The right knobs and pulls finish a room and make everyday use easier. We’ll help you choose pieces that suit your style and fit your cabinets.
Options For Your Space
Cabinet hardware can transform the look of a kitchen or bath, and swapping it is one of the most affordable ways to refresh a room without a major investment. It earns its keep functionally too, protecting cabinet fronts from the oils on your hands.
Whether you choose knobs or pulls, they make doors and drawers easier to open while keeping the finish looking its best.
Design Options
Hardware is one of the simplest ways to shape how a room feels, and the options run from purely decorative to hard-working, including dedicated storage, bath, and appliance handles. Most hardware falls into two families.
A knob usually has a single screw hole. Centred on a door it gives cabinets a furniture-like look; set high or low, it reads more classic. When mixed with pulls, knobs typically go on the doors.
A pull has two screw holes. It offers a bigger, easier grip, which is why pulls are a natural fit on drawers. Either can go on doors or drawers, and plenty of kitchens mix the two.
Placement really comes down to what feels right in your hand and suits the space. We’ll help you find the arrangement that fits how you move through the room.
Considerations
Beyond style, a couple of practical things are worth keeping in mind before you choose.
If your cabinets are already drilled, new hardware needs to match that hole configuration, or be large enough to cover the old holes.
It’s common for the screws included with new hardware to be too short for a full cabinet face front. Longer screws are easy to buy separately.
Hardware comes in many materials, and not every finish is available in every style. We’ll help you weigh the options.
Common Questions
A knob usually has a single screw hole, while a pull has two. Both work on doors and drawers, so the choice comes down to look and feel.
Many kitchens use both. When they’re mixed, knobs typically go on the doors and pulls on the drawers, though there’s no rule you have to follow.
If your cabinets are already drilled, new hardware needs to match the existing hole spacing or be large enough to cover the old holes. We’re happy to help you check before you buy.
Common materials include brass, zinc diecast, aluminum, steel, wood, plastic, acrylic, crystal, ceramic, and porcelain. Not every finish comes in every style.
It’s one of the most cost-effective updates you can make. Fresh knobs and pulls can change the whole feel of a room for a fraction of a full remodel.
