Møbelhardware

Møbelhardware refers to the hardware components used to assemble and operate furniture. The term encompasses fittings, fasteners, and decorative elements that enable opening, closing, adjusting and supporting furniture structures. The most common items include hinges, drawer slides, handles or knobs, catches and latches, and brackets and supports.

Hinges for cabinet doors include concealed, butt, and furniture hinges, while drawer systems use ball-bearing or roller slides, often with soft-close or push-to-open features. Other fittings include stay supports, gas springs for lift mechanisms, and mounting brackets.

Handles and decorative fittings provide grip and visual style and include knobs, pulls, and handles, as well as corner brackets and feet. Locking devices such as cam locks and drawer locks are used in some cases. A range of smaller components—screws, dowels and other threaded fasteners—secure parts together and mount hardware to panels.

Materials and finishes: Metal components are typically steel, stainless steel, zinc alloys, brass, or aluminum, with coatings such as nickel, chrome, brass, black oxide, or powder coatings to improve wear resistance and appearance.

Standards and installation: Many products follow dimension standards and hole patterns, including European 32 mm systems, and specify load ratings for hinges and slides. Correct installation and compatibility with furniture panels are essential for performance.

Applications: Møbelhardware is used in residential and office furniture as well as cabinetry and wardrobes. The sector includes mass-produced fittings and specialized, bespoke fittings, with ongoing attention to durability, ease of installation, and sustainability.
