Troubleshooting
Handle is wobbly after installation.
Ensure screws are fully tightened. Check that the cabinet/drawer material is solid enough to hold the screws firmly. If using on very thin material, consider reinforcing the back.
Screw does not fit or is too short/long.
Screws are typically sold separately and depend on the thickness of your doors/drawers. Ensure you are using screws of the correct length for your specific furniture.
Matt black finish seems to be fading or scratching.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials. Stick to a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Check if the scratching is from misuse, such as catching keys or jewellery against the handle.
