Casket Corners
Casket Corners
Casket corners account for 24 items. A corner protects and finishes the corner of a casket, where damage is most likely in handling and where a finished appearance matters most. Corners are cast or formed fittings, finished to match the handles on the same casket in gold, nickel, antique brass, antique copper or chrome, or in metallised plastic colours where the casket uses plastic decoration.
Corners are fittings, not carrying bars. Their specifications are model-specific: a finishing corner is specified by finish and size, while a corner that forms part of a load path is specified by finish, size and model rating together. This site does not assign a swing-bar rating to a corner, because the two families serve different functions.
A buyer ordering corners should state the casket size and the handle finish first, so that the corner matches both. A corner in the wrong finish is visible at once, and a corner that does not fit the casket's corner profile is a fitting problem that cannot be fixed by changing the finish.
The minimum order quantity varies by product, lead time is typically 30 days after order confirmation, and payment is by telegraphic transfer or letter of credit. Shipments leave Wenzhou by full or less than container load. For repeat orders, confirm the finish again.
Matching a corner to the casket profile
Matching a corner to a casket means matching it to the casket's corner profile, not merely to its size. A corner that fits the profile will sit flush and protect the corner, while a corner that does not fit the profile will stand proud, leave a gap, or fail to protect the corner at all. The profile should be described in the enquiry, with the casket size, so that the sales team can confirm that the corner fits before it is ordered.
A corner's finish should match the handles, and it should be checked against a physical sample, because a corner in a different finish from the handles is visible at the most prominent part of the casket. For repeat orders, the corner model, finish and profile should all be cited, so that the next order supplies the same corner, not merely a corner in the same colour.
Checking a corner sample
A corner sample should be checked against the casket it is for, not against a catalogue photograph. Place the corner on the casket's corner, check that it sits flush, that it does not rock, and that its finish matches the handles. A corner that sits flush and matches the finish can be ordered with confidence, while a corner that rocks or mismatches should be raised before a quantity is ordered, because a corner fitted to the wrong profile cannot be corrected by changing its finish. Keep the sample corner with the casket sample, labelled with the model, finish and order date, so that a repeat order can cite it precisely.
Before payment, confirm the model number, material, finish, quantity, lead time and any load-test record for your order with the sales team.
