What to confirm before you order cabinet hardware

Cabinet hardware is used every time a door or drawer opens, so the fit and finish matter as much as the look. The right handle, hinge and drawer slide keep a cabinet working smoothly and securely. Before you order, confirm the hole spacing, the door or drawer weight and the finish that matches the furniture. This guide walks through the decisions for each part.

Cabinet handles: match the hole spacing to the drawer or door

A cabinet handle is the part you grip to open a drawer or door. The two things that matter most are the hole spacing and the finish.

  • Hole spacing (center-to-center): confirm the distance between the fixing holes so the handle fits the drawer or door prep.

  • Handle style: bar, T-bar and knob are common options. Choose the style that matches the furniture design.

  • Finish: satin, polished and matte black are common options. Choose the finish that matches the furniture and expected wear.

Material options include zinc alloy and stainless steel. Confirm the exact grade with your supplier so the handle matches the furniture and the expected service life.

Cabinet hinges: size them to the door weight

A cabinet hinge carries the door and controls the swing. The hinge size and the number of hinges per door depend on the door weight and thickness.

  • Confirm the door weight and thickness to choose the hinge size and number per door.

  • Confirm the opening angle required for the cabinet layout.

  • Choose the finish and material for the cabinet environment.

Material options include zinc alloy and steel. Confirm the grade with your supplier so the hinge matches the door weight.

Drawer slides: match the length and load class to the drawer

A drawer slide supports and guides the drawer during extension and closing. The slide length and load class depend on the drawer size and the weight it carries.

  • Confirm the drawer length and depth to choose the slide length.

  • Confirm the load class required for the drawer contents.

  • Choose the mounting type (side-mount or under-mount) for the cabinet.

The slide is made of cold-rolled steel. Confirm the load class and finish with your supplier so the slide matches the drawer.

Furniture legs: set the height and carry the load

A furniture leg supports tables, chairs and cabinets and sets their height. The leg length and style depend on the furniture design and the load it carries.

  • Confirm the furniture height required to choose the leg length.

  • Choose the leg style (straight, tapered or adjustable) for the furniture look.

  • Confirm the mounting plate and fixing points for the furniture base.

Confirm the material and finish with your supplier so the leg matches the furniture and the load.

How to compare suppliers

When you compare cabinet hardware suppliers, ask for the same information from each one: material grade, finish options, hole spacing and load class, and the sample policy. A supplier that can confirm these details for your furniture is easier to work with than one that only quotes a price.
