Remove an existing pull and measure from the exact center of one hole to the other. Common US spacings are 3, 3-3/4, or 5 inches. Match your replacement pull precisely to prevent cross-threading and gouging core material.

Cabinet doors typically require standard 1-inch screws, while double-walled drawer fronts need 1-1/2 to 1-3/4-inch fasteners. Hardware screws need roughly 1/4 inch of exposed thread to grip the pull casting securely without stripping.

North American hardware uses standard #8-32 machine screws. For thicker drawers, buy longer screws or segmented breakaway screws. Breakaway screws allow you to snap off excess length cleanly with pliers at pre-scored indentations.

Old pulls often leave grease footprints, indentations, or finish halos. Slip a decorative backplate between the cabinet face and your new hardware. A 4 to 6-inch plate conceals older marks and minor bore hole chipping without sanding or painting.

Avoid power drills and impact drivers, which easily strip cast threads or crush soft particleboard. Use a manual #2 Phillips or slotted screwdriver to stop turning the exact moment the screw seats securely against the interior cabinet face.

Protect your security deposit by bagging each original pull with its factory screws. Label zip-top bags by room zone and store them in an upper pantry or tote, ready for an easy, damage-free reinstallation at move-out.
