Replace old kitchen cabinet hardware and gain an instant style update that’s simple to do and easy on the budget!
Like putting on a silk tie or diamond earrings, changing kitchen cabinet hardware is an easy way to freshen existing space without a lot of expense. Installing new knobs, pulls, and hinges is a project you can do in a weekend, too, once you’ve found cool replacements.
You’ll love the unlimited variety of shapes, colors & styles available: Every type of metal finish, colored glass, even hand-painted porcelain. You’ll find fun, custom-forged shapes—pulls that look like forks and spoons, or frogs, dogs, and even butterflies.
Expect to pay between $2 and $20 per knob or pull. For an average kitchen of 200 square feet with 30 lineal feet of cabinetry, you’ll need approximately 40 pulls/knobs, so you can expect to spend anywhere from $80 to $800.
Here’s what you need to know to dress up doors and drawers with new kitchen cabinet hardware.
Measuring for kitchen cabinet hardware
Replacing kitchen cabinet hardware is a job you can do yourself. But note there’s a wide range of sizes when it comes to the spans between screws on kitchen cabinet hardware. You’re in luck if your doors feature a knob with a single screw that secures to the door or drawer front, and you want to replace it with the same.
Otherwise, you’ll need to measure precisely the spread between screws. Use a measuring tape to measure from the center of one screw hole to the center of the other. Write the measurement down and count the number of pulls and/or knobs that you need. If you’re making your purchase at a home center, bring the handle and dimensions with you.
If you opt for handles that don’t match up with existing holes, fill holes with wood filler and camouflage the repair with fresh stain or paint. Or you can cover the fix with a backplate that fits behind the new handle.
Hinges can be tricky
Hinges can be difficult to switch out because there are so many different types and sizes. If your kitchen cabinet hinges match the finish on the new hardware or if the hinges are hidden anyway, you can keep the originals.
Otherwise, before removing all the hinges, remove just one and then shop around—online or at a home center—to make sure you can find one that will work for your installation.
Installation tips for kitchen cabinet hardware
- If you need to re-drill your cabinet drawers and doors, speed up the project either by making a jig or buying one. You can make a jig from scrap plywood following directions available online. Or purchase a plastic jig from a home center or online for about $7.
- As you drill, keep the bit perpendicular to the door or drawer face. You can position an 8-inch tri-square next to your drill as a visual guide. If you’re inexperienced using a power drill, there are a number of drill guides available, starting at about $17

Albuquerque Cabinet Brokers would like to send out a special THANK YOU to Richardson & Richardson Construction!
Albuquerque Cabinet Brokers would like to send out a special THANK YOU to Richardson & Richardson Construction for inviting us to be a part of the 19th Annual Pete Leyva Memorial Golf Tournament which took place on September 14, 2015 at Sandia Casino Golf Course. Gary, Scott and their team had an exceptional time and ACB was very happy to help with a great cause!
Some Info From Richardson & Richardson about this years charitable recipient:
“As you may know, The Ranches mission is “Rekindling Hope in Today’s Youth.” They are a Christian based organization that strives to help troubled youth become productive young men and women. Their goal is to instill a value system that includes, “a new life; a relationship with God; finishing school or a job with a future”.
“The Ranches was established in 1944 and since that time has done a remarkable job, helping troubled youth through its four divisions: New Mexico Boys and Girls Ranch, Mountain Vista Ranch, Families for Children, and The New Mexico Family Connection. Private donations such as ours are their only source of funding; they accept no government assistance. It is very important that we continue to support this investment in our youth.”
Hats off to everyone at Richardson & Richardson for all of their great work and dedication (Bob, Janet, Katy, Hap, Bev….this means you)!
