Berenson Swagger cabinet hardware
Swagger is a Berenson line that pairs a matching knob with pulls in a full ladder of sizes, up to an 18-inch appliance pull. Because one shape covers small drawers through refrigerator panels, a whole kitchen can run on a single design.
Sizes and finishes
Pulls step through 96, 128, 160, 224, and 320 mm centers, which is about 3-3/4, 5, 6-5/16, 8-13/16, and 12-5/8 inches. The appliance pull measures 18 inches center to center. The finishes in the line include:
- Matte black
- Black nickel
- Modern brushed gold
- Brushed nickel
- Slate
Not every finish is made in every size, so check the size you need in the finish you want before you commit to a full set.
How to choose
Measure the center-to-center distance between the screw holes on your existing doors and drawers, then match it to the nearest size. On new cabinets, scale the pull to the drawer front. The shorter pulls suit narrow drawers, and the longer ones look better across wide drawers and pan drawers.
Finish sets the mood. Matte black and black nickel stand out against white, cream, and light wood. Matte black hides smudges better than polished metal but shows dust more visibly. Modern brushed gold adds warmth, and brushed nickel and slate sit quieter. Use the knob on doors and the pull on drawers, in the same finish, so the whole run reads as one set.
Berenson makes many other lines, so the Berenson brand page is the place to look for coordinating pieces.
Fit and placement
Each pull mounts with two screws and each knob with one, so check that the screws are long enough for the thickness of your door or drawer front. Thicker fronts may need longer screws. Center pulls on drawer fronts. On doors, place the hardware near the corner away from the hinge, low on upper cabinets and high on base cabinets. Set one position and repeat it down the whole run.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Berenson Swagger pull come in?
Swagger pulls are available in 96 mm, 128 mm, 160 mm, 224 mm, and 320 mm center-to-center lengths, plus an 18-inch appliance pull for refrigerator panels and large appliance doors. This range lets a single hardware shape cover small drawer fronts through full-height appliance panels without mixing styles.
What finishes are available in the Swagger Collection?
The Swagger Collection is offered in matte black, black nickel, modern brushed gold, brushed nickel, and slate. Matte black and black nickel deliver the strongest contrast, while slate and brushed nickel produce a softer effect on the same profile.
How does the Swagger Collection compare to Berenson's thinner transitional lines?
Swagger uses a substantial squared bar with broad standoffs and a heavier silhouette, making it visually bolder than Berenson's thinner transitional hardware families. Where transitional lines tend to recede on a door face, Swagger is designed to read as a deliberate design element — a meaningful distinction on flat-front or slab-door cabinetry where there is no raised panel to carry visual interest.
What cabinet styles and door types is the Swagger Collection best suited for?
Swagger is built for contemporary and modern kitchens with flat or slab doors, where hardware takes on a more prominent visual role. Because the bar carries noticeable weight, Berenson recommends pairing it with larger drawer fronts rather than narrow doors, where the proportions balance more naturally.
