Crystal Cabinet Knobs FAQs
Why choose crystal cabinet knobs?
Crystal cabinet knobs add a bright and elegant accent to any space at home. These authentically reproduced glass knobs come in a wide variety of sizes, styles, finishes, and colors. Preserve your home’s vintage charm with classic crystal accents.
What are the benefits of cabinet knobs over cabinet pulls?
- One main difference between cabinet knobs and pulls is how you install them. You attach cabinet pulls to a cabinet or drawer with two screws, one on each side of the pull. However, cabinet knobs only require a single screw for installation.
- Another benefit in the installation process of cabinet knobs and pulls is how much measurement they require.
- Pulls need more measurement simply because they have two sides that must be screwed in. You want to make sure the pulls are level and not crooked.
Where is the best place to put knobs on cabinets?
Cabinet knobs are placed opposite door hinges. On-wall cabinets, knobs are usually placed 2-1/2” to 3” from the bottom corner of the door. On base cabinets, they are placed 2-1/2” to 3” from the upper corner of the door. If your drawer is 24” or wider, you may choose to place a second knob.
How do you install cabinet knobs?
- You only need a screwdriver to complete this process.
- Kitchen cabinets generally have pre-drilled holes in the areas where hardware is supposed to be installed. If there isn’t a hole, you may need a drill to create what is called a pilot hole.
- Once you have drilled your holes or you have found your pre-drilled holes in your cabinet faces, you will push the screw through the back of the cabinet to the other side where you want to install the hardware.
- Simply use a screwdriver to screw it into the hole on the backside of the hardware. This is all that needs to be done to securely anchor the hardware to your cabinets.
What to know when buying cabinet knobs?
- Determine the shape you want. Take note of your cabinet style, countertop edge, lighting fixtures, and any other important design elements. Do they have square or curved lines?
Choose hardware that is consistent with the type of lines in your design. - Consider the finish. While most people will choose chrome or brushed nickel, numerous other finishes are available to add interest to your kitchen. You don’t need to match your faucet as long as the finish complements other finishes in the design.
- Think about comfort. Try out the knob or pull before you purchase the entire kitchen.
Touch it, feel it, and fit your hand inside the pull. Does it fit? Does it feel nice? Or does it cram your fingers and feel sharp around the edges? You should be able to fit four comfortably.
