changing pulls on cabinets

how hard it is? are they all standard?

how do you go from a "pull" to a handle? do you have to repair the first hole and then drill two new for the handle?

Re: changing pulls on cabinets

Super easy and usually makes a big difference.

If you go from two holes to one, you can fill and re-drill them (if painting/refinishing them is easy enough); or you can purchase a decorative backplate to mask the old holes.

Re: changing pulls on cabinets

I changed the knobs on my kitchen cabinets and bout them from here :
My Knobs (I know, it sounds dirty).
There is a showroom in Carle Place, but you have to order them.
Great selection, almost overwhelming, but a fairly decent price.

I bout these :

Bought 25 of them for just over $100 with free shipping.
Oh, and this is a backplate with handle attached :
