Where Should Cabinet Handles/Knobs be Placed?
Use these suggestions as a guide for where the cabinet handles or knobs should be placed. • Placing Cabinet Handles or Knobs in Line-I generally like to use the center of the drawer as a guide for where the doors will be drilled for the knobs or handles. If your drawer front is six inches high, then the center will be three inches down from the top.

This method of locating where to attach the hardware is not necessary a rule but it is a good starting place when trying to decide where to place the knob or handle. • Customer Preference-Here’s where the rules get thrown out the door, when the customer has a personal preference as to where the cabinet handle should be installed. This is why I suggested starting with the center of the drawer but don’t drill anything until the customer, wife or whoever
