Remove one existing handle
Expose both fixing holes and measure the drilled pattern directly. Do not infer the spacing from the visible handle length.
Common Cabinet Handle Centres & Replacement Matrix Guide | Capramont & Co
For replacement cabinet handles, measure the distance between the centre of one fixing hole and the centre of the other. That is the centre-to-centre size. Capramont & Co provides British-made cabinet handles, pulls, C-pulls and cup pulls with visible centre data, tear sheets and a custom-centre review route for non-standard holes.

Common Cabinet Handle Centres & Replacement Matrix
Measure the existing screw-hole spacing first. Centre-to-centre is the distance from the middle of one fixing hole to the middle of the second; overall handle length is a separate dimension.
Riyadh and Jeddah
For Riyadh and Jeddah residential, hospitality and phased joinery packages, confirm fixing centres before hardware is approved so standard and custom-centre routes can be controlled across repeated fronts.
Existing Centres First · Millimetres Retained · Custom Centres Reviewed · No Minimum Order
01 · Measurement First
Measure the screw holes, not the handle length.
The existing drilling pattern is the controlling replacement measurement. Keep the exact millimetre value in the project record even where US teams also work in inches.
Measure exact centre-to-centre
Measure from the middle of one screw hole to the middle of the second. Record the exact value before rounding or matching to a product.
Check the cabinet condition
Confirm front thickness, rails, stiles, inset frames, edge details, appliance panels and any marks that the replacement must cover.
Match exactly or request review
Use a published route where the spacing matches. Where it does not, send the measured holes, photos or drawings before redrilling finished fronts.
02 · Replacement Decision
Exact match, near match or custom centre?
A near match is not an exact match. Where the drilled spacing differs from the published size, treat it as a review condition rather than forcing the cabinetry to the hardware.
Exact match
Use the published size if the drilled spacing matches the selected product exactly and the projection/fixing condition is suitable.
Near match
Do not enlarge or move holes merely because a published size is close. Review marks, fixing position and front condition first.
Custom centre
Send the exact spacing, quantity, product family, photos or drawings for feasibility review before drilling or ordering.
03 · Common Size Routes
Common cabinet handle centre routes.
These are planning routes from the current Capramont product data. Product type, projection, fixing position and cabinetry still need to be checked before replacement or drill release.
| Existing spacing | Likely route | Typical use | Specification note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32 / 46 / 58 mm | C pulls / edge pulls | Compact fronts and discreet edge-led hardware. | Check edge detail, front thickness, grip path and fixing position. |
| 50 / 86 / 138 mm | Cup pulls | Drawer-led kitchens, pantries, vanities. | Cup-pull centres are not normally interchangeable with standard bar-pull centres. |
| 92 / 124 / 156 / 220 / 284 / 364 mm | Standard cabinet pulls | Doors, drawers, pantries, wardrobes and general cabinetry. | Confirm rail/stile proportions and alignment before drilling finished fronts. |
| 604 / 675 mm | Long pulls / appliance fronts | Tall units, wardrobes, refrigerator/freezer panels and large doors. | Check panel weight, grip clearance, fixing depth and project conditions. |
| Unusual / unknown / non-standard | Custom centre review | Existing cabinetry, remodels, bespoke joinery and fixed drilling patterns. | Send the hole spacing for review. |
04 · Product Proof

05 · Custom Review
Use custom centres when old holes or project drawings do not match a standard route.
Send the exact hole spacing, photographs or drawings, quantity and selected product family. A custom dimension is reviewed against product geometry and manufacturing feasibility before drilling or made-to-order production.
Existing holes
Measure first, retain the exact dimension and include photographs showing marks or constraints that the replacement hardware must cover.
Bespoke joinery
Use drawings or elevations where drawer widths, rails, appliance panels or repeated fronts require a project-specific dimension.
Controlled submittal
Keep the approved size connected to product, room, finish, quantity and project record before manufacture.
06 · Specification Proof
Proof to collect before ordering or drilling.
Use one controlled route from product selection through dimensional confirmation, finish approval and multi-room scheduling.
PDP specification
Product family, centres, overall lengths, available sizes and finish direction.
A4 spec sheet
Dimensional product proof for client, cabinet shop, joiner or project review.
Finish sign-off
Physical approval before made-to-order production where finish consistency matters.
Project review
Existing holes, photographs, elevations, drawings and replacement constraints.
Hardware Schedule
Products, rooms, centres, finishes, quantities and approvals in one controlled record.

08 · FAQs
Cabinet handle centre questions.
Use these answers as planning guidance; the selected product data and approved project condition remain the final drilling reference.
What does centre-to-centre mean?
It is the distance from the middle of one fixing hole to the middle of the second fixing hole. It is not the overall length of the handle.
Can I replace a handle if the new spacing is only slightly different?
Do not assume a near match is suitable. Review the exact drilled spacing, marks, fixing position and cabinetry before moving or enlarging holes.
What if my existing spacing is not listed?
Send the exact measurement, photographs or drawings for custom-centre review. Feasibility depends on the selected product geometry.
Should overall length be used to match replacement pulls?
No. Overall length helps with scale and coverage, but the drilled fixing spacing is the controlling replacement measurement.
When should I use a Hardware Schedule?
Use one when multiple rooms, fronts or stakeholders need a controlled record of products, centre sizes, finishes, quantities and approvals.
Dimensional & Fit Engineering
Measure the holes. Match the centres. Review the exception before drilling.
Use the published centre routes and product proof first. Where existing holes, appliance panels or project drawings do not align, use custom-centre or project review before finished fronts are altered.
