Cabinet handle 100 mm

Explanation of 100 mm and 96 mm CC Measurements

When searching for handles and fittings, it is common to encounter the term "CC measurement" (center-to-center measurement), which refers to the distance between the screw holes on the handle or fitting. There is some confusion around different CC measurements, particularly between 100 mm and 96 mm.

Common CC Measurements

It is common for people to search for handles with a 100 mm CC measurement when they actually mean 96 mm. 96 mm is a standard measurement often used for handles and fittings, making it much easier to find on the market.

Why is 100 mm Confused with 96 mm?

This confusion can be due to several factors:

• Tricky Measuring Tools: It can sometimes be difficult to read measuring tapes and rulers accurately in millimeters.
• Finding the Center: Since the measurement is taken from the center of one hole to the center of the other, it can be challenging to determine the exact midpoint.
• Incorrect Information: It can also be due to incorrect or misleading information on some websites or in product descriptions.

Tips for Choosing Handles and Fittings

• Double-Check the Measurement: Always measure the exact distance between the screw holes on your existing handles or fittings to ensure you purchase the correct size.
• Use Standard Measurements: To get a wider selection and avoid custom adaptations, stick to standard measurements like 96 mm.
• Check Product Descriptions: Be sure to read product descriptions carefully to ensure the CC measurement is correctly specified.

By understanding the difference between these measurements and being aware of the 96 mm standard measurement, you can avoid common mistakes and find the right handles and fittings for your needs.
