FAQs
What material are these handles made of?
The handles are made from solid brass.
How do I clean these brass handles?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For a polished finish, use a dedicated brass polish.
Will the color change over time?
Yes, solid brass naturally develops a patina over time, which adds character. This aging process is normal and expected.

What is the size of these handles?

Can I mix these handles with other hardware finishes?

Are these handles suitable for outdoor use?

Troubleshooting
Screws do not fit or are too short/long.
Verify the thickness of your cabinet door or drawer front. If the provided screws are not suitable, you may need to source screws of the appropriate length from a local hardware store.
Handle feels loose after installation.
Ensure the screws are tightened securely, but do not overtighture to avoid stripping the wood. Check that the pilot holes are appropriately sized for the screws.
Uneven color or spotting on the brass.
This is often a sign of the natural patina developing. If an even finish is desired, clean with a brass cleaner and polish according to the product's instructions. For a rustic look, embrace the natural variations.

Compatibility: These handles are designed for standard cabinet and drawer installations. Ensure your cabinet material is suitable for screw fixing. The 4.5-inch length is a common size, fitting most standard drawer and door spacings.
