DIY? Nope Don’t Do It!

A rough list of needed items: drill and bits, screwdriver, wood putty and knife, new hardware and screws. We have the experience and over 100 five-star reviews.  You could spend hours finding hardware that exactly matches the size of your current hardware (which would be a time-consuming task) to avoid having to fill screw holes.

The Plan to Update Kitchen Hardware

First figure out what type of hardware will make your kitchen look new and updated.

Some options: antique brass, wood finished, nickel finished, China finished, glass, polished brass, cooper, matt black, polished chrome.  In 2022 matte black, and polished chrome are popular.

Watch Out For Broken Kitchen Drawers and Cabinets!

Are your old kitchen drawers falling out, and hard to open and close? Or maybe those drawers close too fast and slam on your hands?  Do your kitchen cabinet doors slam and disturb your family with unwanted noise? All these problems can be taken care of too.  Many upscale kitchens now have soft close hinges.  We can install new slow closing hinges to stop all the slamming noise.  We can repair your broken drawers to open and most importantly close slowly and quietly.  All this can be done while replacing cabinet hardware. So now we have a plan to replace the old worn out, grim filled, outdated hardware and while we are there, we’ll also repair drawers and add slow close hinges and drawer glides. Well, this sounds great.

Ok, New Kitchen Hardware, Done! Move on to Doors

But Oh No! Now My Kitchen Looks Great, But My Doors Need Updating Too! So, while you’re having us, Team Handy Dan, update your kitchen with new hardware, why not update all your hardware?  Doorknobs and door hinges also can be updated. We will change that old worn-out doorknob with a new lever type door handle.  Or maybe you’ll like to go old school and change to a classy glass doorknob. These beautiful crystal glass knobs have antique brass plates also. 

Just like your clothes, shoes and furniture, you can have your own style reflected in your doorknobs and hardware.  Do you like barndoor style? Chrome, glass, brass or copper?  Maybe you would like to update to lever type knobs.  These newer and more common handles work great if you have small children. They are easier for little hands to grasp and turn.  And senior members of your household will probably find lever handles also easier to operate.

Some Doorknob Trivia

At one time, the doorknob was only common in wealthier households.  Most homes just had a door bolt on their doors.  It wasn’t until 1878 that we see the first documentation of the doorknob invention by Osbourn Dorsey.

Doorknobs come in many types for materials such as metal, glass, and porcelain.  It’s interesting to note that Brass is naturally antimicrobial. With doorknobs being a usually very germy item, it’s a good idea to chose Brass.  It will look nice, withstand constant use and also ward off those nasty germs.
