Help with kitchen hardware placement

3 years ago

I have these two long kitchen cabinet doors on the side of my refrigerator and I'm not sure where to place these pulls ? Would it look right with them placed here ? The whole door opens its not separate so it wouldn't look right with 4 pulls either? Thinking just 2 bc its one long door just not sure where to hang? Can't go bigger now I don't think I wouldn't know how many sizes up anyways. Thank you

    Are you saying the upper doors are connected to the bottom doors? If so, I think you're the only one that knows that. So to keep up the illusion of 4 doors you must use 4 handles.

    I have a similar door and it has just one pull at waist height. Very convenient and comfortable to use.`

    The photo above looks nicely balanced where uppers are placed and the right bottom door in middle.

    @Paul f Yes they are connected. One long door awkward? So do I " need" 4 pulls would it look OK if I just used 2 & place them as you shown? If yes I told them to drill the holes even with the line on the rail so would I have the drill it even with top lower door & that would give me this look ? I have t bar pulls and like the look of the bottom hanging a bit not flush with that line. Or is that placed in the middle somewhere? Thank u so much you

    @JAN MOYER took the words out of my mouth and with a nice drawing too. It will look strange to not have any hardware on the top small doors, even though they are faux. A pull seems too large for up there but small knobs work. For the pulls, they look too high where you are holding them in your pic. They should be where your arm naturally extends to, right around the T.

    @Jan Moyer I told them to drill the holes even w the line on the rail. My hardware will hang a bit past that not "flush" w line rail. . What  @Paul f shown is a little how my hardware will look. Is that the correct place to drill the hole then  " even" w line like the rest  will be just  on the lower part of the cabinet door ?  I'm trying to understand what you mean since my pulls won't be all be even w line is the same look your trying to describe in your diagram work for me ?  Are you both describing the same thing to me ?

    @Jan Moyer I just like to say  Thank you so much for your diagram it was very helpful. I'm completely lost on this one ? I think I understand if my pulls  ( im assuming you mean the bottom) were even " flush" w center rail line then have them hang down to the top of  that  bottom cabinet rail but since mine aren't do I still drill the hole there ? or somewhere in the middle ? Thanks for your patience n time. I'm so happy I decided to finally ask saving me alot of grief!

    @Paul f basically are you saying  to drill the hole in middle somewhere or to have them  drill the  hole the same place as the rest of them( even w rail line) but start hole at the lower bottom half of the  cabinets  to get this look ? Thanks btw for ur pic. It helped me visually see what it should look like.im just trying to understand " exactly " where to drill.

    @ Laney

    YOU HAVE A BAR PULL,,,,,,we don't know centers

    The bottom edge of the pull is center on stile and rail!



    Set the pull down SIDEWAYS on a piece of cardboard,

    MARK a dot on the cardboard, where each hole is.

    Mark an x at the very ENDS of the PULL

    PUNCH a tiny hole in the two x/s and the dots

    HOLD it against the door.

    WE don't know the CENTERS ON THE PULL

    @JAN MOYER Well the holes have been drilled! I showed ur diagram to the workets. I almost delayed them if it hadn't been for you & ( I already been in this trailer waiting to get back home for over a year and a half now) so I honestly couldn't of done this without all of your help ! Thank you for taking the time out of your life to help a complete stranger! The worker here is holding up the hardware here. You can see the cabinets better in this pic ( which I should of shown first ! ) Again I sincerely Thank you I greatly appreciate all of the help ! I hope it's ok since you didn't see the upper cabinets?!

    You”re very welcome! Looks fine from the weird angle pic:)

    Wow, if that doesn't show the need to ask for a full picture before giving advice. Those are totally a different proportion than I thought they were based on the close up shots.

    IMOwe needed to see the rest of the kitchen and how the pulls were done. IMO a nice long pull on a tall cabinet is a god look.

    @JAN MOYER  Well it's done now Thanks. Yes my fault for not having a better picture. I was in a panic I have too much going on to do this but Ty anyways. The guy said if we're lower be awkward to open & pulls didn't come in a longer size so I stuck with all the same.

    @Paul F. Oops on my part for sure !! Hope it looks right now. The guy said so? oh well I can't even read the comments I'll get too upset if I messed up ! Thanks anyway

    It looks great. I'm just glad you didn't take my advice. It would have been too low. Pro Jan should have known to ask for not only a full picture of the cabinets but as Patricia says, a picture of the other cabinets in the room were needed. This could have been a disaster. I'm glad it wasn't. :)
