Product Information, Care & Installation FAQ'S
Product Information FAQ's
Timber used for knobs and handles varies in colour due to its natural characteristics, including differences in species, age, growth patterns, and environmental factors. These variations contribute to the unique appearance of each wooden hardware piece, making every knob or handle one-of-a-kind.
The depth of screws required for handles may differ based on the design, as outlined in our technical drawings. Generally, the thread depth of most knobs and handles is adequate for securing 22mm or 25mm screws to doors or drawers with thicknesses of 16mm or 18mm. We will provide the appropriate screws for these dimensions, and longer screws of up to 50mm can be supplied upon request.
Regular cleaning of cabinetry handles is essential to ensure hygiene, preserve aesthetics, extend hardware life, maintain functionality, and facilitate preventative maintenance.
Care FAQ's
Common household dust, when permitted to accumulate and linger on metal surfaces, can prove to be highly corrosive over time. To prevent such damage, regular cleaning with a gentle solution of warm, soapy water followed by drying with a soft, lint-free cloth is recommended. This practice is beneficial for maintaining the integrity of various metal surfaces within the home.
Installation FAQ's
To ensure a smooth and efficient installation of your hardware, we suggest you begin by assessing the quantity of holes needed. Subsequently, carefully drill a pilot hole or holes with a 1/8" drill bit, taking care to maintain proper spacing. As a preventive measure against chipping the cabinet's surface, apply painter's tape over the targeted drilling area and remove it after the hole has been created. To avert potential damage such as stripped screws or broken mounting posts, we highly recommend manual installation using a screwdriver instead of a power drill. Should your cabinet or drawer face be thinner than usual, utilising lock washers between the wood and screw head on the inner cabinet surface can ensure secure hardware mounting. In case you experience difficulties during installation or require specific screws like break-away screws, please do not hesitate to contact us.
