Who this list is for
This bathroom vanity hardware replacement checklist is for swapping visible cabinet knobs or pulls while keeping the vanity itself in place. It is especially useful when matching existing holes or planning a new pull layout.
How to use this list
Remove one old knob or pull first and measure its hole spacing with a tape measure or cabinet hardware measuring jig. Set screws in a small parts tray so they do not disappear into the bathroom. Use painter's tape and a pencil to mark new positions. If drilling is needed, wear safety glasses and use a drill bit matched to the mounting screws. Install the cabinet pulls or knobs with matching mounting screws, then wipe the vanity with microfiber cloths.
Common mistakes
Do not buy pulls based only on their overall length; hole spacing is what must match. Avoid drilling before checking the measuring jig marks on each door and drawer. If old holes will remain visible, plan for cabinet-hole plug filler, fine-grit sanding, and touch-up paint matched to the vanity.

When you are done
Open every door and drawer to check that the new hardware is straight, secure, and comfortable to grip. Save one spare mounting screw if available.
