Also, I should probably point out that really simple knobs on drawers have been increasing in popularity lately. When we have really small drawers, (think 12″ or under), we may use a knob if a pull doesn’t fit.

Then, I center the hole on that line and that’s where I install the hardware.īUT, (yes, you knew there was a but coming), there are times when we will use cabinet knobs on drawers.
And as far as placement is concerned, I like to imagine a line that extends across the bottom rail of the cabinet. Knobs: For the most part, we only use knobs on cabinet doors. Sources: Amerock Cup Pull, Amerock Bar Pull
Lastly, if you have tall drawers, you can either center them in the overall drawer, or install them on the top rail. As a general rule of thumb, if your drawer is 30″ or wider, I like to use two cup pulls. For really wide drawers, we always recommend using two cup pulls, and then evenly space them. For trash pullouts, I will center the cup pull on the top rail of the door (make sure you center the overall cup pull on the rail, not the screw holes, or else you’ll end up with a cup pull that is too high). The only times I won’t install cup pulls in the center of the drawer slab is if A) it’s a trash pullout, B) you have a really wide drawer or C) you have a really tall drawer. If you have a 5 piece drawer (top and bottom rails, inside panel, and side rails) you want to make sure the hardware itself will fit (centered) in the middle panel before purchasing and installing. So now that you know what types of cabinet hardware there is, the next question is where do you use them?Ĭup Pulls: Cup pulls are only ever used on drawers, and I like to center them in the middle of the drawer slab. Sources: Knob | Bar Pull | Cup Pull | Latch They are usually more substantial because they are used for built–in paneled appliances, so you need something a little more heavy duty. And just as an FYI, if you see the term appliance pull floating around, those are basically larger versions of bar pulls. There are a few other ones, such as concealed pulls, pendants, and specialty knobs, but those aren’t as common, so today we’re focusing on three of the most common types: cup pulls, knobs, and bar pulls. Cup pulls, knobs, pulls (also known as bar pulls), and latches. While there are a plethora of options, most cabinet hardware can be sorted into 4 primary categories. But the perfect cabinet hardware can add SO much personality to your room (we call it the jewelry for cabinets)…so today we hoping to clear up alllll of your questions and simplify the selection process. Cabinet hardware is a small detail that can cause a lot of headaches because there are SO many options and decisions to make around them.
