Troubleshooting
Handle is loose after installation
Ensure the fixing bolts are fully tightened. If bolts are too short for the material thickness, obtain longer M4 bolts of the same thread size.
Hole centres do not match existing ones
This handle requires 448mm hole centres. If your furniture has different centres, you will need to drill new holes at the correct spacing or choose a handle with compatible dimensions.
Matt black finish appears scratched or damaged
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For minor scuffs, gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Significant damage may require handle replacement.
Difficulty inserting fixing bolts
Ensure you are using M4 bolts and that the threads are not cross-threaded. Check that the holes in the furniture are clean and free of debris.

- Drill New Holes (if necessary): If your existing holes do not match 448mm centres, you will need to drill new ones. Ensure they are straight and accurately spaced.
- Attach Handle: Align the handle with the holes. Insert the provided 25mm M4 fixing bolts from the inside of the cabinet/drawer through the holes and into the threaded inserts on the handle. Tighten securely using an appropriate screwdriver.
Compatibility:

- Fixings: Supplied with 25mm M4 fixing bolts. Ensure these are suitable for your material thickness; longer bolts may be required for thicker doors/drawers.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the matt black finish.
