Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the mounting hardware included?
Yes, the product is supplied with all the necessary mounting hardware required for standard installation.
Can these be used in a kitchen?
Yes, they are durable enough for kitchen use, though their shape makes them better suited for cabinets that are not in high-traffic, snag-prone areas.
Are these knobs comfortable to grip?
They offer a solid, substantial grip, though they have a more textured and decorative shape than standard round knobs.
Will the antique finish fade over time?
The finish is designed to be durable, but like all decorative finishes, it will last longer if kept away from excessive moisture and abrasive cleaning agents.
What is the size of the knob?
The knob measures 60mm in length.
Can I paint these knobs?
While possible, painting them would cover the intentional antique finish. If you do choose to paint, ensure you use a metal-bonding primer first.
Troubleshooting
Knob feels loose or rotates after installation
Check the mounting bolt from inside the drawer. Use a screwdriver to tighten the bolt securely, ensuring it is flush against the wood surface.
Surface looks dusty or dull
Wipe with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth and immediately buff dry to preserve the integrity of the antique finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is designed to be a quick one-person job. Simply remove your existing hardware, insert the provided bolt through the back of the drawer or door, and tighten it into the rear of the knob. Ensure you do not over-tighten, as cast iron can be brittle if subjected to excessive torque. To maintain the knob, use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the finish begins to dull, a very light application of furniture wax can restore its luster. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip or degrade the antique coating.
