The width of a backplate affects how much surface area it covers and the overall visual balance with your hardware. Wider backplates can conceal imperfections or old drill holes, while narrower ones offer a delicate, understated look. Choices range from more slender designs, like the Hickory Hardware Manor House Mock Key Backplate at 1" wide, to broader options like the Top Knobs Sanctuary Half Circle Back Plate at 2-1/2" wide. The Notting Hill Pembridge Backplate offers a mid-range width of 1-5/16", providing versatility for various cabinet styles. With multiple widths available, you can choose a backplate that best suits your application and design preferences.
