Troubleshooting

  • Ensure your thread is clean.
    • Rusty or painted threads may prevent the bed knob fitting to the thread. Even a small amount of detritus can prevent the thread from turning.
    • Clean threads with wire wool.

Bedknob Troubleshooting

 

    • Check out the video below – the thin layer of paint stops the thread turning. The clean thread turns easily. The painted end will only turn once.
  • If your thread is not quite a match, but the bed knob will turn enough to hold, consider reducing the height of your thread.
  • As a new product the colour is likely to be different to your exisiting decoration.
    • Either polish your brass bed or age the new brass.
  • The colour of brass always changes over time.
