How to Remove a Cabinet Door Bow With Aluminum Stiffback

You can attach a variety of knobs or handles to your cabinet doors. Bow handles have a bowed-out shape that allows you to grasp the handle to open the cabinet. Certain handles have an aluminum stiff-back plate that helps to secure the handle to the cabinet door. If you are removing the bowed handle, the aluminum plate will come off as well.
