"Your Cabinet Hardware"

Cabinet hardware is on of the easiest ways to add a splash of color to your kitchen. There is a large selection of new knobs and other cabinet hardware on the market today. See examples of the range of different cabinet hardware below.

Changing your cabinet knobs and drawer pulls is a simple process if you replace the knob with the same attaching pattern you may not even have to drill any holes if you can use a screw driver you can change the look of your kitchen with new cabinet hardware.

Generally there are two different mounting patterns for cabinet knobs and drawer pulls a single screw and a double screw mount. See below.

If your existing cabinet hardware is the single screw mounting type you can easily replace the old knobs with new hardware of the same mounting configuration, simply remove the screw from the backside and replace the old knob with your new knob and screw.

The problem arises when replacing cabinet hardware with the two screw mounting system. The problem is holes if you are using new cabinet doors obviously this is not a concern but with old cabinet doors we do not want any holes showing. If you are repainting your doors you can fill the old holes before you paint then you can use any type of new cabinet hardware you like. However if you have solid wood doors you may want to use new cabinet hardware that will mount in the original holes.
