Amerock Thoreau backplate is a decorative backplate from the Amerock Thoreau Series that installs behind a pull to create a defined base for the cabinet hardware. This backplate is part of the Amerock backplate family, so it serves as a trim component that visually anchors a handle on the door or drawer front. The backplate is identified as Amerock Thoreau Series, Backplate 5-1/16" CC Matte Black, which means it is built around a 5-1/16 inch center-to-center mounting layout for the handle posts. That center-to-center layout lets the backplate work in jobs designed around the same 5-1/16 inch hole spacing, helping maintain consistent alignment across a run of doors. The SAP description THOREAU BACKPLATE 128MM CC MATTE BLACK states the center-to-center dimension as 128mm, so it supports metric planning as well as imperial layout when laying out cabinet hardware.
The Thoreau backplate 5-1/16 CC description ties the backplate directly to a 5-1/16 inch center-to-center pull layout, so it can be placed using the same drilling pattern as the handle. That shared pattern means the backplate can be slipped behind a handle located on 5-1/16 inch centers without reworking the door or drawer front. The SAP description also notes 128mm CC, so shops working in metric can reference 128mm in their boring patterns when aligning this backplate with matching hardware. Because the product is categorized as Decorative Hardware & Moldings in Backplates, Amerock, it is designed to sit flat between the pull and the cabinet surface, helping define a clean contact zone around the handle.

Because the product is in Decorative Hardware & Moldings under the Backplates, Amerock class, it suits cabinet doors and drawer fronts that benefit from an added decorative layer behind the pull footprint. The matte black description defines a dark, low-sheen appearance, so it works in designs where a matte black pull or knob needs a matching backplate to tie together the hardware suite across the room.
The Thoreau backplate uses a 5-1/16 inch center-to-center spacing, as called out in the Amerock Thoreau Series, Backplate 5-1/16" CC Matte Black description, so the openings on the backplate match the post spacing on pulls drilled to that dimension. That one-to-one relationship allows the backplate to sit accurately behind the pull without shifting, which helps keep the hardware straight along a cabinet bank. The SAP description stating 128mm CC provides the same spacing in metric, so CNC programs or drilling jigs set to 128mm can be used with this backplate and a 128mm CC pull as a coordinated set. Being part of the Backplates, Amerock product class means the piece is purpose-built as a trim component in a cabinet hardware assembly, which helps give the handle area a more finished boundary against the cabinet surface.
