Pull the jam, drawer tip over, youre just missing a good slide!

The bathroom cabinet that has been used for a few years is often intact, but the drawer does not open and close smoothly, pulling and tilting, making disturbing noises, many people choose to directly replace the bathroom cabinet, but in fact, as long as a new slide can be done. The hardware hidden in the side and bottom of the cabinet largely determines the load-bearing performance and opening and closing experience of the drawer, which is the key to the use and life of the bathroom cabinet, therefore, it is necessary to choose a good quality slide.

Slide rail, also known as guide rail, is used in furniture drawers or cabinet board access to the hardware connection components, usually used in bathroom cabinets, kitchen cabinets, wardrobes and other family cabinets drawer connection.

So, how many kinds of slides are commonly used?

1. Roller type slide rail

Roller slide is also called powder slide, a generation of silent slide, simple structure, only two sections, belongs to a two-section rail. Low price, is the lower end of the slide category.

The structure is simple, consisting of a pulley and two tracks, one section is fixed on the cabinet, and the other section is fixed on the drawer with a roller, which can cope with the daily push and pull needs, but the bearing capacity is poor, and it does not have the buffer and rebound function, mainly used for light drawers. In terms of furniture drawers, it has been gradually replaced by steel ball slides.

Two, steel ball type slide rail

Steel ball type slide rail adopts high precision steel ball as a ball bearing slide rail, which can be divided into two and three sections from the number of sections of the slide rail; From the stretch length of the slide rail, it can be divided into full stretch, 3/4 stretch and non-stretch; The upgrade function from the slide can be divided into ordinary slide, rebound slide and damping slide, to achieve buffer close or press rebound open.

Usually installed on the side of the drawer, a large section of the guide rail is fixed on the cabinet, the smallest section is fixed on the drawer, the middle section is connected to one or three sections of the guide rail, push and pull smoothly, can be fully pulled out, the bearing force is large, is the type of slide rail commonly used in modern furniture. Among them, especially the damping slide is the most common, and the damping device is added to play a silent buffer effect. When the buffer operates, the piston rod drives the piston to move, and the liquid flows from one side to the other, forming hydraulic pressure, slowing down the drawer closing speed and reducing the impact force. The installation of damping slide can better extend the service life of the cabinet, and the daily experience is comfortable.

Three, gear type slide rail

Gear slide uses gear structure to push and pull smooth, and steel ball slide, with buffer close and press rebound open function, including hidden bottom slide and horse pull slide, belongs to the high-end slide, the price is higher, and is used in high-end furniture, rare in the daily family cabinet.

1. Hide the bottom slide

The bottom refers to the installation position, the slide is hidden in the bottom of the drawer, from the front, the side can not be seen, visually more beautiful.

The gear structure is used to achieve the effect of smooth pulling and self-buffering closing, but because the installation position of the slide rail will occupy the original space of the drawer, it appears that the drawer is relatively small.

2. Pull the rail

The slide rails mentioned above are installed on wooden drawers, and there is a drawer on both sides of the direct steel structure, in order to achieve the connection of the side and the hardware guide rail, the metal plate is attached to the design of the guide rail, similar to "riding on the guide rail", that is, riding the horse.

The side of the horse drawing is integrated with the drawer, the drawer only needs a bottom plate and a plug behind the production, the structure is stable, and the drawing is smooth. According to the height of the side side, it can be divided into high-top, mid-top and low-top drawers, and the high-top drawer needs to increase the circumference rod or glass enclosure. The drawer slide rail material is mainly stainless steel and cold rolled steel two, and hinge, humidity environment is recommended to use stainless steel slide, bedroom, study and other dry space to use cold rolled steel slide is enough.
