How do I clean the gold finish?

Troubleshooting
The handle feels loose or wobbly
Tighten the grub screw on the neck of the knob using an Allen key to ensure it is firmly attached to the spindle.
The knob does not latch properly
Check that the door mortice latch is aligned correctly with the strike plate on the door frame.
Stiff turning motion
Check that the spindle is not too long or that the screws securing the escutcheon are not causing the mechanism to bind.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill and a screwdriver. Begin by ensuring the spindle is centered correctly before tightening the grub screws. These knobs are compatible with most standard interior door mortice latches. To maintain the finish, wipe the knobs periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the gold-tone plating. If the knob becomes loose over time, check the grub screw on the side and tighten it using a suitable Allen key.
