Leather Maintenance

All pulls leave our factory with an initial coating of leather dressing. We recommend periodic application of a good leather conditioner such as Mermac Mink Oil. Frequency of maintenance depends on exposure to weather and wear. Mermac will darken the leather about the same as a drop of water. Test a small spot prior to using to verify the slight color change that naturally occurs is appealing.

Finish Cleaning Instructions

CAUTION: Always try the recommended procedure in a small inconspicuous spot prior to treating the entire article to verify it works on your particular application and you are satisfied with the results.

NOTE: Frequent cleaning extends the life of all finishes.
