Troubleshooting
Screws do not align with handle holes.
Verify that the pre-drilled holes on your cabinet or drawer are exactly 160mm apart. If not, this handle will not fit without re-drilling.
Handle is loose after installation.
Ensure the M4 fixing bolts are fully tightened. Check that the bolts are the correct length for your door thickness. If using longer screws, ensure they are compatible and properly secured.
Finish appears to be tarnishing or discolored.
The antique brass finish may naturally change over time. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents. If significant discoloration occurs, it may indicate prolonged exposure to moisture or specific chemicals.
Provided screws are too short or too long.
The included 25mm screws are suitable for standard door/drawer thicknesses. If your doors are significantly thicker or thinner, you may need to purchase M4 screws of an appropriate length separately.
