This Top Knobs Whittier pull is a contemporary bar pull designed for cabinet doors and drawer fronts that demand hardware at a wider scale, mounting on 8-13/16 inch (224 mm) centers.
At 8-13/16 inches between centers, this pull is sized for cabinetry that would look undergrown with a 5 or 6 inch pull. Wide base drawers on an island, full-height pantry doors, and deep pot drawer fronts are the natural fits. The slim 7/16 inch bar keeps the profile lean even at this length, so the hardware reads as a drawn line across the front rather than a substantial object mounted on it. For designers working the one-third proportion convention, this spacing aligns with drawer fronts in the 24 to 30 inch range, though that is a design preference rather than a requirement.
The pull is cast in zinc and finished in Matte Black. A matte surface at this scale matters: a polished finish on a pull nearly 10 inches long would catch light across its entire face and become a visual anchor in the room. The low-sheen black stays quiet, letting the cabinetry read as the primary element. It holds its tone equally well against white painted slab fronts, where it creates deliberate contrast, and against dark stained or painted doors, where it integrates. Zinc is the standard construction material across the Whittier collection, giving the bar consistent weight in hand without the cost of solid brass.
Cabinet shops specifying a full kitchen with mixed door and drawer sizes reach for this center-to-center when the base run includes wide drawers that a shorter pull would not balance. Designers building out a contemporary kitchen or butler's pantry in a black hardware program use this pull on the larger fronts while stepping down to the shorter Whittier spacings on narrower doors and drawers, keeping the same series and finish throughout. Homeowners replacing existing hardware drilled to 224 mm centers will find this a direct fit with no new holes required.
Center-to-center, 8-13/16 inches (224 mm), is the distance between the two mounting holes and is the number you match to existing holes or lay out for new ones. Overall length, 9-5/16 inches (236 mm), is the full end-to-end size of the pull and determines how much space it occupies on the front.
Yes. Bar pulls work on both doors and drawer fronts. At this center-to-center it is particularly well suited to taller door fronts such as pantry or full-height uppers where the hardware should carry visual weight proportional to the front.
A matte finish is more forgiving than a polished one. It does not pick up highlights the way a gloss surface does, so everyday handling marks are less visible.
The Whittier series includes companion pieces across multiple center-to-center sizes and knobs in the same design language and Matte Black finish, so you can run a consistent hardware program from narrow doors through wide drawers.
When the cabinetry includes fronts that a shorter pull cannot balance, this 8-13/16 inch Whittier pull in Matte Black gives those doors and drawers hardware that fits the scale of the work.
