"My name's Ryan Parker with Parker Home Renovations in New Braunfels, Texas, and today I'm going to teach you how to install a cabinet knob. There are a few materials you're going to need. The first material is you're going to have to find a cabinet knob that you like. You can get these at any local hardware store. You're also going to need a tape measure and you'll need a screw gun. You're actually going to need a drill bit for the end of that screw gun such as this. Now the first thing you want to do is you want to measure your cabinet door. You're going to want to measure it from side to side, take that measurement, cut it in half, and put a mark. Then you're going to want to measure it top to bottom and do the same thing. Take that measurement, cut it in half, and put a mark. Now I've already drilled this hole, but that is, that's how you get the location for the hole. Then what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to get your bit, stick it in the drill, and you're going to want to go ahead and drill your hole on that mark. Now once you have the hole drilled, then you can take your knob and you want to put the provided screw through the back of that hole you just created, and then screw the knob onto the screw, and then tighten it down real good. If you need to get it tighter than what you can get it with your hand, you can use a screw gun and put a Phillip's in on the screw gun and tighten the screw from the back side, or you can use a Phillip's screw driver to tighten it down from the back side.
