Basic Maintenance Of Door And Window Hardware

Good product appearance and function depend on the effective daily maintenance, and correct methods can extend the service of the goods. Door and window hardware is the soul of doors and windows, including the handle, the lock, the hinge and so on. They are small in size, but usually play the important role. So the key point of the service life of the door and window lies in the maintenance of the door and window hardware.

Stainless steel handle and other stainless steel hardware can be wiped by the cleaner, which is helpful to add light. Special attention should be paid to the rotation and stretch direction of handle. And you should educate your children not to hang on the door handle, which is not only dangerous, but also may cause damage to the handle. The performance of the hinge, hanging wheel, casters and other active parts, can be reduced because of the dust adhesion in long time movement, so we should add one or two drops of oil on them every half an year, to ensure their good performance. If the rotation of the lock core is not flexible enough, you can scrape a small amount of black powder from the pencil core, and take it into the lock core. The graphite component of the pencil core is a kind of good solid lubricant. Do not drop the lubricating oil into the lock core, or there will be more adhesion of dust.

Six Things About The Installation Of Hinges

Hinges are the most common small parts of furniture, but they play the most important role of connecting doors and windows. The installation of hinges is not difficult, but if you don't pay attention to some small keys, the experience of use may be affected, and there may appear some problem such as the door or window titles. Generally speaking, we should pay attention to the following six points when installing the hinges.

First, before the installation you should check whether hinges match the frame and the leaf of the door and window. Second, make sure that the hinge matches the length, width and height of the hinges. Third, do not forget to check if the hinge is connected with the suitable screws and fasteners. Fourth, the connection method of hinges should be matching the material of the door and window. For example, when the hinge is installed on the door with steel frame, one side of the hinge should be welded on the steel frame, and the other side should be connected with the wooden by wood screws. Fifth, when the two page-plates of the hinge are not asymmetric, you should identify which page plate should be connected with the door leaf, and which page plate should be connected with the door frame. Sixth, during installation, you should guarantee that the hinges on same door leaf are in the same vertical line, so as to avoid the door or window bounce.

How To Choose The Hinge

The hinge plays an important role in the doors and windows. If the quality of the hinge is poor, the doors and windows will be easy to stagger forward and back after long use, and finally loose and sagging. High-quality hardware is always made by cold-rolled steel in one-time stamping molding. It feels solid, and the surface is smooth. Moreover, because of the thick surface coating, high-quality hardware with stronger bearing capacity is durable and not easy to rust. The inferior hinge is generally welded by thin steel sheet, which has almost no rebound. After a long time use, the hardware will lose elasticity, resulting in looseness of doors and windows, and even cracking.

The hinge with different quality feels different. Open the door or window, the ones with high-quality hinge will be on the softer release, and when closed to 15 degrees, the door or window will automatically rebound with very uniform resilience. Choosing hinge, you should pay attention to the reset property of the spring hinge. The quality of the reed also determines the opening angle of the doors and windows. Good reed can make the open angle of doors and windows greater than 90 degrees. You can open the hinge to 95 degrees, push down both sides of the hinge and observe the supporting spring reed. If there is no distortion and break, the products generally have good quality.

Window Hardware Market Trend

Doors and windows as building envelope, their energy-saving performance directly make influence of building energy saving, and door and window hardware as doors and windows accessories, while providing fittings for doors and windows, their quality has a direct impact on the effect of energy saving of doors and windows. Therefore, high-quality window hardware can play an important role of the building energy conservation.

2008-2012 years, the average growth of China's complete housing construction area is in the rate of 11.52%. An industry research institute is expected that, in the future, our country construction area of housing construction will continue to maintain the average growth rate of about 11%. In addition, the high-grade doors and windows hardware market will continue to ascend; as prices rise, doors and windows hardware’s prices also raise. This research institute also forecast, to 2017, China's door and window hardware industry market scale will reach ￥457,550,000,00.

Different Regional Demand Of Window Hardware In China

China's window hardware manufacturing enterprises began to develop in the southeast coastal area, mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Shandong etc. At this stage, enterprises in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shandong and other places still maintain a leading market advantage and have strong competitiveness. Affected by the level of economic development and climate conditions, there is a big difference on the regional demand for window hardware.

At present, since the domestic economy developed area and the area in the south of the Yellow River are hot, they mostly use the aluminum doors and windows. As the energy-saving policy requirements, in the high-grade market, it is hot to use the heat insulation break bridge aluminum doors and windows, so as to reach the results of energy-saving and insulation. Solid wood composite windows and aluminum wood composite windows are mainly concentrated in the high-grade property of economically developed areas, such as Beijing, Shanghai and so on. 

The Importance Of Door Handle Clean

According to statistics, every ordinary person averagely carries up to 150 bacterium; therefore, there is a view that human hands are even dirtier than the bathroom toilet. Some bacteria are harmless, or even beneficial to health, however, some bacteria may cause serious disease.

In the family, the handle of the door is not only used by your families, but also a lot of friends and visitors, so the number and frequency of use is obviously more. Since our hands are so "dirty", you can imagine that how much the residual and breed of the bacterium and even viruses on the door handle. But in the general case, we usually forget to clean the handle of door, and the door handle become health hazard. If there are children and old people in our family, who forget to wash their hands and directly touch food by hands after using the dirty door handle, the contamination on the hands of the bacteria can cause diarrhea and even enteritis, which do serious harm to their health.

Therefore, in order to reduce the cross infection of the family more conveniently and effectively, and especially avoid the foreign bacterium spreading and breeding by the door handle, we must clean the door handle frequently, and eliminate the bacterium and viruses on the door handle.

The Definition of Glass Door Clamp

Glass door clamp is a kind of hardware fitting which fixed between the glass and the wall. It is like a door hinge but glass door clamp is almost made by metal and divided into two and a half. When installation, we should put the glass door clamp in the middle, then fix the glass door clamp with the screw, so make it easy to install other parts. One of our products, stainless steel decoration cover glass door clamp, which has manual polishing treatment on the surface, so its edge is smooth and it can prevent collision. What’s more, it chooses high strength aluminum alloy, which is durable and bearing capacity can up to 100 kg, so it is suitable for most of the glass door. Glass door clamp has precision concave clasp, adopts automatic stamping machine to stamp automatically, work closely with floor spring, which can prolong the service life of it.

This fine glass door clamp cover plate is made of high quality stainless steel, so it can eliminate rust problem, and more solid and wear-resisting, will not collapse, not become warped edge when using for a long time. Flat surface is through a careful sanding polishing processing, so make it look more exquisite and smooth, which let you use more comfortable.
