It’s a straightforward process to replace bedroom dresser handles as long as you have the proper tools handy.
To start the replacement process, gather a screwdriver, a drill, new hardware, wood filler, and the appropriate screws. Begin by removing the old handles from the dresser with a screwdriver. If you’re removing handles from drawers, it might be easier to take the drawers out of the dresser before starting.
If the new handles are a different size than the old ones, you’ll need to drill new holes. Then it’s time to fill in the old holes. Protect the drawer or door’s interior by covering the old holes on the dresser’s inside with green painter’s tape. Then take your wood filler and put it in the old holes, ensuring that it’s flat to the drawer’s surface. You may need sandpaper to work the hardened wood filler down until it’s flush with the dresser’s surface. In this case, you’ll also likely want to repaint the dresser to ensure the filled holes blend in.
Now you can simply screw the new hardware into the holes you previously drilled.
