Features of Cabinet Pull Bars

1. Size

Cabinet handles and pulls are available in multiple sizes. However, choosing a pull with at least a 3-3/4" center to center is wise. That is the distance between the screw holes. This size looks good on most of the cabinets. Besides, you can grip the cabinet handles comfortably. Even 5" - 6.5" pulls are also popular for being longer. 

When choosing pull bars for wide drawers, use a long single pull rather than two small ones. It gives a clean look and makes it easy for you to operate it. Use a pull that is 1/3 the length of the drawer. However, don’t apply this rule to cabinet doors. Instead, use pulls between 5 - 7" for uppers.
