How to Choose Replacement Cupboard Knobs

1. Measure the old knob. Measure across the widest part of the knob. That is its diameter, the size used on this page. Square, rectangular and T-bar knobs are measured by their length.

2. Check the hole. Most cupboard knobs fix with a single bolt through one hole, so a new knob will usually fit the existing hole. If the old fitting had two holes, choose a pull handle with the same fixing centres instead.

3. Pick the size. 32mm and 38mm are the most common sizes in the range. 32mm suits smaller doors and drawers, and 38mm suits standard kitchen doors. Larger knobs suit wardrobes, dressers and big doors.

4. Choose the finish. Pick a finish that matches your door handles, taps and lighting, such as antique brass, matt black, satin brass or polished chrome. Heritage Brass door handles and window furniture are made in the same core finishes.

Cupboards, drawers, wardrobes and dressers

Where to Fit Cupboard Knobs

Kitchen cupboards. Knobs suit wall and base unit doors. Fit them near the corner opposite the hinges, so the door is easy to open.

Drawers. Small drawers can take a single knob in the centre. Wide drawers look balanced with two knobs, or use a cabinet pull handle or cup handle for a full hand grip.

Wardrobes, dressers and bathroom cabinets. Larger knobs suit tall wardrobe doors, and period designs like beehive and Victorian knobs suit dressers and restored furniture. See the full Heritage Brass kitchen and cabinet hardware range.

More Cupboard Knob Questions

Can I replace knobs without drilling new holes?

Yes. Most cupboard knobs fix with a single bolt, so a new knob will usually fit the existing hole.

Should I use knobs or handles on drawers?

Either works. Knobs suit small drawers, and pull handles or cup handles give an easier grip on wide or heavy drawers. Many kitchens mix them in one finish.

Are the knobs sold singly?

Most Heritage Brass cupboard knobs are sold individually, so order one for each door or drawer. Check the unit of sale on each product page.

What is the difference between a knob and a T-bar knob?

A standard knob is round, square or oval. A T-bar knob is a short bar on a single fixing, giving a grip more like a pull handle while still fitting one hole.

Do the porcelain knobs come in other finishes?

The porcelain knobs come in Plain White, White Crackle, Cream Crackle and Gold Line designs, each in 32mm and 38mm.

Can I use cabinet knobs on internal doors?

No. Cabinet knobs are made for cupboards and furniture. For internal doors, use Heritage Brass mortice knobs, which work with a door latch.
