Cabinet handle hole spacing: measure before you choose.

What does hole spacing mean?

Hole spacing, also called fixing centres or centre-to-centre distance, is measured from the centre of one mounting hole to the centre of the other. Overall length is the handle's full end-to-end length. These are different measurements.

A handle listed with 128 mm fixing centres needs holes 128 mm apart. Its overall length depends on the design, so check the dimension drawing for the selected model.

How to measure an existing cabinet

1. Remove the existing handle if it hides the fixing holes.
2. Measure between the centres of the two holes in millimetres. Keep the ruler straight and check the measurement again.
3. Record the cabinet door or drawer-front thickness. Check the space available for the grip and the handle's overall length.
4. Compare the measurement with the selected handle's drawing. Confirm screw length and the sample before fitting.

If the result falls between listed sizes, send a clear photograph with a ruler or a dimension drawing. Do not round the measurement to the nearest catalogue size.

Confirm the selected size, material and finish before ordering. Listed fixing centres do not establish overall length, projection, screw length or stock availability.

Choose sizes for your range

Start with the drilling requirements of your cabinets or your customers' replacement needs. For example, models 2002 and 2006 both include 96 and 128 mm fixing centres; 2006 also lists 160 mm. Model 2119 includes options up to 320 mm.

Matching hole spacing alone does not make two handles interchangeable. Compare overall dimensions, base coverage, grip clearance and finish samples as well. For a mixed-size order, list the quantity for each model, size and finish separately.
