Setup and Installation
Proper installation ensures the longevity and functionality of your cabinet pulls. Follow these steps carefully.
Tools Required:
- Pencil
- Measuring Tape or Ruler
- Drill with 3/16 inch drill bit
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
- Optional: Alignright Template AN0251C-CL-U (sold separately) for precise hole marking.
Installation Steps:
- Measure Center-to-Center: Determine the desired placement for your pull. The Kentworth pull requires 8-13/16 inches (224mm) center-to-center spacing for the mounting screws.
- Mark Drill Points: Using a pencil, accurately mark the two points on your cabinet door or drawer where the screws will be inserted. Ensure these marks are level and at the correct center-to-center distance. If using an Alignright Template, align it to the corner of the door and mark the desired base hole location, then locate and mark the corresponding center-to-center hole that matches your pull size.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using a 3/16 inch drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes through the marked points. Drill slowly and steadily to prevent splintering. Do not drill directly through any template.
- Attach the Pull: From the inside of the cabinet door or drawer, thread the mounting screws through the drilled holes. Align the pull on the exterior side and secure it by tightening the screws with a screwdriver until snug. Do not overtighten.
- Repeat: Repeat the process for all remaining cabinet pulls, ensuring consistent placement for a uniform look.

Operating Instructions
The Liberty Kentworth Cabinet Pull is designed for straightforward operation. Simply grasp the pull to open and close your cabinet doors or drawers. Ensure the pull is securely fastened to prevent wobbling or detachment during use.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the finish and appearance of your cabinet pull, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the pull regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If a pull feels loose, gently tighten the screws with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
- Avoid Excessive Force: While durable, avoid applying excessive force when opening or closing cabinets, as this can stress the hardware and cabinet.
Troubleshooting
Most issues with cabinet pulls are minor and easily resolved.
- Loose Pull: If the pull feels loose, gently tighten the mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer using a Phillips head screwdriver.
- Scratches or Damage: Minor scratches may be touched up with a matching finish pen if available. For significant damage, consider replacing the pull.
- Difficulty Opening/Closing: Ensure the cabinet door or drawer itself is functioning correctly. The pull should not impede its movement.
