Kitchen Pull Handles
Kitchen pull handles are an easy way to refresh cabinetry, complete a new kitchen or bring practical grip to drawers and cupboards. This collection includes classic, heritage and modern shapes in a wide range of finishes, sizes and fixing centres.
Measure before choosing replacement handles
If you are replacing existing handles, measure the distance from the centre of one screw hole to the centre of the other. This is the fixing centre or hole centre; it is different from the handle's overall length.
Before ordering, check:
- Fixing centres: match the existing holes if you want to avoid drilling new ones.
- Overall length and width: make sure the handle sits comfortably on the door or drawer and can cover old marks where needed.
- Projection and grip: allow comfortable finger clearance without making the handle feel oversized.
- Cabinet proportions: compare the handle with the width of drawers, doors and surrounding rails rather than choosing from measurements alone.
- Fixings: confirm the supplied screw length suits the thickness of your cabinet front.
Plan a coordinated kitchen hardware scheme
You can use pull handles throughout the room or mix them with kitchen knobs and drawer pulls. One common approach is to use knobs on smaller cupboard doors and pulls on drawers or frequently used cabinets, but there is no single required combination.
Choose a consistent finish, shape or brand family to help the scheme feel deliberate. Finish names and colours can vary between brands and may look different on screen, so compare the stated finish and product details rather than relying on photographs alone. When practical, order all handles for one room together and include a spare for future replacement.
Choose the style that suits your cabinetry
Straight bar and slimline pulls suit simple contemporary cabinetry, while curved, fluted and decorative profiles can complement traditional, Federation, Victorian, Art Deco or Hamptons-inspired interiors. Browse the broader kitchen handle range if you want to compare other handle types, including cabinet flush pulls for a more recessed look.

Kitchen pull handle FAQs
Measure from the centre of one existing screw hole to the centre of the other. Compare that fixing-centre measurement with the product specification. Also check the handle's overall length, width and projection because those dimensions affect coverage, grip and proportion.
Yes, but new holes may need to be drilled and the old holes or marks may remain visible. A longer handle or backplate may cover them, but check the exact dimensions before ordering. If you are unsure, ask your cabinetmaker or installer to confirm the drilling and repair work required.
There is no universal size rule. Choose a handle that looks balanced on the drawer and provides comfortable grip. Very wide or heavy drawers may suit a longer pull or two handles, but confirm the placement and fixing requirements with your cabinetmaker before drilling.
Yes. Knobs can work well on smaller doors, while pulls provide more grip on drawers and frequently used cabinets. Keeping the finish, shape or decorative details related helps the combination feel coordinated.
Check the individual product details and compare the screw length with the thickness of your cabinet front. Different doors and drawer fronts can require different screw lengths, so confirm the fixing requirements before installation.
Follow the care instructions supplied for the specific finish. As a general precaution, use a soft cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals unless the manufacturer states they are suitable.
