What are the materials of the wardrobe slide

1. Wardrobe slides, also called wardrobe slides. General wardrobe slides include bottomed wheel slides and ball slides. Wardrobe slide rail materials are aluminum alloy, brushed stainless steel and cold rolled steel. In addition to the material of the slide rail, the quality of the track depends on the thickness of the material. Generally, a thickness greater than 1.2 mm will be better.

2. The materials of the pulleys are plastic pulleys, fiberglass pulleys and metal pulleys. The plastic pulley is hard but it will not slide due to astringency for a long time. The fiberglass pulley has better abrasion resistance and smooth pulling. The metal pulley will rub against the track during pulling and will produce harsh noise. When choosing all pulleys, fiberglass pulleys are better.

How to choose the wardrobe slide

1. Use upper and lower rails or hanging rails for the wardrobe slide

There are two types of wardrobe rails: upper and lower rails and hanging rails. The upper and lower rails have both upper and lower rails, and only the upper rails have sliding rails. The lower rail of the upper and lower rails is easy to accumulate dust and debris, which is not convenient for cleaning. Although the cleaning of the hanging rails is convenient and hygienic, the construction and maintenance are more troublesome, and the requirements for hardware are also high. If the door is too heavy, it will easily sag due to gravity and affect the service life. Both have pros and cons. For insurance, it is better to choose the upper and lower rails.

2. Use grooves or grooves for wardrobe slides

There are two types of grooves and grooves in the wardrobe slide. The convex groove slide rail can be dust-proof, it is beautiful to use but it is not easy to maintain, and it will derail if it is used too hard in use. Since the convex groove corresponds to a concave wheel, if the concave wheel is constantly stressed, it will become wider after a long time. At that time, the concave wheel and the convex groove are not tightly connected, and gaps are likely to occur, so that the wardrobe door will shake when it is pushed and pulled. The biggest disadvantage of the groove slide rail is that it is inconvenient to clean. When purchasing, ensure that the slide rail of the sliding door is tightly integrated with the slide door, and it is smooth to use and has a small degree of shaking. In general, whether the groove or the groove of the wardrobe slide rail has its own advantages and disadvantages, it is better to choose according to the actual situation when it is determined.
