Changing out the knobs or pulls on your kitchen cabinets and doors can make a nice visual statement for a low cost. Here are a few pointers to keep in mind. - To remove old knobs or handles and replace them, loosen the screw on the back of the door that holds the old hardware in place, then remove the knob or handle.
- To simplify placement of the holes for the new handle, check your home improvement store for a template that serves as a guideline for lining up standard holes at the side or bottom of the door.
- Mark and pre-drill your holes carefully.
- Before putting your new handle in place, fill any holes left by old hardware with wood putty, and paint that area.
- Attach the new handles with screws.
