Berenson Tempo Collection cabinet hardware
The Tempo Collection is a Berenson knob and bar-pull line built on a clean straight profile carried across an unusually long size ladder. Sample pulls run from 3-inch and 96mm centers up to 320mm and even a 768mm appliance length, so one design covers small drawers through full appliance fronts.
What identifies the Tempo look
Tempo is a slim, unornamented bar with squared ends and a matching simple knob, transitional in feel and built to recede rather than decorate. The defining trait is range: the same profile holds from a 3-inch drawer pull to a 768mm appliance bar, letting an entire kitchen run one continuous look. Finishes include Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel, and Verona Bronze, covering bright, satin, and warm-dark tones.
Buying considerations
Tempo suits transitional and contemporary kitchens where the cabinetry does the styling and the hardware should stay quiet and consistent. The wide size ladder is the reason to choose it: you can scale the same bar from small uppers to a long refrigerator panel without switching designs. Polished Chrome reads brightest and most modern; Verona Bronze warms the look for traditional-leaning rooms; Brushed Nickel sits in between. Use the knob on doors and the bar pulls on drawers, keeping one finish throughout so the long size ladder reads as one design. Because the same slim profile carries from a 3-inch pull to a 768mm appliance bar, a kitchen can stay fully consistent even with very mixed cabinet sizes. The thin section keeps the look light, a tradeoff against the heavier grip of a thick bar on a big appliance door. Confirm each drawer's drilled centers against the available metric and inch sizes before ordering, since spacing varies widely across this range and a near-miss will not mount level.

Frequently Asked Questions
What center-to-center sizes does the Berenson Tempo Collection come in?
Tempo pulls are available from 3-inch and 96mm centers up to 320mm and a 768mm appliance length, making it one of the broader size ladders in a single cabinet hardware design. This range lets a kitchen use one continuous profile from small drawers through full-height appliance panels without switching collections.
What finishes are available in the Berenson Tempo Collection, and how do they differ in tone?
The Tempo Collection is offered in Polished Chrome, Brushed Nickel, and Verona Bronze. Polished Chrome is the brightest and most modern-reading of the three; Verona Bronze provides a warm, dark tone suited to traditional-leaning rooms; Brushed Nickel falls between the two in both brightness and warmth.
How does the Tempo bar profile compare to a thick-bar pull for large appliance doors?
Tempo uses a slim, unornamented bar with squared ends, which keeps the visual weight light across all sizes. The tradeoff is grip: a thick-profile bar offers a heavier, more substantial feel on a large appliance door, while the Tempo's thin section prioritizes a consistent, receding look over tactile heft.
What cabinet styles is the Tempo Collection best suited for?
Tempo is designed for transitional and contemporary kitchens where the cabinetry itself carries the styling and the hardware is expected to stay quiet and consistent rather than be a visual feature. Its unornamented, squared-end profile is intentionally neutral so it does not compete with the cabinet doors or drawer fronts.
