Concealed soft close slide is leading the most
high-end drawer slide trend, which
draws great attention of furniture enterprise, cabinet enterprise and bathroom
cabinet enterprise that want to improve the level of their product. Improvement
of product of these enterprises mostly depends on the function of hardware.
Special product profit bringing by hardware with
great function is necessary to build a furniture brand. And concealed soft
close drawer rails fascinates
brand name furniture, because it is a
high-end furniture hardware silent slide with concealed design that no sign of
slide, looking from the front of the drawer glides.
The higher-tech the product, the easier to have
quality problem. If the customer makes a bad choice, it’s even more complicated
and wasted than using normal slide. There are plenty of Chinese concealed soft
close slide factories spring up like mushrooms, whose product’s quality and
price is different from each other. How to choose concealed soft close slide is
becoming a difficult choice for many production type furniture enterprises that
want to apply concealed soft close slides.
Here, Kingwen Liang puts forward below advices:
First,
productive technology of slide
The most direct discerning method is to discern the
appearance of slide, watching the productive technology. Because of
competition, normally small factories will choose bad quality material and
their dies and production level are deficient, while powerful factories will
use government-friendly galvanized sheet to produce slide, which has several
advantages, including their hardness increases the heavy loading capacity of
slide, not easy to rust and better appearance.
Second,
pull-out strength of slide
Pulling out the concealed soft close slide, see
whether it needs to be pulled out hard or not. Some inexperienced factories
worry that the drawer can’t auto close, so they enlarge the strength of
springs, but with little regard for easiness of pulling out, which lead to
requiring pulling out hard and suggests the inexperience of the factories.
Third,
auto closing time of slide
Pushing the concealed soft close slide, the best
time from having effect of auto close to finally close is about 1.2 second. If
auto closing too fast will make noise, but if too slow will have the
possibility of can’t auto close fully after a long time. Normally, adopting
hydraulic damper is easier to control the auto closing time than gas damper.
Four,
swing range of the slide
Swing range of slide can’t be too large, or it will
make the damper of concealed soft close slide can’t be bring out and make the
concealed soft close slide lose the high-end function of silently auto close.
Five,
durability test of slide
Durability is an important index to judge whether
the quality of slide is good or not. However, not any one has testing way to
let a slide keep undamaged after 50,000 times close&open with 25kg heavy
loading. Maybe getting certificates from SGS or other testing institution is a
great advice. After all, no one will have patient to pull and close a drawer
for 50,000 times.
Six,
well known slide manufacturer
Stamping pats of concealed soft close slide need
highly automation to guarantee it’s stability, especially for hydraulic damper.
But for some small slide manufacturers, it’s hard to ensure success by opening
molds once about research and development of concealed soft close slide. One
million of RMB will be wasted, if a small mistake made in opening molds. Even
modification of finished molds also needs a large investment, therefore, many
small enterprises even know there are some flaws in their products, but they
may choose not to improve their product, because of lack of fund and the
uncertainty of market. There are few slide enterprises both can produce
stamping parts and hydraulic damper. They usually outsource, which result in
uncertainty and uncontrollability. So it’s very obvious that well know slide
manufacturers will have advantages of quality guarantee.
All in all, concealed soft close drawer slide is a
high-tech product which can’t guarantee it’s effect and durability, if it don’t
have technological strength. If just pursue for cheap price, it’s like the loss
outweighs the gain for furniture to improve quality and brand popularity.
