Frequently Asked Questions

If you are replacing existing cabinet pulls or drawer handles, measure from the center of one mounting hole to the center of the other. This is called the center-to-center (C/C) spacing, and it determines which size pull you need.

For example:

• 3" center-to-center → Choose our Size 3" pull
• 4" center-to-center → Choose our Size 4" pull
• 5" center-to-center → Choose our Size 5" pull
• 6" center-to-center → Choose our Size 6" pull

If you are installing hardware on new cabinetry without existing holes, choose the size that best fits the proportions and style of your project.

Yes. Many of our cabinet pulls, leather handles, and curtain rod holders are available in custom sizes. If you do not see the size you need, contact us before ordering and we will be happy to discuss your project.

Each product includes the mounting hardware required for installation. Cabinet pulls include machine screws, while curtain rod holders include mounting screws and drywall anchors.

If your project requires a different screw length, leave a note with your order or contact us before purchasing.

Installation is straightforward and typically takes only a few minutes using a screwdriver.
