FAQs
What is the total length of the handle?
The handle measures 100mm in length.
Is this handle suitable for outdoor barn doors?
While the powder coating offers some protection, it is primarily designed for interior use. For exterior applications, ensure it is protected from direct, prolonged exposure to harsh weather.
Does the handle come with mounting screws?
Mounting requirements can vary based on your door thickness; please check the product packaging to confirm if screws are included or if you need to source specific hardware for your door material.
Can this be used on bathroom cabinets?
Yes, but ensure the area is well-ventilated to keep the iron components dry and prevent any potential surface oxidation over time.
What is the finish of the metal?
It features a durable, matte black powder-coated finish that provides an authentic, antique-forged look.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation
Check if the mounting screws are fully tightened; if the pilot hole is too large, use a wood filler to reset the screw or move to a slightly larger screw size.
Visible surface scratches
Use a matte black touch-up paint specifically formulated for metal surfaces to blend the area, then buff lightly with a dry cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Hammer and Tongs handle is straightforward, typically requiring standard wood screws compatible with the pre-drilled mounting points on the handle base. Ensure you use a pilot hole before driving screws into hardwood to prevent the material from splitting.
Compatibility:
- Surface Materials: Ideally suited for wood, composite board, and MDF.
- Use Case: Best for interior storage, cupboards, and lightweight decorative doors.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Simply wipe down with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the powder-coated finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check that the mounting screws remain tight, especially if the handle is used on high-traffic kitchen doors.
