Projection refers to how far a backplate extends from the surface it’s mounted on, impacting both aesthetics and usability. Most backplates have a low projection (such as 1/8" or 3mm), which provides a sleek, flush look while still offering protection for cabinet surfaces. Low-projection designs, like those found in the Hickory Hardware Cavalier Backplate, Top Knobs Lynwood Hollin Backplate, and Amerock Maymont Handle Backplate, ensure hardware sits comfortably and looks refined. With consistent low-projection options, you can achieve a streamlined appearance that fits any style.
