FAQs
What material is the Lucia Reeded Cupboard Knob made from?
The knob is constructed from solid brass.
What does 'Dark Bronze PVD' finish mean?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a durable coating process that applies a metallic finish. Dark Bronze PVD offers a rich, dark bronze color that is highly resistant to scratches, corrosion, and tarnishing.
Are backplates included with the knob?
No, backplates are not included and must be purchased separately.
What sizes are available for this knob?
The Lucia Reeded Cupboard Knob is available in two diameters: 35mm and 29mm.
How many knobs are supplied per purchase?
The knobs are supplied individually (in SINGLES).
What is the warranty period for the PVD finish?
Alexander & Wilks PVD products, including this knob, come with a 25-year guarantee.
Can I use this knob on exterior doors?
While the PVD finish is durable, this knob is primarily designed for interior cabinet and furniture use. For exterior applications, specific weather-resistant hardware is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Knob is loose after installation.
Ensure the fixing screw is tightened securely from the inside of the drawer or cabinet. If the screw is too short for the furniture thickness, obtain a longer screw of the same thread size.
Finish appears to be tarnishing or discolored.
The Dark Bronze PVD finish is highly durable. If discoloration occurs, it may be due to harsh chemical cleaners. Try cleaning gently with a damp cloth. Contact the manufacturer if the issue persists, as it may be a rare defect.
Difficulty in screwing the knob onto the fixing screw.
Ensure the screw is straight and properly aligned with the threaded hole in the knob. Check for any debris in the thread of either the screw or the knob.
