Cabinet Pulls & Knobs

This is a focused collection of handles, pulls and knobs for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, dressers and furniture. Most items come in multi-packs from 5 to 32 pieces, so a full kitchen can be done in one finish. Ravinte offers square bar handles in lengths up to 10 inches plus round knobs; Amerdeco and Asidrama carry arched, twisted and slim pulls in brushed satin nickel and champagne bronze; Goldenwarm, KOOFIZO and JOY DECOR add brushed brass and gold. Knob backplates from khtumeware are also included.

The measurement that matters most is hole-centre spacing, the distance between the two screw holes. Common sizes are 3 inches (76 mm), 3.75 inches (96 mm), 5 inches (128 mm) and 6.25 inches (160 mm); replacing pulls with the same spacing means no new holes. Next, consider overall length and projection, the gap your fingers get behind the handle. Finish is a style choice, but matte black, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze and champagne bronze vary between makers, so buy enough of one product to cover the whole room. Material also counts: stainless steel and solid zinc alloy feel more substantial than hollow pieces.

Check that the included screws suit your door thickness; thick shaker doors or drawer fronts with false faces may need longer machine screws. A drilling jig keeps holes consistent across dozens of drawers. If moving from knobs to pulls, a backplate can hide old holes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure cabinet pulls for replacement?

Measure from the centre of one screw hole to the centre of the other on your existing pull; this is the hole-centre or centre-to-centre spacing. Match that number to avoid drilling. Overall length is a separate dimension and can be longer than the spacing. Metric spacing like 96 mm or 128 mm is very common on modern cabinetry.

Should I use knobs or pulls on kitchen cabinets?

Many kitchens use knobs on doors and pulls on drawers, since pulls are easier to grip when opening a heavy drawer full of pots. An all-pull look feels more modern and is easier for anyone with limited grip. Very wide drawers, over about 60 cm, often look better with a longer pull or two knobs.

What if the screws that come with my pulls are too short?

Standard screws suit doors around 16 to 19 mm thick. Thicker doors or drawers with an applied front need longer screws in the same thread, usually 8-32 for imperial hardware or M4 for metric. Hardware stores sell breakaway screws that snap to length, which is handy when doing a large set.

Can I mix metal finishes on cabinet hardware?

Yes, it is a common design approach as long as it looks deliberate. A typical pairing is one finish for cabinet hardware and another for the faucet or light fixtures, such as matte black pulls with a brushed brass faucet. Keep each finish consistent within its group so the room reads as planned rather than mismatched.
