Installation Instructions
The Alno A6904-PA pull is designed for easy and concealed installation. Follow these general steps for mounting your new cabinet pulls.
- Prepare Tools: Gather necessary tools including a drill, drill bits appropriate for your cabinet material and screw size, a measuring tape, a pencil, and a screwdriver.
- Mark Mounting Points: Carefully measure and mark the desired location for your pull on the cabinet door or drawer. Ensure the marks are level and consistent for all pulls. The center-to-center measurement for this pull is 8 3/4 inches.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the mounting screws, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Drill straight through the cabinet material to prevent splitting.
- Attach Pull: Align the pull with the drilled holes. Insert the provided screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer and thread them into the pull.
- Secure Firmly: Hand-tighten the screws until the pull is secure. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the screws or damage the cabinet material.

Care and Maintenance
To maintain the beauty and finish of your Alno pulls, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing agents, as these can damage the finish.
- Finish Patina: Alno hardware features living finishes that may naturally patina over time with use. This change in coloration is a natural process that enhances the unique beauty of the hardware.
- Avoid Moisture: Prolonged exposure to moisture can affect the finish. Dry the pulls immediately if they become wet.
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If a pull feels loose, gently tighten the screws with a screwdriver.
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. Do not overtighten.
- Finish Discoloration: As noted, some finishes are designed to patina naturally over time. This is a characteristic of living finishes and not a defect. If unexpected discoloration occurs, ensure no harsh chemicals or abrasive materials have been used for cleaning.
- Difficulty Opening/Closing: If the cabinet door or drawer itself is difficult to open or close, the issue may not be with the pull but with the hinges or drawer slides. Consult the manual for your cabinet hardware.
