Setup and Installation
The TK806 Kara Cabinet Pull is designed for easy installation and includes all necessary mounting hardware (screws). Proper installation ensures stability and longevity.
Required Tools (Not Included):
- Drill
- Drill bits appropriate for your cabinet material and screw size
- Measuring tape or ruler
- Pencil
- Screwdriver (manual or power)
Installation Steps:
- Measure and Mark: Determine the desired location for your pull on the cabinet door or drawer. Use a measuring tape to accurately mark the two center-to-center mounting points (8-13/16 inches apart). Ensure marks are level and consistent across all installations.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the mounting screws, carefully drill pilot holes through the marked points. Ensure you do not drill completely through the front of the cabinet if installing on a thin panel.
- Attach the Pull: Align the cabinet pull with the drilled holes. Insert the provided mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer through the pilot holes and into the threaded posts of the pull.
- Tighten Screws: Using a screwdriver, tighten the screws until the pull is securely fastened. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the screws or damage the cabinet material.

Operating the Cabinet Pull
Once installed, the 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.
Care and Maintenance
The Top Knobs TK806 Kara Cabinet Pull is constructed from durable materials designed for lasting performance. To maintain its appearance and functionality:
- Cleaning: Wipe the pull regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing agents, as these can damage the Honey Bronze finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws for tightness. If a pull feels loose, gently tighten the screws to prevent wobbling or detachment.
- Avoid Impact: Protect the pull from sharp impacts or excessive force, which could cause dents or scratches.
Troubleshooting
Loose Pull:
If the cabinet pull becomes loose, gently tighten the mounting screws from the inside of the cabinet door or drawer. Do not overtighten.
Scratches or Finish Damage:
Minor scratches may be carefully buffed with a soft, dry cloth. For significant finish damage, contact customer support for advice. Avoid using abrasive materials that could worsen the damage.
