Changing out the knobs or pulls on your cabinet doors can make a big statement for very little money, but there are a few tips you need to know:
- To replace knobs with pulls, first remove the knobs by unscrewing them from the back of the door
- Next, measure where you'll want the handle to be located. (You may want to invest in a handy little plastic gadget -- available at home-improvement stores -- that features a series of holes representing the placement of various standard-size pulls. Simply find the correct holes and mark through them with a pencil -- the straight edges of the gadget make it easy to align the holes with the sides of the door.)
- Predrill the holes for the new hardware.
- Fill in the old holes with word putty, then sand and paint to match the cabinet finish.
- Attach the new handles by screwing them in place -- and your old cabinets are new again!
