Installation Instructions

The knob screws are purposely left longer to accommodate antique and older furniture and doors which can be very thick.  Also, the front panels of drawers often have extra support pieces making them extra thick to add strength.  In many cases, installations need extra screw length.  Others need very little length.  So the screws are meant to be adjusted in size.

To customize the length of the screws, handymen use a variety of tools to cut the screws.  If you know anyone who does crafts, likely they have a Dremel tool cutting wheel that does a very clean cut.  A hack saw will work but perhpas not as clean a cut.  Professional installers may have other cutting tools available to them. 

To create a flush mount on the back of the cabinet door or drawer, another handy tool is electric screwdriver bit called a countersync bit.  It drills a very small half moon shaped notch into the back of a cabinet door just large enough to allow the nut to be wound back onto the screw.  The flush mount not only looks cool, but also prevents any accidental encounters with the end of the screw.

Good luck with your installation.  If you need any further information, please don't hesitate to contact me.  I'll be happy to help you.
