Installation of fasteners on the doors and sides of cabinets - not an easy process. The correct installation of loops depends on the balance of the valves and their trouble-free operation for a long time. How to install the hinges on the cabinet with his own handsYou can learn from this material.
Follow the instructions and you will be able to do all the work for assembling pieces of furniture in the living room, bedroom or hallway.
MountsMounted on large furniture- it Semimechanical elementsWho are responsible for the disclosure of the valves. Much depends on the material and thickness of the door, so that from which the loops are made, it is also important.
Hinges must withstand the regulatory burden.

Types of hinges for furniture
For install often use overhead unit with four hinges, the so-called frog. Such mounting suitable for any design involving hinged casement - wardrobe or cupboard, other species furniture.
Metal parts are made of strong alloys resistant to corrosion and mechanical deformation.
Furniture hinges are divided into several types, depending on how they are fixed:
- Hakladnye;
- Polunakladnye;
- ATKladno;
- ANDnversnye;
- Royalnye;
- Pyatochnye;
- WTolna et al.
Types of furniture hinges.
For cabinet is often used with the overhead structure-base cups that connect to the panel with screws. Mechanical liners with "shoulders" are inserted into the base and are fixed on the door and side canvas.
Such fasteners are reliable and durable because they have enhanced connection with the planes.
Depending on the type of cabinet and its dimensions and material is selected form the appropriate connection parts. Some elements used exclusively for classical furniture, where all details have to match the style. For ordinary wardrobes selected standard overhead and polunakladnye mounting.
For installation on the casement must use certified industrial products - it is a guarantee of strength and durability of furniture and its parts.
Preparing for installation
-
Before starting work, a set of tools and materials you need to prepare for furniture. Be sure to have on hand a screwdriver, drill with the appropriate nozzle, a simple pencil, crayon, ruler or tape measure. You will also need screws suitable size (usually sold together with the hinges), and a specific section of screws.
Tools for installing loops.
-
When installing fasteners must take into account the material with which you are dealing, and its structure. For friable or fibrous wood panels use different types of fasteners and fixing methods. Glass surfaces also require a special approach. Advantageously, there are two mounting - top and bottom. If the leaf is heavy or exceeds meter length, to enhance, you can add one more piece in the middle. In excess of 9 kg door equipped with additional loops - was added for every 5 kg weight. two loops for large items are typically used for kitchen cabinets - three.
The maximum number of fastening elements which can be placed on the door at great length and weight of 20 kg - 5 pieces.
-
From the upper and lower inner corners of the doors is necessary to measure at least 10 cm, otherwise the flap may eventually "come loose" and the screws will come out of the grooves.
It should not be placed on the shelves loop level - the door will not close.
-
Before the start install fasteners should be done counting. This will help to connect elements much more accurate.
Use a pencil or fine chalk.
-
The average length of the indentation from the edge of the leaf cabinet to loop center is 2.2 cm.
This distance for standard fasteners.
-
Before installing the door hinges cabinet wipe the surface. Mark the location of future connections sharp nail or awl.
Preparation for installation of furniture fasteners can not stand fuss. On this depends the correct operation of the door.
Carefully check all the parameters of the valves cabinet, Shelf location, etc. It is possible to make a preliminary sketch.
Installation of fasteners
The doors cabinet pre-try on to the sidewalls to make the exact layout. First stage install loops - drilling holes for mounting cups.
Make a loop in a vertical position, the door is not always convenient. This potentially reduces the accuracy of the connection.
Place the leaf on a flat surface and secure it. Drill with a drill and cutter hole cup. It is important not to make too big depressions of 1.2 cm is sufficient. Insert the cup into the holes and tighten the screws in the door of the mount.
They need to be included in the grooves evenly, with no warping, otherwise the door will be fixed properly.
For install fittings position the drill vertically - any tilt will make the work of poor quality, there may be chipped, due to which the attachment is securely grasped. Mounting plate on a sidewall of the product can be installed in upright panels, pre-marking up the joints.
When drilling the drill is also necessary to keep a very steady.
If you are using false details, they make "blind" to not sprawling when connecting and assembly. Such attachment should not have gaps and distortions. When connecting flaps and sidewalls use the help.
Together the work process will be easier, better and more accurately.
Installing fittings on glass doors require special care and caution. For such leaflets acquire special fasteners. On the part of the sidewall need holes that are drilled using a drill.
The glass cloth is fixed by means of clamps.
Alignment and Adjustment
Furniture mounting They need to be adjusted. To this end, in the process of install check their fixation on the depth and distance. You can do it in the horizontal or vertical parts cabinet. after assembly, furniture all preliminary calculations become the result, so it is important to pay in advance and marking the connection parameters over time.
When choosing must first pay attention to the strength of the product, it should be for the life of the furniture.
After installation mounts on the cabinet door you must carefully try the sash to the sidewalls so that they match exactly. Mark with a pencil the joints. Lock the door and do the fixing work on both sides. It is important that the accuracy of all parts cabinet It was absolute. Complete assembly and test work.
When the first opening-closing flap can move a few tight loops if not already greased and are not developed.
After attachment loops on the cabinet completed, it is recommended to drip into the mechanism a little machine oil. Then wipe the surface with an absorbent cloth.
Check that all the elements work properly.
For cabinet Chipboard is better to take a wide loop, since the base material can crumble.
The better all the items of furniture collected, the stronger will be their operation.
Installing hinges on the door cabinetDo not forget that after a while leaves can sag under its own weight, especially when they often stay open. It is therefore necessary periodically to strengthen the loop by tightening screws. In modern fixtures make it easy - with the oval portion has an additional recess.
Try to fine-tune the details carefully so as not to undermine the grooves.
Also take time to lubricate hinges on time cabinetSo they do not rust and does not creak. adjusting mountingIt is necessary to fix not only the screws that connect the cup or the bar, but the details of the door closer. The mechanical part can wear out from use. Therefore, it is important to have 2-3 spare element to them to replace broken parts. On the "drawdown" says skew, loose shielding. Work is carried out more frequently in areas with uneven floors and high humidity.
If the setting does not help, it is necessary to replace the old parts with new ones.
Changing fixing for used furniture you need to look as far as they are suitable for her. You may have to because of the loosening of the slots to change the location of the new loops.
In this case, it is recommended to disassemble the furniture and re-do all the installation.
After adjustment, check for gaps, density fit the door at closing, a total mobility and smoothness of the leaf axis.
When installing multiple fasteners should calculate their location has not got on the internal elements of furniture.
