The character
L: its place in the collection
Our L size is the largest option available in a knob, and the most generous dimension in the collection for pulls outside of the XL. It’s a choice of statement: you don’t put an L handle in place by accident, you choose it because you want it to be seen, to carry weight, to matter in the composition.

Uses for the L format
As a knob
In knobs, the L is substantial. At this scale, the pattern becomes a true decorative subject: the lion takes on a sculptural presence, the scrollwork unfurls as ornamentation in its own right, the escutcheon converses with the front that carries it. This is the format for the imposing armoire door, the large bedroom dresser, the formal buffet, the bookcase, the pantry door, or the deep drawer of a substantial console. On a wide, tall front, a small knob gets lost; the L knob, by contrast, organizes the eye and gives the piece of furniture authority.
As a pull
In pulls, the L size comes standard at 160 mm center-to-center (c/c). This is the spacing for generous drawer pulls, suited to large kitchen drawers (pot and pan drawers, deep under-sink drawers), low bookcase cabinets, closet doors, and large wardrobes. On request, the L is also available at 128 mm or 96 mm center-to-center, letting you keep the piece’s commanding presence with tighter drilling, particularly useful when fitting existing furniture.
Fitting & fixing
How to install it
The L knob attaches with a single central mounting point, like the other knobs in the collection, but with a screw and drill hole sized to the piece’s mass. The L pull requires two holes spaced 160 mm, 128 mm, or 96 mm apart, depending on the version ordered. At this scale, screw placement is critical: we recommend marking the position in pencil before drilling, and checking it by eye against the front.
By touch
The hand and the gesture
The L handle offers a wide, full, satisfying grip. The opening gesture becomes generous, almost ceremonious. This is a handle meant to be taken in the whole hand, its material thickness conveying at once the sense of a serious, substantial object.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions about cabinet handles in size L
Product and Material
Sizes and Patterns
Are All Finishes and Patterns Available in Size L?
Nearly all finishes, yes. As for patterns, the more detailed ones (lions, fine scrollwork) gain clarity at size M and above: on a very small size, an intricate design reads less clearly. The exact combinations of size, pattern, and material appear at the moment of choice, on the product page. When in doubt about a sculptural pattern, go with M or a larger size.
Center-to-center spacing and drilling
Can I Order a Size with a Non-standard Center-to-center?
Yes. Most of our two-point sizes can be ordered with custom drilling, around the standard values of 96, 128, and 160 mm depending on the size. Just note the center-to-center you need in the order comments. The handle's overall length stays the same, only the screw positions shift to line up with your existing holes. It's the solution for replacing an old handle without redrilling your front.

Choosing your size
What Size Handle for a Kitchen or a Walk-in Closet?
In the kitchen, size M (128 mm center-to-center) is the safe choice for recent door and drawer fronts; for large pot and pan drawers, move up to L (160 mm) or XL (192 mm). In a closet, XL matches the verticality of full-height doors, while M or S stay discreet on interior drawers. The general rule: match the handle's presence to the scale of the piece. When in doubt, a medium size works almost everywhere.
Does Size L Fit My Furniture?
Each size has its favorite pieces, detailed in the Uses section at the top of this page. The simple rule: match the handle's presence to the piece of furniture, a small drawer calls for a small size, a large front can take a longer one without looking overwhelmed. Size L fits within that logic of proportion. If you're replacing a two-point pull, the main thing to check is that its center-to-center matches your existing holes.
Find your handles in size L
For those seeking a large cabinet handle, an oversized decorative knob, an imposing 160 mm pull, or a bold statement on a wide door front, the L is the answer.
