What thickness door or drawer will the knobs fit? Do I need longer bolts?

All the knobs with come fitted with a standard bolt.  The standard bolt will allow you to fix a knob to a door of 2.3cm thickness (this measurement includes a space of 0.5cm to accommodate the size of the locking nut), UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED ON THE INDIVIDUAL LISTING

If your door or drawer is thicker, we sell  longer bolts which will allow you to fix the knobs to a door of 3.3cm thickness.  These cost 99p each and are available from the Longer Bolts and Fixings section of the website.  For the larger diameter (4.5cm diameter) knobs, the threaded bolt is not detachable and cannot be changed for longer bolts so these knobs will only fit a door of thickness 2.3cm.
