Where Should I Place My Cabinet Pulls

On base cabinets its the inverse.

Where should i place my cabinet pulls. Divide the drawer in half and center a pull in each half and it will be perfectly balanced. The most functional cabinet hardware mix is knobs on doors and pulls or handles on drawers. On upper cabinets the bottom screw hole should be placed 25 3 above the bottom of the door.

This is a very common question with Shaker cabinets. See below for where to use each. This is the standard industry measurement for sizing cabinet handles.

It should maintain 25 to 3 inches of distance from the doors bottom corner for an upper cabinet. For upper cabinets the bottom screw should be in that range and the top screw will depend on how long your pull is. Even though it is in the corner and a small pull to grab onto and it is on a large pullout it works fine.

Generally they go in the middle. Knobs pulls and other handles are like jewelry for cabinets. For example if your drawers are 36 inches wide half of 36 is 18 half of 18 is 9.

Use the same 2 12 3 range when installing pulls. Bar and Wire Pulls. 2 is typically a good distance.

However a client of mine wanted it mounted in the corner like a door knob. The first route is to put knobs on all the upper cabinets and pulls on all the lower cabinets creating a harmonious visual appearance. The top screw should be placed 2-½ to 3 below the top of the door.
