Westbourne Cabinet Pull
92–364 mm centresCabinet pull
Useful where existing two-hole pull centres match the Capramont standard handle ladder.
Custom Cabinet Handle Centres for Bespoke Joinery Guide | Capramont & Co
Capramont & Co reviews custom cabinet handle centres for bespoke joinery, replacement holes, appliance fronts and project hardware schedules. Send existing centre-to-centre measurements, drawings or product requirements and we will advise whether a standard size, custom-centre review or Hardware Schedule is the right route before made-to-order production.
Existing holes first
Do not choose by overall length first
The no-redrill route starts with the fixing holes already in the cabinet front. Overall length affects appearance and coverage, but centre-to-centre size determines whether the new handle can physically fit without drilling new holes.
Measure correctly
Measure centre-to-centre
Remove one existing handle and measure from the centre of one fixing hole to the centre of the other. Do not measure the visible length of the old handle and assume it will match.
Rule: if the new handle matches the existing centre-to-centre measurement, it can usually be fitted using the existing holes. If it does not match, use the custom-centre or project review route.
Replacement workflow
Six checks before choosing replacement hardware
1
Remove one handle
Use the exposed cabinet holes as the source of truth. Old handle length can be misleading.
2
Measure the centres
Measure in millimetres from the centre of one fixing hole to the centre of the other.
3
Check overall length
Overall length helps assess proportion and whether old marks or finish shadows may remain visible.
4
Match product data
Use PDP specification tables and A4 tear sheets to confirm centres, projection and finish route.
5
Review unusual holes
If the centres are non-standard, send photos and measurements before redrilling or ordering.
6
Sign off finish
Use a sample or finish sign-off route before made-to-order production, especially for project work.
Decision table
Which route should you use?
| Existing condition | Best route | Why it matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Existing holes match a Capramont centre size | Choose the matching PDP size | Preserves the cabinet front and avoids unnecessary redrilling. | View Hardware Finder |
| Existing centres are unusual or not exact | Review custom centres | Small centre errors can create visible misalignment or fixing problems. | Review Custom Centres |
| Old handle left marks or finish shadows | Check overall length and style coverage | The new handle may fit the holes but fail visually if old marks remain visible. | Send Project / Drawing Details |
| Replacing cup pulls | Match cup pull fixing centres | Cup width and fixing centres are different measurements. | See product proof |
| Whole kitchen or multi-room replacement | Start a Hardware Schedule | Keeps products, centres, finishes, quantities and approvals controlled. | Start a Hardware Schedule |
Product proof
Replacement-friendly product routes
These product routes use visible centre-to-centre data and A4 specification sheets. Check the live PDP before ordering and use project review where existing holes, marks or quantities are uncertain.
Beaufort Cabinet Handle
92–364 mm centresCabinet handle
A clean replacement route for projects that need visible centre data and a controlled specification sheet.
Burlington Cabinet Handle
92–604 mm centresLong pull route
Useful where replacement work includes larger drawers, tall units or longer handle proportions.
Farringdon Handle
92–604 mm centresCabinet handle
A flexible handle route where replacement work needs a broad centre-size range.
Brunswick Cabinet Handle
158–675 mm centresAlternative centre ladder
Useful when the existing holes are closer to the longer Brunswick centre ladder rather than the standard 92–604 mm ladder.
Maddox Cabinet Handle
84–562 mm centresAlternative centre ladder
Useful for projects where existing centres do not match the main 92 mm starting point.
C pulls and cup pulls
Check fixing centres by hardware type
Cup pull width, C pull length and cabinet handle length are not the same as fixing centres. Match the fixing centres first, then assess overall size, projection and visual coverage.
| Product route | Hardware type | Centres to check | Specification proof |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westbourne C Pull | C pull | 32, 46, 58 mm | A4 spec sheet |
| Beaufort C Pull | C pull | 32, 46, 58 mm | A4 spec sheet |
| Farringdon Cup | Cup pull | 50, 86, 138 mm | A4 spec sheet |
| Egerton Cup | Cup pull | 50, 86, 138 mm | A4 spec sheet |
| Eccleston Cup | Cup pull | 50, 86, 138 mm | A4 spec sheet |
When not to redrill
Use custom-centre review for awkward existing holes
Do not redrill immediately if the cabinet front is painted, veneered, installed, marked by previous hardware or part of a multi-room project. A custom-centre route may preserve the front and reduce fitting risk.
Send for review
What to send
For a single room: centre-to-centre measurement, old handle length, photos, quantity, finish preference and product interest.
For a project: room list, door/drawer counts, elevations, existing schedule, finish direction and approval contact.
Finish and project control
Check finish, scale and approval before production
Replacement hardware has to work with existing cabinetry, old fixing marks, paint colours, timber tones and the project approval route. Use samples or finish sign-off before made-to-order production.
Hardware Schedule
Use for whole-kitchen, whole-home or multi-room replacement projects.
Start a ScheduleTrade Access
Use after project or supplier fit is established. SparkLayer is for approved trade ordering.

Visible FAQs
Replacement hardware FAQs
Can I replace cabinet handles without drilling new holes?
Yes, if the new handle has the same centre-to-centre fixing measurement as the existing holes. Measure the cabinet holes first, then choose a product size with matching centres.
What does centre-to-centre mean?
Centre-to-centre means the distance from the centre of one fixing hole to the centre of the other. It is the key measurement for two-point replacement handles.
Should I measure the old handle or the cabinet holes?
Measure the cabinet holes where possible. The old handle can be misleading if it is bent, worn, loose or not accurately aligned.
What if my existing holes do not match a standard size?
Send the measurement, photos or drawings for review. A custom-centre route may be better than redrilling, especially on high-value cabinetry.
Can cup pulls be replaced using existing holes?
Yes, but cup pulls have their own fixing centres. Do not match by width alone. Check fixing centres and drawer rail clearance.
Should I order a sample first?
Yes. Samples and finish sign-off reduce finish and scale risk before made-to-order production, especially for project-led replacement work.
Final check
Need existing holes checked before ordering?
Send the centre measurement, photos, quantity and product interest. Capramont & Co can review whether the replacement route should use a standard PDP size, custom centres or a controlled Hardware Schedule.
