Cupboard door handles

Dukekamaya · Mar 09, 2008 10:18 pm

We have the headache of choosing cupboard door handles for our kitchen - the worst thing is there is nowhere much here to look apart from the big green and red shed and they don't have that great a selecton. There was one we liked but didn't seem to be available in brushed/ satin chrome.
I've looked at a few catalogues online but nothing jumps out.

I don't know what anyone could suggest - just venting :th:

Just been browsing both the Ikea and Hafele websites and they seemed to have a nice assortment of handles. Will be taking a closer look at their ranges when we get closer to that time as not really fussed on the builder's specs.

If you want to look at some handles on line try:

www.nover.com.au

www.wilbrad.com.au

And a particularly interesting online shop is: http://www.bluewolf.net.au/zencart/inde ... page=index

I have done business with BlueWolf recently and they are very easy to deal with.

Cheers,

I had a look at Nover - nothing much there, thanks I'll check the others out

I was in China a couple of years ago and went to a large 'hardware' store.
There was an aisle about 10m long, just dedicated to cupboard handles. Couldn't believe my eyes. Was a case of too much choice. There were also 1.5 aisles dedicated to door handles, and so on.

Architects specify Madinoz a lot. You could try them.

Luke….go to a couple of kitchen makers and suppliers.
They usually have most of what is in style and can get anything else for you.

Try Ocean Kitchens out South Nowra.
Or……New Image Kitchens.

I guess the hard thing is that I'm building a rustic/country kitchen. So many of the handles are for modern/contempory swank kitchens.

What about the half moon shape in the black metal?

The ones you slip your fingers under to open.

Don't know if they would suit. I really need to match the Zincalume finish of the Mini-Corry

Now that’s better …..Why didn’t you do that to start with!

Looking at the photo, I don’t why you wouldn’t just go with the plane C handle in a brushed stainless??????

I think it will look good. You need to keep it simple.

I just bought 21 for a client out at the big shed you were talking about, that’s all you need.

IMO…….

I think that was always our 'safety' handle - it might be better to play it safe

Michelle · Mar 10, 2008 9:08 pm

Go buy one….put it on and see what you think.

I think it will look the best for you.

Maybe I should do it all in the same lilac melamine as the drawer fronts in the photo :lol:

Michelle · Mar 10, 2008 9:23 pm

Ohhhh that’s a joke :shock:

……I hope!
