How to find the right Nursery Drawer Handles AI guide

What the AI looks for in Nursery Drawer Handles
- Hole spacing
- Measure the center-to-center distance between the existing screw holes. Common sizes include 3 inches, 96 mm and 128 mm. Pulls only fit the existing holes if the spacing matches exactly, otherwise you must drill new holes.
- Screw length
- Match screw length to the drawer front thickness, or use breakaway screws. Screws that are too short won't hold, and screws that are too long protrude inside the drawer.
- Edges and projection
- Choose rounded knobs or low-profile pulls without sharp corners. Dresser handles sit at a toddler's head height.
- Durability
- Metal or solid wood holds up better than ceramic or glass. Ceramic and glass knobs can chip or crack when a child pulls on them.
Brands that matter
- Amerock: Wide range of standard-spacing pulls and knobs.
- Liberty Hardware: Broad catalog sold in common hole spacings.
- Hickory Hardware: Cabinet and furniture pulls in many finishes.
What to avoid
- Novelty knobs with glued-on small parts.
- Pulls a toddler can use as a foothold to climb. Anchor the dresser to the wall regardless.
Questions
How do I measure for new pulls?
Measure from the center of one screw hole to the center of the other, not the overall length of the handle.
