Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation
Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened. Ensure the screws are the correct length for your cabinet thickness and are not stripped. If mounting on a thin material, consider using washers or reinforcing the mounting area.
Color does not match other hardware
Verify that all hardware is from The Foundryman's 'Bronze' color family, as products are designed for seamless matching. Slight variations can occur due to lighting or the unique nature of handmade items.
Difficulty aligning backplate with handle
Ensure the backplate is positioned correctly before tightening. Pre-drilling pilot holes for both the handle and backplate screws, using accurate measurements, can help with alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before installation, ensure you have appropriate tools, including a drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape. The handle typically requires two screw holes to be pre-drilled on the cabinet or drawer front. The included backplate may require additional mounting points depending on its design. Use screws that are compatible with the thickness of your cabinetry. Ensure the handle is securely fastened to prevent wobbling.
Compatibility: This handle is designed to be mounted on standard cabinet doors and drawers. It is compatible with wood, MDF, and other common cabinet materials. When mixing and matching with other hardware, The Foundryman ensures consistent color finishing across its product range.
Care: To maintain the lustrous finish of the solid brass, clean the handle with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the finish or accelerate patina development. For a deeper clean, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and drying with a soft cloth. If a patina develops and a polished look is desired, use a brass cleaner specifically designed for pure brass.
