How to Measure Hole Centers for Handle Pulls

How do you determine hole centers on your drawer pulls? 

First of all let's get some terminology out of the way :) 

There are a lot of ways to say hole centers. You can say hole-to-hole center, hole-to-hole length, length of holes, center-to-center holes but they all mean the same thing! The distance between the center of the first hole to the center of the second hole on your handle.

This is very important if you are replacing existing hardware and want to use the same holes! If you are starting from scratch, we recommend placing masking tape on your cupboards/drawers and marking your holes before drilling. Measure twice! Drill once!
