Standard knob sizes are 1 1/4″ or 1 3/8″. For small specialized cabinetry (narrow drawers or dimensions under 12″) like built-in spice racks, use smaller knobs under 1″ in diameter or T-pulls rather than bar pulls.
Furthermore, are drawer pulls a standard size?
It depends on the size of the drawer. Standard base and wall cabinets are usually between 12 and 36 inches. If this is the case, it’s typical to use 3- or 4-inch pull handles. If your cabinets are larger than standard, you’ll need larger pulls.
Consequently, can you mix knobs and pulls on kitchen cabinets?
Yes, you can mix knobs and pulls. It’s recommended to use pulls for cabinets that are higher up and knobs for lower style cabinets. Lower drawers that slide are typically fitted with a pull handle.
How do I know what size cabinet knobs to buy?
While there is no set rule, we generally recommend that the pull length is approximately 1/3 of the cabinet or drawer width. Small Drawers that are 12” or less typically work best with a pull that is 3” to 4” long or a knob that is 1” in diameter.
How do I know what size knob I need?
Overall Length: The distance from one end of the pull to the other end.

Should I use knobs or pulls on kitchen cabinets?
There are no strict rules to follow when choosing whether to select a knob or a pull or both. One preference is to use knobs for all doors and pulls for all drawers. For any large door such as a pantry and any pull-out door (including pull-out base pantries or trash pull-outs), use a pull.
What is the diameter of a cabinet knob screw?
What size drawer needs two pulls?
Drawers wider than 18″ need two knobs/pulls, whereas drawer narrower need only one. If a drawer is wide enough to need two knobs, they should be set about 1/6th of the drawer length from each end (roughly). Single pulls or knobs on drawers should be laterally centered and slightly higher than vertical center.
Where do pulls go on Shaker cabinets?
Center of the Stile: Knobs and pulls can be placed halfway up the stile of your Shaker door. Keep in mind you’ll want to be able to reach the handles, since they will be placed higher up along the stile. Just Above or Below the Corners: Place the knobs or pulls 2” to 3” from the lower or upper corner.
