Cup Pulls

Choosing Cup Pulls for Cabinets and Drawers

Cup pulls are cabinet handles shaped to create a finger grip underneath or behind the face of the pull. They are commonly used on drawer fronts, cabinet doors, vanities, built-ins, pantry storage, and furniture. The category includes classic half-moon and shell-inspired forms as well as cleaner transitional and contemporary interpretations from multiple cabinet-hardware brands.

Center-to-center measurement is one of the most important specifications when replacing existing cabinet hardware. It is the distance between the centers of the mounting holes. Common inch and metric sizes are represented in the assortment, but the exact spacing should be verified for each product. Overall width and projection also matter because a cup pull needs enough room for a comfortable grip and should fit the scale of the drawer or door.

For new cabinetry, pull size can be selected in proportion to the drawer front and the desired visual style. Wider drawers may use longer cup pulls or multiple pulls depending on the design. On replacement projects, matching the existing hole spacing is usually the simplest approach because changing center-to-center dimensions may require filling and redrilling mounting holes.

Materials and construction vary across the collection, including zinc, brass, bronze, and other cabinet-hardware materials depending on the model. Finishes range from black and bronze tones to brass, nickel, chrome, and other decorative options. Compare finish names within the same manufacturer when exact coordination with matching knobs, pulls, or appliance hardware is important.

Before ordering, confirm center-to-center spacing, overall dimensions, projection, mounting screw requirements, material, finish, and package quantity on the individual product page. Measuring an existing pull from hole center to hole center is more reliable than measuring the overall length when selecting replacement cup pulls.
