Using the Atlas Alcott Pull is a breeze. First, make sure you have the mounting hardware that comes with the pull. Then, align the pull with the pre - drilled holes on your cabinet or drawer. Insert the screws through the holes in the pull and tighten them gently using a screwdriver. Make sure it's firmly attached but don't over - tighten to avoid damaging the pull or the furniture. When it comes to maintenance, simply wipe the pull with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it looking new. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. Also, if you notice any loose screws over time, just tighten them up. This way, your Atlas Alcott Pull will serve you well for a long time.
