Installing New Cabinet Hardware

Step 1. Location of Cabinet Hardware

While there are no hard, fast rules for placement of a knob or pull on a cabinet door, most cabinet makers will locate them

approximately 3"-4" above the upper non-hinged corner on base cabinets, or the lower non-hinged corner on wall cabinets.

Step 2. Mounting Cabinet Hardware

When drilling for a knob or pull, a 3/16" hole is recommended for most styles. The exception is pulls that have "studs".

A stud is simply an extension of the molded screw holes. If a pull has a stud, then a 1/4" hole is required with studs sitting

securely in the wood.

IMPORTANT Screw Information

Product

includes 8-32 x 1" long machine screws with most knobs and pulls because the typical cabinet door or drawer front

is 3/4" thick. This screw length should work in most applications. However, if your cabinet doors or drawer fronts are thicker

than 3/4", then you will need to use longer screws for mounting. Check the thickness of both a cabinet door and a drawer front

in your kitchen, as the thickness dimensions may not be the same. In general, the screw length(s) used should be 1/4" longer

than the thickness of your cabinet door or drawer front material. It is not uncommon for some drawers to be constructed with a

3/4" thick front attached to a 3/4" thick drawer box. In this situation, the total drawer thickness is 1-1/2", making a 1-3/4" long

screw necessary for mounting. These screws may be purchased from any hardware store. Please note that select hardware sold

us may include metric screws instead of UNC screws.
