1 3/8 inch (34.9 mm) drill-center pulls cover a small, traditional-leaning spacing used by certain manufacturers for narrow cup pulls, bin pulls, and reproduction hardware. The 34.9 mm spec falls between the more common 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch sizes. It's less standardized but appears regularly in catalogs that draw on Victorian and Eastlake-era hardware patterns. Specifiers working on period restoration projects pull from this size more often than mainstream consumers.
Where this size fits
Narrow inset drawer fronts on Victorian and Eastlake reproduction cabinetry. Small bin pulls on built-in furniture pieces with period detail. Some traditional vanity drawer pulls. Drawer fronts roughly 5 to 9 inches wide where a small cup pull would feel right against an ornamented door. Apothecary-cabinet drawer banks in custom kitchens and herbalist-style pantry storage also use this size for the compact period read.
What hardware looks like here
Small cup pulls, bin pulls, and decorative pulls with detailed backplates. The catalog leans heavily toward traditional and period-reproduction styles, with finishes in antique brass, oil-rubbed bronze, antique copper, and other aged-metal tones. Modern bar pulls are essentially absent at this size. Many pulls in this catalog are produced in limited runs by specialty manufacturers focused on the restoration market.
Adjacent sizes worth comparing
Below is 1 1/4 inch (31.8 mm). Above is 1 1/2 inch (38.1 mm). For conventional drawer pull sizing, see 3 inch (76.2 mm). Confirming the exact spacing before ordering matters more at this size than at standard centers, since the catalog is small enough that a one-fraction error means searching a different page entirely. A steel rule reading center-to-center on the existing holes settles it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm whether my existing pulls are 1 3/8 inch (34.9 mm) drill center?
Measure center-to-center between the two screw holes using a steel rule — the distance should read 1 3/8 inches or 34.9 mm. Because this size sits between the more common 1 1/4 inch (31.8 mm) and 1 1/2 inch (38.1 mm) spacings, even a small misread can place you on the wrong catalog page. Confirming the exact figure before ordering is especially important here, where the available selection is narrower than at standard centers.
What drawer widths are a practical match for a 1 3/8 inch drill-center pull?
Drawer fronts roughly 5 to 9 inches wide are the typical fit for this drill-center size, where a small cup pull proportions correctly against an ornamented face. The size is most common on narrow inset drawer fronts found in Victorian and Eastlake reproduction cabinetry, as well as apothecary-cabinet drawer banks and built-in furniture pieces with period detail.
How does 1 3/8 inch (34.9 mm) drill center compare to the adjacent 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch sizes?
The 1 3/8 inch (34.9 mm) spacing falls between 1 1/4 inch (31.8 mm) and 1 1/2 inch (38.1 mm), differing from each by roughly 3 mm. All three sizes serve small, traditional-leaning hardware, but 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch are more broadly standardized across mainstream catalogs. The 34.9 mm spec appears primarily in specialty restoration and period-reproduction lines, so a one-fraction error in measurement means searching an entirely different, and potentially sparse, selection.
What finish and style options are typical for pulls made to a 1 3/8 inch drill center?
Hardware at this size skews heavily toward traditional and period-reproduction styles — small cup pulls, bin pulls, and decorative pulls with detailed backplates. Common finishes are antique brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and antique copper, reflecting the Victorian and Eastlake-era patterns that drive demand for this spacing. Modern bar pulls are essentially absent at this size, and many pieces are produced in limited runs by specialty manufacturers focused on the restoration market.
