How to Choose Furniture Handle Size (Hole Spacing)?

The most common mistake when replacing a furniture handle is choosing the wrong size. The determining measurement for handles is the hole spacing (distance between hole centers) between the two screw holes, given in mm.

How is hole spacing measured?

Remove the existing handle and measure the distance from center to center of the two screw holes. Common measurements are 96 mm, 128 mm, 160 mm, and 192 mm. The hole spacing of the new handle must be the same as the existing holes; otherwise, you will need to re-drill the cabinet door.

Which handle is used where?

  • Long (bar) handles: For kitchen cabinets and wide drawers; 128-192 mm range is common. See our furniture handles collection.
  • Knob handles: Single-screw, ideal for narrow doors and small drawers. Choose from our knob handles.

Finish selection

Matte black, chrome, matte gold, and inox finishes are chosen according to the style of your furniture. Hole spacing and finish information are included in the technical specifications on the product pages.
