What is a table hinge

Table Hinge is a hardware accessory that is used to connect two plates together while allowing them to pivot at a specific angle. It is commonly used in tables to connect the top and legs or in cabinets to connect the door and the frame. Hinges are available in different materials, sizes, and types. They can be made of brass, nickel, or stainless steel, and they can be invisible or visible, cylinder or butterfly-shaped, and so on. The choice of hinge depends on the weight, size, and design of the table or cabinet.

What are the different types of table hinges available?

There are various types of table hinges available, such as butt hinge, piano hinge, concealed hinge, and European hinge. Butt hinge is a common type of hinge that is visible from the outside. Piano hinge, also known as continuous hinge, is a long hinge that runs along the entire length of the door or lid. Concealed hinge, as the name suggests, is hidden from view when the door is closed. European hinge is a self-closing hinge that is adjustable.

How to install table hinges?

The installation of table hinges depends on the type of hinge and the material it is installed on. For example, if you are installing a butt hinge on a wooden table, you need to mark the screw holes, drill the holes, and screw the hinge onto the table. In contrast, if you are installing a concealed hinge on a cabinet, you need to use a special drilling jig to create the holes for the hinge cup.

What is the weight capacity of table hinges?

The weight capacity of table hinges varies depending on the type and size of the hinge. Generally, hinges can support the weight of the table top or cabinet door they are attached to. However, it is important to choose the right hinge that can support the weight of the furniture or object it is attached to.

In summary, table hinges are an important hardware accessory used to connect plates together while allowing them to pivot. They are available in different types, sizes, and materials, and the choice of hinge depends on the weight and design of the furniture. Proper installation and selection of hinge are critical to ensure the stability and durability of the furniture.
