If you’re looking to update the look of your kitchen or bathroom cabinets, one of the easiest and most affordable ways to do so is to install new cabinet handles. Horizontal cabinet handles are a popular choice for their clean and modern look, and they can be installed on a variety of cabinet types. Here’s a guide to installing horizontal cabinet handles on different types of cabinets:

Materials You’ll Need

Before you start, gather the following materials:

– New cabinet handles

– Screwdriver

– Measuring tape

– Pencil

– Level

– Drill (optional)

Installing Handles on Frameless Cabinets

1. Measure and mark the placement of the handles. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the center of each cabinet door or drawer where you want to install the handle.

2. Pre-drill holes. If your cabinet doors or drawers are made of a hard material, such as wood or metal, you may need to pre-drill holes for the screws. Use a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screws.

3. Screw in the handles. Align the handle with the pre-drilled holes and insert the screws. Tighten the screws until the handle is secure.

Installing Handles on Framed Cabinets

1. Measure and mark the placement of the handles. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the center of each cabinet door or drawer where you want to install the handle.

2. Attach the mounting plate. Most horizontal cabinet handles come with a mounting plate that is attached to the back of the handle. Hold the mounting plate against the cabinet door or drawer and mark the placement of the screws. Remove the mounting plate and pre-drill holes for the screws.

3. Attach the handles. Align the mounting plate with the pre-drilled holes and insert the screws. Tighten the screws until the mounting plate is secure.

4. Screw on the handles. Align the handle with the mounting plate and insert the screws. Tighten the screws until the handle is secure.

Installing Handles on Glass Cabinets

1. Measure and mark the placement of the handles. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the center of each cabinet door or drawer where you want to install the handle.

2. Apply adhesive. Apply a thin line of adhesive to the back of the handle.

3. Press the handle into place. Align the handle with the marked placement and press it into place. Hold the handle for a few minutes until the adhesive has set.

Tips for Installing Horizontal Cabinet Handles

– Use a level to ensure that the handles are installed straight.

– Don’t overtighten the screws. Overtightening can strip the screws or damage the cabinet.

– If you’re not sure how to install the handles, consult a professional.
