The importance of high-quality doors, windows, and hardware

With the improvement of life and the development of modern technology, there are different materials for making building doors and windows. Nowadays, in residential and other construction projects, there are generally materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), aluminum alloy, stainless steel, color steel, etc. The five metal fittings used for building doors and windows made of different materials are also different. The opening methods of doors and windows are push-pull, flat opening, and hanging, and the hardware fittings used for doors and windows should also match them.

Hardware accessories can be regarded as the heart of doors and windows. The full play of all performance of doors and windows, such as wind resistance, air tightness, water tightness, insulation, heat insulation, and sound insulation, is closely related to hardware accessories.

Conditions for high-quality door and window hardware accessories

In addition to meeting the physical and mechanical properties of doors and windows, the following conditions must also be met:

(1) Easy to operate, single point control: various opening functions can be achieved by changing the position of the handle;

(2) Standardization and serialization enable door and window enterprises and construction companies to install quickly;

(3) Adjustability;

(4) Strong load-bearing capacity;

(5) High safety;

(6) Widely applicable;

(7) Strong applicability (high-quality specifications).

How to choose door and window hardware

(1) When selecting hardware accessories, try to choose products with guaranteed quality. The quality level of hardware accessories should be consistent with that of doors and windows. The structure and shape of hardware accessories should match the profiles, with harmonious and beautiful colors, correct functions, flexible operation, and easy installation.

(2) The installation of hardware accessories should be complete, standardized, reliable, and accurately positioned. After installation, the appearance of doors and windows should be beautiful, flexible and convenient to open, and there should be no deformation, obstruction or collision.

(3) Stainless steel products should be preferred for exposed fasteners of hardware accessories.

(4) When closing swing doors and large sliding doors and windows, multiple locking points should be used, otherwise the airtightness will be greatly reduced under negative pressure. Considering the convenience of operation, multiple locking point handles or actuators should be used.

What is the appropriate height for the door and window handle position

The position of the side hung window handle lock should be explained when placing an order, so as to adjust the parameters in the design and processing. After all, it is customized according to the specific situation of the owner.

What is the appropriate height for opening the handle lock? Once, a male homeowner who was 1.8 meters tall liked to install it higher, but when the designer came to see his wife who was only 1.5 meters tall, he changed the plan. Indeed, when designing, it is even more important to understand the height of female homeowners. Generally, female homeowners are between 1.5-1.6 meters tall, and wearing slippers at home makes them even shorter. If the lock is installed too high, it is inconvenient for female homeowners to open and close the window sashes, especially when opening the window sashes at a large angle, which requires their bodies to lean out of the window, making it not only difficult but also dangerous. But it is too low and not suitable for male homeowners.

In general, the height of the handle lock off the ground should be near the shoulder of the female homeowner, usually around 1.4 meters. If the female homeowner is relatively tall, it should be raised slightly.
