2 1/2'' (64 mm)

2 1/2'' (64mm) cabinet hardware, mostly cup pulls

This corner of the catalog covers cabinet hardware built to a 2 1/2'' (64mm) spacing, short enough that the majority of pulls sized to it are cup pulls, the rounded scoop shape that's stayed common on silverware drawers, bath vanities, and cabinetry built before wider spacings became the norm. Amerock, Century Hardware, and Berenson all cast cup pulls at exactly this measurement, and a Richelieu bar-style pull uses the same spacing for buyers who'd rather skip the scoop shape.

Small drawers this size actually fits

A cup pull at this size suits drawers too narrow for a full bar pull: a silverware drawer, a spice drawer, a bathroom vanity drawer barely wide enough for two hands working side by side. The scoop shape also gives a shallow drawer front more to hold onto than a small knob alone would offer, without the extra length a longer pull would need on the same narrow panel. Older cabinetry frequently already carries this exact hole pattern, which turns a cup pull swap into a straightforward one-to-one replacement in most cases.

A straight bar option at the same spacing

Not everyone wants the scoop. Richelieu's Windsor pull keeps a flat contemporary bar at this same measurement instead, useful when a kitchen already runs bar pulls elsewhere and one narrow drawer needs to fall in line rather than switch shapes entirely. Whichever profile gets chosen, measure the existing holes screw to screw instead of trusting the old pull's visible length, since decorative cup ends commonly reach past where the actual mounting screws sit.

One size up or down from here

For a slightly wider bar option, 3 3/4'' (96mm) comes next in this range. A drawer that needs more support than a compact cup pull provides can move up to 5 1/16'' (128.6mm).
