What are the Different Types of Cabinet Hardware?
The different types of cabinet hardware include knobs, drawer pulls, and decorative hinges. There are further divisions by period, motif, material, design, and orientation. Whether you’d like a barely visible slot as a recessed handle on a bathroom vanity drawer or an elaborate teardrop pull with a scrolled backplate, there are many types to accompany the rest of your furniture’s accents. Other smaller hardware pieces keep cabinets closed instead of helping to open them, such as hook-and-eye closures and slot-and-key latches. Cabinet knobs usually attach with one screw, therefore they are roundish and compact. The most standard knobs are flat rounds and mushroom shapes, but they can be freeform swirls, dragonflies, square imprints, or elongated utensils. They are not relegated to kitchen cabinets, but can decorate toy chests, utility organizers, and etageres in other rooms of the house. Drawer pulls have more dynamic functions than knobs, as they are oriented vertically or horizontally
