Materials
Brass and stainless steel last well in kitchens, wood suits traditional furniture, ceramic adds colour and zinc alloy is cheaper but wears faster. Check for solid parts and clean threads.
Screw length and thread
Most knobs use an M4 thread, and screw length must match drawer front thickness plus knob base. Too short screws loosen and too long screws poke through. Many knobs come with a few lengths.
Size and projection
Knobs of 25 to 35 mm diameter suit drawers, while larger knobs suit doors and bigger cabinets. Projection should leave space for fingers without catching clothes.
Spacing and fitting
Fit one knob in the centre of a drawer front, or two on wide drawers, and place door knobs near the opening edge at a comfortable height. Use a template for even placement. Fitting should be done by a trained locksmith or carpenter, and the door, frame and hinges checked for fit and strength first.
Before you decide
Choose a shape and finish that suits the cabinet, check screw length and use a template. Compare at least two quotes on the same specification, keep the invoice and warranty card, ask for the model name and material in writing and test the product on your own door or in your own room before paying in full. Keep a spare key, card or code record in a safe place, and ask the seller what happens if the item fails within the warranty period. Photographs of the delivered item and its packaging make any claim much simpler later. Prices change with exchange rates and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
