I have read not to put it on because then it doesn't temp you or others to try to open it. I was helping my friend move and I was taking all of her kitchen stuff out of cabinets and putting it in boxes. I must have tried 100 times to open the fake drawers checking to make sure everything was out of the cabinets.

dirtymartini, I feel your pain! When hubby and I decided to make our own kitchen cabinets we got TONS of nasty remarks about not having the skill, not being able to finish, blah blah blah! Well let me tell ya, cabinet boxes are EASY! And as far as finishing, I talked to some very nice cabinet makers that didn't make me feel like and idiot that gave me brands of brush on finish that is almost as good as spray. We did a clear finish instead of paint though. The cabinet grade plywood is very pretty with a clear finish. I don't know where you are located, but we visited woodworking stores, and wood supply warehouses. Not Lowe's and HD, they really don't know a lot there. These people were wonderful! They really went above and beyond the call of duty to help us. They gave us the confidence to do this project, and we decided to go ahead and build doors too. They are turning out beautiful, if I do say so myself. I will say it has taken way longer than buying, but we are saving soooo much money. Our estimate for cabinets was $25,000 for cabinets. We will come in welllllll under $10,000, and we went with a budget busting wood. We got reclaimed wormy chestnut, one of the most expensive woods out there. And we had to buy some tools, this is included in the total amount. Oh, and as far as Blum goes, they are nice. We used them on the upper drawers all around our kitchen. Then we found knock off glides at half the price. No, they don't glide quite as easily, but they are way nicer than side mount glides. Oh, and Kreg screws/jig are your friend for making drawer boxes. I guess what I am trying to say in my rambling post (sorry!) is that you can do it! Ignore the nay-sayers, find people that give good advice, and go for it! Oh, and post pictures as you go please! I'm always so excited to read other DIY posts. S P.S. If he has a router, Freud has a fabulous bit set to make raised panel doors. Easy! P.S.S. I'll answer any questions you have if I can, and I won't make you feel like an idiot in the process, I promise! :)

I have the touch latches on cabs above range hood. Because they are functional doors and not 1 piece panel like happyallison posted, it still looked odd without knobs. So I now have the magnetc latches AND knobs. The knobs are there for looks/symmetry. I do have a metal hood, not the wood hood, maybe that's the diff. Also I notice the wood front panel posted by happyallison stretches up to the crown, whereas my upper, upper cabs run straight across the metal hood. Again, maybe that's the diff.

I love the stainless pulls from Lee Valley they come in all sizes so you can do really proprtional pulls everywhere I use them so often for myself and clients and we all love them . IMO you have lots of angles with the cabinet doors so I would not hesitate to do round ones for both look and feel.These are the ones I use and you can see how they are used to be in proportion and also in the right direction I use painters tape to figure out where they go and what size to use.
