Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation.
Ensure all fixing screws are tightened securely. If the pilot holes are stripped, you may need to use slightly larger screws or wood filler to create a secure anchor.
Difficulty aligning the handle with pre-drilled holes.
Slightly adjust the pilot hole positions or use a file to gently enlarge the screw holes on the handle base if necessary. Ensure the handle is held straight before marking.
Finish appears scratched or damaged.
Inspect for signs of wear. Minor scuffs can be part of the hand-forged character. For significant damage, contact the manufacturer. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials.
