Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure you have the following tools:
- Pencil
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Drill with appropriate drill bit (typically 3/16 inch or 5mm for #8 screws)
- Screwdriver (Phillips head)
- Optional: Cabinet hardware installation template for precise hole placement
Installation Steps:
- Mark Hole Locations: Determine the desired position for your cabinet pull. Using a pencil and measuring tape, mark two points on your cabinet door or drawer front, ensuring they are 3-3/4 inches (96 mm) apart, center-to-center. For consistency, a cabinet hardware installation template is recommended.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for the included #8-32 machine screws to prevent splitting the wood or stripping the screw threads. Drill straight through the cabinet material.
- Attach the Pull: Align the cabinet pull with the drilled holes. Insert the included #8-32 x 1 inch Truss Head Machine Screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer.
- Secure the Pull: Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the screws until the pull is firmly attached. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the cabinet material or the pull.

The included mounting hardware is #8-32 x 1 inch Truss Head Machine Screws, designed for standard cabinet thickness. If your cabinet material is thicker or thinner, you may need to acquire screws of an appropriate length.
Operating Instructions
The Amerock Wells cabinet pull is designed for straightforward operation. To open or close your cabinet doors and drawers, simply grasp the pull firmly and apply gentle, consistent force in the desired direction. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip.
Care and Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Satin Nickel cabinet pull, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Immediately dry the pull with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing agents, as these can damage the Satin Nickel finish.
- Periodic Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If the pull feels loose, gently tighten the screws with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pull feels loose or wobbly. | Mounting screws are loose. | Gently tighten the #8-32 machine screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer using a Phillips head screwdriver. Do not overtighten. |
| Scratches or damage to the finish. | Impact, abrasive cleaning, or general wear. | Minor scratches may be less noticeable with careful cleaning. For significant damage, consider replacement or contact Amerock customer support. |
| Difficulty installing screws. | Pilot holes are too small or misaligned. | Ensure pilot holes are the correct size (e.g., 3/16 inch or 5mm) and perfectly aligned with the pull's mounting points. Re-drill if necessary, or use a slightly larger bit if screws are binding. |
