Using this Deltana cabinet pull is easy. Just align it with the pre - drilled holes on your cabinet door and secure it with the provided screws. When using, don't apply excessive force as it's solid brass but still can be damaged by extreme pressure. For maintenance, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth regularly to keep it shiny. If there are stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then dry it thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the finish. Store the pull in a dry place if you're not installing it right away to prevent rusting.
