Tools and Materials You'll Need:

New cabinet door knobs
Screwdriver
Drill

Measuring tape
Pencil

Instructions:

1. Measure and mark the knob placement.

Use a measuring tape to measure and mark the center point for each knob. The standard distance between cabinet door knobs is 3 inches. Once you have marked the center points, use a pencil to draw a small circle around each mark.

2. Drill pilot holes.

Use a drill and a 1/8-inch drill bit to drill pilot holes for the screws. The pilot holes should be about 1/4 inch deep.

3. Install the cabinet door knobs.

Insert the screws into the pilot holes and tighten them until the knobs are secure. Be careful not to overtighten the screws, as this could damage the cabinet door.

4. Enjoy your new cabinet door knobs!

Your kitchen cabinet door knobs are now installed and ready to use. Enjoy the updated look of your kitchen!

Tips:

If you are installing knobs on a new cabinet door, you may need to drill all the way through the door in order to install the screws. Be sure to use a drill stop to prevent the drill bit from going too far through the door.
If you are installing knobs on an existing cabinet door, you may be able to reuse the existing screw holes. However, it is important to make sure that the new knobs are the same size as the old knobs so that they fit properly.
If you are having trouble installing the knobs, you can always consult with a professional handyman or carpenter.
