Julie, Here's the inoformation you requested "Remove and Replace Drawer Handle: Metal Handles ¦ Using a ³/32" Allen wrench, loosen the two set screws located on the side of each handle. Pull the handle straight out from the drawer. Make sure you keep the screws for reattaching the handles. ¦ To replace the handle, reverse the directions. Plastic Handles ¦ To remove the handle, grasp the handle firmly, slide the handle to the left and pull the handle straight out from the drawer. ¦ To replace the handle, position the handle so that the large holes in the mounting clips are to the right and align the holes with the door studs. Rotate the handle so that the mounting clips are flat against the drawer and slide the handle to the right to engage." Good Luck and Thanks
