This guide is for homeowners, interior designers, and builders looking to enhance kitchen or cabinet aesthetics with premium hardware. The FOUNDRYMAN D-shaped brass handles offer a timeless, handmade quality that adds elegance and a unique touch to any cabinetry. A key consideration is their solid brass construction, which means they will develop a natural patina over time, a characteristic that complements classic decor but may require occasional maintenance for a consistent shine.

The handles are made from solid brass.
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For a polished finish, use a dedicated brass polish.
Yes, solid brass naturally develops a patina over time, which adds character. This aging process is normal and expected.
Yes, the handles come with fitting screws.
These are 4.5-inch D-shaped handles.
While they are designed to match other FOUNDRYMAN brass hardware for a seamless look, mixing finishes can be a design choice. The gold tone is versatile.
These handles are primarily designed for indoor cabinetry. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may accelerate patina and potentially cause corrosion.
Verify the thickness of your cabinet door or drawer front. If the provided screws are not suitable, you may need to source screws of the appropriate length from a local hardware store.
Ensure the screws are tightened securely, but do not overtighture to avoid stripping the wood. Check that the pilot holes are appropriately sized for the screws.
This is often a sign of the natural patina developing. If an even finish is desired, clean with a brass cleaner and polish according to the product's instructions. For a rustic look, embrace the natural variations.
Setup: Installation is straightforward. Ensure you have the correct drill bit size for pilot holes. Align the handle with the pre-drilled holes on your cabinet or drawer, and secure it using the provided fitting screws from the inside.
Compatibility: These handles are designed for standard cabinet and drawer installations. Ensure your cabinet material is suitable for screw fixing. The 4.5-inch length is a common size, fitting most standard drawer and door spacings.
Care: To maintain the intended finish, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brass or affect its natural aging process. For those who appreciate the patina, no specific care is needed beyond dusting. If a polished look is desired, a brass polish can be used periodically, following the product's instructions.
