Of all the variety of furniture accessories, it is the loop more often come into disrepair. About the causes of breakdowns and ways to eliminate them are told in our material.
The main causes of breakdowns
Several reasons allocate:
- frequent disassembly and assembly of furniture when moving;
- incorrect assembly;
- Invalid opening angle of the facade door of a kitchen headset or other furniture;
- The load on which neither the door nor loop is designed.
Now consider problems in more detail and give advice how to cope with them.
Frequent problems and solutions
Loop is escaped from the landing place
This can happen due to the discharged holes for fasteners when the self-sized self-sized self is chosen or the hole itself is shedding from the frequent opening-closing of the door. In this case, the treatment is pretty simple - to choose a chart of a little more diameter or if the hole is completely broken, insert a small round pin from a tree into it, lubricated with glue. After drying the glue, the protruding part is cut and installed a loop to its original place.
The loop is spilled with a part of the side wall, the landing place is destroyed
The first thing you can do is lift or lower the loop by making a new planting place in the intact part of the rack. To do this, you will need a forstner drill Ø 35 mm. If there is no possibility to rearrange the loop, you should use epoxy glue. Put all damaged parts in place by placing them with epoxy, a little glue apply and on the loop itself. Wait for the day and set the facade. Practice shows that the product renovated in this way is quite long.
Landing place is not subject to restoration
Here we are harder to do with remedies. In this case, the landing place is partially removed, then a small lining is inserted into the resulting recess, after having previously treated it with glue. Next, the loop is screwed into place.
For the most dense fit, the cutting overlay is desirable to use the clamp.
How to avoid damage
To avoid such damage, it is necessary to take care of furniture carefully. It is reasonable to choose the height of the top of the top lockers in the kitchen - so that you can comfortably reach them.
If you make furniture yourself, it will be worthwhile to know that furniture loops differ in their own functionality. They can be overhead and contributable depending on the furniture design. The loops can have different opening angles. Standard values of this parameter - 30, 45, 90, 120, 135, 180, 270 °. The loop can be with a closer or without it. With independent manufacture of cabinets, it is necessary to remember that the weight of the web has a value when choosing a number of loops. The facade of the high cabinet is better to be attached to three, and in some cases for four loops.
Modern furniture loops are adjustable in three planes: in depth (forward and backward), height (up and down) and the frontal surface (right and left). This makes it possible to adjust the position of the facade in such a way as to get the best adjuncing the doors to the cabinet frame.
