According to the use occasion and functional requirements, hinges can be divided into ordinary hinges, spring hinges, bearing hinges and other types. While ordinary hinges require the installation of bumper beads to maintain the stability of the door panel, spring hinges function as spring hinges that can be adjusted according to the space and the opening angle of the door.
2. Measure the size and determine the specifications.
To choose the right hinge specification model, you must first measure the size of the doors, windows, cabinets and other parts that need to be installed with the hinge. When measuring, pay attention to key dimensions such as width, height, and thickness to make sure the hinge you choose matches them. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the installation position and number of hinges to ensure their load-bearing capacity and stability.
When determining the specifications, you can choose according to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. In general, the specifications of a hinge are based on their length, width, and thickness. Hinge specifications may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so check the size chart carefully when purchasing to ensure that the selected specifications match your actual needs.

The material of the hinge has a significant impact on its load-bearing capacity and durability. Generally speaking, stainless steel hinges have good corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity, and are suitable for wet environments and heavy load occasions; Iron hinges** are relatively low, but easy to rust and corrode, suitable for dry environments and light load occasions; Copper hinges are highly decorative and durable, making them suitable for high-end home decoration.
When choosing a hinge, it is necessary to consider the actual usage environment and load requirements. For example, stainless steel hinges can be selected for humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens; Iron hinges can be selected for light load occasions such as wardrobes and bookcases; For heavy load occasions such as doors and security doors, stainless steel or copper hinges with higher load-bearing capacity should be selected.
Fourth, pay attention to brand and quality.

High-quality brand hinge products usually have high quality assurance and perfect after-sales service, which can make you more assured during use.

If problems such as loose hinges and abnormal noises are found, they should be adjusted and repaired in time.
In short, when choosing the size and model of the hinge, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the size, material, load-bearing capacity, brand, installation and maintenance and other factors.
