How far apart are drawer pulls?
There is no right or wrong size to choose, but we do recommend choosing pulls that have at least a 3-3/4″ center to center (the distance between the screw holes). This size looks pleasing on most cabinets, while still being large enough to grip comfortably. 5″ pulls are also an excellent choice.
When should a drawer have two pulls?
Drawers wider than 18″ need two knobs/pulls, whereas drawer narrower need only one.

Single pulls or knobs on drawers should be laterally centered and slightly higher than vertical center.
Where should drawer pulls be placed?
Pulls should be placed horizontally on drawers. For small drawers (less than 24” wide) center the knobs or pulls in both directions. Just like on larger drawers, pulls should be placed horizontally. Knobs and pulls can also be placed centered at the very top of the drawer panel, where the drawer rail begins.
