How to Choose Cabinet Knobs and Drawer Pulls
The right cabinet hardware depends on how the piece will be used, the style of the room and the existing finish of your cabinets or furniture. Cabinet knobs are a classic choice for doors and smaller drawers, while drawer pulls and cabinet handles are easier to grip on wide drawers, pantry doors and built-ins.
For a coordinated look, many projects use knobs on cabinet doors and pulls on drawers. For antique furniture, hutches, bathroom vanities or period-style kitchens, choose hardware that matches the age and character of the piece rather than only the newest trend.
Cabinet Knobs, Pulls, Handles and Backplates
Van Dyke's carries cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, cabinet handles, appliance pulls, bin pulls, bail pulls, ring pulls, drop pulls and backplates for a wide range of restoration and remodeling projects. Glass and porcelain knobs work well for vintage kitchens, bathrooms and furniture, while brass, bronze, nickel, iron and antique-style finishes add depth to cabinets and drawers.
Cabinet backplates can be used behind knobs or pulls to add detail, cover old hardware marks or protect the cabinet surface from wear. Appliance pulls and refrigerator handles are larger-scale options designed for heavier doors and paneled appliances.
Choosing Cabinet Hardware by Finish, Style and Size
Before ordering cabinet hardware, check the mounting style and measurements. For pulls and handles, measure the center-to-center boring, which is the distance between the screw holes. If you are replacing existing hardware, matching that measurement can help avoid drilling new holes.
Finish is also important. Antique brass, oil-rubbed bronze, polished brass, nickel, black, glass and porcelain each create a different look. Choose a finish that complements your hinges, lighting, faucet, furniture details or existing antique hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cabinet Knobs and Pulls
What is the difference between cabinet knobs and drawer pulls?
Cabinet knobs usually attach with one screw and are often used on cabinet doors or smaller drawers. Drawer pulls and cabinet handles usually attach with two screws and provide a larger grip, making them a good choice for wider drawers and heavier doors.
Can I mix knobs and pulls on the same cabinets?
Yes. A common approach is to use knobs on cabinet doors and pulls on drawers. You can also mix styles when the finish, shape or period details feel coordinated.
How do I measure for replacement drawer pulls?
Measure from the center of one screw hole to the center of the other screw hole. This is called the center-to-center boring. Matching this measurement helps replacement pulls fit existing holes.
When should I use cabinet backplates?
Cabinet backplates are useful when you want extra decorative detail, need to cover old hardware marks or want to protect the cabinet surface around knobs and pulls.
What cabinet hardware works best for vintage or antique furniture?
For vintage or antique furniture, look for hardware with period-appropriate shapes and finishes, such as bail pulls, ring pulls, drop pulls, glass knobs, porcelain knobs, antique brass or oil-rubbed bronze.
