5. Setup and Installation
Proper installation ensures the stability and appearance of your cabinet pull. Follow these steps carefully.
Tools Required:
- Measuring Tape or Ruler
- Pencil or Marker
- Drill with appropriate drill bit (typically 3/16" or 5mm for cabinet hardware screws)
- Screwdriver (Phillips head)
Installation Steps:
- Measure Center-to-Center: The Liberty cabinet pull has a 3-inch (76mm) center-to-center spacing. This refers to the distance between the centers of the two screw holes. Ensure your cabinet or drawer front has existing holes or mark new holes at this exact distance.
- Prepare Cabinet/Drawer: If replacing old hardware, remove it. If installing on new cabinetry, determine the desired placement for the pull. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the two drill points precisely 3 inches (76mm) apart.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill with the appropriate drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes through the marked points on your cabinet or drawer front. Ensure the drill is perpendicular to the surface to prevent angled holes.
- Attach the Pull: Align the pull with the drilled holes. Insert the provided mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet or drawer, through the holes, and into the threaded receivers on the back of the pull.
- Tighten Screws: Using a Phillips head screwdriver, gently tighten the screws until the pull is secure. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the screw threads or damage the cabinet material.

6. Maintenance
To maintain the finish and functionality of your Liberty cabinet 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 soft iron finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If the pull feels loose, gently tighten the screws with a Phillips head screwdriver.
7. Troubleshooting
Pull is Loose:
If the cabinet pull becomes loose, use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet or drawer. Do not overtighten.
Difficulty Aligning Holes:
Ensure that the drilled holes are precisely 3 inches (76mm) center-to-center. If the holes are slightly off, a template or a drilling jig can help ensure accuracy for future installations.
