| Although it’s generally a good idea to stick to one theme or style - designer, restoration, decorator, etc. - there are no hard and fast rules dictating the design and usage of kitchen hardware. Personal preference should dictate your choice. If mixing a selection of knobs and pulls is what pleases you, by all means go for it. You’re going to use your cupboards, cabinets, and drawers a lot so you might as well be happy with what you see. |

| Knobs are installed with one screw while pulls usually have two. If you are replacing old pulls, you’ll need to measure the distance between the centers of the screw holes, called the "boring," to determine the size of new pulls you’ll need. This will prevent the necessity of drilling more holes and patching in the old ones. |

| As a general rule, knobs or pulls no wider than half the rail width look best. Knobs or pulls that are too large look awkward and heavy. Remember that doors and drawers will usually need two different screw lengths. Drawers with faces applied as a separate piece will require screws to pass through 1 ¼" - 1 ½ " of wood or substrate. Doors are usually made of ¾" lumber so 1" screws usually work. You’ll want to order the appropriate screws for your kitchen fixtures. |
