In the structure of the chassis and cabinet, hardware accessories are the heart of the cabinet and the key to supporting its performance. A high-quality chassis and cabinet cannot be separated from a complete set of hardware accessories, including hinges, handles, connecting rods, wind braces, pulleys, bolts, door closers, and other hardware. Seemingly inconspicuous hardware accessories play a crucial role.

一、五金件的好坏直接影响机箱机柜的寿命

1、 The quality of hardware directly affects the lifespan of the chassis and cabinet

其实决定机柜寿命长久的重要因素不只在于型材，更在于门窗五金本身。任何机柜都有一定的使用寿命；使用时间越长，五金配件损耗老化程度越严重。机箱机柜五金件对柜体使用年限的影响在于：当支撑机柜正常运作的五金配件因使用不当或使用时间过长而损坏、断裂、生锈，机柜的实际功能将大幅减弱，其隐患也会随之而来。这时候我们就需要对其进行维修保养或者换代了。一般来说正常使用或维护较好的五金件，其使用年限为更长。

In fact, the important factor that determines the longevity of the cabinet is not only the profile, but also the hardware itself of the doors and windows. Any cabinet has a certain service life; The longer the use time, the more severe the wear and aging of hardware accessories. The impact of chassis and cabinet hardware on the service life of the cabinet body is that when the hardware accessories that support the normal operation of the cabinet are damaged, broken, or rusted due to improper use or prolonged use, the actual function of the cabinet will be greatly weakened, and its safety hazards will also come with it. At this point, we need to repair and maintain it or replace it. Generally speaking, hardware that is in normal use or well maintained has a longer lifespan.

二、机箱机柜五金配件与机柜的性能直接挂钩

2、 The hardware accessories of the chassis and cabinet are directly linked to the performance of the cabinet

门窗的综合性能与门窗五金件的结构种类密切相关。比如说平开窗的承重配件有合页、铰链（滑撑）等，其作用在于保证平开窗的正常开启，让窗扇在日常开启或者大风天气下稳固不脱落，提升柜体的稳定性。

The comprehensive performance of doors and windows is closely related to the structural types of door and window hardware. For example, the load-bearing components of a casement window include hinges, hinges (sliding braces), etc. Their function is to ensure the normal opening of the casement window, ensure that the window sash is stable and does not fall off during daily opening or strong wind weather, and improve the stability of the cabinet.

再比如，机柜的锁闭部件主要包括锁点、锁扣、传动器、转角器等。配合机箱机柜的密封系统，五金件的使用将对机柜的整体性能(防盗性、密封性、隔音效果、保温性能等)产生重要的影响。另外机柜执手与联动器也可以通过改变执手手柄的位置而实现各种开启功能。

For example, the locking components of the cabinet mainly include locking points, locking buckles, actuators, corner devices, etc. In conjunction with the sealing system of the chassis and cabinet, the use of hardware components will have a significant impact on the overall performance of the cabinet (anti-theft, sealing, sound insulation, thermal insulation, etc.). In addition, the cabinet handle and linkage can also achieve various opening functions by changing the position of the handle handle.

三、机箱机柜五金件和门窗效果息息相关

3、 The hardware of the chassis and cabinet is closely related to the energy-saving effect of doors and windows

提高机箱机柜的效果在于提升机柜整体的密封性能，而提高机箱机柜密封性能则需要依靠密封胶条以及门将密封胶条压紧来达成。

The key to improving the energy-saving effect of the chassis and cabinet is to improve the overall sealing performance of the cabinet, and improving the sealing performance of the chassis and cabinet requires the sealing strip and the door sealing strip to be pressed tightly.

对机箱机柜密封性能产生影响的锁类五金件大体可以分为两类：多锁点五金件和单锁点五金件。

The locking hardware that affects the sealing performance of the chassis and cabinet can be generally divided into two categories: multi locking point hardware and single locking point hardware.

多锁点五金件的锁点和锁座分布在机柜的四周，当机柜锁闭后，锁点锁座牢牢地扣在一起，与铰链或者滑撑配合共同产生密封压紧力使扇、框之间形成足够的密封。因此，使用多锁点五金件可以提高机柜的密封与耐撬防盗性能（而单锁点五金件所带来的密封性和防盗性会相对差一些）。

The locking points and seats of multi locking hardware are distributed around the cabinet. When the cabinet is locked, the locking points and seats are firmly fastened together, and together with hinges or sliding braces, they generate sealing and compression force to form sufficient sealing between the fan and frame. Therefore, using multiple locking point hardware can improve the sealing and anti theft performance of the cabinet (while the sealing and anti theft performance brought by single locking point hardware will be relatively poor).
