9 1/4'' (235 mm)

9-1/4" (235mm) cabinet hardware pull spacing

9-1/4" (235mm) cabinet hardware falls between the shorter spacings common on standard-width drawers and the longer bars made for broad cabinet doors, a length that comes up less often but still gets specified on mid-size drawer fronts. Belwith-Keeler's Bijou Stesso pull is the clearest example carried at this exact spacing, offered in satin nickel, then matte black, then brushed golden brass, all three tagged Eclectic.

Why a pull gets built at this particular length

A drawer too wide for a compact bar, yet not wide enough to reach for hardware built to span a full refrigerator door, is exactly what this spacing was built to fill. Bijou Stesso keeps its slim, eclectic-styled bar proportional here instead of simply scaling up a shorter design, so the piece avoids looking stretched thin across the drawer front.

How does 9-1/4" compare to more common spacings?

It stretches well past a compact bar's reach but stops well short of hardware wide enough for a full oven or fridge front, sitting in territory most kitchens only need on a few wider drawers scattered through the layout, a cookware drawer or a utensil tray more than most of a kitchen's drawers put together. Because fewer collections build to this exact length, matching an existing pull here to a different brand takes more searching than matching a more common size would.

Confirming fit ahead of ordering

• Screw-hole spacing decides fit, not a pull's outer length. Measure straight across from one mounting screw to the other, not the pull's visible ends.
• A piece built to this spacing won't drop onto holes meant for a neighboring size without new drilling both times.
• Finish choices here run cool through warm, so this single length still covers several color directions for a kitchen.

Nearby spacings worth checking

If current holes measure a little shorter, 5-1/16" (128.6mm) is the far more common standard. For something noticeably longer, 12" (304.8mm) covers wider doors and full appliance fronts instead.
