Finding Cabinet Pulls in 3" and 3-1/2" Hole Spacing

Complete sets—same design & finish—available in both 3" (76mm) and the less common 3-1/2" (89mm).

Replacing your cabinet hardware is an easy, high-impact upgrade. The challenge? Finding matching pulls in the exact hole spacing you need—especially when drawers vary in width or you’re reusing existing holes.

This guide curates Cosmas pulls by finish, pairing a 3" option with its matching 3-1/2" counterpart so your project stays consistent without re-drilling.

What Is Cabinet Pull Hole Spacing?

Hole spacing (center-to-center) is the distance between the screw holes on a pull.

  • Common: 3" (76mm)
  • Less common: 3-1/2" (89mm), among others

Pro tip: Match existing spacing to avoid patching or drilling new holes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between 3" and 3-1/2" cabinet pulls?
Only the spacing between screw holes. Externally they can look identical, but they mount to different hole centers.
Can I put a 3" pull on a door that previously had 3-1/2" spacing?
Not without re-drilling. For a quick swap, match the existing spacing.
Do Cosmas cabinet pulls include screws?
Yes. Cosmas pulls include matching 8/32" thread screws for standard cabinet thicknesses.
How do I measure existing hole spacing?
Measure from the center of one screw hole to the center of the other. Common is 3" (76mm); 3-1/2" (89mm) is less common but available above.
Which finishes are trending?
Brushed brass and satin nickel remain highly popular; oil rubbed bronze and flat black are timeless and versatile.
