Cabinet hardware sizes can vary depending on your own personal design preferences, but you’ll want to choose a size that is both stylish and functional. Bar pull sizes are generally determined by the “center-to-center” measurement (the distance between the two screw holes). If you have pre-drilled cabinetry, you’ll need to buy hardware that fits the existing center-to-center measurement. Otherwise, you’re left to your own devices in choosing the size of your cabinet hardware. Here are a few general guidelines to follow:

  • For oversized cabinetry (dimensions of 36″ or larger) such as drawers for built in appliances you may want to consider longer length pulls (6”, 8”, 10” or 12” center to center) or oversized knobs (diameter of 1-1/2” or larger).

  • For standard size cabinetry (dimensions of 12″ – 36″) the most common pull sizes are 3”,  4”, 96mm, and 128mm center to center (from one screw hole to another). Standard knob sizes are 1 1/4″ or 1 3/8″.

  • For small specialized cabinetry (narrow drawers or dimensions under 12″) like built-in spice racks, use smaller knobs under 1″ in diameter or T-pulls rather than bar pulls.
