Drill holes
Do you want to replace existing handles? Then measure the current drill holes by measuring the center of the screw to the center of the next screw on the back of the door or drawer. This is called the centre-to-centre distance.
It is good to know that the drill holes for standard handles are 32 mm or a multiple thereof. We also sell standard sizes with standard drilling holes. For example, our handle of 5 and 7,5 cm has drill holes with a distance of 32 mm, the handle of 15 cm 128 mm, the one of 20 cm 160 mm and 25 cm has 190 mm drilling holes. If your drilling holes don’t match or you want to choose your one size, custom size handles are the solution.
Are the handles intended for new cupboard doors, kitchen doors or drawers? Then the size of the drill holes can be anything. We recommend keeping a distance of 20 mm from the end of the handle. This prevents the drill hole and thus the handle from splitting. Just an example: if you have a grip of 60 cm, the drill holes would be 560 mm.
If the handle is longer than 700 mm, we add an extra hole in the middle.

Planning 2024
You are probably curious how long the delivery time for customization is? On average this is three weeks. We work with very long lengths, sometimes up to 240 cm long, and we always have a stock of them. We make the custom size handles from these long Sticks and our stock has standard sizes as well. Every three weeks we collect the orders from the workshop that were ordered the week before.
For 2024, these are the planned dates until the summer closure:
- custom made ordered no later than Tuesday 29 Oct – shipping from 5 Nov
- custom made ordered no later than Tuesday 12 November – shipping from 18 November
- custom made ordered no later than Tuesday 26 November – shipping from 3 December
- custom made ordered no later than Tuesday 10 December – shipping from 17 December
Treatment methods
The wooden products in our shop including Stick and Pegrail are untreated. We have chosen this because then all options for finishing the product are still open. Some customers choose to leave the handle untreated and allow the wood to discolor naturally through exposure to light and touch. This is of course possible, the wood will then come to life. Or maybe you want to have a handle treated with the color of the cabinet door. This is also easily possible with an untreated handle.
Others want to protect the wood against the aging process. We offer different treatments in our shop.
