What is the difference between cupboard knobs, drawer knobs and cabinet knobs?

They are different names for the same product - a round or shaped knob fixed to a cupboard door or drawer front with a single bolt. Cupboard knobs and cabinet knobs usually describe knobs on doors, while drawer knobs describe the same knobs used on drawers.

Can I match my cabinet knobs with pull handles and cup pulls?

Yes. Many cabinet knobs are part of wider ranges with matching cabinet pull handles and cup pulls, so you can pair knobs on doors with pulls on larger drawers for a coordinated look across your kitchen or furniture.

Are your cupboard knobs suitable for standard UK doors and drawers?

Yes. Our cupboard and drawer knobs are designed for standard UK cabinet doors and drawers and most are supplied with an M4 bolt for straightforward fitting. Always check the product details for size and projection to match your cupboards and drawers.

Do you deliver cabinet knobs across the UK?

Yes. Trade Door Handles supplies cupboard, drawer and cabinet knobs across the UK from our Kendal and Carlisle base, with fast delivery. Many Carlisle Brass and Zoo Hardware ranges are available for same-day dispatch.
