Hardware & Fixture Care Guide
Hardware & Fixture Care Guide
Taking care of your craftedfittings hardware regularly can help preserve its finish and functionality.
Metal Fixtures (Stainless Steel, Chrome, Nickel)
Wipe surfaces regularly using a soft, damp cloth. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
Do not use abrasive sponges or strong acidic chemicals unless the product's care instructions specifically recommend them.
Brass and Copper Fittings
Use a specialized brass or copper polish to maintain a bright shine, or allow them to develop a natural patina over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to excess moisture.
Moving Parts (Hinges, Drawer Slides, Valves)
Operate moving mechanisms gently. Avoid forcing parts and follow the product's installation and operating instructions. Apply a suitable lubricant periodically if necessary.
General Maintenance
- Install hardware on stable, appropriate surfaces using proper anchors.
- Do not over-tighten screws, which may strip threads or damage finishes.
- Periodically check and tighten accessible screws and bolts.
- Follow the recommended weight capacity for brackets and load-bearing fixtures.
Protecting Your Hardware
Keep sensitive indoor finishes away from prolonged outdoor exposure where possible. Use only cleaning products suitable for the specific metal or coating.
Care Instructions
Always refer to the product-specific care and installation instructions supplied with your purchase before cleaning or maintaining the hardware.
