In your cabinet hardware, this is one of the first decisions you need to make. Actually both the knobs and pulls do the same job but one may perform better than the other.

Facts of Cabinet Knobs:

Cabinet knobs are quite traditional when they are fitted to the doors of your cabinets. If you are buying a cabinet that is already made and having pre-installed hardware, you will most probably be getting cabinet knobs as a part of that deal. Cabinet knobs are pulled for opening a cabinet door and you will get them in round shapes. They are probably fitted with one screw or bolt on the door of your cabinet.

Facts of Cabinet Pulls:

On the other hand, cabinet pulls are C-shaped bars and attached to the cabinet through its two edges of the “C”. You would need to slip hand in to the ‘C’ and use the leverage to utilize the cabinet pulls for opening the door. They take more space on your cabinet compare to the cabinet knobs, and are fitted through two screws.

The following are few pros and cons of cabinet knobs and pulls:

If the doors on which you are going to fit cabinet knobs or pulls are without any pre-drilled holes, you will need to work with a clean canvas. You will need to make holes for the cabinet hardware. You should prefer to cabinet knobs if you have lots of cabinets that need to be drilled as cabinet knobs just need one hole while cabinet pulls need two.
If you feel that there would be older people in the home, or people with weakness in their hands, opening cabinet knobs could be a tough job for them. Actually opening a cabinet door through a cabinet knob needs to round the fingers for pulling them out. That’s why they people would face difficulties in opening the door through the cabinet knobs. In this case you should prefer to cabinet pulls which are just needed to slip a few fingers into the pull and get the door open using the whole arm power.
If the look of your cabinet is more preferable to you, then the better choice would be cabinet knobs as they come in various designs, sizes and shapes which can decorate your cabinets rather than cabinet pulls.

Usually front doors are considered most important, even though all the entrances like windows and other exterior doors should be considered important for security consideration. Most probably you will find that some areas of the country have building codes which deal with door security. These statuses may require a certain type of deadbolts on a rental property. In the other hand they may don’t allow the use of double deadbolts which require a key before people can get out of the building in an emergency.

It’s very hard for intruders to gain access to the home through these double dead bolt security door locks. They help to prevent being able to just knock out glass in or close to a door lock and just reach to unlock the door.

However to keep your home more secure make sure you have deadbolt locks. They are very effective and keep the door from being opened even if the intruder is able to pick the lock. The strike plate or box, which is the most important part of a secure and good lock, is constructed that the colts fits into. Experts of security suggest a bolt should be minimum of one inch or longer in order to hold even with prying and kicking the lock.

If you want to get the best security lock we would recommend you to choose ones that use strike box instead of just a strike plate. It’s also possible to change any brand of existing strike plates with more secure strike, and as in such case you wouldn’t need to change the locks themselves. Also make sure to use at least three inches long screws when you are anchoring either a box or strike plate.

Installing these require certain set of hardware tools, which commonly are available at home. Here is the list of tools that will be needed:
The drill (3/16 recommended), marker, masking tape, level, screwdriver, nail or center punch.

You should see existing holes on your cabinet doors, so new drilling can be avoided. If the cabinet has not been drilled before, then we would recommend you to install the knobs that need just one screw or if you want to install pulls or handles, be careful to measure the distance between the drill centers.

While drilling there must be margin of at least one inch from the door edge, other wise the piece of wood can be broken, which will make cabinet look bad. Ideally handles or knobs should be installed 1 1/2” to 2” from the outer edge of the door.

Only start drilling after you have marked the accurate spot on door. You should drill straight so the screws can be fitted accurately. After the drilling you can go ahead with the installation, fix the screws using the screwdriver and tighten until the handles or knobs become firmly stable.

And yes some cabinet doors are also made of the ¾ inch lumber; you should use the standard 1 inch screw in that situation.

We hope after reading this you would be ready to install your cabinet handles or cabinet knobs.
