Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to determine the satisfaction levels of the participants regarding the problems experienced by the accessories and hardware used in the production and assembly of interior fittings. For this purpose, the opinions of the participants were determined through a questionnaire developed according to the purpose of the study. The data obtained from 206 residential users through the questionnaire were evaluated with statistical methods and discussed within the findings section in a systematic order. As a result, it was determined that a significant portion of the participants experienced various problems such as creaking noise, rusting, aging, breakage and deterioration related to the accessories and hardware used in interior fittings depending on the duration of use, and that these problems increased in long term. Most of the accessories and hardware which caused such problems, were mainly the drawer rails, handles, furniture legs, fasteners, furniture wheels and stone hinges.
