Custom sizing for bespoke joinery
Where standard fixing centres or overall lengths do not suit a kitchen, dressing room or fitted furniture design, we can review dimensions against the project drawings before manufacture.
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.

Custom Cabinet Handle Centres & Sizes
The freedom to be exact.
Custom centres. No minimum order.
Custom fixing centres can be specified without a minimum order quantity. Every request is considered against the chosen design, required dimensions and manufacturing feasibility.
Subject to feasibility, individual quotation and agreed lead time.A handle should suit the cabinetry. The cabinetry should never have to suit the handle.
Capramont & Co makes luxury cabinet hardware to order in England. A standard dimension is useful; it is not a design instruction. Where the published size is not quite right, we can review custom fixing centres, overall length, projection and selected design details against the actual joinery drawings before manufacture.
What makes this different
Not merely selected. Made. Our own English machining, finishing and inspection operation allows a proposed change to be reviewed against the hardware's actual geometry.
Not defined by quantity. Custom fixing centres are assessed on their design and engineering merits, without a minimum order threshold.

Heritage & Performance Metals
01 / The design problem
The smallest compromise is seldom the least noticeable.
A few millimetres can alter the balance of a drawer, reveal an old fixing hole or interrupt the clearance of a neighbouring front. The difference may be small. To the finished interior, it may matter enormously.
New hardware. Existing holes.
A change of hardware need not always mean filling and redrilling a finished door. Send accurate measurements and photographs; we can assess an eligible design against the existing hole spacing.
A larger handle deserves more thought
Pantry doors, wardrobes and integrated appliance panels are not simply oversized drawers. Overall length, projection, panel thickness, clearances and the installation method must be considered together.
Designed for the person, too
A beautiful detail should not ignore the person using it. Where a brief calls for particular grip space, reach or positioning, selected designs can be reviewed; the project team and intended user must confirm suitability in the installed setting.
02 / What can be reviewed
There is more to a handle than the distance between its screws.
The most convincing alterations look as though they were always intended. We can assess changes to an eligible design while respecting its character, geometry and structural requirements. Not every profile is possible in every dimension.
A / Fixing positions
Custom Centre-to-centre dimensions
Review a non-standard screw-hole spacing for replacement fronts or bespoke joinery. Existing-hole measurements must be accurate before a proposed match is approved.
B / Handle length
Proportion beyond the fixings
Assess a longer or shorter handle against its design, end conditions and fixing positions, rather than assuming the centres alone determine the overall appearance.
C / Grip & projection
A little space makes a difference
Where feasible, review projection and usable hand clearance alongside cabinet-front thickness, fixing access, neighbouring fronts and the intended use.
Product family, material, machining constraints and installation conditions determine what can be offered. Every exception requires review and written confirmation before production.
03 / Why we can offer it
The freedom to specify begins with the ability to make.
Since 1982, our family's precision-engineering experience has spanned elite motorsport, aerospace and marine applications. Today we bring that same drawing-led discipline to cabinet hardware, precision-machined, finished and inspected in England. The detail is decorative. The thinking behind it is decidedly technical.
Discussing dimensions directly with the manufacturer allows us to consider geometry, machining, fixings, material and finish together. A catalogue can show what is standard. It need not dictate what is possible.
Precision is not the opposite of beauty. It is one of its conditions.
04 / Dimensions explained
Three measurements. No room for guesswork.
This distinction is particularly important when replacing a handle or finalising drilling on made-to-measure joinery.
We do not treat a required centre-to-centre measurement as automatically determining the finished size of the pull. The proposed fixing positions must work with the selected design and its overall form.
Centre-to-centreThe distance from the centre of one fixing hole to the centre of the next, measured along the handle.
Overall lengthThe full external length of the handle, including any material extending beyond the fixing points.
ProjectionHow far the handle extends from the front face of the cabinet; grip space and mounting details require separate consideration.
For a replacement, measure the existing holes directly in millimetres wherever possible. If supplying inches, state that clearly. Do not estimate the hole spacing from the old handle's overall length.

Fixing centres
Overall length
Fixing spacing and overall length are shown in front view. Projection is a separate side-view measurement. Final approved product drawings take precedence over this illustration.
05 / One design language, two material routes
Character should remain. Dimensions may change.
A custom dimension should not make a beautiful handle look unfamiliar. We begin with an existing Capramont design and assess which changes can preserve its proportions, material character and intended appearance.
Patina with purpose
Brass patinas and considered traditional or contemporary profiles for kitchens, wardrobes and interiors where proportion and surface character matter. Selected designs can be assessed for a non-standard dimension while retaining their intended appearance.
Performance with a reason
Project-led options include 316L stainless steel, naval brass, Grade 5 titanium and selected coated metals. Material suitability, finish, environment, design geometry and machining feasibility must all be reviewed for a custom application.
No minimum. No unnecessary compromise.
There is no minimum order quantity for custom fixing centres. Design feasibility, pricing and lead time are confirmed before manufacture.
Consistency across the project.
A drawing-led schedule can bring standard and custom dimensions, materials and finishes together across rooms, repeated fronts and future phases.
06 / The practical route
An elegant result is usually a very exact process.
Begin with what you know. An accurate measurement, an early elevation or a simple description can start the conversation. The details can then be considered in the right order—before anything is drilled or made.
01 / Share the brief
Tell us what needs to fit
Describe the joinery, existing holes, approximate quantity and intended hardware. Drawings and photographs are useful where available.
02 / Review feasibility
We assess the alteration
We consider suitable existing designs, fixing centres, overall size, projection, materials and installation constraints.
03 / Confirm specification
Agree the dimensions
Price, lead time, drawing details and any finish approval requirements are confirmed before the made-to-order release.
04 / Manufacture in England
Make to the agreed brief
Approved hardware is machined, finished and inspected against the agreed manufacturing specification.
07 / Preparing your enquiry
The better the brief, the more precise the answer.
A well-drawn detail is helpful. A clear question is a perfectly good beginning. The Project Enquiry welcomes future and live projects, with space for drawings and hardware schedules where available.
For replacement work
Existing fixing holes
Exact centre-to-centre spacing, photographs, front material and thickness where known, previous handle size and required quantity.
For new joinery
Design drawings
Elevations or sketches, intended handle family, preferred position, overall size or centre target, cabinet type and quantities.
For specialist requirements
Use & setting
Projection, clearance, fitting access, environment, finish preference and any practical grip or positioning requirement identified by the project team.
08 / Common questions
The particulars, plainly put.
Can Capramont make a handle to fit existing fixing holes?
We can review a measured non-standard fixing distance against eligible handle designs. Send the exact hole spacing and clear photographs. A match is subject to product geometry, manufacturing feasibility and written confirmation before production; avoid drilling finished fronts to an unapproved dimension.
Is there a minimum order for custom fixing centres?
No. Custom fixing centres are available without a minimum order quantity. Each request is assessed for manufacturing feasibility, with dimensions, pricing and lead time confirmed before production.
Can overall length or projection change as well as the fixing centres?
Potentially, yes. Fixing centres, overall length, projection and usable grip clearance are distinct dimensions. The possibility of adjusting each depends on the selected design, material and installation conditions.
Do I need finished drawings before making an enquiry?
No. We can begin with measurements, sketches, photographs or early joinery elevations. Drawings and confirmed installation details will be needed where the proposed change requires them before final approval.
Can custom hardware be considered for appliance panels?
Yes, where a suitable design and fixing arrangement can be established. Appliance-front thickness, weight, fixing method, clearances and appliance-manufacturer requirements must be checked by the specifying and installation team. Capramont reviews its hardware component, not the compliance of the entire appliance assembly.
Can dimensions be adapted for accessibility or individual grip requirements?
Selected designs can be reviewed against a practical brief involving grip space, reach, projection or handle position. Capramont does not provide a clinical assessment or guarantee usability for a particular person. Final functional suitability must be confirmed by the responsible project professionals and intended user in the installed setting.
Is custom hardware made and finished in England?
Capramont hardware is precision-machined, finished and inspected within its English manufacturing operation. A custom proposal is only released to manufacture once the agreed specification, price, lead time and any relevant finish approvals are confirmed.
Custom hardware · Direct from the manufacturer
The right detail should never be an afterthought.
A non-standard fixing distance, an unusual proportion or a new piece of joinery deserves a considered answer. Share the requirement and we will review what is possible before manufacture in England.
Enquiries welcome in Hong Kong and internationally. Custom work is subject to feasibility, quotation and agreed specifications.
