Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Oil Rubbed Bronze Knobs

When installing or setting up Oil Rubbed Bronze (ORB) knobs, a few common challenges may arise:

  1. Alignment Issues: Ensuring accurate alignment of the knobs can be a challenge, especially if you are replacing existing knobs. Using a template or measuring carefully can help with this.

  2. Sizing Concerns: Making sure the knobs fit the pre-drilled holes or drilling new holes of the right size can be a challenge. Measure the holes accurately before purchasing the knobs.

  3. Hardware Compatibility: Sometimes the screws or bolts provided with the knobs may not fit the existing hardware or may be too long/short. Check compatibility before installation.

  4. Proper Tightening: Over-tightening the knobs can cause damage to the cabinet or drawer. Be sure to tighten them securely without applying excessive force.

  5. Maintenance and Care: ORB finishes can be sensitive to certain cleaning products or abrasive materials. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for care and maintenance to prevent staining or corrosion.

  6. Quality Concerns: Ensure that you are purchasing knobs of good quality to avoid issues such as fading, chipping, or peeling of the finish over time.

By being aware of these common challenges and taking appropriate measures during installation, you can successfully set up Oil Rubbed Bronze knobs for your furniture or cabinets.
