Where to Put Handles on Kitchen Cabinets

The placement of kitchen door handles and knobs significantly influences both the functionality and visual appeal of your cupboard handles and drawers.

Kitchen Cabinet Handle Placement

For wall-mounted cabinets, handle placement is typically positioned vertically, centred horizontally on the door's edge. This placement ensures ease of access and a balanced appearance.

Kitchen Drawer Handle Placement

On drawers, handle placement is usually mounted horizontally, centred both vertically and horizontally. For larger drawers, consider using two handles to maintain symmetry and provide additional support.

What Colour Kitchen Handles Should You Use?

Choosing the right finish for your kitchen handles can harmonise your hardware with other elements in your room, such as appliances and crockery.

Installing your handles or knobs with precision ensures both functionality and a polished look. Follow these steps to achieve a seamless installation:

 

Measure and Mark Placement – Determine the desired placement, ensuring uniformity across all cabinets and drawers. Use a ruler or measuring tape to mark precise locations.


Use a Template or Jig – A template or drilling jig ensures accuracy, helping to maintain consistency in the positioning of your kitchen furniture handles.


Drill Pilot Holes – To prevent wood splitting, drill small pilot holes at your marked points before installing the handles.


Secure the Handles – Attach the kitchen handles using screws, ensuring they are properly tightened but not over-torqued, which could damage the cabinetry.


Check Alignment and Finish – Once installed, ensure all handles are aligned properly and secure. Wipe away any dust or debris to complete the polished look.
