Furniture Handle Selection Guide｜Wardrobe & Drawer Handle Sizes

Furniture handles are not only functional hardware but also essential design elements that affect both the aesthetics and usability of cabinets, wardrobes, and drawers.
The most common classification of handles is based on the Center-to-Center (C.C.) measurement, such as 64mm, 96mm, 128mm, and 160mm, which are widely used standard sizes.

When selecting a furniture handle, three key factors should be considered:

1. Wardrobe Door Height – Taller doors require longer handles for better grip and smooth operation.

2. Drawer Width – Wider drawers need larger handles to distribute pulling force evenly.

3. Design Proportion – A small handle on a large panel looks disproportionate, while a large handle on a small drawer may appear bulky.

By choosing the right handle size, you can improve durability, user comfort, and overall furniture design balance. The following guide provides recommendations based on door height and drawer width.
