Placing Your Knobs and Pulls
While there’s no real wrong way to arrange your hardware, some con gurations work better than others. Here are a few placement ideas:
UPPER CABINETS
For knobs, mount the knob just slightly higher than the corner of the door.
For pulls, place the top hole 1/3 of the height of the door.
LOWER CABINETS
For knobs, mount the knob just slightly lower than the corner of the door.
For pulls, place the bottom hole 1/3 of the height of the door.
DRA WERS
For knobs and pulls, align
the holes in the center of the drawer.
For bail pulls and cup pulls, align the holes so that the mounted hardware will sit in the center of the drawer. For bail pulls, this will place the holes slightly higher than center. For cup pulls, this will place the holes slightly lower than center.
WIDE DRAWERS
Longer pulls are recommended for oversize drawers, pots/pans drawers and appliance drawers. However, two knobs or two pulls can be mounted instead of one long pull. Mount long pulls in the center of the drawer. For two knobs or pulls, center the hardware 1/3 of the width of the drawer.
PANTRY, APPLIANCE AND OVERSIZE CABINET DOORS
Mount the hardware at the elbow height of an adult. This will make it comfortable to use, and allow children to reach the pull. Depending on the height of the door, this may or may not put the pull in the center of the height of the door.
