Measuring for new cabinet knobs involves determining the appropriate placement on your cabinet doors and drawers. Here's a guide to help you:
The placement depends both on the door and your personal preferences.
- Cabinet Doors: Determine where you would like to place the knob. A general rule of thumb is to measure the total height of the door and then divide it by three to get the sizes of your top, middle, and bottom thirds. From the top of the door, measure down the amount of one third and put a mark with your pencil. Your handle is going to go somewhere in this top third. (03-Mar-2024)
- Cabinet Drawers: For drawers, knobs are typically centered, so you would measure to find the center point of the drawer front.
