Drawers ask more of a handle than doors do — you pull heavier loads, more often, at more angles. This drawer handles collection covers 128 designs from £2.49, from compact 64mm pulls for bedside drawers up to 320mm bars for wide kitchen pan drawers, all supplied with fixings.
Getting Drawer Handle Size Right
Hole centres — the distance between the two screw holes — is the measurement to work from. Standard kitchen drawers usually take 128mm or 160mm. Wide drawers change the rules: a 900mm pan drawer with a tiny 128mm handle in the middle looks lost and pulls awkwardly. Step up to 224mm, 256mm or 320mm hole centres, or fit a matching pair of smaller handles spaced symmetrically. Our dual-fit designs (96-128mm, 128-160mm and up) also cover replacements where existing holes don't match today's standard sizes.
The Shapes That Work on Drawers
Horizontal T-bars like the knurled Aurelia and Amelia give a clean line across the drawer front and a positive grip. D-shaped pulls such as the Dimora take a full hand comfortably, which matters on loaded pan drawers. Traditional bar handles like the Ippudo suit shaker fronts, and cup pulls bring the classic scullery look to period kitchens — grip from underneath, fit to drawers only. For cup styles and deeper pulls, see the dedicated cup handles range and the wider cabinet drawer pulls collection.
Finishes to Match Your Scheme
Matt black for contrast, antique brass and matt gold for warmth, satin nickel and chrome for a neutral metallic — each in consistent tones across the style families so drawers, doors and knobs can match exactly. Gold-toned drawer hardware including knobs lives in gold drawer knobs, and the full finish-by-finish kitchen range starts at kitchen handles.
Drawers Beyond the Kitchen
The same handles work on chests of drawers, desks, media units and bathroom vanities. For furniture with existing holes, measure centre-to-centre and match the size; for new furniture builds, 96mm-128mm suits most domestic drawer fronts. Single-hole alternatives are covered in our knobs collection if you prefer a knob-per-drawer look on bedroom furniture.
Delivery
Free UK delivery and fast dispatch on every order. Mixing sizes across a kitchen — say 160mm on doors and 320mm on pan drawers — keeps the same finish and profile throughout, so don't be afraid to order across sizes within one range.
