Kitchen Cabinet Hardware
The kitchen is the room your hands know best. You reach for the same drawer before coffee, again at dinner, again while clearing up — a few inches of metal touched more than anything else in the house. It's also the first detail a guest notices, and the one a buyer reads to judge whether the kitchen was done properly. Hardware here earns its place twice: in the hand every day, and in the eye of everyone who walks in.
This collection carries the full Archandles kitchen range — every finish and form, sized for base cabinets, upper cabinets, and island drawers, from 3.75 inch (96 mm) to 12.5 inch (320 mm) center-to-center. Brass and gold lead the range; matte black and brushed nickel hold the cooler end. Start here at the beginning of a kitchen renovation, then narrow by finish or form.

Sizing, Fit & Finish
What size pull or knob should I use?
Match the hardware to the drawer or door it sits on. A 5-inch pull suits most standard drawers — wide enough for a full-hand grip, balanced on a 24- to 30-inch front. Small drawers and upper cabinets take a 3.75-inch pull; wide pan drawers and tall doors carry 6.25 inches and up. Knobs read as a single point and sit well on doors. A quick rule: a pull spans roughly one-third of the drawer's width.
Which finish handles daily kitchen use?
A kitchen pull is touched dozens of times a day, so finish behavior matters more here than in most rooms. Matte black hides fingerprints but shows dust in flat light, and takes a damp cloth only. Brushed and satin finishes — brass, gold, and nickel — carry a texture that hides everyday marks and wipe clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Polished gold shows fingerprints and water spots most, so it rewards a quick wipe. Choose by how much upkeep you want day to day.
How many pulls and knobs will I need?
Count one pull per drawer and one knob or pull per cabinet door, then add any appliance panels you're covering. A kitchen usually has more drawers than people expect once deep pan drawers and cutlery drawers are included, so tally them cabinet by cabinet before ordering. Buying the full count in one order also keeps the look consistent, since finishes can vary slightly between production batches — a single order is the safest way to have them match.
