Full details
The Brass Bee Round Backplate is designed for homeowners and interior designers looking to add a refined, vintage-inspired aesthetic to their cabinet and drawer hardware. Its primary benefit is providing a clean, protective finish that enhances the visual depth of standard drawer knobs while preventing surface wear on your furniture. However, it is important to note that this backplate is 36mm in diameter, so users should verify their existing knob size to ensure a proportionate look before installation.

FAQs
What is the diameter of the Brass Bee Round Backplate?
The backplate measures 36mm in diameter.
Can I use these on any drawer knob?
These are designed to be compatible with most standard knobs, though you should ensure the base of your knob is smaller than 36mm for the best aesthetic fit.
Do I need special tools to install this?
No, you only need a standard screwdriver to remove your current knob and secure it back in place with the backplate.
Does the backplate include mounting screws?
The backplate uses your existing knob's hardware to secure itself in place.
How should I clean the bronze finish?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could strip the finish.
Troubleshooting
Backplate sits unevenly against the drawer surface.
Ensure the screw hole is clear of debris or excess paint that might prevent the backplate from sitting flush.
Knob feels loose after adding the backplate.
The added thickness of the backplate may require a longer mounting screw; replace the existing screw with one that has adequate thread length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and typically only requires a screwdriver. Simply unscrew your existing knob, place the backplate against the drawer front so the central hole aligns with the existing screw hole, and re-attach your knob through the backplate. To maintain the bronze finish, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads. Instead, wipe the surface periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and oils. If the finish becomes dull, a light buffing with a soft cloth is usually sufficient to restore its luster.
