Choosing the Correct Cabinet Knobs

Selecting the right knob is a matter of coordinating knobs with the type of cabinetry you plan on upgrading. When choosing a kitchen cabinet knob, for example, ensure it matches the appearance and design of your kitchen. For example, if it is a traditional kitchen, you can go with an oak ring cabinet wooden knob or a pine cabinet wooden knob. On the other hand, if your kitchen is elegant and modern you can purchase a heavy sleek round chrome cabinet knob, faceted glass cabinet knob, or a faceted pink glass chrome-based cabinet knob.

Nickel and pewter are popular choices. The bronze knob is also antimicrobial and provides a substantial feel and look. You can also choose knobs made from crystal or glass for a bling appearance.

How to Place Cabinet Knobs

Knobs are your most basic cabinet hardware. Cabinet knobs often use a single screw and are traditionally circular or round. However, Hiatt Hardware offers knobs in all shapes ranging from T-shape to square. The cabinet knobs come in different finishes and materials and different choices ranging from crystal to wood to ceramic.

On base cabinets, knobs are placed 2.5” to 3” from the upper corner of your cabinet door. On-wall cabinets, they are placed 2.5” to 3” from the bottom corner of your cabinet door. Conversely, on pull-out cabinets and drawers, knobs are centred on the front of the drawer.

If the drawer is too wide, you can place a second cabinet knob. The drawer can be divided into two and place the two knobs at each part.
