I cannot find pulls to fit my hole pattern. What can I do?
If your hole pattern is smaller than your new pull size, then use a backplate. The backplate will cover the old holes. If your hole pattern is larger than your new pull size, then you can use a backplate or one of our many pulls with stems large enough to cover the old holes.

Our products are made of brass, zinc die-cast, aluminum, steel, wood, plastic, acrylic, crystal, ceramic and porcelain.
In order to buy hinges, I need to know what type of doors I have on my cabinets. Please explain the door types:
There are 3 basic door types: 1) FLUSH- door is inset into the frame so the door and frame are flush with each other. 2) INSET – part of the door insets into the frame and part overlays the door. In other words, the back of the door is routed out around the edge, usually 3/8" by 3/8". 3) OVERLAY- the back of the door is flat and it overlays the frame.
What is a load rating on a drawer slide?
A load rating determines the maximum amount of weight a set of drawer slides can handle under normal usage. Load rating is based on an 18" drawer slide; remove so load rating for short and longer drawer slides may vary slightly.
How do I know what kind of drawer slides that I have?
The best way to determine what type of drawer slide that you have is to match up the color, length and hole patterns with available slides.
Does Amerock hardware need cleaning and how would I do that? How about Brass?
When necessary, decorative hardware is best cleaned with warm water, mild soap and dried immediately with a soft cloth.

How Much Weight Can A Hinge Hold?
We recommend the number of hinges to use based on a ¾” thick cabinet door height. 1-35”= 2 hinges, 35-65” =3 hinges, 65-85”= 4 hinges and 85-100” = 5 hinges.
How Do I Measure Cabinet Overlay?
The cabinet door overlay is the distance that the cabinet door extends past the door opening in all four directions in order to cover it. However, this distance may not be exactly equal on all four sides. So in order to accurately measure this:

1. Close the cabinet door.
2. Use a pencil to make a light mark on the cabinet frame using the edge of the door as your guide. Make sure you do this on the hinge side of the door.
3. Open the door and measure from that mark over to the edge of the face frame. NOTE: This measurement is normally in the range of 1/4" to 1-1/2".

NOTE: This measurement is normally in the range of 1/4" to 1-1/2".
