With all the variety of furniture, a three-wing swing cabinet is popular for several centuries. Its first model dates from the second half of the eighteenth century. Only wealthy people could afford the novelty. Her price was too high. And this is entirely 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 dimensions, universal design, spaciousness, convenience, luxurious design remain its most valuable qualities.

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 furniture retained its original appearance longer, its production takes into account an important feature - 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, rapid 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 different levels of collapse. Given this feature, the same fasteners are used to secure the doors.
