Frequently Asked Questions

How many hinges does a typical cabinet door need?

Most standard-height doors use 2 hinges, but taller or heavier doors (like pantry doors) often need 3 for proper support.

Should I buy extra hardware beyond the exact count?

Yes, a 5-10% buffer covers installation mistakes, stripped screws, or future replacements, and matching finishes years later can be difficult or impossible.

Do knobs or pulls cost more per unit?

Pulls are often slightly more expensive than knobs due to using more material, but pricing varies widely by finish and brand.
