Installing Flush Pull Door Handles enhances the aesthetics of your door and makes opening and closing it more convenient. Here is a step-by-step guide to installing Recessed Door Handles:

Required tools and materials:

Embedded handle

tape measure

chisel

Trimming machine (optional, for more precise cutting)

Drill bit and drill rod

screwdriver

Level

Safety goggles

Sandpaper (optional)

Steps for installing recessed door handles:

Choose a location:

Determine where you want to install the recessed handle on the door. Typically, handles are installed about 36 inches (91 cm) from the ground, but this can vary depending on personal preference and the height of the door.

Mark the location:

Use a measuring tape to find the center point of the door’s height and lightly mark it with a pencil.

Measure the width of the recessed handle and mark that width on the door to ensure it is centered.

Outline the cutting lines:

Place the recessed handle on your marked door panel. Use a pencil to trace the outline along the edge of the handle for cutting.

Chisel or milling cutter:

If using a chisel, carefully chisel the area within the outline to the same depth as the embedded handle. Be sure to keep the edges clean and smooth.

If you have an edge trimmer, you can use it for more precise cuts. Set the edge trimmer’s depth to match the handle thickness, and then cut along the contour line.

Trial assembly of the handle:

After cutting, place the embedded handle into the groove, ensuring it is properly installed. If necessary, adjust it using a chisel or trimmer.

Drilling and mounting screws:

Most recessed handles have screw holes for mounting. Use the handle as a template to mark the locations of the screw holes.

Drill guide holes for the screws to prevent the wood from cracking.

Install the handle:

Place the embedded handle into the groove and align it with the guide hole.

Secure the handle in place using screws. Be careful not to overtighten, as this may damage the door or the handle.

Final Steps:

If necessary, grind down the rough edges around the cut to ensure a smooth surface.

Clean the area around the handle to remove dust or debris.

Test handle:

Open and close the door several times to ensure the door handle operates smoothly and is securely installed.

# # Tip:

Always wear safety goggles when using power tools.

If you are unsure about the measurement or cutting method, consider consulting a professional or watching instructional videos for visual guidance.

If you are installing multiple handles, please use a consistent measurement method to ensure uniformity.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install an embedded handle on your door. Enjoy!
