Cabinet hardware accessories purchase, pay attention to three details

Many consumers buy hardware accessories by themselves, but although the hardware accessories are small, they do affect the key factors of the cabinet's use effect and service life. Once it has any problems, it is definitely the most annoying. For example, when opening and closing cabinet doors and sliding drawers are not smooth, it directly affects the mood and effect of use. These feelings are all determined by the quality of hardware accessories. Moreover, hardware accessories are also an important factor affecting the price of cabinets. The same set of cabinets, due to the different quality of hardware accessories, may bring a price difference of several thousand yuan.

In this regard, the author reminds everyone to pay attention: small quality differences can bring many differences in use. For the overall cabinet, the hardware is like the node of the cabinet. When actually ordering the cabinet and hardware accessories, these important parts , Consumers must consider clearly.

Therefore, the author has sorted out the following details that need to be paid attention to when purchasing accessories, please pay attention to consumers.

1. It is not reliable to buy big brands, most of which cannot be replaced by hardware

The standard hardware of general cabinet brands is mostly domestic. If consumers are not satisfied with the standard hardware, then different brands will have different answers. Such solutions are divided into two types: replaceable and non-replaceable.

Brands that cannot replace hardware will generally point out that there is only one hardware manufacturer that the brand cooperates with, so there is no room for replacement. If they propose to buy hardware by themselves, most of them will say that they can install it for free. Hardware brands that can be replaced are also roughly divided into replacement within the scope of brand cooperation and consumer replacement. In terms of replacement and installation, most brands are still relatively generous, and are willing to accept consumer purchases and provide free installation. .

At this time, the more famous and high-end cabinet brands had slightly different attitudes. On the one hand, many hardware accessories suppliers cooperated with first-line brands are already well-known international brands, which are quite favored and satisfied by consumers. There is no problem of individual replacement, and the after-sales service is relatively secure; on the other hand, some brands have made it clear that they do not accept Consumers request to replace hardware accessories separately, even if they propose to buy them on their own, the salesperson also refuses to help with the installation. One of the important reasons is that the hardware affects the installation effect and use effect of the whole cabinet. If consumers buy it by themselves, once the cabinet has problems, the responsibilities are not easy to distinguish.

So, instead of buying a famous brand, you can choose the accessories at will. At this time, we must discuss these details with the sales staff before purchasing. If it is not possible to replace, you can pay attention to the future cost issues.

Second, there is no unified billing standard, the standard configuration requires attention

Purchasing cabinets is already a tedious task, and the billing of hardware is even more troublesome. Due to the lack of a unified standard, for the billing method of hardware, cabinet brands can be described as one family. It is more common for manufacturers to pack hardware accessories, which means that when ordering cabinets, a set of standard hardware accessories are included in the price. The items that should be included are: hinges, drawer slides, handles and handles, and supports Wait.

Because of the confusion of the billing methods of hardware accessories in the cabinet market, consumers must pay attention to screening when purchasing, and confirm the clearing price and installation method to the sales staff. In addition, they also need to contact the sales staff. Separately confirm the warranty period of the hardware.

Three, different models, the price difference is several hundred yuan

In the hardware accessories retail store, we compared the prices of domestic and imported hydraulic support parts. For example, the price difference between the ordinary domestic hydraulic support sold in the store and the same product imported from South Korea is 15 yuan. There are about 2 to 4 top cabinets in the kitchen with upward-opening doors. Each cabinet needs 2 hydraulic supports, so up to 8 will be used. According to the price difference of 15 yuan, the price difference between domestic and imported It should be around 120 yuan. And this does not include many hinges and drawer slides, etc.

Of course, if you choose the right model, hardware accessories can also be purchased and replaced. At the same time, you need to pay attention that the overall cabinet is installed and repaired according to the overall problem. If the hardware purchased by yourself has a problem, the cabinet manufacturer may not be able to provide free repair services, and if you are not too concerned about the quality of the hardware Experts, I still advise you to provide the whole cabinet together with a brand, so that any problems can be handed over to the brand to avoid wrangling.
