What’s included
- Fill old hardware holes with two-part wood filler
- Sand each patch flush with the cabinet face
- Spot-prime patched areas before painting
- Mark and drill new pilot holes for the replacement hardware layout
- Confirm all new knob or pull positions are consistent across the cabinet run
How it works
Fill and cure
We pack the old holes with a firm wood filler, let it cure fully, and sand it smooth rather than rushing the step and getting a sunken patch.
Spot-prime and touch up
We apply spot primer to the filled areas so they don't show through the final paint as a shinier spot.
Drill and install
We use a template or jig to drill new holes in precisely the right location, then test-fit the new hardware for perfect alignment.
Problems we fix
- Filler that shrinks slightly and shows as a small dimple under raking light
- New knobs drilled without a jig, leading to inconsistent heights across the cabinet run
- Patched holes still visible after painting because primer was skipped
- Old screw holes that are too large for the original filler to grip securely
Cabinet Knob Hole Filling in Charleston — FAQ
Can you fill the holes and drill new ones in the same visit?
Yes, with a fast-cure two-part epoxy filler. The patches harden within 20 minutes, and we can sand, prime, and drill new holes before we leave.
What if the new hardware has a completely different hole spacing?
Different bolt patterns are exactly why this service exists. We fill the old holes and drill fresh ones wherever the new hardware requires — no limitation on placement.
Will the patches show after painting?
Properly filled, sanded, and primed patches are nearly invisible under a standard paint coat. Glossy paint is more revealing than eggshell or satin, so we prime carefully on painted doors.
Do I need to paint after the patching?
For bare wood or stained cabinets, the patch may need color matching. For painted cabinets, a spot coat of the existing cabinet paint after priming is typically all that's needed.
Cabinet Knob Hole Filling across Charleston
Charleston's humid subtropical climate, salt air and active storm season are tough on homes — swollen doors, rusting hardware, mildew-prone caulk and storm-loosened trim are all common. Downtown's historic houses add original plaster walls and tight, detailed millwork, while West Ashley and the islands bring newer builds with their own quirks. Our pros are comfortable with both.
