I have kitchen cabinets with no door pulls that are hard to open but don’t really want the expense of drilling holes in every cabinet face and installing knobs. Are there any products out there that allow you to do this — like magentic knobs or pulls?

Drilling holes is the best way. If you dont want to, you can try an apoxy based glue (depending on the surface), but risk them falling off after repeated pulling or twisting.
I suppose there might be but why? You pick out handles that you like center them and mark your whole centers and drill. Put the bolt into the handle and you are done.
I can’t imagine a stick on would be that good and would only be as good as the glue or the wood.
A magnet handle would have to be so strong the cost would be so high by the time you did all your pulls you could pay someone to open and close the doors for you. Not really but it would be very expensive.
Drill them and be done with it.
Last I checked drilling holes didn’t cost anything…..Knobs are cheap as long as you buy ones that are in stock.
Buy or make a template so you put the hole in the same place for each door.
Usually, the only magnetic kind of cabinet or drawer knob is made for child-safety purposes. The door stays closed with a heavy-duty magnet system and a special knob is used to release the magnet, allowing the door to open. You only put the knob up to the door or drawer when you want to open it. You might could install these magnets, but it might get expensive. Also, only one knob comes with the kit, as far as I know, so you would have to use the same knob for each cabinet and drawer. I would say your best best is to just bite the bullet, drill a few holes, and install regular knobs. Just pick a single, simple knob for the doors and drawers and this way you only have to drill one hole per door/drawer. It will be easier if you make a template to mark the spot. It seems complicated but is really quite easy. You could also look in your phonebook for a local handyman. They could give you an estimate on how much it would cost to hire someone to do the task for you.
Here’s a link to the magnetic kits:

Good luck!
don’t they make knobs that screw-in like cup hooks ?
I would drill the holes any other means would be not recommended, gluing them on would be a problem when you decided to change them or one was damaged,it may ruin the finish getting them off.
The expense of drilling holes? Oh you mean you’re lazy. Good luck.
Sure you don’t have finger pulls milled in the bottom of the doors.
As long as you buy wood knobs, you can use carpenters glue..
