Knob Installation

Measuring for knobs and drawer pulls.

Knobs are installed with one screw while pulls usually have two.

If you are replacing old pulls, youll need to measure the distance between the centers of the screw holes, called the boring, to determine the size of new pulls youll need.

This will prevent the necessity of drilling more holes and patching in the old ones.

You could consider adding new drawer fronts and doors with Rocklers custom door and drawer program.

If you have frame and panel doors and drawers, you'll also want to consider the width of the rails.
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 1/4" - 1 1/2" of wood or substrate. Doors are usually made of 3/4" lumber so 1" screws usually work.


While installing one door or drawer pull is relatively easy, installing several quickly gets cumbersome.
