Hardware Drawer Knobs

Installing cabinet hardware?

Ok, this may be a "duh" question but when putting on NEW hardware to cabinets and drawers that didnt have any prior, how do you measure. Do you put them in the center of the drawer face? And how do you know where to put them on the cabinet doors? I have knobs for the cabinets and handles for the drawers. Or should it be the other way around? Thanks!

Did you know that you can buy a plastic template that perfectly positions the knob or handle on the door. Scroll down until you see the carpenter kneeling down with a green plastic template positioned on the door.

I bought mine at Lowe's. It puts the knob or handle in the same place every time. No guesswork, no mis-measurements.

This template, alas, didn't work for my IKEA "two-screw" handle because of the strange width I'd selected.

As far as the drawer, center the knob (left to right) and be consistent for each drawer.

Good luck. I hope your cabinets look great with their new hardward.
