Here are the steps to follow for proper installation：
Step 1: Measure and mark door panels
Before installing the handle, the door panel needs to be measured and marked. Decide where you want the handle to be placed and mark the center of the area with a pencil. Make a slot in the middle of the side of the door panel along the direction of the handle, with a slot width of 2.5-3mm.
Step 2: Apply glue to the slots
Next, apply glue to the slot you created. Make sure the glue you use is suitable for wood and metal surfaces. Just apply a small amount of glue, just enough to hold the handle in place.
Step 3: Align and secure handles
Now you can align the handle with the slot. Make sure the handle is properly aligned with the center of the marked area. Once aligned, snap it into place to secure it. Apply some pressure to make sure the handle is securely attached.
Installation Tips:
1. Precision is key
When installing aluminum cabinet handles, precision is key. Make sure door panels are measured and marked accurately. It is crucial to ensure that the handle is installed straight and aligned with the center of the marked area.
2. Use the right tools
You will need to use a router or cutting tool to create grooves in the door panel. It is recommended to use a router bit as it allows you to make more precise cuts. Make sure the router bit is the correct size to match the width of the handle.
3. Choose the right size
Pay attention to the cabinet door data and pre-cutting processing data when installing. Make sure the handles you choose are the right size and shape for your cabinet doors. It's important to choose handles that will keep your cabinets balanced. Therefore, it is necessary to compare the length of the handle and the door panel. If the handle is too long, it needs to be cut according to the size.
4. Leave a door gap when installing the handle.
When installing the handle, a door gap needs to be reserved. If the door is single-door, the door gap should be reserved: 1.5mm or more.
For double doors, leave a door gap of more than 3mm.
Other notes:
Be careful to avoid scratching with sharp objects and avoid contact with corrosive objects. It is only suitable for indoor use. Please wipe it with a towel when cleaning and wiping.
