Update ktchen door hardware spray door hinges.
This is the spray paint we bought to update the door handles and it comes in all colors including rubbed bronze if that is what you want.
But the hinges well they were a whole other story and the main subject of today s post.
Too expensive to buy new hinges.
Saw off the top portion of the door leaving several inches above the middle hinge.
The first thing that you are going to need to do is remove the hardware from your furniture door or cabinet.
Remove your hardware from the piece and clean it with tsp wash or a degreaser.
Be sure the spray paint is intended for metal surfaces and both indoor and outdoor use if necessary.
After it is dry reinstall the hardware on the door.
And by hardware i mean the cabinet door knobs and drawer pulls as well as the pantry doorknobs.
Cut out a section in the middle of the door piece and replace it with pet proof screening.
I referred to another tutorial that said to spray the knobs with acrylic.
Just did this two ways.
We wanted our door handles to not stand out in the room and to blend in.
Update those kitchen cabinets with style and elegance with the classic hardware 2 pack cabinet door hinge self closing face mount overlay oil rubbed bronze.
I wanted them replaced with satin nickel farmhouse style hardware.
To ensure no fingerprints are left in the paint allow the hardware to dry for 24 hours.
Looks sooo much better.
Plus removing the hinges knobs and pulls allows.
To make a door like the one shown remove an existing solid core interior door and all its hardware.
Plan to do it to match our orb in our current house too brass hinges but want to replace the doors so won t do it until then.
That actually caused bubbles and an uneven surface so second time around i skipped the acrylic.
You cannot clean hardware while it s still attached because you will risk damaging the wood or other elements.
You can use synthetic steel wool i always have ssw on hand and use it for so many things to help get any old flaky finish off if you need and smooth everything out then wipe the hardware down with a cleaner.
After the primer has thoroughly dried spray hardware with metallic paint 7 the home depot.
I spray painted all the hinges at my old house to match the new iron style handles.
Rustoleum satin nickel paint primer in one we didn t use any other paint but this one and applied 5 coats to get.
By spray painting the hinges we saved around 100 00.
I also didn t want to remove the hinges so i painted them the same color as the door with a regular paint brush and the door looks amazing.
