The industry usually divides the hardware into decorative hardware and functional hardware.
Decorative hardware includes furniture handle, aluminum alloy door frame, cabinet skirting board and other decorative parts.
Because this part is very easy to imitate, it is almost impossible to see imported materials on the market.
Functional hardware includes functional accessories such as hinges, drawers, cabinets, basket and so on. Due to the limitation of domestic technology level, there is still a certain gap between domestic products and European imports.
Adhering to the 100% European import hinge brand is not much in the market, but at present the market is only five or six brands such as Ferrari, Germany, Ferrari and so on. The common characteristics of these enterprises are professional hinges manufacturers and distributors, and the vast majority of the brands produced by other manufacturers are made in China or semi domestic.
Consumers, as non professionals, can judge whether the hardware is "imported" by the following methods.

Domestic drawers often use rough accessories in unimportant places.

However, it is difficult for domestic slide rails to achieve such slippage.
The European imported hinges are generally weighed 20% to 30% of the hinges, and the surface is electroless and smooth.
The hinge parts of European imports are smooth and regular, and the hinges are also specially designed with nylon protection.
However, many hinge springs are not polished and burrs.

The lubricating oil parts of the imported hinge spring parts all use light yellow or milky white top lubricants, which have a long service life; while most of the cheap lubricants made in China are black yellow or pure white, the oil is easy to dry, while the viscosity of the lubricants is very low when the hot weather is hot.
Europe
The adjusting screws of the imported hinges are tightly matched. The screwdrivers are used only once at the first time. However, the adjustment screws of many domestic hinges are not tight enough to rotate with their hands.
Of course, the most direct and accurate way is to directly call the brand hardware company or agent, and confirm the furniture you need to buy.
