How to Measure Cabinet Hardware Correctly
Learn how to measure cabinet hardware, understand cabinet pull hole spacing, and choose the perfect drawer pull size before ordering.
Understanding Cabinet Hardware Measurements
Before purchasing new cabinet hardware, it's important to understand the different measurements manufacturers use. Knowing the difference between overall length, center-to-center hole spacing, projection, and diameter can help you avoid ordering hardware that doesn't fit your existing cabinets.
Center-to-Center Hole Spacing
The most important measurement when replacing existing cabinet pulls. Measure from the center of one mounting hole to the center of the other.
Overall Pull Length
The total length of the pull from one end to the other. This dimension is primarily for appearance rather than installation.
Projection
Projection measures how far the hardware extends away from the cabinet surface and affects both comfort and functionality.
Knob Diameter
Cabinet knobs are measured by diameter rather than hole spacing, making them easier to replace or install.
