Frequently asked questions

What tools do I need to install cabinet hardware myself?

A power drill, drill bits, hole saw (if drilling new holes), screwdriver, measuring tape, and level. Most DIYers already own these. Our estimate covers only materials, not tools.

Can I reuse existing holes when installing new hardware?

Yes, if your new knobs and pulls match the existing hole spacing (typically 3 or 4 inches). If not, you'll need a hole saw to create new holes and wood filler for old ones—both included in the materials cost.

How many knobs and pulls do I need?

Count each cabinet door and drawer. Typically, one knob or pull per door/drawer. A 24-cabinet kitchen needs 24 knobs or pulls. Our low/mid/high range covers 12–36 pieces to fit most kitchens.
