FAQs

Are stainless steel cabinet handles good? ›

They're popular for a reason—stainless steel is corrosion-proof, easy to polish to look as good as new, and offers a neutral addition to design. If your instinct is to choose stainless steel cabinet hardware to “go” with your stainless steel appliances, it certainly won't look bad.

What usually looks best is a pull length that is about 1/3 the height of the cabinet door and 1/3 the width of the cabinet drawer. Your eyes follow the length of the pull up the height of the door or across the width of the drawer. Pulls don't have to all be the same length as long as the pull design is the same.

The Center-to-Center of any drawer pull is the distance between the center of one screw hole to the center of the other. Measuring the center-to-center of the drawer pull is key in determining what new drawer pulls and knobs will fit and whether you'll need to drill new mounting holes or fit into existing ones.

An oversized cabinet door or drawer needs a large piece of hardware for proper functionality. A smaller sized knob or pull is appropriate for a smaller door or drawer. A good rule of thumb for traditional or transitional style pulls is that they should be about one-third of the length of the cabinet drawer.

Dark kitchen cabinets – in colors like black, gray, and blue or dark wood finishes in cherry, sable, or chocolate look good with many of today's popular cabinet hardware colors. Homeowners can choose from stainless steel, brushed nickel, gold, black or oiled bronze.

In 2023, the five trends we expect to see include, timber, extra-long, matt black, unique, and extrusion handles. Each one has the power to transform your kitchen from a generic look to a more refined space.

If you're looking for an affordable option that is easy to install and use, cabinet knobs might be the way to go. However, if you want hardware that is easier to clean and less likely to get in the way, cabinet pulls might be a better choice. Ultimately, the decision is up to you and what will work best for your space.

For standard size cabinetry (dimensions of 12″ – 36″) the most common pull sizes are 3”, 4”, 96mm, and 128mm center to center (from one screw hole to another). Standard knob sizes are 1 1/4″ or 1 3/8″.

Some of the most common pull sizes on the market are 5-inch hole spacing and 7-1/2 inch hole spacing. Depending on their design, these pulls typically fall into the "medium" size range of pull.

For paneled drawers, the most aesthetic choice is typically to center the hardware within the panel. However, some prefer to install their hardware within the top rail where it is somewhat easier to reach and pull. This mounting location is recommended for heavy vertical pullouts like trash cans and appliances.

What size pulls for 30 inch drawers? ›

Small Drawers that are 12” or less typically work best with a pull that is 3” to 4” long or a knob that is 1” in diameter. Large Drawers that are 30” to 48"will require a pull that is longer than 8" or a knob that is 1" in diameter or greater. Using two pulls or knobs for a large drawer also works great.

The hottest trend in kitchen cabinet hardware right now is still gold! It can be anything from brushed golden brass to champagne bronze to rose gold. Gold hardware can add that simple touch of luxury to make any kitchen looks fabulous!

Are Shaker cabinets going out of style 2023? ›

SHAKER-STYLE CABINET DOORS

A well-loved, class option, Shaker-style cabinets will remain a top kitchen design trend in 2023. Shaker-style cabinet doors are known for their recessed center panel and clean lines. These doors are so versatile they work with various design styles, from traditional to modern.

The cabinet hardware finish should coordinate with the cabinet color. White cabinets look great with just about any hardware finish, but light- and dark-colored cabinets should be paired with hardware finishes that make the pulls—and hinges if they're visible—pop.

A few hardware colors that look best on white shaker cabinets is black, gold, silver, and brass.

Pulls are slender pieces of cabinet hardware that allow for better handling. These features are more prominent than knobs, and thus, they're more expensive despite being made in various sizes.

Pulls 3-7 inches in length will sit the most comfortably on doors less than 24 inches tall. Cabinet doors 24-36 inches tall are best adorned with pulls 7-12 inches long, while cabinets taller than 36 inches such as pantries, built-in appliances and pullouts should be accompanied by pulls longer than 12 inches.

To accurately measure existing fixing centers, open your kitchen door or drawer and measure the distance between the center of each screw. This measurement should be used when specifying your new handles.

When it comes to installing cabinet door handles (either knobs or pulls), they are always placed on the opposite side from the door hinges. You'll specifically want to place them anywhere between 1'' and 4'' from the top or bottom edge of the door.

Sleek Modern Pulls. Slim and sleek pulls are still the most popular cabinet hardware style. Modern bar pulls, whether tubular or square are top sellers, and for good reason. They look great on most cabinets, come in many finishes, and are a flexible design choice.

Standard base and wall cabinets are usually between 12 and 36 inches. If this is the case, it's typical to use 3- or 4-inch pull handles. If your cabinets are larger than standard, you'll need larger pulls. Look for ones that run between 6 and 12 inches.

Drawers can be built almost any width for bottom mount, but the most common size is 3/4-inch smaller on both sides than the cabinet opening. For example, if the opening is 12 inches wide, the drawer should be built 10 1/2 inches wide.

Should I use a drawer knob or pull handle? ›

There are no strict rules to follow when choosing whether to select a knob or a pull or both. One preference is to use knobs for all doors and pulls for all drawers. For any large door such as a pantry and any pull-out door (including pull-out base pantries or trash pull-outs), use a pull.

For really wide drawers, we always recommend using two cup pulls, and then evenly space them. As a general rule of thumb, if your drawer is 30″ or wider, I like to use two cup pulls. Lastly, if you have tall drawers, you can either center them in the overall drawer, or install them on the top rail.

Take careful measurements of your face frame opening, then determine the perimeter gap that you feel would look appropriate. I use a gap size of between 1/16” for small drawers to 3/32” for larger dresser-sized drawers.

Polished Nickel (top lever) has a warmer, yellowy tone, often likened to traditional sterling silver, whilst Polished Chrome (bottom lever) has a cooler, blueish shine. Therefore, Polished Nickel tends to work best in classic, period properties and Polished Chrome looks great in more contemporary settings.

Most high-end hardware is made from brass. This quality material provides an excellent base for finishing. Finishes over brass are much more durable than finishes over zinc and they commonly look better too.

Stylish, yet highly durable, stainless steel kitchen cabinet hardware not only resists corrosion, but is tarnish and scratch resistant as well. Made from a solid metal alloy composed of chromium and/or nickel, stainless steel hardware is most notorious for its ease of care, and often, sleek contemporary feel.

Traditional. Surface-mounted hardware and pieces with more ornate embellishments and finishes are best for traditional kitchen cabinets. Find knobs, pulls, and hinges made with brass, bronze, or copper in polished, satin, antique, or rusticated finishes.

Best timeless finish – Brass

Whether it is satin brass, polished brass or antique brass, brass is fashionable in all finishes. Brass kitchen handles will add warmth to spaces and will suit both dark and light kitchen cabinets.

Zinc is cheaper than chromium, and therefore, in general, zinc alloys are relatively less expensive than compared to stainless steel. Though more expensive, stainless steel is a strong, tough material noted for its corrosion resistance. Though some Zinc alloys can be very strong, overall stainless steel is stronger.

What are the disadvantages of steel cabinets? ›

If overused, stainless steel can make your area look like a hardened commercial kitchen, not a welcoming place for friends and family. Stainless steel is also susceptible to scratching, fingerprints, and smudges.

If you have warm tones, go with gold, black, or bronze hardware. If you have a cold grey tone, then silver, pewter, black, and stainless steel hardware will work. Take note of lighting, appliances, and other metal accents in the room and stick to the same tone.

Con: Weight

They are denser and heavier than most other materials, so they usually weigh more. If weight is a concern, you may want to choose a handle made of a different material.
