HANDLE

A cabinet handle is a hardware piece that is attached to a cabinet door or drawer, allowing it to be easily opened and closed. Although the term handle usually refers to a specific design, it is often used interchangeably with pulls and knobs. Typically, a handle is a bar or piece of material large enough to be grasped by multiple fingers. In contrast, pulls and knobs are smaller and require only one or two fingers to operate.

Choosing the right handles for cabinets is essential, as they not only affect the functionality of the cabinetry, but also contribute to the overall aesthetic of the space. Upgrading the handles can be an easy way to update the look of cabinets without undergoing a complete renovation. Handles are typically attached to the face of a cabinet door or drawer with a screw that passes through to the other side and is anchored in place, providing a secure grip for opening and closing.
