I am not sure. We have about 18 of these in our house and haven't experienced anything like you are describing.

I installed several of these and there's no sound when I open or close them. Either something is binding in the door or the mechanism may be bad.

I did not have that problem. I installed about a dozen of them in my home and had no problems. Double check the alignment and pull off the door and see if you can hear the binding without it being installed.

The knob on the cabinet has a feature which allows it to turn if someone attempts to force it open. That prevents the handle from breaking off. Gently turn the handle as far as possible in the counter-clockwise direction. When it reaches the end of its range you should feel and hear a slight "click". It should re-engage and work normally after that.

I haven't, but I can see where it could happen if the instructions aren't followed, or if you're not careful. Putting the right amount of tension requires finding the right spot, the right distance from the door for the base. Once I found that spot, it's simple and safe for my (cheap) knob. The bar's mechanism is pretty sturdy, so if you crank on the handle, the doorknob will give before the ratchet mechanism. Just follow the instructions, find the right spot on the floor, and you'll be fine.

I'm finding mine kinda tough to open, but it depends on the size of the doorway, I think. If you can get it so the handle is locked in to one of the holes I think it'll be tricky. I have mine in a larger entrance and it's fine, but the smaller entrance the lock handle was sticking straight up and was easier to open.

2 of mine were like that. I just worked with them back and forth until it released the slit. Also try a sharp knife. They are just stiff. Hope this helps!

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

I too had a tarnished handle and it worked for us. My original door handle was a Entak and that company went out of business too. I measured the hole placement and it worked. We did have to drill some new holes and cut the opening hole a little but it looks awesome and works so well.

I had the same problem and fixed it by bending the door so that it was tight. Did it by hand and now the door is held firm but not to tight. This corrected the issue. BTW, we love the game.

We thought ours was dying until we read a question about the door latches being the issue (I had to slam the door shut to get it started). If i'ts a bit hard, spray the outside hooks holes with a lubricant and work the hooks up and down a bit to allow it to penetrate the mechanism. Did it with a lubricant (not silicone). Our 3-yr-old microwave is working like a charm again: no need to slam the door anymore!

I have these handles founded the drawers in my closet ... and they look amazing but they are big!!! In kitchen they would be nice in my opinion too. If you have the opportunity to return it you risk nothing. I hope my opinion will help You.

I did not have that problem with mine. It sounds like the upper and lower tracks that the doors slide in are not parallel. If you've assembled it correctly then your only recourse may be return it for a non-defective unit.

Don't know what sound yours is making, but I would make sure that the tines are clear from anything that could be wrapped around them, and make sure the housing is tight. I have not had any problems with mine at all. Definitely call the company if it continues.

After a while, I started noticing that when the handles are locked together there isn't enough pressure applied to the cutting mechanism. I sometimes have to squeeze the handles together like with a conventional opener in order to get the opener to work. For me, this problem started happening after maybe 50 cans. That said, it is _still_ better than any other can opener out there.

I just got my unit also about two weeks ago and notice a somewhat annoying creeking and clicking sound with every rotation. I have written to the sellers about this but have not received any reply. Will have to call to get an answer.

I did not experience any of these issues. Some of the dividers fit a little tighter than others, take your time and they will go in. My handles sees to be on solid. I have two and am very happy with them.

This sound is not normal. I had the same issue with both my speakers when they arrived. I was too curious to send them back, so I took out the speaker and tweeter and found a piece of wood corner brace that had came unglued. I also noticed the crossovers came loose from the inside of the enclosures and were hanging by the wires... I remounted the crossover, took out the loose corner pieces, and put the speakers back together and they woked fine. I'm still using them, and I like the way they sound, but I am disappointed in the build quality.
