128 mm
The center-to-center distance is the most important measurement when choosing a new handle: it is the distance between the two mounting points on the back of the handle, measured in millimeters. If the distance matches exactly, you can replace an old handle without any drilling.
The most common center-to-center distance in European kitchens. 128mm is standard on medium-sized drawers and cabinet doors, and is used by many kitchen manufacturers and IKEA models.
The handles in this collection are all made of solid stainless steel and come in black, silver, matte silver, or gold finishes. Use the filter button above the products to filter by color or series.

Measuring the center-to-center distance
Get a ruler or measuring tape. Measure from the center of one screw hole on the back of your current handle to the center of the other screw hole. If that distance is exactly 128mm, a handle from this collection will fit without you having to drill new holes. If the distance differs, you will need to drill new holes or choose a series that is available in the existing distance.
Why 128mm is popular
Standard sizes such as 96mm, 128mm, 160mm and 192mm are industry standards, followed by both large kitchen manufacturers and smaller craft workshops. When replacing or renovating, you have the greatest choice in these standard sizes: in virtually every series, every finish and every price range.
For non-standard sizes (64mm or 224mm+), the range is more limited. When renovating kitchens built with other standards (older kitchens or foreign brands), it is better to check the existing drill holes before choosing a series.
Material and durability
The solid stainless steel body remains sleek and shape-retaining for years, even in damp areas such as the kitchen or bathroom. The finish is resistant to normal daily use and retains its appearance with regular cleaning with a damp cloth.
Application
Suitable for kitchen cabinets and drawer fronts and for cabinets and sideboards provided the center-to-center distance matches the existing drill holes. For new construction, you determine the drilling position yourself. When used on wardrobes or sideboards: always check beforehand whether the center-to-center distance matches the existing drill holes of the furniture.
