• 6 mint green glass knobs
• 6 brass-colored metal screws
• 6 brass-colored metal hex nuts

Gather Supplies

Aside from the contents of the knob set, you will need a few household tools for installation:

• Power drill
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Measuring tape
• Pencil
• Safety goggles

Safety goggles should always be worn when using a power drill. Optionally, you may also want to have a household hammer available.

Remove Old Knobs & Handles

Before installing the new glass knobs, remove all of the old knobs and handles from your cabinets and drawers. It's easiest to use a flathead screwdriver to pry the old knobs loose, working your way around the edges of the backplate.

With the old knobs detached, thoroughly clean the surface where new knobs will be installed. Use a household cleaner to remove any old grime, dust, or grease for the best adhesion.

Mark Placement for New Knobs

Determine the exact spot you want to install each new knob. For a uniform linear look, measure out equal spacing between each knob location. Use a pencil to mark the center point of each knob placement on the cabinet drawers/doors.

Install Knobs

The installation process for the mint renew glass drawer knobs is simple:

1. Place one of the reversible brass backplates over your marked knob location, oriented so the screws line up properly with the drawer/cabinet thickness.
2. Use a power drill with an appropriately sized drill bit to make holes where the two screw holes are located.
3. Thread the screws through the backplate holes into the freshly drilled holes.
4. Slide a brass hex nut over the end of each screw from the back side of the drawer/door.
5. Tighten the nuts with a screwdriver until flush against the back surface.
6. Twist the decorative glass knob piece onto the screw heads until gently snug.

Take care not to overtighten the glass knobs to prevent cracking. Repeat this process for installing a knob at each placement location.

FAQs About Glass Knobs

Are the Knobs Strong Enough for Cabinets?

While glass knobs have a delicate appearance, mint renew glass drawer knobs feature tempered glass that is actually quite resilient. Tempered glass goes through a heating/cooling treatment that makes it 4-5 times stronger than untempered glass. This allows it to stand up well to the rigors of heavily used kitchens and bathrooms.

How Can I Clean Smudges from the Glass Material?

Like any glass surface, mint renew glass knobs are prone to fingerprints, water spots, and other smudges. Luckily, glass is very easy to keep clean and sparkling.

For cleaning glass knobs, use a microfiber cloth or soft paper towel with a small amount of rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner product. Gently rub stained areas until fully dissolved. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads/sponges on the glass finish to prevent scratching.

With their eye-catching mint green glass and vintage shape, mint renew glass drawer knobs provide an easy yet dramatic upgrade for tired kitchen cabinets, dressers, and more. Their affordable price point makes these decorative knobs a budget-friendly project for instant transformation.
