Thank you for your help on proper placement of knobs and pulls on kitchen cabinets. This was the only helpful website I could find when I "googled" my search.
I will be sure to reference this site on my next home improvement project.

Dear Tim, Thank you for your helpful site that didn't ask for $12.95 for additional info, or to sign up for a membership. I have had new cabinets for 8 months and have been trying to decide on whether I want knobs or pulls, and then what kind (without breaking the bank). Your site told exactly how to position the knobs and a simple installation method. Now I only need to pick out suitable knobs. I can go with copper like the backsplash, black to go with the counter or oak to go with the cabinets. I saw some knobs in oak with black inserts that looked sharp for less than $3 each. Thanks again, Jane

Tim,

Thanks for the helpful advice on proper knob placement. I especially appreciate the 'how to' advice. We are having our cabinets installed tomorrow and now I feel much more informed.

Another tip for not exploding through the back of the door when drilling the hole is to grip a scrap piece of wood, like a 2x4, to the back of the door.

Mr. Carter...

OOOh.. OOOh.. OOOh!

I think that the placement guidelines placed together here are perfect and I am just about to use these instructions as I drop in more than 38 knobs on my upper cabinets in my house.

I wanted to let you know that I did my lover cabinets and drawers differently than suggested and they worked out quite well....

On the doors, I placed them in an easy to reach spot... I located them at the center point on the vertical and horizontal frame in the corner opposite the hinge side of the door. This provided me with a 1-3/8" set back from each edge.

On the Drawers, I centered them horizontally but also raised them a 1/4" from the vertical center as they look better as you look down at them and also from the other side of the room in addition to them being that closer to grabbing. I just thought you might have a comment on that and I also thought your readers might want to look at their cabinets with these positioning modifications to see if it works for them!?

Thanks for your help, Johnny
