Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or experienced DIYer using basic hand tools. Power down any adjacent electrical components if working near wired cabinetry or lighting. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat before securing the backplate to avoid misalignment with the knob hardware. Follow manufacturer fastener guidance to avoid over-tightening, which can crack or deform the backplate.
