Why Calgary homeowners book this
Inconsistent handle placement is immediately visible
In a kitchen with 25+ pieces, handles that are even 5mm off position create a visible inconsistency across the row. Hand measuring each piece introduces cumulative error. A drill template eliminates it entirely — every handle lands in the exact same spot relative to the edge.
A drill template makes every hole identical
We set the template once, test on a scrap piece and then move through the kitchen methodically. Whether the kitchen has 10 pieces or 40, every hole is drilled at the same position. The result is hardware that looks professionally installed — because the method is professional.
Hinge adjustment is commonly needed alongside new hardware
Kitchens where hardware has never been installed often have doors that have drifted out of alignment over years of use. When we are already there for the hardware, we adjust the hinges for consistent gaps and smooth closing — no extra trip required.

Who books this service
Kitchen hardware refresh without full reno
New handles on existing cabinet doors are the fastest way to update a kitchen without a renovation. We install the full kitchen in one visit with consistent placement on every piece.
Bathroom vanity update
A single-door vanity or a full bathroom with multiple drawers — we install knobs or pulls with template-guided accuracy so the spacing is identical on every piece.
Moving in and replacing old hardware
New homeowners often replace builder-grade hardware as the first update. We handle the full install so existing hole positions are covered and new positions are consistent.
After cabinet painting — hardware is last
Cabinet painters leave hardware off until the paint cures. We come in after the painter is done and install all the handles in one visit — the final step in the refresh.
Pre-sale kitchen update
Updated cabinet hardware is one of the highest-return pre-sale improvements in Calgary. A full kitchen handle install costs $65–$145 and consistently improves buyer perception.
Gift install for new homeowners
New homeowners often buy hardware but do not have the tools for consistent placement. We handle the install as a standalone visit — a practical gift that makes an immediate difference.
What to have ready before we arrive
A quick prep ensures we can complete the full install in one visit without any delays.
Have all hardware purchased and counted
Count every door and drawer front before booking. Have all handles, screws and any included templates on hand before we arrive. Missing hardware means a second visit — the count you send us is what we plan for.
Know your preferred placement position
Decide whether you want centre-mounted or offset placement — for example, 50mm from the top corner on door fronts and centred on drawer fronts. If unsure, we advise on the most common positions for your door and drawer sizes before drilling starts.
Note any misaligned cabinet doors
Walk the kitchen before we arrive and note any doors that are uneven, do not close cleanly or have visible gaps at the frame. We adjust hinges in the same visit at no extra charge — identifying them in advance speeds up the process.
Tip: If you are choosing between bar pull lengths, hold the pull against the drawer front before purchasing — the pull should be roughly two-thirds the width of the drawer front for the best visual proportion.
★★★★★Google Review“Installed handles on 26 cabinet and drawer fronts in one visit. Every single one is exactly the same distance from the corner. The kitchen looks like a different room.”
Inconsistent hole placement is impossible to fix without patching
Without a drill template, handles land at slightly different positions on each door — and the inconsistency is immediately visible in a kitchen with 20+ pieces. Patching mis-drilled holes and redrilling correctly requires wood filler, sanding and repainting each door front. Getting it right the first time costs nothing extra.
Cabinet hardware in Calgary kitchens is often the last update before selling. A full kitchen handle replacement costs $65–$145 and consistently increases buyer perception by more than the labour cost — it is one of the highest-return pre-sale improvements available.

Frequently asked questions
Do you supply the handles and hardware?
No. We install customer-supplied hardware only. You choose and purchase the handles, knobs or pulls you want — we install them with no markup on the product. This gives you full control over the style and finish.
How do you ensure consistent placement?
We use a drill template — a guide that sits against the corner of each door or drawer front and marks the exact drill position every time. The template is set once and every piece lands in the identical spot relative to the edge.
What is a drill template?
A drill template is a guide that clamps or sits against the corner of a cabinet door or drawer front and marks where to drill for the handle screws. It eliminates hand measuring on each piece and ensures consistent placement across an entire kitchen.
Can you install bar pulls and knobs in the same kitchen?
Yes. Many kitchen designs use bar pulls on drawer fronts and knobs on doors. We handle both in one visit — the template is adjusted for the different hardware styles and hole spacings.
Do you adjust cabinet hinges?
Yes. Hinge adjustment is a free add-on when booked alongside a hardware install. We adjust European-style concealed hinges for consistent gaps, even alignment and a smooth, quiet close.
How long does a full kitchen take?
A kitchen with 20–30 pieces typically takes 2–3 hours including setup, drilling, installation and cleanup. The first piece takes the longest to set the template. Every piece after that moves quickly.
Can you install handles on painted cabinets without chipping?
Yes. We use masking tape over the drill point on painted surfaces to prevent chip-out at the edge of the hole. Painted cabinet fronts require more care than raw wood but produce a clean result with the right technique.
What if a hole is drilled in the wrong position?
This is precisely why we use a template and test on scrap before the first real piece. A mis-drilled hole requires wood filler, sanding and repainting — expensive on painted cabinets. Correct placement the first time is the purpose of the template process.
Can you install cabinet hinges?
We adjust existing European-style concealed hinges as part of any hardware visit. Full hinge replacement — removing old hinges, patching and installing new concealed hinges — is a larger scope quoted separately.
How do I count how many handles I need?
Count every cabinet door and every drawer front. Each door gets one knob or one pull. Each drawer front gets one pull or one knob. Do not forget island doors or any pantry doors. Send the count when you request a quote — we confirm it from your photos.
