Cabinet Handle & Hardware Comparison

The same cabinetry can look completely different depending on the handle finish and size you choose. Here's how our stocked finishes and sizes compare.

Choosing Your Handle Finish

FinishBest ForPairs Well With
BlackA flush, minimal look on any cabinetry colourMatte cabinetry, industrial and contemporary styles
Brushed AnthraciteSubtle metallic texture without high shineDark cabinetry, industrial styles
Brushed SilverA warmer, softer metallic than chromeLight and mid-tone cabinetry, Scandinavian styles
Satin Chrome (Slim)A slim, modern bar profileContemporary handleless-style kitchens wanting a minimal accent
BN (Modern Slim)The same slim bar profile as Satin Chrome, in the Modern Slim lineContemporary handleless-style kitchens

Choosing Your Handle Size

SizeTypical Use
45mm PullDoors — a compact pull sized for a single-hand grip on a door front
190mm PullNarrower drawers, or a secondary grip point on wider drawers
380mm PullWide drawers, giving a secure grip across the full drawer front
Modern Slim (160/256/320mm)A slimmer bar profile with a choice of hole-centre spacing to suit drawer width

Every handle we stock is a pull/bar profile — mounted on the back of the door or drawer for a clean front face and a refined finish — rather than a surface-mounted knob. Door fronts use the shorter 45mm size; drawer fronts use the longer 190mm or 380mm sizes (or the Modern Slim line's spaced options) for a more secure grip across a wider front.

Hardware FAQ

What handle finishes do you stock?

Black, Brushed Anthracite, Brushed Silver, Satin Chrome, and BN (Modern Slim) — all in a pull/bar handle profile, available in door pull (45mm) and drawer pull (190mm/380mm) sizes, plus a slim Modern line (Satin Chrome and BN) with 160mm/256mm/320mm hole-centre spacing.

What size handle do I need for doors vs. drawers?

Our 45mm pull handles are sized for doors. Drawers use our longer 190mm or 380mm pull handles, which give a more secure grip across a wider drawer front.

Which handle finish suits a black or dark cabinetry front?

Black and Brushed Anthracite both read well against dark cabinetry fronts — Black gives a flush, minimal look, while Brushed Anthracite adds a subtle metallic texture.

Are handles fitted as part of the kitchen installation?

Yes — handles are supplied and fitted as part of your kitchen package, positioned consistently across your cabinetry for a cohesive finish, the same as every other element of the build.

Can I mix handle sizes within the same kitchen?

Yes — door pulls and drawer pulls are different lengths by design, so a single kitchen typically uses both sizes in the same finish for a consistent look.
