128mm (5 1/16'') Drill Center Cabinet Hardware

128mm, listed as 5 1/16 inches in imperial measurements, ranks among the handful of center-to-center spacings that show up most often in cabinet hardware, which is why it's stocked across so many pull collections rather than treated as a specialty size. Berenson alone carries it through more than a dozen lines here, including Aspire, Metro, Encore, Tailored Traditional, Right, Epoch Edge, Swagger, and Oasis, in finishes spanning matte black, brushed nickel, polished chrome, vintage nickel, and soft gold. If your existing holes already match this spacing, replacement becomes mostly a style and finish decision rather than a sizing one.

Why drill center spacing matters

Cabinet doors and drawers are pre-drilled for a specific pull length, and the gap separating those two holes is what the drill center measurement actually describes, not the pull's total length end to end. Buying a pull at the wrong center-to-center spacing means new holes, filled and re-drilled, which shows on painted or stained wood even after careful touch-up work. Measuring your existing holes first avoids that entirely, and 128mm is common enough that most kitchens built in the last few decades will already have some hardware sized to it.

Style range at 128mm

Because so many collections share this spacing, no single design direction gets forced on a kitchen by the hole spacing alone. Zinc-bodied pulls in this size range span transitional shapes in Aspire and Oasis, fully contemporary lines like Metro, Swagger, and Epoch Edge, and traditional styling in Tailored Traditional, so the spacing itself never narrows style options in any meaningful way. What changes from line to line is bar profile and finish, not fit, which makes 128mm a practical starting point for browsing rather than a constraint.

Nearby sizes worth checking

If 128mm doesn't match your existing holes, check 96mm for a shorter pull or 160mm for a longer one, both common next-step sizes just above and below 128mm on the same size chart.

Taking an accurate measurement first

Center-to-center spacing is the straight-line distance between the centers of the two mounting screw holes, not the outer edges of the pull itself, so measure from one screw hole's center point to the other's rather than along the pull's overall length. A tape measure and a few minutes checking each drawer front against the others is enough to confirm a kitchen is consistent, since older homes sometimes mix spacings across different remodeling projects over the years.
