How to determine if the material of a wooden door is genuine?

To determine the authenticity of the wooden door material, the following methods can be used comprehensively:

1.Observe patterns and cross-sections

Pattern: High quality wooden doors have clear and natural patterns, with symmetrical patterns and knots on both sides, but not necessarily the same size. If the pattern is too uniform, it may be a leather or sticker door.

Section: The original wooden door section shows clear wood patterns without any splicing marks. The internal material can be observed through the unlocking hole or hinge hole.

2.Touch the surface and edges

Surface: Gently touch the door panel with the back of your hand, the surface of the genuine wood is smooth and free of particles, and the edges are polished and rounded. If the paint surface scratches, it may be an industrial waste coating.

Edge: The edge of the original wooden door is seamless, and there may be traces of splicing on the laminated door.

3.Smell the scent

Odor: Solid wood doors have a faint woody aroma. If you smell a pungent chemical odor, it may be due to solid wood composite or molded doors that use a large amount of adhesive.

4.Weigh it

Weight: Solid wood doors are relatively heavy as they are a single piece of wood. If the door is too light, it may be filled with material or density board.

5.Listen to the sound

Sound: Knocking on the door panel, the solid wood door produces a rich and even sound. If the sound is hollow, there may be hollow positions.

6.Check the certificate and quality inspection

Certificate: Merchants are required to provide inspection reports on moisture content (preferably 8% -12%) and environmental standards (such as E0 level).

Quality inspection: Check the national quality certificate and environmental protection label (such as China Environmental Label).

7.Observing carvings and details

Carving: The original wooden door has strong three-dimensional carving, while the decal door is relatively flat.

Details: Check whether the lock holes and hinge holes are sharp, and whether the seams are detailed.

8.Open hinge hole

Internally: Observe whether the substrate and surface are layered from the hinge hole, and ensure that the inner and outer patterns of the genuine wood are consistent.

9.Check the sealing strip and door frame

Sealing strip: High quality wooden door sealing strip is soft to avoid leaving gaps after closing the door.

Door frame: Confirm whether the material of the door frame is consistent with that of the door leaf, and avoid using density board door frames.
