Setup and Installation
This cabinet knob is designed for straightforward installation. Each unit includes the necessary mounting hardware: 8/32 screws with a standard length of 1 inch (25 mm), featuring a quadrex pan head. These screws are compatible with most common melamine thicknesses, typically ranging from 5/8 inch to 3/4 inch (16 mm to 19 mm).
Installation Steps:
- Determine Spacing and Placement: Before drilling, decide on the optimal placement for your knob on the cabinet door or drawer. Consider the center-to-center spacing if installing multiple pulls or the diameter for single knobs.
- Use a Drilling Template: To ensure accurate and consistent placement, utilize a drilling template. This tool simplifies marking the precise location for the screw hole.
- Drill Holes: Carefully drill a pilot hole at the marked location. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for the included 8/32 screws to prevent splitting the wood or creating an oversized hole.
- Install Knob: Insert the screw through the back of the cabinet door or drawer and thread it into the knob. Tighten securely until the knob is firm, but avoid over-tightening to prevent damage.

Operation
To operate the cabinet knob, simply grasp the knob and pull or push the cabinet door or drawer to open or close it. Ensure the knob is securely fastened to allow for smooth and reliable operation.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Richelieu cabinet knob, follow these guidelines:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the Brushed Nickel finish.
- For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
- Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screw and re-tighten if necessary to ensure the knob remains secure.
Troubleshooting
- Knob is Loose: If the knob feels loose, gently tighten the screw from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer using an appropriate screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
- Knob Does Not Sit Flush: Ensure the mounting surface is flat and free of debris. If the screw is too long for the cabinet thickness, it may prevent the knob from sitting flush. Verify the cabinet thickness is within the recommended 5/8 in to 3/4 in (16 mm to 19 mm) range for the included screws.
- Difficulty Opening/Closing Cabinet: Check if the knob is properly aligned and not obstructing the cabinet's movement. Ensure the cabinet hinges are functioning correctly.
