FITTINGS

Furniture fittings selection guide

Inserts (threaded inserts, blind, cover caps)

1. Is the cover attachable or insertable?

2. Outer diameter is an important parameter (for metal it is necessary to know the thickness of the material).

3. In the case of a threaded insert, important to know thread size (M8 etc.). and thread material (plastic, galvanized metal, stainless metal).

Levelling feet, control hardwear (nuts and screws)

1. The glides are divided into adjustable, machine, and furniture ones. The main difference is in load and adjustment capacity, lifespan.

2. Furniture glides are generally only placed on or in a pipe and have a finishing and protective function. They have no threaded part. Threaded parts are generally suitable for metal installations or machines. Does the glide/feet height have to be adjustable?

3. Does the thread of the levelling feet have to move - be the ball joint?

4. What is the material of the base (plastic, metal, stainless, bakelite, chrome, etc.) and whether it is necessary to have a non-slip base (so-called TPE base). Some pads already include an anti-slip pad by default.

5. What is the diameter of the foot base or hand screw, nut e.g. d=40mm. Also we ask for thread parameters diameter and length e.g. M8x50 mm.

6. What is the thread material (plastic, galvanized metal, stainless metal).

Washers / bushings

1. Parameters are outer/ inner diameter and bushing length. In the case of a collar bushing, we would like to know the height of the collar, in the case of a saddle bushing, in addition to the diameter of the saddle depth.

2. The color of the washer or bushing are usually black or neutral.

Industrial handles and electrical accessories for furniture

1. For industrial handles we need to know the shape, dimensions, thread parameters and material.

2. For a heat-resistant handle, we need to know how long and what temperature the handle must withstand.

3. Electrical accessories installed on furniture are usually cable organizers and bushings, for what need to know the material, color and diameter of the openings in which it is placed.

4. In the case of cable organizers, it is generally necessary to know its type and length.
