FAQs
What material is the edge pull made from?
The edge pull is made from solid bronze, containing a minimum of 85% copper.
How is the polished bronze finish achieved?
The finish is created by aging the solid bronze and then hand-polishing it to highlight lighter surface areas against darker, detailed parts.
Does this product come in a set?
No, the edge pulls are sold in singles, meaning you will need to purchase one for each side of a door or for each individual door.
What type of screws are included?
The edge pull is supplied with matching stainless steel wood screws.
What are the overall dimensions of the pull?
The overall diameter is 34mm, the internal grip diameter is 18mm, and the projection from the door edge is 13mm.
Is this product suitable for exterior doors?
While the finish is lacquered for protection, it is primarily designed for interior sliding or pocket doors. For exterior applications, consult with hardware specialists regarding specific environmental resistances.
Can I paint or alter the finish?
It is not recommended to paint or alter the finish, as this will damage the hand-finished patina and the protective lacquer, voiding the intended aesthetic and durability.
Troubleshooting
Edge pull does not sit flush
The mortice may not be deep or wide enough. Carefully enlarge the recess in the door edge until the pull fits flush.
Screws do not secure the pull tightly
Ensure the pilot holes are appropriately sized for the screws. If the wood is soft, consider using wood filler or a slightly larger screw for better grip.
Finish appears uneven or tarnished
The hand-finished nature provides a unique patina. If significant tarnishing occurs, it may indicate the lacquer has been compromised. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Difficulty sliding the door after installation
Ensure the edge pull is not protruding beyond the door edge and is not obstructing the track or guides. Check that the door is properly aligned on its track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Marking: Place the door in a stable position. Use the edge pull as a template to mark the outline for morticing on the edge of the door where the pull will be recessed.
- Morticing: Carefully chisel out a recess (mortice) within the door edge to match the dimensions of the edge pull. The depth should accommodate the pull so it sits flush or near-flush with the door's surface.
- Test Fit: Insert the edge pull into the mortice to ensure a snug fit. Adjust the recess as needed.
- Attachment: Once satisfied with the fit, secure the edge pull using the provided matching stainless steel wood screws. Pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended to prevent wood splitting.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for wooden doors intended for sliding or pocket door mechanisms.
- Requires a door thickness sufficient to accommodate the morticed recess and the pull itself.
- Designed to integrate with doors where a flush handle is required.
Care:
- To maintain the polished bronze finish, regularly wipe the pull with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the protective lacquer and the hand-finished patina.
- The robust lacquer is designed to preserve the finish, but gentle care will extend its aesthetic appeal.
