Handles
Handles are installed with two screws. This is very important
to keep in mind especially if you are replacing handles.
The hole spacing will need to be measured in order to purchase
an exact replacement. Their dimensions vary so please pay careful attention to the handle you have selected. Please keep in mind the projection for drawer
and door clearances. |

Knobs

Backplates
Backplates are used with your handles or knobs. They are placed
between the door or drawer and the handle or knob. Backplates are
installed with two screws like a handle. If you want an exact match
to the existing holes please measure the hole spacing. You can also
use backplates to cover existing holes for your new handle or knob.

Screws
Ordering your screws.
Screws are not included with your decorative hardware, for a very good reason. Every job site is unique, the thickness of the door or drawer varies greatly, if we were to include standard screws, many of you would be disappointed because the screws would be either too long or too short, so for your ease and convenience you can order them separately to obtain exactly what you need. To determine the screw length add 1/4 inch or 6mm to the thickness of the door or drawer front.
We only sell screws in box quantities of 100. If you decide
you do not want extra screws available in your personal tool supply,
you can find the screws you will need at any local hardware store.
The sizes you will need are very common. Please be sure you make a
count of how many you need and add a few extra in case of damage or
breakage during installation.
