Cabinet Hardware 101
Scott Touchton
Cabinet knobs and pulls are now being used by designers to add finer details to a home's overall decorating theme. Manufacturers of decorative hardware are making the designer's job easier by offering more styles and design options. Emtek Products is one of these companies who manufacturers door, bath and cabinet hardware in various collection styles so that homeowners can have hardware with consistent styles and finishes throughout their home.

For example, homeowners with smaller children can choose cabinet knobs and pulls for their children's bedrooms in bright primary colors, animal shapes or pictures of clothing items such as sock knobs for the sock drawer and shirt knobs for the shirt drawer.

Cabinet knobs are also produced from a variety of different materials venturing away from the more standard solid brass. Hardware customers can now choose products made from sandcast bronze, wrought steel, copper and chrome.

There are also many different combinations of types of hardware that you can use throughout your home. The more common selection is to use cabinet knobs on doors that swing outward and to use horizontally positioned pulls on slide out drawers. Pulls can be used throughout using pulls horizontally on slide out drawers and vertically on cabinet doors. Cup pulls and bin pulls are also being used more as they become more popular with designers.

When shopping for cabinet pulls, you should know the center-to-center measurement that you need.

Center to center (CTC) - Measurement from the center of one hole to the center of another. This measurement is used to measure both hardware and the surfaces to which hardware is applied.

If holes have not yet been drilled in your cabinets then you can start fresh and are not limited in your choices. If holes are already drilled in the cabinets for hardware, this can definitely limit your options of hardware. Common CTC sizes are 3”, 3-1/2” and 4”.

Some popular manufacturers of cabinet hardware are listed here: Alno, Ashley Norton, Baldwin, Colonial Bronze, Emtek, Fusion, Rocky Mountain, Top Knobs.

An Interesting History of Cabinets

"Before the advent of industrial design the cabinet maker was responsible for the conception and the production of any piece of furniture. In the last half of the 18th century , cabinet makers such as Thomas Sheraton , Thomas Chippendale and George Hepplewhite also published books of furniture forms. These books were compendiums of their designs and those of other cabinet makers.

With the industrial revolution and the application of steam (through rod and belt devices) and electrical power to cabinet making tools, mass prodution techniques were gradually applied to nearly all aspects of cabinet making, and the traditional cabinet shop ceased to be the main source of furniture, domestic or commercial. In parallel to this evolution there came a growing demand by the rising middle class in most industrialised countries for finely made furniture. This eventually resulted in a growth in the total number of traditional cabinet makers.

The arts and craft movement which started in the United Kingdom in the middle of the 19th century spurred a market for traditional cabinet making, and other craft goods. It rapidly spread to the United States and to all the countries in the British empire . This movement exemplified the reaction to the eclectic historicism of the Victorian era and to the 'soulless' machine-made production which was starting to become widespread.

After World War II woodworking became a popular hobby among the middle classes. The more serious and skilled amateurs in this field now turn out pieces of furniture which rival the work of professional cabinet makers. Together, their work now represents but a small percentage of furniture production in any industrial country, but their numbers are vastly greater than those of their counterparts in the 18th century and before.
