Berenson Tempo Series 6-5/16" (160 mm) Center to Center Brushed Nickel Pull, - 1126-2BPN-P
Description
Berenson Tempo Brushed Nickel Pull For Cabinets
Berenson Tempo brushed nickel pull is a steel cabinet handle designed around a 160 mm center to center mounting, so hole spacing lines up with that standard drilling on doors and drawers. The Tempo Series is described as Classic Comfort, which supports transitional style projects that blend traditional framing with cleaner lines. The brushed nickel finish gives the pull a muted metal surface, which helps it sit well against a wide range of painted or stained cabinet fronts in kitchen, bath, or shop environments. An overall length of 8-11/16 inches spreads the visual weight across wider drawer fronts, helping longer faces look balanced. A width of 1/2 inch sets a slim face profile, so the pull reads streamlined without looking oversized on narrow rails. This pull is part of the Berenson Tempo Series, so it maintains consistent style with other pieces from the same collection.
Key Tempo Series Pull Details That Matter
- The 160 mm center to center dimension gives a fixed mounting spread, which speeds layout when drilling or swapping from other 160 mm hardware across multiple cabinet runs.
- A projection of 1-1/4 inches moves the gripping bar away from the door surface, giving fingers space to wrap the pull while helping reduce knuckle contact with the cabinet face.
- The 25/32 inch hand clearance dimension defines the open space behind the pull, so installers can plan for comfortable reach where thicker door profiles or edge details are present.
- The base diameter of 3/8 inch at each mounting point focuses the load into a small footprint, which is useful when lining up with existing flat spots on narrow rails or stile edges.
- Steel construction provides a rigid body for the pull, supporting repeated opening cycles in busy areas where cabinets are accessed throughout the day.
Cabinet Pull Mounting And Screw Interface
This Tempo Series pull is drilled for a 160 mm center to center mount, so both posts are set to accept that exact screw spacing during installation. The specified 8-32 x 1 inch screw size tells you the thread and length of the fastener the pull is designed around, which ties directly into common cabinet door and drawer thicknesses. With an 8-11/16 inch overall length, the pull spans beyond the mounting posts, which supports alignment on wider drawer faces without crowding the screw locations. The base diameter of 3/8 inch around each post keeps the contact area compact, which helps when aligning to flat, square spots on detailed door frames or face frames.
Using This Tempo Series Pull In Projects
Where The Tempo Series Cabinet Pull Fits
This pull sits in the Decorative Hardware & Moldings category under Handles and Pulls, so it is built specifically for cabinet doors and drawers in woodworking projects. The Classic Comfort description for the Tempo Series positions this design in a transitional style, bridging traditional cabinet profiles and more streamlined fronts in the same job. With an 8-11/16 inch overall length, the pull fits well on medium to wider drawers where extra length visually balances the face. The brushed nickel finish gives a subtle metal look that pairs smoothly with many laminates, painted MDF, or hardwood fronts. A width of 1/2 inch keeps the handle visually light, making it suitable for use in banks of drawers without overwhelming more detailed fronts.
Why Dimensions And Clearances Support Daily Use
The 160 mm center to center dimension defines repeatable mounting across multiple cabinets, which simplifies drilling jigs and layout for series work. A projection of 1-1/4 inches moves the gripping surface forward, helping fingers gain purchase even when door edges sit proud of the face frame. The 25/32 inch hand clearance dimension behind the bar supports a natural grip, which matters on thicker fingers and in busy kitchen or shop environments where cabinets are opened frequently. The 3/8 inch base diameter consolidates bearing around each screw location, which concentrates load into a manageable area on the back side of doors and drawers. Steel material construction provides a solid feel when pulling, which supports consistent operation on heavier fronts. The manufacturer part number 1126-2BPN-P identifies this exact combination of Tempo Series profile, brushed nickel finish, and 160 mm center to center sizing for repeat orders.
