Hardware Interpretation: Home decoration hardware accessories purchase must know 3 major points

Hardware costs about 3%-5% of home improvement costs. Although the proportion of expenses is small, the whole house decoration is almost inseparable from it. When I walked to the store, I saw that locks, hinges, slides, handles, hanging wheels, nails, plate supports, door stoppers, clothes hooks, bumps, touch cards, and plate pins have begun to feel deeply "interlaced like mountains." In fact, too professional procurement can be left to the decoration master to prepare. But sometimes, some products are mixed, and indeed many consumers are very "scratching their heads". In order to avoid spending money, this issue, the reporter interviewed the relevant experts to teach the way to consumers, to see how to "wake up the spirit" to buy genuine goods. Hardware accessories.

Case 1:

Door lock: one penny

The lock is most afraid of rust and cannot be used. Mrs. Ye, who lives in Baiyun District, recently complained that her door lock could not be opened, and the key was still stuck. Calling the unlocking master to rush to the scene, it turned out that the inside of the lock was rusted. Unlocking and changing the lock, Mrs. Ye spent more than a hundred yuan for this. "I have long known that there is not such a cheap thing under the sun." It turned out that when Mrs. Ye’s home was renovated, she saw a few locks in the hardware store downstairs. At that time, the quotation of the clerk was about doubled. She looked at it for a while, and in terms of appearance, it was no different. So she decided to buy the cheap one. This is not, now it is a loss of the wife and the soldiers.

Copper nickel plating, iron nickel plating listening can distinguish

The weather in Guangzhou is damp, and if the maintenance is not appropriate, the core lock is prone to rust. Some experts suggest that you should choose a slightly more expensive copper core lock when buying, and do not buy inferior core locks. Nowadays, the hardware products on the market are mixed, some unscrupulous merchants even “hanging the sheep and selling dog meat”, and some copper-plated nickel and iron-plated nickel locks have almost the same appearance, but the price varies greatly. As long as you carefully select, you can distinguish it by listening carefully. Usually, the copper lock is silent, the iron lock is silent, the copper lock is fine, and the iron lock is rough.

At the same time, when you buy a door lock, you should also consider the problem of locking. In terms of the shape of the key, in the past, we used the "tooth" key lock, and now there is a "pit" key, but the "pit" key has to be lost to the original factory, so toss, the cost is not big It is also time consuming.

Case 2:

Lost a house with a key

Recently, Mrs. Feng took her room key and opened her own door. "I have heard of the master key, I didn't expect to have one." For this reason, she has a lingering fear: "If someone else can easily open the door and steal things in the house, what should I do?" The neighbors are not so lucky. . Mr. Guo was taken into the house by the thief, and Mr. Guo was very helpless: before leaving, the door was clearly locked, and the thief did not know how to open it. Some professionals pointed out that the problem may be due to the fact that the lock exchange rate is high.

Hipster teaches the road:

Buy a lock to pick up a large number of locks

The mutual opening ratio is the ratio of the lock and the key. The less the number of locks opened by a key, the stronger the safety and reliability of the lock. Chen Hong, the general manager of Huitailong, said that consumers should try to pick a lock with a large number of key teeth when purchasing. Because the more the number of teeth of the key, the greater the difference, the lower the mutual opening rate of the lock. You can try more on the spot and pick products with lower mutual opening rates.

Case 3:

Handle is not easy to use

The handle light looks good and sometimes it is not practical. When Miss Chen, who works for a foreign company, picked up the cabinet, she ordered a transparent glass ball handle. She felt that she was both good-looking and special. She was also unanimously praised by her friends when she was a newcomer. For a long time, after the door was opened and closed several times, several of the most commonly used handles fell. Miss Chen wants to go back and buy again, and finds that she has not found the same. Is it necessary to replace all the handles so soon?

Hipster teaches the road:

The most frequently used hardware accessories are the most important

Handles are often used, and if they are not considered practical, they will soon break down.
