Setup (Installation)

Installing your new cabinet pull is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for optimal results:

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the cabinet door or drawer front is clean and dry.
2. Mark Drilling Locations: Using a ruler and pencil, accurately mark the two drilling points on your cabinet or drawer. The center-to-center spacing for this pull is 5.04 inches (128mm). A drilling template (not included) can assist with accuracy.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit appropriate for your screws (typically 3/16 inch or 5mm), carefully drill pilot holes through the marked points. Drill from the front of the cabinet/drawer to prevent splintering on the visible side.
4. Attach the Pull: Align the pull with the drilled holes. Insert the mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet/drawer through the pilot holes and into the threaded posts of the pull.
5. Secure the Pull: Hand-tighten the screws until the pull is firmly secured. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the threads or damage the cabinet material.

Operating

Once properly installed, the Jeffrey Alexander Milan Plain Square Pull operates by providing a sturdy and comfortable grip for opening and closing cabinet doors and drawers. No special operation is required beyond standard use.

Maintenance

To maintain the finish and appearance of your pull, follow these simple guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the pull regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws. If the pull feels loose, gently tighten the screws with a screwdriver.
• Avoid Impact: Protect the pull from sharp impacts or heavy objects that could scratch or dent the surface.

Troubleshooting

Most issues with cabinet pulls are minor and easily resolved:

• Pull is Loose: If the pull wiggles or feels loose, the mounting screws may have loosened over time. Gently tighten the screws from the inside of the cabinet or drawer. Do not overtighten.
• Difficulty Installing: Ensure that the pilot holes are drilled to the correct size and are perfectly aligned with the pull's posts. If screws are too short for your cabinet thickness, longer 8/32 machine screws may be required (sold separately).
• Scratches on Finish: Minor surface scratches may occur with use. Avoid using abrasive materials during cleaning to prevent further damage. Deep scratches typically cannot be repaired without refinishing.
