Cupboard Knob Backplates Buying Guide

What is a knob backplate for?

A backplate is a decorative plate fitted between the knob and the door. It frames the knob, adds period or contemporary detail and helps protect the timber or paintwork from knocks and fixing marks.

How do I choose the right size?

Match the plate to your knob or handle. Round plates suit single knobs, while long narrow plates can span the fixing centres of pull handles. Common handle centres include 96mm, 128mm and 160mm, so check your existing hole spacing before ordering.

Which finishes are available?

Choose from finishes including polished and antique brass, nickel, chrome and matt black to match your existing knobs and cabinet hardware.

How are they fitted?

The plate sits between the knob and door, secured as the knob's fixing bolt is tightened. Most can be fitted with a screwdriver.
