A comprehensive installation guide for Corston cabinet knobs, cup handles, and pull handles. Includes step-by-step instructions for drilling, sizing screws, and mounting hardware safely.

Table of contents

Quick Guide from the Manual

This document provides installation instructions for various Corston cabinet hardware, including knobs, Oxford extra-small handles, Elm cup handles, and cabinet pull handles. The process generally involves marking the hole position, drilling, sizing the screw to your cabinet thickness, and mounting the handle.

Tools Required

  • Drill
  • Drill bit (5mm or 7mm depending on the product)
  • Two pairs of pliers
  • 4mm hex key

General Installation Steps

  1. Marking and Drilling: Mark the desired location for the handle. Drill a clearance hole using the appropriate drill bit size (5mm or 7mm).
  2. Sizing the Screw: Measure your cabinet thickness. Use pliers to crimp the screw at the required interval to create a fault line, then snap the screw to the correct length. Ensure the screw protrudes by approximately 8mm.
  3. Applying Threadlock: Apply a small amount of the provided threadlock to the screw.
  4. Mounting: Screw the handle into position. Important: Do not use an impact driver, as it may irreparably damage the product.
  5. Adjustment: If the handle is not straight, loosen the screw, straighten the handle, and retighten.

Cabinet Knobs Installation

For cabinet knobs, use a 5mm drill bit. If provided, stick the double-sided sticker onto the back of the knob before installation.

Oxford Extra-Small Handle Installation

For Oxford extra-small handles, use a 7mm drill bit to drill the holes.

Elm Cup Handles Installation

Use the template provided on page 8 to mark hole positions. Use a 5mm drill bit for installation.

Cabinet Pull Handles Installation

For pull handles, mark the horizontal line based on the screw-spacing distance: 128mm (small), 224mm (medium), or 384mm (large). Use a 5mm drill bit for the clearance holes.

Important Warnings

Do not use an impact driver to install any Corston cabinet hardware. Always ensure the screw is cut to the correct length for your specific cabinet thickness to avoid damage or improper fit.

Practical help

Common problems

The knob or handle is not straight after installation.

Loosen the screw, straighten the handle, and retighten.

The screw is too long for the cabinet thickness.

Use two pairs of pliers to crimp the screw at the required interval to create a fault line, then snap the screw to the correct size.

Before use

  • Verify your cabinet thickness (common sizes: 12mm, 16mm, 18mm, 22mm).
  • Ensure you have a drill and the correct drill bit (5mm or 7mm).
  • Have two pairs of pliers ready for snapping screws.
  • Check that you have the provided threadlock.
  • For pull handles, confirm the screw-spacing distance (128mm, 224mm, or 384mm).
