Where do knobs – pulls go on cabinets?

Is there a “rule of thumb” for placement of nobs, pulls and cups on cabinet doors and drawer fronts? More specifically, where two nobs are placed on one long drawer front. Seems like every time we do this we recreate the wheel in their placement.

I don't think I have ever placed them in the same positions. I ask the customers where they would prefer them and go from there.

Ditto, much depends on the style/size also.

On the double length drawers I pretend it is two drawers.. Split in half, then centered on each half

At what point does a drawer become “double length”?
That's a good question... I was thinking of the 30-36" range. 'Pan' drawers

Usually when there are two doors below. Of course....that don't help much on a db :laughing:

Where the customer says.

And I've never had two customers agree on where that is.

I would center the draw pulls above the center of each door on that layout.

On the wide drawer, center over each door instead.

Finishing a small kitchen, I just installed simple knobs on a three drawer base 21 where the two bottom drawers were taller. I thought about putting the knob on the bottom drawer higher for "reach" and comfort...and splitting the height difference for the middle drawer knob placement....and then I came to my senses and centered them all.

Where do you guys put them on a two door pantry cabinet? :)

This isn't too bad, but I would also agree that centered on both would also be good.

Simply it's not my kitchen.....

Doesn't quite fit the Craftsman Style imho.And that's the recemondation I'd make to the owners and start the conversation of what is acceptable.

My answer is always let the home owner or Job Super/Expediditor decide.
That way I get paid to replace doors/drawer fronts or fill holes when they don't like it.

I'd suggest hollow stainless handles.

What is the most common grab? I do a lot of Knobs on doors, pulls on draws on occassion the opposite. I have done it every way possible probably mostly all pull. Just curious.
