1 1/8 inch (28.6 mm) drill-center pulls for small drawer fronts and specialty hardware
1 1/8 inch (28.6 mm) drill-center pulls cover a small spacing used on narrow drawer fronts, small bin pulls, and finger-pull hardware. The 28.6 mm spec sits at the lower end of the standard pull range, where the catalog starts to include small cup pulls and bin pulls intended for narrow inset drawers. The size is one of the smaller dimensions where the conventional drawer pull catalog begins to appear in numbers.
Where this size fits
Inset cabinetry with narrow drawer fronts, particularly traditional kitchen designs that use single-row pull-out drawers under upper cabinets. Built-in furniture pieces with small file drawers or jewelry compartments. Some sewing-cabinet hardware and craft-room storage. Bath vanity drawers in compact bathrooms also use this size when the drawer face is too narrow for a standard 2 inch or 2 1/2 inch pull.
What hardware looks like here
Small bin pulls and cup pulls. Finger pulls. A small range of decorative pulls with narrow backplates. Bar pulls thin out at this size because the proportion gets awkward, but a few minimalist designs do produce a 1 1/8 inch option for very narrow doors. Finishes lean toward traditional ranges, with antique brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and polished nickel carrying most of the catalog at this dimension.
Adjacent sizes worth comparing
For the closest smaller neighbor, see 1 inch (25.4 mm). Above is 1 1/4 inch (31.8 mm). For standard drawer pull sizing, see 3 inch (76.2 mm). On apothecary-style cabinets with twelve or more small drawers, holding one pull at 1 1/8 inch across the full grid keeps the visual rhythm clean. Different sizes within the same grid tend to read as inconsistent.
