Replacing Kitchen Cabinet Handles?

My kitchen cupboard and draw handles are off colour and grimy despite my efforts to clean them!

I have seen loads of similar handles in Wickes, The Range and Wilko etc however, i don't understand the sizing and there are no samples in the stores which i can try the screw with to see if it fits.

They say 27mm  30mm 35mm 40mm on the packs which i think is the length of screw but mine is 26mm. No mention of thickness of screw which i'm concerned about.

I don't want to pay almost a tenner for something i am unable to return after opening.
Enjoy everyday like it's your last!

  • Take one of your screws and compare to one in the packet.
    Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'

    the size is probably the diameter of the knob. They usually come with screws to suit.
