Brass Lifting Handles are mounted to the sides of chests providing a convenient method of moving furniture. Today they are mostly used as a decorative accent. Although these handles are reproductions, brass is a naturally soft metal therefore we recommend lifting furniture from underneath. A special built in stop keeps handles from lifting more than 90 degrees. Crafted of heavy brass. Use on blanket chests, cedar chests and boxes.*

Measure Chest Handles

• Boring: distance between center of mounting hole to center of adjacent mounting hole.
  
• If replacing handles:  replacement-handle-boring must match actual boring measurement in drawer.
• Overall Size: width and height of handle at widest point.

Attach Brass Lifting Handles

• Position handle on chest
• Insert screws through mounting holes, from chest interior and screw into posts
• Thread size of machine screws is generally 8-32. Length supplied is determined by manufacturer. While supplied screw length is generally useful, occasionally a different size is required. Please let us know if you need a specific length. To determine the correct size: measure wood thickness and add 1/4".
