Cabinet Handles

Q: What size are standard pulls?

Generally, the standard pull size ranges from 76 mm to 101 mm in New Zealand. However, this also depends on the type of pull. Bar pulls are known for being longer, ranging between 127 mm to 165 mm. However, you can decide the size of the pull handle based on your preference.

Q: How long should handles be on cabinets?

In New Zealand, experts agree that the best look is when your handles’ size is a third of the cabinet door height. For drawers, the ideal size is a third of the drawer width. As such, all your handles don’t need to be the same length, but they should feature the same design.

Q: Should my cabinet handles match my faucets?

No, it’s not required, as it's a different product featuring other designs. Often, you’ll find that your handle type isn’t available in faucets. However, it will create a cohesive look if you match the handle design and faucets across the kitchen and bathroom cabinetry.

Types of cabinet handles

Multiple handle types are available in New Zealand giving you some great options to update your existing cabinets.

Knobs

Cabinet knobs offer a rounded handle you can easily curl your hand around. They come in a variety of styles and materials.

Cup pull

This pull handle features a cupped design that allows you to curl your fingers under the handle when opening the cabinet. It gives a more vintage look.

Bar pull

Sleek and modern, the bar pull handle is a straight bar that you can mount on a cabinet in a horizontal or vertical position.

Bow pull

A common type, this handle features a bow where the two ends of the handle are mounted on the surface, leaving a spacious gripping area.

Edge pull

An inconspicuous design featuring a flat handle mounted on the cabinet’s edge to provide a pull ledge. It’s perfect for a minimalistic and contemporary look.

Drop pull

This handle is hinged and swings up when you pull on it to open a cabinet. You often use it to create a more ornate look. Any of these items can serve as drawer pulls for any type of drawer.

The advantages of high-quality cabinet handles

High-quality cabinet handles give various advantages which make them worth prioritising for the cabinets in your home. The first is that they are typically made with higher-grade materials and finishes enabling them to withstand the rigour of daily use. It’s easy to underestimate this element until you think about just how regularly you use your cupboard handles. Higher quality options are also more stylishly designed, reflecting the latest trends of the modern home. This allows you to personalise the aesthetic of your space with some also choosing to coordinate their choice with other features like their door knobs. There is also a greater range of unique choices increasing the scope and possibilities of your interior design.

How to choose a cabinet handle that’s right for you

Before you choose your cabinet handles, there are some elements to consider to buy the right one. The general aesthetic of your interior and space can mean a lot when choosing between cabinet knobs and pulls. The handle's size should compare to the surface it’ll be mounted on and the space you have to move around it. With limited space, smaller or minimalistic handles might be better. Also, consider whether you want a modern or more vintage look again thinking about the context of your interior design. You might prefer a brass cabinet handle rather than a wooden cabinet handle which looks older. The practical feel of the cabinet handle should also be thought about as it should be comfortable to use on a regular basis, otherwise, it will become a source of irritation.

Where should handles be placed on cabinets?

It depends on the handle type you’re using. Generally, you place cabinet knobs opposite the hinge in the corner of the cabinet door. Bar pulls are often placed opposite the hinge at the side of the door, centred to the middle of the cabinet door.
