Installation Guide
Follow these steps for proper installation of your cabinet knob.
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the cabinet door or drawer surface is clean and free of debris.
- Mark the Drilling Point: For knobs, determine the desired placement. A common placement is centered on the stile of a cabinet door or in the corner of a drawer face. Use a measuring tape and a pencil to mark the exact drilling point. For multiple knobs, consider using a drilling template for consistency. The provided video demonstrates using a template to mark the precise location for drilling.
- Drill the Hole: Using a drill bit appropriate for the screw size (8/32 screws are included), carefully drill a hole through the marked point. Drill from the front of the cabinet to prevent splintering on the visible side.
- Attach the Knob: Insert the included 8/32 screw through the back of the cabinet door or drawer. Align the knob with the screw and turn clockwise until it is securely fastened. Do not overtighten.
Operation
The Richelieu Hardware cabinet knob is designed for simple and functional use. To operate, grasp the knob firmly and pull to open cabinet doors or drawers. Push to close.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Richelieu Hardware knob, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Polishing: Do not use metal polishes or waxes unless specifically designed for matte black finishes.
- Tightening: Periodically check the knob for looseness. If loose, gently tighten the screw from the inside of the cabinet until secure. Do not overtighten.
