If the cabinets in the kitchen are new and have never had knobs installed in them before you will have to first measure and mark off where the cabinet knobs will go before drilling any holes. First, decide where the knobs will look the best on the cabinet. Some people prefer the center of the cabinet edge for the knobs while others prefer something that is off center. 3 inches above the bottom of an upper cabinet is generally a good place for kitchen cabinet knobs to be installed. Using a ruler and a pencil, make a small mark on the cabinet where the hole will be drilled for the knob. Make sure all of the cabinets have equal and accurate measurements so all of the knobs are equally placed and spaced. If upper cabinet knobs are placed 3 inches from the bottom of the cabinet, place the knobs 3 inches from the top of lower cabinets below the counter top.
Most kitchen cabinet knobs are attached to a screw or a cylindrical attachment that goes through the hole drilled in the cabinet. Before drilling any holes, inspect the size of the screw that is to go through the cabinetry and pick a drill bit of a coordinating size to drill the hole with. Following the marked off measurements previously made, drill a hole for each knob on the cabinet. Once the hole is made, the cabinet knob can be put through the hole and secured at the back.
If there are already knobs in the kitchen cabinet and you wish to replace the old ones with new ones the process is quite simple. Drilling is rarely needed because they can usually be unscrewed by hand or easily taken off with the help of a hand held screw driver. Once the old knobs are unscrewed and taken out, the new ones can be installed by putting them through the holes that the previous ones were in and securing them in the back.
