Technical Support

Q, What are M4 screws?

A, These are the fixing screws that are needed to secure your cabinet handle or cabinet knob, they are 4mm in diameter and are available in a variety of sizes in length.

Q, How do I measure for M4 fixing screws?

A, What we suggest is to measure the thickness of the door, drawer or whatever you might be fixing to and add another 3mm or 4mm to the thickness and this is the size you require, eg: an average kitchen door is 20/22mm thick so 25mm will be needed. All of our cabinet handles and knobs are supplied with 25mm screws free of charge as standard, alternative sizes are also available to purchase on our fixing screws page

Q, What are hole centres?

A, These are the distance between two fixing points of a cabinet handle or cabinet knob.

A, You will need a drill with drill bit ideally a 4.8mm in size, a flat or crossheaded screwdriver, tape measure and about 1 hour of your time for an average size kitchen.
