Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the stability and appearance of your cabinet pull. Ensure you have the necessary tools before starting.
Tools Required:
- Measuring Tape or Ruler
- Pencil
- Drill with appropriate drill bit (typically 3/16" or 5mm for cabinet hardware)
- Screwdriver (Phillips or Flathead, depending on screw type)
- Cabinet Hardware Jig (recommended for accuracy)
Installation Steps:
- Measure and Mark: Determine the desired location for your pull on the cabinet door or drawer. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the two drill points, ensuring they are 3-3/4" (95 mm) apart (center to center). A cabinet hardware jig can greatly assist in precise marking.
- Drill Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes through the cabinet door or drawer front at the marked locations. Ensure the drill bit is perpendicular to the surface to prevent splintering.
- Attach Pull: Align the pull with the drilled holes. Insert the provided screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer, through the holes, and into the threaded posts of the pull.
- Tighten Screws: Using a screwdriver, carefully tighten the screws until the pull is secure. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the screw threads or damage the cabinet material.

Operating
The Top Knobs M384 Bow Pull is designed for simple and reliable operation. Grasp the pull firmly and apply gentle force to open or close cabinet doors and drawers. Avoid excessive force or twisting motions, which can loosen the pull over time.
Maintenance
To maintain the finish and appearance of your cabinet pull, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the pull regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Periodic Check: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws. If the pull feels loose, gently tighten the screws with a screwdriver.
Troubleshooting
- Pull is Loose: If the pull becomes loose, gently tighten the mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer. Do not overtighten.
- Screws Spin Freely: If the screws spin without tightening, the threads in the pull or the screw itself may be stripped. Try using a slightly longer screw of the same diameter, or contact customer support for replacement parts.
- Difficulty Aligning Holes: If holes do not align, re-measure and re-mark carefully. A cabinet hardware jig can prevent this issue. If holes are already drilled incorrectly, consider using a backplate or filling and re-drilling (professional assistance recommended).
