Required Tools (Not Included):
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Pencil
- Drill
- Drill bits appropriate for your cabinet material (e.g., 3/16 inch for wood)
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)

Installation Steps:
- Marking: Determine the desired location for the pull on your cabinet door or drawer. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the two center-to-center points (3 inches apart).

Operating Instructions
The Amerock Sterling Traditions Cabinet Pull is designed for straightforward operation. Simply grasp the pull firmly and apply gentle, consistent force to open or close your cabinet doors and drawers.
- Avoid excessive force or sudden jerking motions, which can stress the mounting hardware and the cabinet material.
- Ensure hands are clean to prevent transferring oils or dirt to the pull's finish.
- If the pull feels loose, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section for re-tightening instructions.
Care and Maintenance
To preserve the Antique Rust finish and the integrity of your Amerock cabinet pull, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the pull regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Polishing: Polishing is generally not required for the Antique Rust finish. If desired, use a non-abrasive furniture wax or a product specifically designed for matte metal finishes, applied sparingly with a soft cloth.
- Inspection: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws. Loose screws can lead to wobbling or damage to the cabinet.
