How To Put Knobs On Cabinets

Knobs are a great way to add a personal touch to your cabinets. They come in a variety of styles and finishes, so you can find the perfect ones to match your décor. Installing knobs is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to put knobs on cabinets:

1. Gather your materials.

You will need the following materials:

Knobs
Screwdriver
Drill (optional)
Measuring tape or ruler
Pencil

2. Measure and mark the knob placement.

Use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the distance between the center of the cabinet door and the edge of the door. Divide this number by two to find the center point of the door. Mark this point with a pencil.

3. Drill a pilot hole (optional).

If you are using a drill, drill a pilot hole at the center point of the door. This will help to prevent the wood from splitting when you insert the screw.

4. Insert the screw into the knob.

Apply a small amount of wood glue to the screw threads. Insert the screw into the back of the knob.

5. Insert the knob into the door.

Align the knob with the center point of the door. Insert the screw into the pilot hole (or the door if you did not drill a pilot hole). Tighten the screw until the knob is secure.

6. Repeat steps 2-5 for all of the knobs.

Once you have installed one knob, you can use it as a template to mark the placement of the remaining knobs. Repeat steps 2-5 for all of the knobs.

7. Enjoy your new knobs!

Your new knobs are now installed and ready to enjoy. They will add a touch of style and personality to your cabinets.

Tips

If you are installing knobs on a painted surface, be sure to use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screw. This will prevent the paint from chipping.
If you are installing knobs on a metal surface, use a drill bit that is the same size as the screw. Be sure to apply a small amount of oil to the screw threads to prevent the metal from rusting.
If you are installing knobs on a glass surface, be sure to use a special drill bit designed for glass. Also, be sure to apply a small amount of masking tape to the surface of the glass before you drill to prevent it from shattering.
