Double Cup Pulls on Drawers?

15 years ago

Is ther a rule of thumb as to what size drawer you should use a double cup pull versus a single? We have a few different size drawers and I'm not sure which ones to use double cup pulls, if any. Any advice is appreciated!

It's all about how it looks to you. If you have quality rails, you only need to tug on one of the two to make the drawer open, so do what you think looks best. I have double knobs on my drawers over 30", but knobs/short pulls/cup pulls look "normal" on anything from 24"-ish up, and can be decorative on any drawer with a couple inches on either side and double that between.

I agree with plllog. We have the Blum drawer rails. Our GC likes to put two on drawers over 30" so we have one on the 30" drawer below the wall ovens and two on the 36" (~10" high) pot and pan drawers. But the pot and pan drawers open easily pulling on just one of the two. With modern drawer hardware, having two pulls on a 36" drawer is for looks. One pull would do the job fine.

Our cup pulls are about 5" wide at the bottom.
