Troubleshooting

Handle is wobbly after installation.

Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened. Check if the pilot holes were drilled correctly and are aligned properly.

Matt black finish appears scratched.

Inspect the area closely. Minor scuffs may be buffed out with a very soft cloth. For deeper scratches, contact customer support for potential replacement options.

Difficulty closing cabinet door with handle.

Verify the handle is mounted securely and perpendicular to the door. Check if the cabinet door itself is aligned correctly and not binding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds a touch of handcrafted, artisanal quality to cabinetry.
  • Functional design specifically aids in closing cabinets from the outside.
  • The matt black finish is contemporary and easy to maintain.
  • Subtle decorative pattern offers a modern aesthetic without being overpowering.
  • Sturdy brass construction ensures longevity.

Cons

  • Designed primarily for external cabinet closing, limiting universal application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine Placement: Decide on the ideal position on your cabinet door, ensuring it aligns with the edge for effective closing.
  2. Mark Holes: Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the exact locations for the screw holes based on the handle's 320 mm hole center measurement.
  3. Drill Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for the provided screws.
  4. Attach Handle: Align the handle with the holes and secure it firmly using the provided screws. Ensure screws are tightened snugly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the cabinet or the handle.

Compatibility:

This handle is designed for use on wooden cabinet doors. It is most effective on doors where pulling from the outside is necessary. Ensure the cabinet door structure is robust enough to support the handle's weight and the force applied during closing.

Care:

  • Clean the handle regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and smudges.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the matt black finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Periodically check that screws remain tight to ensure the handle is secure.
