the cover plate, and the locking device is limited to the base of the movable arm, and the connection between the cover plate and the base is designed with an adjusting bolt.
There is also a limited convex plate designed in the cavity of the hollow arm. On the corresponding limited convex plate movable arm, there is a limit groove on the movable arm with a chute. The extended base of the position groove passes through the chute, and the corresponding chute position on the limit groove accommodates a movable limit block and a return spring, and the limit block extends out of the limit groove on the outside of the base. , The limit block Shanghai is equipped with a through groove that matches the width of the chute, so the cabinet hinge can choose 360°.
Installation steps of cabinet hinge
Hinge installation
The first step: when we install the cabinet hinge, we must determine the size of the cabinet door. After determining the size of the cabinet door, we also determine the minimum margin between the cabinet doors and the minimum side of the cabinet door. The distance is determined by the type of the root hinge (the side distance of the hinge cup and the thickness of the cabinet door are used to select the value). This is generally included in the cabinet hinge installation manual, and you can refer to it to determine the value.
Step 2: After we have determined the value of the cabinet hinge, when the hinge is connected, we use the installation measuring board or woodworking pencil to mark the position (usually the drilling margin is about 5┨), and then pistol drill or woodworking hole opener in the cabinet The hinged cup mounting hole with a width of about 3-5┨ is drilled on the door panel, and the depth of the drilling is generally about 12┨.
Step 3: We insert the hinge into the hinged cup hole on the cabinet door panel And then use the self-tapping screws to fix the hinge cup of the hinge. After the hinge is inserted into the cabinet door hole, open the hinge, and then insert it into the aligned side panel, and then we will use the self-tapping screw to fix the base of the hinge. OK.
Step 4: After installing the cabinet hinge, the effect of opening and closing the cabinet door, if the effect is not ideal, the hinge can basically be adjusted in six directions, aligned up and down, two cabinets The door should be moderately left and right, and the cabinet door should be debugged to the best effect, and the gap between the cabinet doors after installation is generally 2┨.
