Alexander and Wilks Circular Backplate

Product Details

Is the Alexander and Wilks Circular Backplate suitable for standard cabinet handle fitting?

It is designed to work with compatible cabinet handle mounting set ups. If you are replacing an existing backplate or upgrading your hardware, check the fixing hole spacing on your cabinet hardware before ordering to ensure a secure, aligned fit.

Will this circular backplate help protect my cabinet door finish?

Yes. A backplate can reduce the chance of wear where the handle meets the surface, helping to keep the area around the fixing points looking cleaner over time. This can be especially useful for frequently used doors, where repeated contact can otherwise mark the finish.

What does Part No AW895 25 ABZ refer to?

Part No AW895 25 ABZ is the specific identifier for this Alexander and Wilks Circular Backplate. Using the part number when you order helps ensure you receive the correct component for your project or replacement requirement.

How do I make sure the finish matches my existing handles and knobs?

This backplate is part of a coordinated hardware range, but exact matching can depend on the finish on your current cabinet fittings. To get the closest match, compare the appearance of the backplate finish against your existing handles or knobs, or consider replacing related pieces together for a consistent look.

Can I use the backplate on both cabinets and drawers?

Backplates are commonly used wherever a handle is mounted and where you want added coverage around the fixings. As long as your cabinet or drawer construction supports the required mounting points, this circular backplate can be used to create a neater, more uniform hardware appearance.

Is it straightforward to install, or will I need specialist tools?

Most circular backplates are installed using the existing handle fixing process, typically requiring a screwdriver and careful alignment. For the smoothest result, measure carefully and test the alignment before fully tightening, so the backplate sits flat and the handle operates correctly.

Why choose a circular backplate instead of fitting the handle directly to the door?

A backplate creates a more finished look and can make the hardware feel more solid and balanced visually. If you want your cabinet project to look tidy and professional, adding a dedicated backplate helps frame the handle mount and can improve the overall appearance of your cabinetry.
