Getting a handle on cabinet knobs

Did you know that there are specialty stores all over the world that make a fortune selling cabinet knobs? The same thing can even be found on the internet with websites selling only this product. As you can imagine, its popularity became something like, “I only buy cabinet knobs from X.” A wide variety of models are created to choose from. There are some models that have hundreds of colors or small design changes (eg 0.5 cm longer or an extra line on one side) that make all the difference. Some cabinet knobs didn’t even sell.

Most doors come with a knob. So all cabinets come with knobs included. Why change them, you ask! There are several possible answers. First of all, the most common is in the design. You may just not like it. In this case, you can go to a specialized store and ask for cabinet knobs that suit your needs. The only real problem that comes up is that you can’t take the cabinet with you so you don’t know if it’s going to be any good or not. One thing should also be kept in mind once in the situation. If you can’t take action, you may have to guess. It’s hard to guess and this can quickly lead to wasted time (going to the department store and back) and money (once opened, most appliances or smaller parts cannot be recovered or exchanged).

There are different types of cabinet knobs. First we have the popular glass cabinet knob. Many people are starting to buy glass cabinets. It becomes difficult to fit a cabinet knob in this situation, not to mention one type may not work for all models. Research and proper measurement is the key. If possible, note the make of the cabinet and take the appropriate measurements. You can even disassemble one and take it with you to the store. It does not matter if we are talking about kitchen furniture knobs, porcelain furniture knobs or normal knobs.

Usually anyone can mount the newly purchased knob without fear of problems. First you remove the old knob and mount the new one. This simple process can only be difficult when the new cabinet knob doesn’t quite fit into the place of the old one. It is better to measure twice before buying. If the new cabinet knob can’t be snapped into place, you shouldn’t force it. Some may even crack the cabinet and this may even lead to the need for a complete replacement. Basically, if you break the cabinet door, you’ll have to pay more or even replace the cabinet entirely (if the door breaks on the sides as well). As with anything, you must analyze the situation before making any physical decisions.

Cabinet knobs can be very stylish and can add a special design flavor to any room. If you don’t like one, chances are high that others won’t like it either. Cabinet knobs are inexpensive, easy to install, and durable. Changing them from time to time may be necessary or aesthetically beneficial to the overall appearance of the house.
