Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use cabinet knobs or cabinet pulls?
Either can be used throughout the room. A popular arrangement is to install
knobs on cabinet doors and pulls on drawers. Larger or heavier drawers may
be easier to open with pulls.
How do I measure replacement cabinet pulls?
Measure from the center of one existing screw hole to the center of the
other. Choose a new pull with the same center-to-center hole spacing. Do not
use the overall length as the hole-spacing measurement.
What is the most common cabinet-pull hole spacing?
Three-inch and 3-3/4-inch hole spacings are common on existing cabinetry,
while 5-inch and larger pulls are also widely used. Always measure the
existing holes rather than relying on a presumed standard size.
Can I mix cabinet knobs and pulls?
Yes. Knobs and pulls are frequently combined in the same kitchen or room.
Selecting pieces from the same Cosmas series and finish can help maintain a
coordinated appearance.
How do I choose a cabinet-hardware finish?
Consider the cabinet color, countertop, appliances, plumbing fixtures, and
lighting. Black provides strong contrast, brass and gold add warmth, Satin
Nickel offers a versatile silver tone, and Oil Rubbed Bronze provides a
darker traditional appearance.
What screws come with Cosmas cabinet hardware?
Mounting screws are included. Screw dimensions and included lengths can vary
by product, so review the specifications on the individual product page.
Thick cabinet doors or drawer fronts may require longer screws.
How can I find matching Cosmas knobs and pulls?
Look for products with the same Cosmas series number and finish designation.
Products from the same series generally share related design details and are
often intended to coordinate.
