Setup and Installation

Installation of the Larkin Cabinet Bar Pull is straightforward. Ensure you have the necessary tools before beginning.

Tools Required:

• Measuring tape or ruler
• Pencil
• Drill with appropriate drill bit (typically 3/16" or 5mm for cabinet hardware)
• Screwdriver (Phillips head)
• Optional: Cabinet hardware jig for precise hole placement

Installation Steps:

1. Mark Hole Locations: Using a measuring tape or a cabinet hardware jig, carefully mark the two points on your cabinet door or drawer where the screws will pass through. The center-to-center distance for this pull is 160 mm (6.3 inches).
2. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill with the appropriate drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes through the marked points. Ensure the holes are straight and clean.
3. Prepare Screws: Select the appropriate screw length (1" or 1-3/4") for your cabinet thickness. If using breakaway screws, score them at the desired length and snap off any excess.
4. Attach Pull: Align the pull with the drilled holes. Insert the screws from the inside of the cabinet door/drawer through the pilot holes and into the threaded posts of the pull.
5. Tighten Screws: Using a Phillips head screwdriver, gently tighten the screws until the pull is secure. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the cabinet or the pull.
6. Verify Alignment: Check that the pull is straight and securely fastened.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your cabinet pull, follow these simple cleaning guidelines:

Troubleshooting

• Loose Pull: If the pull becomes loose over time, gently retighten the screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer using a Phillips head screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
• Difficulty Installing: Ensure that the pilot holes are drilled correctly and are aligned with the pull's posts. Verify that the chosen screws are the correct length for your cabinet thickness.
