Pantry Door Handle Placement

Knobs should be centered horizontally on the door stile on the side opposite the hinge this goes for both upper and lower cabinetry.

Pantry door handle placement.

You can cut circles out of painters tape to test placement. 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. 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. For a more classic look consider offsetting your knobs from the rail a bit.

Therefore each pull is centered 9 inches from the left and right edge of the drawer front. For example if your drawers are 36 inches wide half of 36 is 18 half of 18 is 9. Line the top edge of the hardware with the bottom edge of the top rail or center it on the frame. You ll specifically want to place them anywhere between 1 and 4 from the top or bottom edge of the door.

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. If you are using elongated knobs such as egg knobs or t knobs place the installation hole so that the top of your knob is in line with the rail. Center the hardware horizontally on the stile between 2 and 4 inches down from the top edge.
