3. Detailed operation guide
1. Lubrication treatment method (suitable for slight abnormal noise)
The "three-in-one lubrication plan" recently shared by Xiaohongshu: first use cotton swabs to clean the dust in the hinge gaps, then apply Vaseline for basic lubrication, and finally spray a small amount of WD-40 anti-rust agent. Actual measurements show that this method can reduce abnormal noise by 90%.
2. Screw leveling skills
Douyin's popular tutorial suggests: Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen all the hinge screws first, keep the cabinet door in a natural sagging state, and then tighten it one by one starting from the top. Pay attention to leaving a 0.5mm movement gap when adjusting to avoid new abnormal noises caused by over-tightening.
3. Hardware purchasing guide
According to Zhihu’s professional evaluation:
- Domestic DTC hinges are the most cost-effective (about 8-15 yuan/unit)
- Imported Blum hinges have the best durability (life span of 100,000 opening and closing times)
- Quick-install hinges are most suitable for DIY replacement (no positioning and drilling required)
4. Preventive maintenance suggestions
According to the big data analysis of the Home Appliances Forum:
① Check the hinge screw tightness every quarter
② Perform deep lubrication and maintenance once a year
③ Avoid hanging objects exceeding 15kg on a single door
5. Things to note
Common mistakes in recent consumer feedback:
- Using cooking oil for lubrication is easy to absorb dust (the recurrence rate of abnormal noise after 3 days is 82%)
- Over-tightening the screws causes the board to crack (the incidence rate is about 5%)
- Purchase replacement parts directly without measuring the dimensions (mismatch rate 37%)
Through the above structured solutions, most wardrobe noise problems can be effectively solved. If there is still obvious noise after trying, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel to check whether the cabinet structure is deformed.
