Hidden hinges and ordinary hinges have significant differences in many aspects.
1. Appearance and installation method
Hidden hinges
Appearance: After the hidden hinges are installed, no traces of the hinges can be seen from the outside, making the overall appearance of the door more neat and beautiful.
Installation method: The installation method of hidden hinges is relatively special. They are usually embedded in the door frame or furniture frame, and the installation position of the hinge cannot be observed from the outside.
Ordinary hinges
Appearance: Ordinary hinges usually consist of two metal sheets, one fixed to the door or drawer, and the other fixed to the door frame or drawer frame. The appearance is relatively conspicuous.
Installation method: The installation method of ordinary hinges is relatively simple, usually fixed by screws or welding.
2. Performance
Hidden hinges
Durability: Hidden hinges are relatively complex in structure and need to withstand the weight of the door or drawer and the impact force when opening and closing, so they usually have high durability.
Noise control: Some hidden hinges are also equipped with buffer devices to reduce noise and friction when the door or drawer is closed.
Ordinary hinges
Durability: The durability of ordinary hinges depends on their materials and manufacturing processes, but they are usually not as complex and durable as hidden hinges.
Noise control: Ordinary hinges may produce large noise and friction when opening and closing, and require extra attention to lubrication and maintenance.
