Hi do any of you have the pull tab type handles? If so would you be able to post a picture of how they look?

Make sure you get the ones that fix to the back for the door or drawer Let them into the edge of the doors and drawers as it looks so much better and there is less chance of damaging the drawer above. Make sure they protrude out enough to actually use them properly(there are some very short ones) Cutting Edge Kitchens and Cabinet Making http://cuttingedgekitchens.net.au http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cutting-Edge-Kitchens/290484196676 Mobile : 0419 430 575 PH: 9452 4772 Fax :9452 4772 cuttingedgekitchens@outlook.com Re: Pull Tab style kitchen handles? 3Jan 28, 2015 12:18 pm CuttingEdgeKitchens I don't have any pics but here are a few tips if you use them.

If you don't mind me asking how did you use the storage? I can starting from the left a sink, a bank of drwawers, cupboards under the BBQ/Stove area another bank of drawers and a cupboard. Is the cupboard on the right for a minibar? On the subject of the handles how much would the lip protrude from the cabinetry itself and how do you find using them? TIA Re: Pull Tab style kitchen handles? 8Jan 28, 2015 10:02 pm Yes the last cupboard has a bar fridge in it. Mainly the drawers and cupboards are full of cups, plates, cutlery, bbq supplies, all the things you need to have a bbq and not have to take it out of the kitchen inside etc. As for the handles I think they protrude about 1-1.5 cm from the cabinets, they are pretty easy to use and it makes cleaning easier not having to avoid a more traditional handle Re: Pull Tab style kitchen handles? 9Jan 28, 2015 10:06 pm Pellana Yes the last cupboard has a bar fridge in it.

Did you also get a rangehood installed as well? When cooking does your alfresco area get smoky? Re: Pull Tab style kitchen handles? 10Jan 28, 2015 10:14 pm Yes we have a rangehood, unfortunately I don't seem to have a picture of the completed alfresco on this computer. We do get some smoke but it clears fairly quickly as the alfresco is fully open on 2 sides. I hope that helps. Re: Pull Tab style kitchen handles? 11Jan 29, 2015 6:21 am MrBee [what do you mean by 'et them into the edge of the doors and drawers'? im looking at these ones: [] You actually rebate the top edge of the drawer front/door by the thickness of the handle so it sits completely flush. If you don't do this you have to increase the gaps between your drawers from 2mm to 4mm and the chance of scratching/chipping your fronts is increased.

Biggest problem with the larger gap is the looks and if the drawer faces sag/settle at all. If they do sag the bottom of the drawer above will touch the handle. It can be easily adjusted.

All gaps should really be the same size.

CuttingEdgeKitchen, thanks for your feedback on this. I'll adding this in our PCI checklist to make sure all vertical and horizontal gaps must be equal and all handles must be aligned. Do they change whole door if handle isn't aligned? An extra hole would look awful.

CuttingEdgeKitchen, thanks for your feedback on this. I'll adding this in our PCI checklist to make sure all vertical and horizontal gaps must be equal and all handles must be aligned. Do they change whole door if handle isn't aligned? An extra hole would look awful. The handle should be recessed into the top edge so its completely flush with the top of the door or drawer. This allows all gaps to be equal. A quality job is always done like this. Unfortunately I don't like your chances in getting it changed/fixed. A lot of companies take the easy way out with these handles and will tell you its how they do them.
