Look
for replacement door pulls sized to
match the existing holes in your
cabinets. If you don't, you'll need
to fill the old holes and conceal
them. With painted cabinets, you can
hide the patch with touch-up paint.
With wood cabinets, select a wood
filler that matches the surrounding
finish. Matching all-laminate
cabinets with filler is difficult
and not recommended. Instead, just
get replacement hardware that
matches the old holes.

| STEPS |
|
 |

|
Take
off the old door pull by removing
the fastening screw. If you won't be
using the same screw hole, patch the
hole with a wood filler that matches
the finish of the cabinet door. Use
a combination square to make
consistent layout marks on the doors
for the new door knobs. |
|
|
 |

|
Drill
new holes from the front of the
door. Take care not to press so hard
as to splinter the back side of the
door when the drill bit comes
through. Insert a fastening screw
into the hole and attach the knob by
tightening it to the door. Some
fastening screws are made of soft
metal so be careful not to strip the
threads. |
