To reuse existing holes, match screw-centre spacing first. Overall handle length, door thickness and projection are separate dimensions.
Measure between hole centres
Record centre-to-centre millimetres, not edge-to-edge distance. If the old handle is bent, use the hole positions rather than its metal length.
Read separate product dimensions
IKEA BAGGANÄS 003.384.07 lists length, hole spacing, depth and suitable door thickness separately. Package length is not an installation dimension.

This example uses the official IKEA Greece product table, checked on 2026-10-25. It is not a physical measurement or a fitting test of another market’s option.
| Distinct dimension | Published value |
|---|---|
| Overall handle length | 143 mm |
| Hole-centre spacing | 128 mm |
| Projection depth | 31 mm |
| Suitable door thickness | 16–21 mm |
For existing holes 128 mm apart, compare the 128 mm hole spacing, not the 143 mm overall length. A hypothetical 22 mm door falls outside the stated 16–21 mm range; matching holes do not establish fit. Ask the manufacturer before substituting a longer screw.
These specifications belong to this exact article number. Do not transfer them to an affiliate product below. Also check clearance to adjacent doors or walls and the specified fasteners.
Record the replacement fit
Check adjacent handles with doors open. Match prescribed fixing hardware; door thickness alone cannot establish screw suitability.
| Check | Record |
|---|---|
| Hole centres | Centre-to-centre millimetres |
| Overall length | Candidate outer length |
| Projection | Neighbouring handle or wall clearance |
| Door thickness | Manufacturer range |
| Fixings | Specified screws and included parts |
Do not force mismatched holes
Different centre spacing requires another drilling pattern. Choose a matching candidate rather than forcing screws into the old holes.
A worked example
Hypothetical case: existing centres are 128 mm. A candidate with 128 mm overall length but 96 mm hole spacing cannot reuse those holes. Do not read overall length as centre spacing.
