Berenson Toccata Series 3" (76 mm) Center to Center Brushed Nickel Pull, - 8243-1BPN-P
Description
Berenson Toccata Series 3 Inch Pull Details
Berenson Toccata Series 3 inch pull is a zinc die cast handle in a brushed nickel finish that provides a defined grip point for cabinet doors and drawers, giving installers a consistent, repeatable pull point across a run of fronts. The 3 inch center to center drilling creates a fixed hole pattern that aligns with common layouts, helping speed marking and drilling on face frames or panels. Its overall length of 4-3/16 inches extends beyond the mounting points, giving fingers extra purchase when opening heavier fronts. A projection of 1-1/8 inches spaces the hand off the surface, helping reduce knuckle contact against door and drawer faces. The 3/8 inch width concentrates the grip along a narrower profile, which can be useful where adjacent fronts sit close together. The brushed nickel finish offers a muted metallic appearance that can visually coordinate with other brushed nickel hardware in the same space.
Key Brushed Nickel Pull Working Advantages
- The zinc die cast material provides a solid cabinet pull body that supports normal door and drawer operation in typical woodworking environments, giving a stable feel each time the pull is used.
- The brushed nickel finish delivers a consistent metallic surface that helps visually tie together cabinets, drawers, and other decorative hardware specified with similar finishes in the room.
- The 3 inch center to center dimension defines the drilling pattern for this handle, allowing repeatable hole spacing across multiple doors and drawers during layout.
- The overall length of 4-3/16 inches gives the pull extended ends beyond the mounting points, offering additional grip area for larger hands or thicker drawer fronts.
- The 1-1/8 inch projection holds the gripping surface out from the cabinet face, which can help fingers clear raised panels, edge profiles, or adjacent fronts during everyday use.
- The 3/8 inch width keeps the pull profile relatively slender, helping it fit on narrower rails or smaller drawer fronts where wider pulls might crowd edges or neighboring hardware.
Cabinet Pull Mounting Dimensions And Fit
The 3 inch center to center measurement sets the distance between mounting holes, guiding drilling and template placement for this cabinet pull on both doors and drawers. Its base dimensions of 7/16 inch define the footprint at each mounting point, which helps determine how much flat surface is needed at the rail or stile. With an overall length of 4-3/16 inches, the handle spans beyond the mounting bases, which can influence how it lines up relative to panel edges and stile widths. The 1-1/8 inch projection and 3/8 inch width together establish the working clearance around the hand grip, affecting how the pull interacts with adjacent fronts, trim, or nearby hardware in a cabinet run.
Using This 8243-1BPN-P Pull In Your Work
Where This 3 Inch Cabinet Pull Fits Best
This Berenson Corporation pull from the Toccata Series is part of the Handles and Pulls category, positioning it for use on cabinet doors and drawers in woodworking projects. The 3 inch center to center drilling aligns with a commonly used size in decorative hardware, which can help this pull coordinate with other handles sharing the same hole spacing in a kitchen, bath, or shop-built installation. Its 4-3/16 inch overall length allows it to sit comfortably on standard drawer fronts and door rails without overhanging most common cabinet dimensions. Base dimensions of 7/16 inch provide a compact contact area at each end, which can be useful when mounting near profiled edges or on narrower frames where space is limited.
Why These Dimensions Support Repeatable Results
The fixed 3 inch center to center dimension allows installers to reuse drilling jigs or templates already set for this spacing, supporting faster production work and consistent alignment across a full bank of cabinets. The 1-1/8 inch projection creates a predictable stand-off from the face, which can help maintain uniform clearance lines when mixing this pull with other Toccata Series cabinet hardware. The 3/8 inch width contributes to a tidy visual line along the drawer or door, useful when repeating the pull across long cabinet runs where slight size differences can stand out. The brushed nickel finish gives a stable appearance that can visually link this pull with other brushed nickel handles and pulls from the same job specification, supporting a coherent look from one cabinet section to the next. The manufacturer part number 8243-1BPN-P clearly identifies this exact size and finish combination, which helps with reordering matching pulls for future add-ons or replacements.
