FAQs
What material is the Alexander & Wilks Marco Cupboard Pull Handle made from?
The handle is constructed from solid brass.
How is the handle supplied?
It is supplied as a single unit, complete with the necessary fixings for installation.
What sizes are available for the Marco Cupboard Pull Handle?
The handle is available in three `centre-to-centre` sizes: 128mm, 160mm, and 224mm.
What finishes can I choose from?
The handle comes in four finishes: Antique Brass, Black, Polished Chrome, and Satin Brass.
What are the exact dimensions of the 160mm version?
The 160mm version (AW837-160) has a total length of 180mm, a `centre-to-centre` measurement of 160mm, and a projection of 30mm.
Is this handle suitable for outdoor use?
While made of brass, it is primarily designed for indoor cabinetry. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may affect the finish.
How do I clean the black finish?
Wipe the black finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the surface.
Troubleshooting
Screws do not align with existing holes.
Verify the `centre-to-centre` measurement of the handle matches the hole spacing on your cabinet. If there's a mismatch, you may need to drill new holes or use a filler for existing ones.
Handle feels loose after installation.
Ensure the screws are fully tightened. If the holes are stripped, consider using longer screws or a wood dowel and glue to reinforce the hole before re-inserting the screw.
Finish appears to be tarnishing or discolored (for non-black finishes).
This can occur with brass finishes if exposed to moisture or certain chemicals. Clean gently with a soft cloth and consider a suitable metal polish. Ensure the area is dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:
- For the Black finish, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- For other finishes like Antique Brass or Polished Chrome, use specialized metal polish suitable for the material if necessary, following the polish manufacturer's instructions.
