Chicago Handyman Service
Cabinet Hardware Installation in Chicago
MainteGO installs and replaces cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, handles, and selected minor cabinet hardware in Chicago kitchens, bathrooms, built-ins, and storage areas. We can reuse matching holes or lay out new knob and pull positions when the cabinet fronts and selected hardware are suitable.
Count every door and drawer, measure existing hole spacing, and send photos of the cabinet fronts and new hardware. If the new pulls do not match the old holes, show both patterns before purchasing or scheduling because exposed holes may require filling and refinishing.

What Affects Cabinet Hardware Installation
Door material, existing holes, hardware spacing, quantity, and alignment expectations determine the installation plan.
Hole Spacing and Hardware Size
For pulls, provide center-to-center spacing, overall length, screw size, and door or drawer thickness.
Existing Holes
New hardware may expose old holes or require a different repair and refinishing scope if the patterns do not match.
Cabinet Material
Solid wood, MDF, laminate, veneer, glass, and thin drawer fronts require different drilling and compatibility considerations.
Quantity and Layout
Count every door and drawer and identify the desired position, orientation, and any appliances or trim that limit clearance.
Count before you order

Cabinet Hardware FAQ
Cabinet Hardware Questions
Usually, but a two-hole pull needs a new hole and may leave the old knob hole visible. Send the pull dimensions, desired position, and close photos of the cabinet fronts before purchasing the full set.
New holes can be laid out and drilled in suitable cabinet fronts after the placement is approved. Drilling is permanent, so the material, thickness, hardware, and clearances need to be checked first.
Measure from the center of one screw hole to the center of the other. This is the center-to-center measurement. Also send the overall pull length, screw length, and door or drawer thickness.
Different spacing often leaves an old hole exposed. Filling and refinishing that hole is a separate finish issue; in some cases, a matching pull size or backplate is the cleaner option. Send both the old and new measurements before installation.
Minor adjustment of standard hinges may be possible when the doors and cabinet boxes are sound. Broken hinges, damaged doors, loose boxes, or widespread alignment problems need a broader kitchen or carpentry review.
Have the complete quantity of knobs or pulls, compatible screws, and any product-specific templates or parts. Count every door and drawer and open the packages early enough to catch missing or mismatched pieces.
Yes, when the total count, hole pattern, hardware, and layout are provided in advance. Include wide photos of the kitchen and note appliances, trim, or tight corners that affect handle clearance.
