How to choose high-quality hardware accessories to avoid pitfalls? Today, we will reveal the tips for buying door and window hardware from a professional perspective in the industry!

Focus on adaptation and material

Different types of doors and windows have different requirements for hardware accessories. For example, casement windows require hinges with strong load-bearing capacity, while sliding windows rely on smooth and durable pulleys. At the same time, the thickness of the profile is different, and the specifications of the hardware to be adapted are also different. It is necessary to ensure that the two are compatible to prevent gaps or looseness after installation.

In terms of materials, stainless steel hinges and hinges are corrosion-resistant and have strong load-bearing capacity, suitable for frequent opening and closing; high-hardness alloy pulleys and rails are wear-resistant and smooth after surface oxidation treatment; pure copper or stainless steel lock cores have good anti-pry performance, and the surface coating of the lock body is uniform and wear-resistant; EPDM sealing strips are aging-resistant, elastic, and can adapt to extreme temperatures.

Consider safety and details

Safety performance is the key to selecting hardware accessories. You should choose a C-level lock core that meets national standards. The multi-point lock system equipped with high-end doors and windows fixes the doors and windows through multiple locking points, which can improve the anti-theft performance. Some high-quality accessories also have anti-pry grooves, anti-pry blocks and other designs.

From the perspective of detailed experience, high-quality hardware accessories can make doors and windows silent and light when opening and closing. Large-sized doors and windows should pay special attention to the load-bearing capacity of hardware, and merchants can be asked to provide load-bearing test reports. In addition, high-quality accessories have a smooth surface, uniform color, and no obvious burrs or defects.

Low-price trap

Some low-priced hardware accessories on the market often use inferior materials or simplified processes. They seem to save money in the short term, but long-term use will bring safety hazards and high maintenance costs.

Fake foreign brands

Some merchants claim to be "imported hardware", but they are actually OEM products produced by small domestic factories. When purchasing, be sure to check the brand qualifications and product certifications.

Ignore the installation process

No matter how good the hardware accessories are, if they are not installed properly, they will affect the use effect. It is recommended to choose a brand with a professional installation team to ensure the quality of installation.

Look at the brand

Check certification

Try the feel

When purchasing, try to open and close the doors and windows yourself to feel the smoothness and load-bearing capacity of the hardware. High-quality hardware accessories are light and noiseless to operate.

Ask after-sales

The service life of hardware accessories is closely related to after-sales service. Choose a brand that provides a long-term warranty to avoid the trouble of later repairs.
