Amerock Thoreau backplate defines a clear decorative base for your cabinet pull, giving you a consistent look across doors and drawers on the same run. As part of the Amerock Thoreau Series, this backplate ties into that design family so finished jobs read as one coordinated installation. The polished chrome finish establishes a bright, reflective surface that visually matches other polished chrome decorative hardware in the space, helping you keep finishes aligned across a kitchen or built-in. The 12-5/8 inch center-to-center dimension sets the pull mounting hole spacing, so runs built around this backplate can be drilled accurately for repeat work. Classified in Decorative Hardware & Moldings and specifically in Backplates, Amerock, this part fits right into standard cabinet hardware layouts on shop drawings and helps keep specifications organized when planning multiple projects.
The stated 12-5/8 inch center-to-center measurement on this Amerock Thoreau backplate sets the distance between pull mounting points, guiding drilling setups on cabinet doors and drawer fronts. With that fixed dimension defined, shop layouts for face drilling or CNC programs can reference the same spacing wherever this part is used. The 320mm CC reference in the description provides a metric reading of the same span, which matters when drawings or machinery are set up in millimeters. The polished chrome finish ties visually to polished chrome pulls or knobs in the same area, so the backplate reads as an integrated detail rather than a separate element. As a backplate in the Decorative Hardware & Moldings category, it is intended to sit between the pull and the cabinet surface, giving a clean framed area around the grip.
This Amerock Thoreau Series backplate is positioned in the Decorative Hardware & Moldings category, placing it squarely in cabinet and millwork applications where visual hardware details matter. The 12-5/8 inch center-to-center sizing steers it toward wider pulls on cabinet doors and larger drawers, helping the hardware scale with broader fronts on base cabinets and built-ins. The 320mm CC reference works with metric-based shop drawings, which is useful when projects specify dimensions in millimeters. The polished chrome finish aligns well with polished chrome decorative hardware, so it suits jobs where bright, reflective metal is already established on pulls, hinges, or other exposed hardware components. As a backplate in the Amerock product class, it functions as a trim piece behind the pull footprint, defining a consistent outline across all fronts that use this part.
The Amerock Thoreau backplate 12-5/8 inch center-to-center dimension gives installers a fixed reference between fasteners, which supports accurate hole placement when repeating the same hardware across long cabinet runs. That same spacing called out as 320mm CC allows a straightforward translation into metric tools or programs, keeping layout consistent between imperial and metric workflows. The polished chrome identification tells you the visual character of the surface, letting you match it with polished chrome pulls so the backplate does not introduce a color or sheen shift in the hardware set. Being part of the Thoreau Series helps project teams specify matching Amerock components under a single design family, simplifying submittals and reducing mix-and-match risk between different styles. Its role within Decorative Hardware & Moldings as a backplate means it defines the visible backing under the pull, which can create a regular hardware footprint from door to door.
The 12-5/8 inch center-to-center measurement describes the spacing between the pull mounting points on the backplate, helping layout and drilling match that exact distance on cabinet fronts.
The 320mm CC description is the metric expression of the same center-to-center distance, supporting metric-based shop drawings and CNC programming for repeatable hole spacing.
