Types of Cabinet Handles Available
Buy Bar Handles online
Bar handles are among the most popular choices in contemporary and commercial settings due to their minimalist profile and ease of use. They typically feature a straight cylindrical design and are available in various lengths and finishes, such as stainless steel, matte black, brushed nickel, and satin chrome. Bar handles from brands like BDS and Zanda are designed to withstand frequent use while maintaining their aesthetic integrity.
Buy Bow Handles online
Bow handles offer a softer curve compared to bar handles and suit both modern and traditional interiors. Their ergonomic form makes them easy to grasp, which is especially beneficial in environments requiring frequent access, such as office kitchenettes or residential pantries.
Buy Recessed Handles online
Ideal for high-traffic commercial applications and minimalist interiors, recessed cabinet handles sit flush with the cabinet surface, reducing the risk of snagging on clothing or bags. These are particularly popular in healthcare, hospitality, and education sectors, where safety and streamlined design are essential.
Buy Edge Pulls online
Edge pulls provide a subtle yet effective way to open cabinetry without the protrusion of traditional handles. These are often used in modern residential kitchens and high-end architectural projects where the visual continuity of cabinet surfaces is a priority. BDS and Zanda offer a range of edge pulls that complement premium cabinetry finishes.
Buy Knobs online
Knobs offer a compact and versatile option for cabinet access, suitable for both drawers and doors. They come in various shapes—round, square, or oval—and materials, including metal, ceramic, and glass. Knobs are often favoured in heritage renovations and residential bathrooms due to their compact footprint and decorative potential.

Compliance and Standards
While cabinet handles themselves are not typically subject to stringent compliance codes, their application may intersect with broader regulatory requirements. For example:
-
AS1428.1 Design for Access and Mobility: Where cabinet handles are installed in accessible areas, their height, clearance, and operability must comply with AS1428.1 standards to ensure usability by individuals with disabilities.
-
Fire Safety Compliance: In fire-rated joinery, it is important to ensure all hardware components, including handles, do not compromise the integrity of fire doors or access panels.
Our experienced team can assist in selecting compliant hardware solutions where necessary.
Selecting the Right Cabinet Handles
Residential vs Commercial
-
Residential: Consider the overall interior design, preferred finish, and ease of use. Decorative knobs or matte black bar handles may suit a contemporary home, while antique brass handles could complement a heritage-style renovation.
-
Commercial: Prioritise durability, ease of maintenance, and compliance. Recessed or edge pulls in stainless steel are ideal for commercial kitchens or office cabinetry.
Design and Ergonomics
Handles should not only look good but also feel comfortable to use. Consider the hand clearance, shape, and surface texture, especially for spaces used frequently.
Cabinet Material and Finish
The choice of cabinet handle should enhance the visual appeal of the cabinetry. For example, brushed nickel handles pair well with white or light wood finishes, while matte black creates striking contrast on dark or coloured cabinets.
