Door Pull Handle Size Chart: Centres, Lengths and Grip Diameters

Updated 2026-11-05 · RAYEN 雷茵

Our door pull handle range runs to 105 models, and every dimension below comes off the drawing for that model. Sort by what you already know. If you have holes in a door, start with P. If you have a space on a door, start with overall length.

What do the numbers on a pull handle mean?

• Centre distance (P): the distance between the centres of the two fixing feet. This is the number you drill to.
• Overall length: the handle from end to end. This is the number you see on the door.
• Grip section: the size of the bar in your hand. Ø means round. 25 × 25mm means square.
• Projection: door face to the outside of the grip. It includes the bar, so the clear gap for your fingers is smaller.
• Standoff: the clear gap itself, printed on some models.

T1263 shows how the two relate. Its bar is 22mm and its projection is 52mm, which leaves 30mm of clear gap.

Pull handle sizes by model

The table runs from the shortest handle up and stops at the everyday door sizes. Handles over a metre are in the guide to long entrance door pull handles.

Why does the same centre come in different lengths?

Because the feet sit in two different places. Compare two models that share P=425mm.

• T1172: P=425mm, 450mm long, 25 × 25mm square bar. The length is P plus 25mm, exactly one bar width. The feet sit at the ends of the bar, so this is a D-shaped pull.
• T1170: P=425mm, 600mm long, Ø27mm bar. The length is P plus 175mm. The bar runs past both feet, so this is a straight bar handle with overhang.

The same check works across the range. T1121 is 550mm long at P=528mm with a 22mm bar. T3008 is 600mm long at P=568mm with a 32mm bar. T2640 is 450mm long at P=425mm with a Ø25mm bar. In each one, length minus P equals the bar size, and the photo shows a D-pull. When the gap is much bigger, as on T1111 (900mm long at P=700mm), expect a straight bar that overhangs its feet.

So the shape decides the length. Pick the shape first, then the centre.

Which models come in more than one length?

Several models keep one section and change length. Each length has its own P, so write both on the order.

• T790: 400mm at P=360mm, 600mm at P=560mm, 800mm at P=760mm.
• T1170: 450mm at P=275mm, 600mm at P=425mm, 750mm at P=575mm.
• T1172: 300mm at P=275mm, 450mm at P=425mm, 600mm at P=575mm.
• T52: 600mm at P=425mm, 1200mm at P=800mm.

Read those last rows twice. P=275mm is a 450mm handle on T1170 and a 300mm handle on T1172. A centre alone never identifies a handle.

How much projection does a pull handle need?

Most of our handles project 60mm to 70mm. T1225 is a shallow 42mm, while T2083 stands 90mm off the door and T3008 100mm. Each model page gives its own figure. Check it in two places. On a door that opens fully against a wall or a return, the handle needs room. On a pair of doors with handles side by side, a large projection and a wide grip can touch when the leaves close.

What should you measure before ordering?

• Replacing a handle: measure centre to centre of the existing holes, not the outside edges. Then measure the old handle end to end.
• New door: mark where the feet land. Each foot must reach solid material, not a hollow core or a glass joint.
• Door edge: measure from the stile edge to the handle line, and allow for the bar and any overhang on a pair of doors.
• Door type and thickness: timber or glass sets the fixing hole. See how pull handles fix to the door.

What to write on your order

Give us one line per handle: model, overall length, P, grip section, finish, door type, door thickness, and whether you want one handle or a pair per door. For example: T1170, 600mm long, P=425mm, Ø27mm, satin stainless, timber door, back-to-back pair. If a size you need sits between two of ours, send the drawing and we will read it against the mould.
