Allison

Allison hardware — specifically their Amerock Value line — makes bulk-packaged cabinet pulls and knobs that contractors actually use. Zinc alloy construction, precise center-to-center measurements, and 10-pack pricing. That’s what matters when you’re installing hardware on twenty kitchen cabinets before lunch.

The 96mm Pull That Works

The Allison Satin Nickel 3-3/4” Pull comes with exact specs: 3.75 inches (96mm) center-to-center spacing, 4-3/4 inches overall length, 5/8 inch width, and 1-1/16 to 1-3/16 inch projection. Zinc alloy material with #8-32 screw sizing means it’ll mount to any standard cabinet door without drama.

Here’s what actually matters about these pulls:

Overall Length4-3/4”
Width5/8”
Projection1-1/16” to 1-3/16”
MaterialZinc Alloy
Screw Size#8-32
Pack Quantity10-pack

Contractors appreciate the modern, clean appearance and compatibility with various cabinet styles — works for both rustic and contemporary designs. The projection range gives you enough clearance for most drawer fronts without sticking out too far. The simple design lacks distinctive features for high-end applications, but that’s not what you’re buying these for.

Knob Comparison: Pick Your Finish

Both the Satin Nickel and Oil-Rubbed Bronze knobs hit the same 1-1/4 inch (32mm) diameter standard. Side-by-side comparison shows minor but meaningful differences:

Mounting Hardware#8-32 x 1” truss head screws#8-32 x 1” (25mm) truss head machine screw
WeightNot specified0.16 lb (70.76g)

The Satin Nickel gets a G10 finish code — that’s the industry designation for the brushed nickel look. Both knobs include the mounting screws, which saves a trip back to the hardware aisle. The Oil-Rubbed Bronze gives you slightly more projection at 30mm max versus the Satin Nickel’s 27mm. Small difference, but it matters when you’re matching existing hardware.

Installation Reality Check

Both product lines include mounting hardware — specifically #8-32 x 1 inch truss head machine screws. That’s the right size for standard 3/4” cabinet doors with a bit of thread left over. The truss head design spreads the load better than a standard pan head, which matters more on particleboard boxes than plywood.

The knobs show a base diameter of 11/16 inch — small enough to avoid interference with raised panel edges but large enough to cover existing screw holes from previous hardware. Smart sizing for replacement work.

Who Should Buy This Hardware

Common use cases include kitchen and bathroom cabinets, furniture, and other cabinetry where a sleek finish enhances the overall aesthetic. The affordability and broad design appeal make it practical for both residential and commercial projects.

Buy Allison hardware when you need:

  • Consistent finish across multiple cabinets
  • Value-priced bulk packs for large projects
  • Basic hardware that won’t call attention to itself
  • Zinc alloy construction that resists Montana’s dry climate

Skip it for true high-end work where clients expect distinctive hardware. These pulls and knobs do their job without pretense. Some users note the finish may show fingerprints or wear over time — standard issue for satin nickel anywhere.

FAQ

What size screws come with Allison cabinet hardware?

All Allison hardware includes #8-32 x 1 inch truss head machine screws. These work for standard 3/4” cabinet doors. Thicker doors need longer screws.

What’s the actual projection on the satin nickel pulls?

The pulls project between 1-1/16 and 1-3/16 inches from the cabinet face. That range accounts for manufacturing tolerances and gives adequate clearance for most applications.

How many mounting holes do the pulls have?

The pulls feature three mounting holes for secure installation. Standard two-hole mounting at the 96mm centers plus a center hole for extra stability on heavy doors.

Is there a quality difference between the Satin Nickel and Oil-Rubbed Bronze finishes?

Both use the same zinc die-cast construction. The finishes differ in appearance and feel, not durability. The Satin Nickel resists tarnishing and common household cleaners.

What’s the weight capacity of these pulls?

No weight ratings provided by the manufacturer. Standard zinc alloy pulls handle typical residential cabinet doors without issue. For heavy commercial doors, consider upgraded hardware.
