When making a customized wardrobe, the type of door is a very critical multiple-choice question. If you choose it well, not only will the wardrobe look good, but it will also avoid a lot of trouble in future use. If you choose poorly, it will be miserable. The door will not open, the items in the closet will be inconvenient to access, and it will even fall off every once in a while. In short, there are countless troubles waiting for you.

Today we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each type of wardrobe door. I hope everyone can choose the right cabinet door according to their own situation.

Hinged door

The most cost-effective door is the swing door. This kind of cabinet door is the most traditional, but its popularity has never diminished. Compared with the other two types of doors, it has two advantages:

1. Sturdy, hinges are used to connect the swing door to the cabinet. Compared with rails, this traditional connection method has a longer life. From the perspective of frequent opening and closing and long-term use, swing doors appear to be more durable in terms of time and frequency.

2. Easy to take, the two cabinet doors can be opened at the same time, and the scene inside the cabinet is clear at a glance. Whether you are looking for things or storing things, the use of swing doors will make people feel smooth.

But at the same time, the swing door also faces a huge flaw, that is, it needs to occupy the space in front of the wardrobe:

After the swing door is opened, The door leaf runs right in front of the wardrobe. This means that if you plan to. When using a flat-door wardrobe, you must leave at least 45cm (the width of the cabinet door) in front of the wardrobe. If you plan to slightly improve the use experience of the flat-door wardrobe, you need to leave an additional 20cm – only in this way can you open it. You can still pass through the front of the wardrobe behind the cabinet door.

Sliding doors

The sliding door wardrobe is equally divided in terms of sales volume as the sliding door wardrobe.

1. It does not take up space, which just makes up for the shortcomings of the swing door. After the sliding door is opened, the two (three) door leaves are overlapped. There is no impact on the space in front of the wardrobe. In other words, as long as the wardrobe can be accommodated, there is no need to consider opening the door.

Of course, the so-called \”no space\” is only a relative term. The body is It is deeper than the swing door, after all, the cabinet door (track) of the sliding door is thicker.

2. It looks good, and it is not sure how many levels higher than the swing door (especially the hanging rail door). There are only tracks on the top, and the track cannot be seen when the door is opened). You can even imitate the barn door and directly wrap the entire cabinet, even the ceiling above the wardrobe is omitted. The overall effect is great▼

The biggest problem facing sliding doors is that they are not durable. Sliding doors can be divided into hanging rail doors and floor rail doors. Floor rail doors are more traditional, with one track up and down. Although the lifespan of this kind of door is not as good as that of swing doors, it is relatively better. However, the track under the subway door is too ugly, and the gap in the track is a hygienic dead corner. Now fewer and fewer people choose it.

The more recommended one is the hanging rail door. Although its lifespan is a little short, it is really beautiful and clean.

Folding door

The characteristics of the folding door are between the swing door and the sliding door – it can be fully opened and does not occupy The space in front of the wardrobe. In appearance, it is also more flexible and changeable. It can be as regular as a swing door or as flexible as a sliding door. However, people who generally choose folding doors like the appearance of flat doors, but cannot accept the huge space occupied by flat doors.

The reason why folding doors are not as popular as the first two types of doors is mainly because of their high price and short lifespan. In terms of price, folding doors are nearly twice as expensive as flat doors because they require more mechanical structure.

In terms of lifespan, folding doors also have hinges, tracks, and bearings. Problems with any one component will mean damage to the door. Therefore, the failure rate of folding doors is generally relatively high. They will make abnormal noises and become loose after two or three years of use.situation is even more common.
