How do I attach drawer pulls if I don't have the right screws?
+10
I bought a set of beautiful drawer pulls from China that are exactly what I wanted...except, they were missing the screws. They gave me a partial refund but let me keep the pulls. Any ideas how I attach them? I'll keep on attaching the fused glass design in the meantime... Thanks!

Hi- Drawer knobs have a pretty standard size for the bolts to fit. The ones that are on your current knobs might actually fit. Or.take one with you to your nearest hardware store and find the size that fits the opening. The length of the bolt is the primary concern. It has to be long enough to screw snugly into the knob but also to pass through the thickness of the drawer and be secured tightly to the drawer on the inside

Take one of them with you & go to Lowe's hardware store. Go to the department where the screws & nails are. Find a rep to help you in that department & they will help you find & fit the size screws you need. U may even find some decorative headed screws that would complement your design. GOOD LUCK! :)

I, too, just purchased some knobs from China. They came with the bolts but I needed longer ones. Stupid me, I was sure they were #6s but I'm glad I checked at Home Depot. They were really a metric size, not as easy to find, so had to order online. But yes def check with someone who knows bolt sizes, esp length.

Most knobs in the US take a 8/32 size bolt. However, the knobs from China are likely to require a metric sized bolt. Our local Sutherlands building center has them in bulk. Take a knob with you to the store.

Take pull with you to hardware store and ask for help locating screws that fit. Works everytime and screws are inexpensive.
