Technical Support
These are the fixing screws that are needed to secure your cabinet handle or cabinet knob, they are 4mm in diameter and are available in a variety of sizes in length.
What we suggest is to measure the thickness of the door, drawer or whatever you might be fixing to and add another 3mm or 4mm to the thickness and this is the size you require, eg: an average kitchen door is 20/22mm thick so 25mm will be needed. All of our cabinet handles and knobs are supplied with 25mm screws free of charge as standard, alternative sizes are also available to purchase on our fixing screws page.
These are the distance between two fixing points of a cabinet handle or cabinet knob.
You will need a drill with drill bit ideally a 4.8mm/5mm in size, a flat or cross headed screwdriver, tape measure and about 1 hour of your time for an average size kitchen. Please DON'T use battery powered drills/screwdrivers has these can lead to the screws breaking and possibly snapping off.
The various products in polished chrome and polished nickel will match each other. The majority of other finishes will be very similar, however the antique brass and pewter finishes will vary. If you are unsure, please contact us and we can guide you. To help you we have placed items that are a very good match on as a related product on the information page of each item. Please note that a lot of products are hand finished and will vary slightly anyway.
All of our products should only be cleaned with a dry cloth or mild soapy water. Under NO circumstances should any spray bleaches or detergents be used as they will cause damage to the metal surfaces. We would therefore recommend a cleaning Microfibre Cloth.
Environment
