How Do You Install a 96mm Hole to Hole Cabinet Handle?

Installation is straightforward and can be completed in minutes with basic tools. Most handles come complete with all necessary mounting screws.

First, measure and mark. Determine the desired position on your cabinet door or drawer front. Measure and mark the 96mm centre-to-centre distance accurately using a template or ruler.

Second, drill pilot holes. If your furniture does not have pre-drilled holes, drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Ensure the holes are perfectly aligned.

Third, position the handle. Place the handle against the door or drawer front. Align the screw holes with your drilled holes.

Finally, secure the handle. Insert the screws from the inside of the door through the pilot holes and into the handle’s threaded posts. Tighten securely but not excessively to avoid damage.

For glass doors, consider using washers to protect the glass surface. Tighten screws only moderately. Some handles include snap-off mounting screws that can be shortened to suit different door thicknesses.
