Materials You’ll Need

New Pull Handles

Drill (optional)

Choose the correct finger pull handles

Before you start installing new finger pull handles, it is important to choose the right ones for your cabinets. Here are some factors to consider:

Style: Pull handles come in a variety of styles, from modern and sleek to traditional and ornate. Choose a style that complements the overall design of your kitchen or bathroom.

Material: Pull handles are typically made from metal, wood, ceramic, or plastic. Choose a material that is durable and easy to clean.

Size: Pull handles are available in different lengths and widths. Measure the thickness of your cabinet doors and drawers to determine the appropriate size for your needs.

Measure and mark hole locations

Once you have chosen your handles, it’s time. to measure and mark the locations of the holes you will need to drill.

For doors: Measure the center of the door and mark the location of the handle hole. If you are installing multiple handles on a single door, make sure they are evenly spaced.

For drawers: Measure the center of the drawer front and mark the location of the handle holes. If your drawer fronts are wide, you may want to install two handles for added grip.

Drill the holes

If you are installing finger pull handles that require drilled holes, use a drill to create the necessary holes.

Use a drill bit the same size as the screws that will be used to attach the handles.

Drill the holes to a depth of about 1/4 inch.

If drilling into wood, use a countersink bit to widen the hole slightly around the edges. This will help prevent the wood from splitting when the screws are tightened.

Install the pull handles

Now it’s time to install the pull handles.

Align the handles with the marked holes.

Insert the screws into the holes and tighten them using a screwdriver.

Make sure the handles are secure, but not too tight.

Enjoy your upgraded cabinets

Congratulations! You have successfully upgraded your cabinets with new pull handles. Now you can enjoy the added style and functionality they bring to your kitchen or bathroom.
