- Position the Handle: Place the handle on the desired location on your door. Use a measuring tape to ensure it is level and at a comfortable height.

- Drill Pilot Holes (Optional but Recommended): For wood doors, it is recommended to drill small pilot holes at the marked points to prevent wood splitting and ensure easier screw insertion. Ensure the drill bit size is smaller than the screw diameter.
- Attach the Handle: Align the handle with the marked or drilled holes. Insert your chosen mounting screws into the holes and tighten them with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the handle or the door surface.

6. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Amig Sliding Door Handle, follow these simple guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the handle regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight. If any screws become loose, gently tighten them to prevent wobbling or detachment.
- Avoid Impact: Protect the handle from strong impacts or heavy loads, which could cause structural damage or deformities.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Amig Sliding Door Handle, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Handle Feels Loose:
Solution: Check the mounting screws. If they are loose, tighten them carefully with a screwdriver. Avoid overtightening. - Difficulty Moving Door:
Solution: This issue is typically related to the door's track or rollers, not the handle itself. Inspect the door track for obstructions or damage, and ensure rollers are clean and functioning. - Scratches or Finish Damage:
Solution: Minor scratches may be touched up with appropriate paint if desired. To prevent future damage, avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive materials.
