Cabinet Pulls / Cabinet Handles

Nothing! The terms "cabinet pull" and "cabinet handle" can be used interchangeably to describe the same item of hardware. Our cabinet door handles are used across many projects in various parts of the home by architects and designers alike.

For Smaller Cabinet Doors (less than 24 inches): For doors or drawers under 24 inches in height or width, opt for cabinet pulls ranging from 3 to 7 inches long (center to center size or overall length) for the most comfortable fit.

For Medium Cabinet Doors (between 24-36 inches): If your cabinet doors or drawers measure between 24 and 36 inches, consider pulls between 7 and 12 inches (center to center size or overall length) for optimal aesthetic appeal.

For Larger Cabinet Doors (exceeding 36 inches): For pantries, built-in appliances, or oversized doors and drawers, select pulls longer than 12 inches (center to center size or overall length) to complement their larger scale.

While there is no right answer, they are typically placed horizontally on drawers and vertically on cabinet doors. It also can depend on the hardware design and if there’s a preferred orientation. Feel free to break from this design principle and get creative if it better suits your aesthetic.

We use solid brass to make all our products at Hapny. This ensures all of our products are of the highest quality. Some companies produce their hardware with Steel or Zinc for cost reasons, which leads to a less durable, cheaper product. This is why our products are frequently used as a luxury option for clients in baths, kitchens, and more.
