This image displays four individual Hickory Hardware P2173-BI Craftsman Cabinet Pulls. Each pull features a curved design with a hammered texture on the mounting feet, finished in black iron. They are arranged diagonally against a white background.

Setup and Installation

The Hickory Hardware P2173-BI Craftsman Cabinet Pull is designed for easy installation. Basic tools are required.

Required Tools:

• Measuring tape or ruler
• Pencil or marker
• Drill with appropriate drill bit (typically 3/16" or 5mm for cabinet hardware screws)
• Screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on screw type)

Installation Steps:

1. Determine Placement: Decide on the desired location for the pull on your cabinet door or drawer. Ensure consistent placement if installing multiple pulls.
2. Mark Drill Points: Using a measuring tape, mark the two screw hole centers on the cabinet surface. The center-to-center measurement for this pull is 3.78 inches (96mm). Double-check your measurements for accuracy.
3. Drill Pilot Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes at the marked points. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw diameter to prevent splitting the wood. Drill straight through the cabinet material.
4. Attach the Pull: Align the pull with the drilled holes. Insert the included screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer through the pilot holes and into the pull.
5. Tighten Screws: Using a screwdriver, tighten the screws until the pull is securely fastened. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the screws or damage the cabinet material.

Operation

The Hickory Hardware P2173-BI Craftsman Cabinet Pull is designed for simple and reliable use. To operate, grasp the pull firmly and apply gentle, even pressure to open or close your cabinet door or drawer. Avoid excessive force or twisting motions, which can stress the mounting points.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your cabinet pulls.

• Cleaning: Clean the pulls regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry with a clean, soft cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish of the iron.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically check the tightness of the mounting screws. If a pull feels loose, gently tighten the screws with a screwdriver.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your cabinet pull, refer to the following common solutions:

• Pull Feels Loose: If the pull wiggles or feels unstable, the mounting screws may have loosened over time. Gently tighten the screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer using a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
• Difficulty Opening/Closing: Ensure the pull is installed correctly and not interfering with the cabinet frame or adjacent doors/drawers. If the issue is with the cabinet mechanism itself, consult the cabinet manufacturer's instructions.
• Scratches or Finish Wear: Minor scratches can sometimes be touched up with a suitable black iron finish repair kit, if available from the manufacturer. For significant wear, replacement may be considered.
