Pantry Door Handle Placement

Therefore each pull is centered 9 inches from the left and right edge of the drawer front.

Pantry door handle placement.

We used the 2 5 measurement on all of our cabinets. For example if your drawers are 36 inches wide half of 36 is 18 half of 18 is 9. The typical height to place knobs is 2 5 3 from the bottom of the door on upper cabinets or from the top of the door on lower cabinets. You can cut circles out of painters tape to test placement.

For a more classic look consider offsetting your knobs from the rail a bit. Line the top edge of the hardware with the bottom edge of the top rail or center it on the frame. Knobs should be centered horizontally on the door stile on the side opposite the hinge this goes for both upper and lower cabinetry. You ll specifically want to place them anywhere between 1 and 4 from the top or bottom edge of the door.

I ll admit it doesn t look as clean as beekeeperswive s gorgeous cabinets but we do generally use the pulls to open the door. The main difference is you ll place them near the top of the door on the stile so you can reach them without bending over too far. When it comes to installing cabinet door handles either knobs or pulls they are always placed on the opposite side from the door hinges. Divide the drawer in half and center a pull in each half and it will be perfectly balanced.
