What are tricuspid wing cabinets, an overview of models

With all the variety of furniture, a three-wing swing cabinet remains popular for several centuries. Its first model dates from the second half of the eighteenth century. The novelty could only afford wealthy people. Her price was too high. And this is quite justified: the materials used for the manufacture of furniture were natural: valuable wood species, decorated with complex carvings, precious stones, ivory inlay. Today, this model has become a classic that has not lost its popularity. Manufacturing materials, design methods have changed, but practical value has remained. The model is used for large apartments, where its most valuable qualities are dimensions, universal design, spaciousness, convenience, luxurious design.

Features and design of doors

In large apartments, where there are no problems with living space, a cabinet with three doors is installed, despite the peculiarity of its doors, which require additional space. Here you can conveniently place all kinds of clothes. To keep the furniture in its original form longer, an important feature is taken into account in its production - the correct calculation of swing doors:

• an important detail in the manufacture of door leafs is their optimal width. It cannot exceed the size of the side wall of the housing. If the dimensions do not correspond to this parameter, with an empty cabinet and open sashes, the structure, having lost rigidity, may crumble. The maximum width of the door is 650 mm. The reason for this is its weight. The indicated value is optimal, since excess weight will cause the loops to not withstand it. Wide doors will cause problems when opening, especially in small rooms;
• no less important feature of the design of swing doors are door hinges. The large dimensions of the door panels suggest the presence of 3 hinges (2 should be attached at the bottom of the door, 1 - at the top). In cases where different loops are installed, quick wear of the loop with the smallest closing moment can occur.

The modification of the accessories and the hinge manufacturer should not be different, since different modifications have a different level of collapse. Given this feature, the same fasteners are used to secure the doors.

Types of Cabinets

Despite the emergence of the popular model cabinets of the compartment type, the three-door swing cabinet does not give up its positions. It is a luxurious decoration of large bedrooms and living rooms, containing the entire wardrobe. Cabinets have three varieties:
