However, they can look very smart, particularly on a desk. Most cabinet pulls screw onto the surface of the door or drawer, but recessed models require that a hole to be cut in the surface with a chisel or router and hence are much more difficult to fit. These fall into the cabinet category, though they're very much a drawer fitting and not really suited to doors. Pendant and drop handles are hinged pulls that lift up for opening. Some people consider them too short for cabinet doors, but they do bring another interesting element to the mix. They can be used horizontally or vertically. T-bars are a short bar that fix with a single screw. As such, they have a less cluttered appearance. They're almost invariably mounted horizontally, which doesn't always work on some doors.Įdge or finger pulls are a sleek, modern L-shaped design that, as the name suggests, fits the edge of doors and cupboards. One advantage with this style is the range of sizes available – anywhere from about three inches long to over two feet.īin or cup handle pulls are the classic library or wooden file cabinet look, though they work equally well in some styles of kitchen and bathroom. They're commonly round or square in cross section, but there are a number of interesting extensions to the basic design that are worth looking at. While we say “traditional,” there's a huge choice, from contemporary square section to classic twists to “bird cage” styles.īar-type cabinet pulls in which the ends extend beyond the screw fixing points are perhaps the most popular. Traditional elongated loops, where the screws fit into the ends, are known as “arch” or “appliance” handles. However, there might be a few designs you haven't considered, so we’ve provided a brief run-through to help stimulate your creativity. Style is very much a matter of personal taste. You can make radical changes to all kinds of wardrobes and cupboards with a couple coats of chalk paint and a different set of pulls.
