Learn How To Install Kitchen Cabinet Door Knobs

By: Henry.. Home | Home-and-Family


Installing Kitchen cabinet door knobs is not difficult and tough, if you are having the required tools at hand to do the work

Some of the important things that you will need for installing Kitchen Cabinet Door Knobs are measuring tape, power drill, cabinet knobs along with screws for fitting, pencil, and drill bit having same diameter as that of the screws of knobs.

Before starting with the installation process of kitchen cabinet door knobs, it is important to choose the area, where you intend to place or fix the knobs.

1. For overhead kitchen cabinets, it is ideal to place the knob at the bottom of your cabinet, so that you can reach there easily. Cabinets present at the floor level need to be placed in such a way that they are at the top.

For cabinets assigned at eye level, you may opt to place the knobs at the middle of your cabinet.

2. If you are planning to place the knob at the middle of your cabinet, you need to make use of measurement tape for measuring the cabinets length. Then, you need to divide the numeral by two.

Next, you need to measure that from top to far down of cabinet and then mark the desired spot.

3. After this is done, measure from the edge where your door opens. You need to make the concluding markings. If two cabinet doors meet, make sure that the markings on both the doors level each other. Make adjustments if needed.

4. Load the drill bit. See to it that the bit which you are about to use attunes with the size of the screw along that you got with the new knob. Try holding both the knobs, so that you can see the differences and similarities.

5. Now drill one hole through the wooden door and pull again. Then insert screw and fix the knob. For the opposite door, repeat the procedure in the same way.

6. To install the knob at bottom or top of the door cabinets, find a place on the door, where you wish to insert it. However, you need to be careful that it is away from the cabinet doors edges. Again, mark the place, where you wish to place the knob.

7. While installing the knob at the opposite door, measure it with the help of a measuring tape for the markings marked on your first door. Using the measurements of first cabinet door, do the markings on your second door.

See to it that the markings you made no both the doors are equivalent. Finally, drill holes, insert screws, and fit the knobs.
