FAQs

What material is this handle made from?

This handle is made from solid brass, ensuring durability and a premium feel. It is also free from impurities.

What is the size of the handle?

The handle measures 6.5 inches in length and features a D-shape design with an integrated backplate.

How do I install this handle?

Installation involves screwing the handle and backplate to your cabinet or drawer through pre-drilled holes. Standard cabinet screws are typically used.

How should I clean and maintain the handle?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. A mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying. Brass polish can be used to restore shine if desired.

Can I mix and match this handle with other hardware?

Yes, this handle is part of a collection with a consistent gold finish, designed to be mixed and matched with other Foundryman hardware for a seamless look.

Does the brass tarnish or change color?

Solid brass naturally develops a patina over time, which is a form of oxidation that can add character. If you prefer a highly polished look, you can use a brass cleaner to maintain its shine.

What is the weight of the handle?

The handle weighs approximately 0.2535 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose after installation

Ensure screws are fully tightened. Check if the mounting surface (cabinet door/drawer) is thick enough for the screws. If not, consider using shorter screws or installing inserts.

Scratches appear on the surface

Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth and a brass polishing compound. For deeper scratches, professional refinishing or replacement might be necessary.

Color variation from other hardware

While designed for a consistent finish, slight variations can occur due to the handmade nature. Order all needed pieces at once to minimize differences. Contact customer support if significant discrepancies arise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Installation is straightforward, typically requiring two screws (often included or compatible with standard cabinet screw sizes) to attach the handle and backplate through pre-drilled holes in your cabinet or drawer. Ensure you have appropriate tools like a screwdriver.

Compatibility: This handle is designed for use on standard cabinet doors and drawers. Its 6.5-inch length makes it versatile for various sizes. It is part of a collection with a consistent gold finish, allowing for easy pairing with other Foundryman hardware like knobs, pulls, or hooks.

Care: To maintain the luster of the solid brass, clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
