Edge Pulls

Upgrade your doors and cabinetry with sleek, functional edge pulls that deliver a clean, contemporary look without compromising on usability. Edge pulls are a popular choice for modern homes, multi-residential projects and commercial fitouts throughout Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide. Whether you are fitting out sliding doors, cavity sliders, wardrobes or bespoke joinery, John Barnes Group offers a curated range of architectural edge pulls from trusted brands such as Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, so you can buy edge pulls online with confidence.

What Are Edge Pulls and Where Are They Used?

Edge pulls are discreet door and drawer pulls that are recessed or mounted on the edge of a door or panel, allowing you to pull it open without a traditional protruding handle. They are ideal for sliding doors, cavity sliders, pocket doors and minimalist cabinetry where a flush, streamlined finish is essential. In residential settings, edge pulls are commonly used on internal sliding doors, wardrobe doors and kitchen or bathroom joinery. In commercial spaces, they are perfect for meeting rooms, office partitions and service areas where clean lines and easy access are equally important.

Because edge pulls sit neatly within the door edge or panel, they help reduce visual clutter and create a premium architectural finish. This makes them a go-to choice for designers, builders, architects and homeowners looking for modern, contemporary door hardware solutions that look as good as they perform.

Edge Pulls for Residential and Commercial Projects

Whether you are working on a high-end residential renovation in Brisbane, a new build in regional Queensland, or a commercial fitout in New South Wales, the right edge pulls make a noticeable difference to both aesthetics and day-to-day usability. For residential spaces, edge pulls are an excellent option for:

• Sleek cavity sliders between living areas
• Wardrobe and linen doors in bedrooms and hallways
• Minimalist kitchen or butler’s pantry doors
• Concealed bathroom or powder room entries

In commercial environments, edge pulls are frequently specified for:

• Boardroom and meeting room sliders
• Office partition doors and operable walls
• Service, storage and utility doorways
• Staff amenities and break-out areas

Our range is selected to suit the demands of both residential and commercial applications, with robust construction and finishes designed to stand up to regular use in busy environments across Australia.

Finishes and Styles to Suit Any Interior

Edge pulls may be discreet, but they still play an important role in your overall design scheme. At John Barnes Group, you can buy edge pulls online in a range of finishes and profiles to seamlessly match your existing architectural door hardware. Popular finishes include matte black for a bold contemporary statement, classic stainless steel for durability and a timeless look, and warm brass tones for more traditional or luxe interiors. Depending on the brand and model, you may also find options in brushed nickel, gunmetal and other designer finishes.

From square, geometric edge pulls that suit modern architectural spaces to softer, rounded profiles that complement more traditional interiors, there are options to match almost any design direction. Many of our edge pulls pair perfectly with matching levers, knobs and accessories from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda, helping you create a cohesive look across front doors, internal doors and cabinetry throughout the whole project.

Choosing the Right Edge Pull for Your Door or Panel

Selecting the correct edge pull starts with understanding the type of door or panel you are working with. Sliding and cavity doors often require recessed edge pulls designed to be morticed into the door edge, so the door can fully retract into the cavity without obstruction. For lightweight cupboards or wardrobe doors, surface-mounted edge pulls or smaller recessed options may be suitable.

Key considerations when choosing edge pulls include:

• Door type – sliding, cavity, pocket, wardrobe or cabinet
• Door thickness – to ensure the edge pull will fit correctly
• Required function – simple pull only, or pull plus privacy/lock function when paired with other hardware
• Aesthetic – finish and profile to match surrounding hardware and fixtures

If you are working on a larger project across Queensland or New South Wales, you may want to standardise on a particular style or brand for consistency. Our team can help you match edge pulls to existing ranges from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood or Zanda so your architectural door hardware feels intentionally curated from front door to back.

John Barnes Group focuses on proven brands that combine quality manufacturing with strong design. Barben offers beautifully detailed architectural edge pulls that suit high-end residential and commercial interiors, often with premium finishes and minimalist styling. Dormakaba provides robust solutions ideal for commercial and access-focused environments, pairing seamlessly with their broader door control and hardware portfolio.

Lockwood is a long-standing favourite in Australia, known for reliable, everyday hardware that performs in a wide range of applications, from apartments and homes to light commercial.

By offering options from these key brands, John Barnes Group helps you specify edge pulls that are not only visually appealing but backed by reputable manufacturers.

Architectural Door Hardware That Works Together

Edge pulls are just one element of a complete architectural door hardware package. When planning your project, it is important to consider how your edge pulls, levers, locks, hinges, door closers and accessories will work together across the whole building. A matte black edge pull on a cavity slider can be matched with black door levers, flush pulls and door stops in the same space to maintain a cohesive look. Likewise, stainless steel or satin chrome edge pulls will sit comfortably alongside Lockwood or Dormakaba hardware in similar finishes.

For multi-residential and commercial projects across Brisbane, Queensland and New South Wales, consistent hardware choices help create a professional, well-resolved result. Purchasing your edge pulls and associated hardware from one trusted supplier also simplifies ordering, scheduling and future maintenance, especially for projects that need to roll out Australia-wide.

Installation and Maintenance Overview

Installation requirements for edge pulls vary depending on the door type and product design. Recessed edge pulls generally need to be morticed into the edge of the door, which may be carried out by a skilled tradesperson, carpenter or door manufacturer. Surface-mounted options are usually simpler to install, often requiring only basic tools and fixings. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and, for more complex doors or commercial projects, consider engaging a qualified installer to ensure a neat finish and reliable operation.

Maintenance is typically minimal. Regularly wipe your edge pulls with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove fingerprints, dust and grime, especially on high-touch doors in busy areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage decorative finishes like matte black or brass. Proper care helps your edge pulls maintain their appearance and function over the long term, whether they are installed in a family home in Brisbane or a high-traffic commercial environment elsewhere in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are edge pulls used for?

Edge pulls are used on the edges of doors and panels to provide a discreet grip for opening and closing. They are commonly fitted to sliding doors, cavity sliders, pocket doors, wardrobes and minimalistic cabinetry where a flush, architectural look is desired.

Can edge pulls be used on cavity sliding doors?

Yes. Many edge pulls are specifically designed for cavity sliding doors and pocket doors. These recessed designs sit within the door edge so the door can fully retract into the cavity without clashing with the frame, making them ideal for internal room dividers and compact spaces.

What finishes are available for edge pulls?

Edge pulls are available in a wide range of finishes, including matte black, stainless steel, satin chrome, brass and other designer metallic tones. This makes it easy to match your edge pulls with levers, hinges and other architectural door hardware throughout your project.

Are edge pulls suitable for both residential and commercial projects?

Absolutely. Edge pulls are suitable for residential homes, apartments, offices, hospitality venues and many other commercial spaces. When selecting products for commercial use, choose durable models from reputable brands like Dormakaba, Lockwood, Barben or Zanda to ensure long-term performance.

Do edge pulls work with locking or privacy functions?

Edge pulls themselves typically provide the pulling action only, but they can be combined with suitable locks or privacy sets on sliding and cavity doors. Depending on your door thickness and hardware selection, you can achieve both a neat edge pull and the locking function you require, especially for bathrooms, ensuites and private offices.

How do I choose the right size edge pull?

The right size depends on your door thickness, door height and how prominent you want the pull to appear. Larger doors and heavier sliders may benefit from longer edge pulls for a more comfortable grip, while smaller cabinet doors suit compact designs. Check the product dimensions and ensure they are compatible with your door construction before ordering.

Can I install edge pulls myself?

Surface-mounted edge pulls on cabinet doors may be suitable for confident DIYers with basic tools. However, recessed edge pulls for cavity sliders and other internal doors often require precise morticing for a professional finish. For these installations, it is recommended to use a qualified carpenter, builder or door hardware installer.
