Installing Cabinet Door Hardware

April 25, 2016

Installing Cabinet Door Hardware

Don’t be intimidated to install cabinet door hardware, I’m going to show you how easy it was to  I install my cabinet door hardware. You won’t believe how easy this is, you’re going to want to hug me for sharing this information to you because it’s super easy, really it is!

Using the right tools when installing cabinet door hardware makes the job so much easier!

When I decided to paint my kitchen cabinets (you can view that HERE) I knew I wanted to add cabinet door hardware. Can you believe we’ve been in our house for eight years, and we just added cabinet door hardware to my kitchen cabinets after I painted them, and finally our bathroom! Two reasons I waited so long, one the cost of cabinet door hardware, and two I was afraid to make holes in my cabinet door for fear of messing up.

I solved the problem of the cost for my cabinet door hardware, I found cheap hardware for my kitchen cabinets and painted them. And my bathroom cabinet door hardware is from Hobby Lobby, they were on sale 🙂 Next, was figuring out how in the world to accurately make holes in my cabinet doors without messing them up.


Here’s the solution, it’s called Measure Pro. This little tool the Measure Pro made my job so easy!

My kit came with a template to measure and a drill bit.

Using the right tools when installing cabinet door hardware makes the job so much easier!

Let me show you how easy this is to install cabinet door hardware. First decide where you would like to install your hardware.

After you decide where you would like your knobs on your cabinet door , place the  template on your door. I re-checked this several times to make sure this is where I want them to go before drilling. As they say measure twice cut once, but in this case, measure twice, drill once.

I used a pen to make a dot, again double check your work make sure this is where you want your knob to go. You can do both sides at once which is great because you want them to match as much as possible. It won’t be perfect unless your cabinets are straight, mine are not.

Here’s A Tip

 Most cabinet doors are uneven, so make sure you’re measuring correctly, and compensate slightly for the difference in the doors unevenness.

Now it’s time to drill. Get a piece of wood to hold behind the door you are drilling, this helps to prevent the wood from splitting or cracking as you drill.

It’s hard to see the piece of wood,  as I was taking a photo just after I drilled my hole, but that white board is my support board. That’s it, that’s all you have to do, now add your cabinet door hardware. This handy tool the Measure Pro made this project super easy to do!

Using the right tools when installing cabinet door hardware makes the job so much easier!

So if you’ve been thinking of adding cabinet door hardware, but you’ve been afraid, don’t be! This was super easy to do, and if I can do it so can you! Here’s where you can purchase a Measure Pro for your next project.

    This is such a great tip Anne! I had no idea there would be a template out there to speed the process up. I can’t wait to see the room reveal.
    Sometimes it takes me forever to get to all the blogs I adore because of time constraints and the fact that I still have a dumb phone, but I miss so many things like this. But eventually I make it around and am able to catch up (a little) So glad I saw this post!
    sending hugs…

    Sure is handy little gadget isn’t it, saves many an argument with our hubs and having to drill more holes. Happy to say gadget has been out for while, or one similar.
    Hope you’re having better weather than us. This has been such a rainy Spring here. Hard to get things done like spray painting when wind blowing like crazy and torrents of rain coming down, ugh. Our back yard is like swamp when it rains. Had couple things wanted hubs to spray paint for me but wind/rain are messing with my projects. Had to dry sheets in dryer, like to hang out. Have couple boxes to put out in shed but hard to time my run to shed against rain squalls. Finally got stuff gone thru so can put in shed, yeahoo.
    Have great week. Love your new knobs.

    I have a templet to drill the hole, but thanks for the tip about putting wood behind the door so it won’t crack. I appreciate that advice.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
