FAQs
What material is the handle made from?
The handle is made from solid brass, ensuring durability and a premium feel.
How do I clean the brass handle?
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For best results and to maintain shine, use a specific brass polish occasionally.
What is the width of this handle?
The handle measures 9.5 inches in width.
Does this handle come with screws?
Typically, cabinet hardware includes the necessary mounting screws. Please refer to the product packaging or specific listing details for confirmation.
Can I use this handle on outdoor furniture?
While solid brass is durable, it may tarnish and develop a patina when exposed to outdoor elements. For outdoor use, regular maintenance and potentially a protective coating would be necessary.
Is the gold finish lacquered?
The product description does not specify a lacquer finish. Solid brass will naturally oxidize and can be polished to restore its shine.
What is the weight of the handle?
The handle weighs approximately 150.0 grams.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels loose after installation
Ensure the screws are fully tightened. If the holes are stripped, you may need to use slightly larger screws or wood filler to create a secure fit.
Scratches or discoloration on the brass finish
For minor scratches, try a brass polish designed to buff out imperfections. For discoloration (tarnish), use a dedicated brass cleaner following product instructions. For deep scratches, professional refinishing might be considered.
Screws are too short/long for the material thickness
Source appropriately sized screws from a hardware store. Measure your material thickness and purchase screws that allow for a secure grip without protruding excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mark Placement: Determine the desired location on your drawer or cabinet door. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the center points for drilling.
