Easy Guide to Replacing Kitchen Handles

Once you have chosen your perfect handle, you can follow our easy 4 step guide to fitting them on to your kitchen cupboards and draws.

1) Firstly, unscrew your old handles, keeping the screws to check the length against the new ones, if required we can supply different length screws

2) Push the Screws through the existing holes, and make sure they line up properly with the new handle holes.

3) Once lined up, tighten the new screws in to the new handle by hand to begin with, just to avoid any cross threading, once the screws have gripped properly, fully tighten up with a screwdriver

4) Finally, after you have repeated this procedure for the rest of your handles, take a step back and admire your new look kitchen.

Different size kitchen handle fitting

If you have chosen handles which are bigger or smaller than your existing handles you may need to make a few adjustments to your cupboards, here is our easy step guide to do so.

1) With the old handle off the cupboard, measure in equally from the top and bottom of the cupboard and from the side nearest where the handle would be, and mark the two hole centres e.g. 96mm, 128mm, 160mm, this could be made even easier if you make a jig

2) Drill the holes required with, (We recommend) a 4mm drill bit this should be suitable for all off the screws we supply. It may be an idea to put a piece of masking tape over the marked areas back and front, as not to harm the cupboard.

3) Once you have the holes drilled where you require them push the screws through the existing holes, and make sure they line up properly with the new handle holes.

4) Once lined up, tighten the new screws in to the new handle by hand to begin with, just to avoid any cross threading, once the screws have gripped properly, fully tighten up with a screwdriver.

5) Finally, after you have repeated this procedure for the rest of your handles, take a step back and admire your new look kitchen.
