Multiple rooms
Use a schedule when hardware appears across kitchens, pantries, utility rooms, wardrobes, dressing rooms, vanities, bars, media joinery or appliance panels.
Whole-Home Cabinet Hardware Schedule Guide | Capramont & Co
A whole-home cabinet hardware schedule controls the handles, knobs, pulls, finishes, quantities and approval notes across every room in a joinery project. Capramont & Co helps specifiers coordinate British-made cabinet hardware through samples, finish sign-off, PDP proof, tear sheets, project review and Hardware Schedule support before made-to-order production.
Project control
Use one controlled hardware record across the whole home
The risk on a whole-home cabinetry project is not usually one incorrect handle. It is allowing the kitchen, pantry, utility, wardrobes, dressing room, vanity and tall units to become separate decisions. A Hardware Schedule keeps product family, size, centres, finish, quantity, approval status and revisions together before production.
When to use it

When a Hardware Schedule is better than simple product ordering
Several approvals
Use one record when a designer, client, joiner, procurement buyer or project manager needs to approve the same product and finish decisions.
Made-to-order control
Use a schedule before production when finish sign-off, centre sizes, quantities, custom centres or revisions need to be agreed clearly.
Specification rule
Keep one finish logic. Keep one design language.
A whole-home scheme does not need every room to use the same piece of hardware. It does need controlled variation. Use different formats only where the cabinetry function demands it.
Controlled variation can mean
- Pull handles on main kitchen drawers and base units.
- Longer handles for tall units and integrated appliance fronts.
- Knobs or T-bars for smaller doors and secondary rooms.
- C pulls for quieter, lower-profile elevations.
- Cup pulls for pantry, utility or traditional drawer runs.
- One physical finish sign-off route before made-to-order production.
Room-by-room plan
Whole-home hardware schedule table
Use this as the visible planning layer before a formal schedule is created. It helps specifiers understand the project logic.
| Room or joinery area | Recommended hardware route | Schedule note |
|---|---|---|
| Main kitchen drawers | Pull handles, cabinet pulls or cup pulls | Keep centre sizes consistent across drawer banks and repeat finish logic across the room. |
| Upper kitchen doors | Knobs, T-bars or shorter handles | Align placement to a consistent datum before drilling. |
| Pantry and utility | Pull handles, cup pulls, knobs or T-bars | Prioritise high-use formats, practical grip and easy re-order reference. |
| Tall units | Longer cabinet handles | Confirm centre size, projection, door thickness and placement before production. |
| Integrated appliance fronts | Longer pull handles | Review fixing, panel weight, projection and access requirements. |
| Wardrobes and dressing rooms | Longer pulls, C pulls, knobs or T-bars | Keep finish connected to the wider home while adjusting scale for the elevation. |
| Bathroom vanity | Knobs, pulls or cup pulls | Confirm finish expectations and care guidance before approval. |
| Home bar or media joinery | Feature pulls, C pulls or cabinet handles | Treat as a controlled feature route, not a separate random decision. |
Schedule fields
What the Hardware Schedule should record
A whole-home schedule should be a project control document, not a loose shopping list. It should connect the product choice to the room, drawing reference, size, finish, quantity and approval status.
| Schedule field | What to include | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Room / area | Kitchen, pantry, utility, wardrobe, vanity, bar, media room | Prevents hardware being ordered without location context. |
| Drawing / elevation reference | Plan, elevation, cabinet run or marked-up drawing | Connects the hardware to the correct joinery location. |
| Product name and PDP | Selected handle, knob, pull, cup pull, C pull or T-bar | Gives the team one product proof route. |
| Size and centre-to-centre | Overall length and fixing centres where supplied | Reduces drilling, fitting and re-order mistakes. |
| Finish | Heritage finish or Atelier material route where relevant | Controls whole-home consistency before production. |
| Quantity | Count by room, product and size | Reduces missed doors, over-ordering and later confusion. |
| Approval and revision | Draft, reviewed, approved, revised and revision number | Protects the project when drawings or client decisions change. |
Proof before ordering
Specification proof available before made-to-order production
Use PDP imagery, product videos where available, product specification sheets, finish samples and project review to confirm finish, scale, centres and room-by-room product direction before ordering.
Finish sign-off
Use a physical Finish Sign-Off Knob or sample route to approve the finish beside cabinetry, stone, timber, appliances and project lighting.
Project review
Send drawings, elevations, door counts, existing schedules or product shortlists when the project needs review before scheduling.
Trade route
Approved trade and project buyers can use trade access for repeat ordering, project support and account-based ordering where suitable.
Product routes
Product proof examples for a whole-home schedule
These examples can be used as proof routes. Keep the schedule practical: product type, centres, finish and room role should be clear before ordering.
Beaufort Cabinet Handle
Multi-room pull route for kitchens, wardrobes, utility rooms and contemporary joinery.
Burlington Cabinet Handle
Longer handle route for tall units, appliance banks, feature cabinetry and statement elevations.
Farringdon Handle
Flexible kitchen, pantry, wardrobe and appliance-scale route for whole-home projects.
Westbourne Cabinet Pull
Feature pull route for kitchen, dressing room, bar, media and Art Deco-led cabinetry.
Westbourne C Pull
Lower-profile route for quieter elevations, bar joinery, dressing rooms and contemporary cabinetry.
Egerton Cup
Cup pull route for kitchens, pantries, utility rooms and traditional drawer fronts.

| 5. Lead time planning | Align made-to-order production with joinery, install and client approval dates. | Lead Times & Scheduling |
| 6. Trade route | Approved trade buyers use account routes for repeat ordering and project support. | Trade Access |
What to send
What to send for a whole-home schedule
Send as much project information as you already have. A complete schedule is easier to control when drawings, elevations, counts, finishes and approval requirements are stored together.
- Plans, elevations or marked-up cabinetry drawings.
- Door and drawer counts by room or joinery run.
- Existing hardware schedule, if one already exists.
- Preferred collections, product types or PDP links.
- Finish direction or finish samples under consideration.
- Special conditions such as appliance panels or tall units.
- Custom centre or existing-hole requirements.
- Client, designer, joiner or procurement approval stages.

FAQs
Whole-home hardware schedule FAQs
What is a whole-home cabinet hardware schedule?
A whole-home cabinet hardware schedule is a controlled record of the handles, knobs, pulls, finishes, quantities and approvals for every cabinet area in a project. It helps designers, joiners, clients and procurement teams avoid mismatched products, missing quantities and unclear revisions.
When should I start a Hardware Schedule?
Start a Hardware Schedule when the project includes multiple rooms, drawings, elevations, door counts, existing schedules or several approval stages. A simple single-room order may only need product selection, samples and a project enquiry.
Should all cabinet hardware match across the whole home?
Not always. The scheme should feel controlled rather than identical. Many projects keep one finish family and one design language, then vary the hardware type where function requires it, such as longer pulls for tall units or knobs for smaller doors.
Can kitchen, wardrobe and bathroom hardware use the same finish?
Yes, one finish can create continuity across kitchens, wardrobes, dressing rooms and vanity cabinetry. The finish should be physically checked under project lighting and against cabinetry, stone, timber, appliances and nearby metalwork before production.
Can Capramont review drawings before scheduling?
Yes. Drawings, elevations, door counts, existing schedules, early product selections and finish notes can be sent through the project route. A Hardware Schedule is most useful when this information needs to become one controlled record.
