Review on πŸšͺ Sleek Hillman Hardware Essentials 852724 Satin Nickel Door Knocker - 7-Inch Elegance by Marc Tufa

Revainrating 5 out of 5

(2) 1/4 " holes and (1) 1/2 " hole required to install

. This is important as the simple minimum instructions call for 3/16" holes and 1/2" holes. Installation Instructions >>> Check the back of the hammer and note the distance between the holes. Three marks on the ruler are enough, e.g. B. 3 inch, 5 13/32 inch and 7 1/4 inch. Medium - 5 3/8 inches plus some more. Use a spirit level to mark a straight line down the center of the front of the door where the hammer will sit. Mark three holes. Press in the three marks with a hole punch to carefully start drilling. I used a jig to ensure the holes were drilled at 90 degrees. Two screws go into the sleeve. Attach the sleeves to the back of the hammer. Tighten them with pliers. Then insert the sleeves and hammer through the two holes in the door. You will find that the 3/16 inch diameter hole is not big enough. 1/4 inch is fine. Attach two screws through the back of the door and then attach the peephole. I used a metal ruler to tighten the gap. You'll need something thick to tighten (kitchen knife or fork, etc.). Finished. I used the Wolfcraft Drill Guide that I bought from Revain for about $30 to drill the holes perpendicularly. https://www.amazon.com/wolfcraft-4525404-Muilt-Angle-Attachment-Drills/dp/B000JCIMEA/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=wolfcraft+drill+guide&qid=1615490852&sr=8-1
