Where can I get Adjustable CTC cabinet pulls
Published by John W. Wagonis in Cabinet Hardware · 6 March 2020
I'm trying to find cabinet handles to fit my 3-1/4" screw holes. Or my 2-3/4" screw holes. Or 5-1/16", etc. etc.
In 19 years time, if we had a nickel for every time we heard this phrase, we probably would have about $200 by now. It is a common question, generally related to customers who want to spruce up their existing kitchen cabinets with a minimal effort. Cabinet handles are a preference. When you purchase an existing house or condo, and one of the first things you say is yuk to the old handles on all the doors and drawer fronts, your first thought is to change them.
If you have one of the two most common sizes, 3" and 96mm (3-3/4"), you will have a multitude of choices. 3" ctc WAS one of the most common American sizes. And 96mm by far has been the most common European size. But before Americans started growing larger, the 2-3/4" CTC size was the most popular American size. And very very few handles today are made in that size. But we have some! Several in fact.
For a quick reference of what we do have in 2-3/4" if you are looking for that particular size, please see our Center to Center Drawer Pulls Options Page. We have outlined many measurement sizes on that page to get you to what you need. 2-3/4" is one of the star attractions.

We offer the incredible line of Arthur Harris stainless steel handles. These are not considered an adjustable CTC handle, but worth honorable mention here because Arthur Harris will make them in whatever size you need! Yes, you heard that right. Arthur Harris technically makes one style of handle in one finish. Theirs are solid 303 premium grade stainless steel, brought to an elegant brushed finish. It is the European Railing style handle, round bar above two round legs. BUT! Arthur Harris will make the handles from 2" up to 96" long in increments of a sixteenth of an inch. Longer handles will have 3 legs, possibly 4 if very long. The bar diameter comes in 6 sizes, from sleek up to 1" dia. for those huge heavy glass doors. They also offer a back to back mouting option, you can have a handle on opposite sides of a door. This has become popular in hotel renovation on closet doors. There are other parameters that are custom also such as length to CTC ratio, the height of the handles, even the positioning of the legs for special applications. And Arthur Harris handles, and their stainless steel knobs, are Made in the USA!
Finding new handles in a specific size is not always easy. There are popular sizes that many manufactures are agreeing upon such as 128mm CTC, 160mm CTC, 192mm and others. But when you have an oddball, something that potentially is not made any more, the adjustable CTC handles for the smaller range sizes is a good way to go. Arthur Harris is also a good choice. And in a completely brand new kitchen where you would like your rail handles to vary in size to coordinated with your doors and drawer fronts, Arthur Harris is awesome!
