Hinges are made of aluminum, iron, copper and stainless steel, which are more suitable for indoor light doors and windows.

In addition to the general 90 degree angle, 127 degrees, 144 degrees and 165 degrees are matched with corresponding hinges to make various cabinet doors have corresponding extension.
- Heavy bearing doors and windows are suitable for door hinge installation
