Aluminum Alloy Cabinet Handle and Knob

What this cabinet hardware is

This is a cabinet handle and knob for kitchens, bathrooms, closets and any cabinet or drawer in the house. The body is aluminum alloy, which keeps it light in the hand while holding a solid feel. The finish is brushed silver or black, both with a soft satin look that hides fingerprints better than a polished surface.

Every piece is sold as a single handle or knob. Matching screws are included, and they fix from the back of the door or drawer front, so no screw heads show on the face.

Styles and sizes

There are several styles to choose from. Bar pulls, curved bars and a T bar come in a range of center to center measurements, which is the distance between the two screw holes. The round knob has a 15/16 in top and stands 3/4 in high.

How to choose a size

Start by measuring the distance between the centers of the two holes already on your cabinet door or drawer. That number is the center to center measurement, and it is the one that matters most. If you are drilling new holes, pick the length that fits the width of the door or drawer. A small drawer often suits a 3-3/4 in pull or the round knob. A wide drawer or a tall cabinet door can take a 5-1/16 in or longer pull. The T bar at 2 in long works well on small drawers and cupboards. Curved bars give a little more finger room behind the pull, which helps on heavier doors.

Fitting

Each handle or knob fixes with two screws from the back. Line the piece up with the holes, push the screws through from the inside of the door or drawer, and tighten them into the handle. Matching screws come with every piece, so you do not need to source your own. A screwdriver is all you need. If you are replacing old hardware, check that the new center to center measurement matches the old one before you order.

Care

Wipe the handle or knob with a dry cloth. That is enough to keep the brushed finish clean and free of dust. Avoid wet cloths and harsh cleaners, which can dull the satin surface over time.

Mixing styles

Because every piece is sold on its own, you can order exactly what you need for a project. A common approach is a round knob on upper cabinet doors and a bar pull on lower drawers, or the same bar pull in two lengths across a whole kitchen. Brushed silver and black can also be mixed, with black on the lower cabinets and brushed silver on the upper ones, or the other way around. Order one extra piece for a spare, since a single handle is easy to store and handy to have on hand.
