FAQs
What material is the drawer pull made from?

Regular maintenance with a household wax polish is required to help prevent rusting.

What is the purpose of the card frame?

Troubleshooting
Screw shearing during installation
Ensure a pilot hole is drilled before inserting the screw. Use hand-tightening only; do not use a power drill or screwdriver.
Rust appears on the drawer pull
This indicates exposure to moisture. Clean off any rust with a soft cloth and apply a household wax polish regularly to prevent recurrence. Relocate to a drier environment if possible.
Drawer feels stiff or difficult to open/close
Check that the pull is securely fastened but not overly tightened. Ensure the drawer slides smoothly on its runners independently of the pull.
Card frame is loose
Gently try to secure the frame by hand if it appears to be a separate component. If it is integral and loose, contact customer support.
