Setup and Installation
The Liberty Elegant Luxe cabinet pull is designed for rear-mount installation and can be easily installed without specialized power tools. Ensure you have a measuring tape, pencil, and a screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on screw type) available.
Included Hardware:
- Two 8-32 x 1 inch screws
- Two 1-5/8 inch screws
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Surface: If replacing existing hardware, carefully remove the old pull. Clean the cabinet or drawer surface where the new pull will be installed.
- Measure Center-to-Center: The Liberty Elegant Luxe pull has a 3-3/4 inch (96mm) center-to-center screw mounting. Use a template or a measuring tape to mark the two drilling points on your cabinet or drawer front. Ensure these marks align precisely with the pull's screw holes.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill with an appropriate bit size (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.
- Attach the Pull: Align the pull with the drilled holes. From the inside of the cabinet or drawer, insert the provided screws through the pilot holes and into the threaded posts of the pull. Use the appropriate screw length for your cabinet thickness.
- Tighten Screws: Hand-tighten the screws with a screwdriver until the pull is secure. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the screw threads or damage the cabinet material.

Operating the Cabinet Pull
The Liberty Elegant Luxe cabinet pull functions as a handle for opening and closing cabinet doors and drawers. Grasp the pull firmly and apply gentle, consistent pressure to operate the cabinet mechanism.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Bayview Brass cabinet pull, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the pull regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based products, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Polishing: The Bayview Brass finish is designed to maintain its appearance. Polishing is generally not required. If desired, use a non-abrasive brass cleaner specifically designed for matte finishes, following the product instructions carefully.

Troubleshooting
Loose Pull:
If the cabinet pull becomes loose, gently tighten the screws from the inside of the cabinet or drawer using a screwdriver. Do not over-tighten.
Scratches or Damage:
Minor surface scratches may be carefully buffed with a very fine, non-abrasive cloth. For significant damage, consider replacement.
