Cabinet Hardware and Drawer Pull Installation in Austin, TX

Replacing outdated or worn-out cabinet handles and drawer pull knobs is a small project with a significant impact. If you’re looking to modernize or change styles, you have many options to choose from. And don’t forget the hinges. Soft-close hinges offer improved functionality by quieting the closing of cabinet doors and reducing scuffs and scratches. When it’s time to enhance your kitchen, bathroom, home, office, or garage with new cabinet handles and drawer pulls, count on our cabinet hardware and drawer pull installation service team of professionals.

Installing new handles and pulls may be as simple as removing the old and attaching the new hardware. However, it might also involve drilling new holes for attachment points and re-sanding, repainting, or re-staining the cabinet and drawer faces.

Things to Consider Before You Buy Cabinet Hardware

When shopping for cabinet hardware, your choices include the type, design, materials, finishes, and ease of installation.

Design – Knobs or Pulls?

One of the first decisions you must make involves what type of hardware you want to use to open and close your cabinet doors and drawers. The two most common types are knobs and pulls. You can choose all knobs, all pulls, or a combination of both.

Knobs are available in many different geometric shapes and sizes, from round, oval, and egg-shaped to multi-sided shapes. There are also plenty of novelty knobs for you to choose from, including vegetable or fruit-shaped ones for your kitchen, sea turtles, lighthouses, and anchors for your bathroom. Pulls are typically long and narrow cylinders or rectangular prisms. But there are also center-cup caps, tab pulls, and finger pulls. And again, novelty pulls are also available. When planning an installation, knobs usually require one attachment point and pulls require two attachment points.

Materials and Finishes

Knobs and pulls can be made of plastic, wood, ceramic, glass, acrylic, steel and stainless steel, brass, aluminum, iron, copper, nickel, and pewter. Both knobs and pulls are available in many different colors and finishes. Finish options can include brushed metal, polished metal, satin, satin nickel, matte, antique, distressed, gloss, Venetian, oil-rubbed bronze, and combination finishes.

Installation Considerations

Replacing knobs and handles can be easy if your new hardware can be attached using the existing attachment points from your old hardware. If new attachment points are necessary, consider using backplates, which can also add dimension and texture.

Installing knobs and handles on new cabinets is a bit more complicated. You will want to consult a placement guide before deciding where to place your hardware and, most certainly, before drilling any holes. The next step is to measure as accurately and precisely as possible using a cabinet hardware jig. Then, carefully drill the holes. If your cabinets are wood, use a sharp brad point drill bit. Attaching the new hardware with the proper length screws is the last step.

I first used this company to install a tankless water heater and extremely pleased with professionalism and quality of work performed from the guys that came out. I just recently had a water leak somewhere in the walls. Beto again came out and worked hard to find the leak. Nope not that easy. So with his knowledge of the way the original builder/plumber should have installed the plumbing he went to work opening up the wall. He found the leak, repaired it by installing new water lines to the manifold and was a treat to have in our house. Very professional and such a nice man. I would not call another plumbing company to work at my home even for half of what they charge (which I will add is a lot less than others). Thanks so much..

I had them come hang 2 light fixtures and mount my large tv. They were friendly, proffesional and fairly priced. I will use them again for all handyman services.

I was in a pinch, and Madison got me taken care of even while she was on vacation. She was able to get me on the schedule in just two days, and even gave me pricing up front...which if you've called a plumber before you'd know that is almost unheard of without them having to come out to do an "evaluation" first. Hope to not need a plumber again, but will definitely call these guys back if I do!

Extremely efficient and polite crew installed two Stealth Niagara toilets without a hitch and for a reasonable rate, no surprises. Removed all packing materials and old toilets. Very happy customer.

I called Indigo after receiving a bid from another company. The bid was less than 1/2 of the bid from the other company and Indigo came 5 days faster. When there is no hot water in your home it seems like an emergency. Indigo treated my situation like an emergency. After scheduling the repair they came on time, worked with my HOA for a temporary water shut off and installed the water heater. I had hot water within 3 days of calling. I would recommend them to anyone needing home repairs. They are the best.

I had 2 ceiling fans installed and am happy with how they turned out. My installer arrived slightly early (which is a plus), wore covers on his shoes in the house, and spoke with me about any questions or issues that arrived. He was professional and took his time to do a good job instead of a quick job. I will be looking into this business again for future projects.
