What Does 800mm Mean for My Cabinetry?

The 800mm measurement on this cabinet handle typically refers to the overall length of the handle bar. However, some manufacturers specify the hole centre-to-centre distance.

A true 800mm cabinet handle is a substantial piece of hardware. It spans approximately 31.5 inches, making it ideal for large-format cabinetry where visual balance and practical reach are important.

When selecting an 800mm cabinet handle, always check whether the product listing specifies overall length or fixing centre distance. This affects installation requirements.

What Are the Key Dimensions of 800mm Cabinet Handles?

Dimensions vary by manufacturer and style.

The overall length is typically 800mm or slightly longer on some models. The fixing centres vary, with some models using 600mm or 800mm spacing. The projection from the door surface ranges from 36mm to 100mm depending on the model. The bar diameter or height ranges from 16mm to 30mm.

How Do I Install an 800mm Cabinet Handle?

Installation requires careful measurement due to the handle’s length. Most handles are supplied with appropriate mounting screws for different door materials.

First, measure and mark. Determine the desired position on your cabinet door or drawer front. For vertical installation on wardrobe doors, centre the handle at a comfortable height. For horizontal installation on wide drawers, centre the handle along the drawer width.

Second, drill pilot holes. Using the handle as a template or a drilling jig, mark the screw hole positions. Drill pilot holes of appropriate size for your fixings.

Third, mount the handle. Insert screws from the inside of the door through the pilot holes. Attach the handle from the front. Tighten securely but not excessively to avoid damaging the finish or door material.

Finally, check alignment. For double-door applications, ensure handles are mounted at identical heights for visual consistency.

What Door Types Are Compatible with 800mm Cabinet Handles?

The handle is designed for versatility across multiple door materials.

Compatible surfaces include wooden doors, glass doors, aluminium-framed doors, and plastic or UPVC doors.

Many handles come with multiple fixing options. These include screws for wooden doors and specialised fittings for glass or metal applications. For glass doors, specific mounting kits are required and often sold separately.

Can I Use an 800mm Cabinet Handle Outdoors?

Yes, but material selection is critical.

For external applications such as garden sheds or outdoor cabinets, choose a handle manufactured from marine-grade 316 stainless steel. Alternatively, choose solid brass with a durable protective finish.

Standard stainless steel is suitable for sheltered outdoor locations. However, it may show signs of corrosion in coastal or high-moisture environments over time.
