What are the different types of Tradco Cabinet Handles?
You’ll notice that there are a wide range of shapes and styles amongst our Tradco Cabinet Handles. We have options for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, dressing tables, desks and bedside tables.
Drawer Pulls, also known as cup pulls, are a popular option for drawers. They have a crescent or half-circle shape which makes it easy to grip and pull the drawer open. Usually these are installed centred on the front of the drawer, however for very wide drawers you might want to install two. They are used commonly in traditional, country and Hamptons style kitchens, and can add a huge amount of personality and style to your kitchen. The vintage charm of cup pulls make them a popular choice for DIYers, making over a bedside table or desk with drawers. The Tradco collection of drawer pull handles are available in a range of finishes, such as matte black, antique brass, polished brass and chrome.
Kitchen & Cabinet Pull Handles, also referred to as cabinet pulls or bar pulls, are usually a long shape with a rod or bar, with a backplate at each end that is screwed into the surface of your cabinet. They can be installed vertically on cupboard doors, or horizontally on drawers. Tradco’s pull handles come in a variety of sizes, suitable for different sized kitchens and cabinets. For brand new cabinets, recommend checking with your cabinet maker as they can suggest the most suitable size. If you have existing screw holes, you can filter by centre-to-centre, which is the measurement between the screws on the handle. You’re also welcome to contact us if you need to check the centre-to-centre measurement on any of the Tradco handles.
The Tradco range of Dresser handles are more ornate, designed as replicas for those that were used on traditional dressing tables and chests of drawers. These are usually a drop handle style, rather than a fixed handle, which means there is a backplate attached to the dresser, and then the handle is attached by two pins and hangs down. The dresser handles are designed to suit a number of architectural styles, such as Art Nouveu, Edwardian and Victorian.
Tradco’s range includes some other cabinet handles which are designed to be replicas of the original styles from Edwardian and Victorian periods. Tear Drop Handles are another style of traditional cabinet handle, most commonly used on old fashioned style dressers. They feature a round backplate with a tear drop shaped handle that hangs down. Furniture ring pulls include flush ring pulls, iron ring pulls and ornate ring pulls in polished brass and antique copper. Pedestal Handles have a long backplate and a ring shaped handle, often with a keyhole for cabinets that need locking.
If you need to lock your cupboard, dresser or cabinet, we recommend you view our cabinet locks & latches, which include kitchen dresser latches, drawer/till locks and ice box catches. The Tradco Cabinet Fittings range also includes furniture hinges, perfect for kitchen cabinets and other cupboards, locks and latches and castor wheels for raising furniture. These all come in a range of finishes to match your cabinet handles.
Which Tradco Cabinet Handles are best for a kitchen?
You may want to select a mixture of kitchen handles, such as pull handles and knobs, for your kitchen – we recommend browsing our Tradco Cabinet Knobs, which are very popular on cupboard doors. Some cabinetmakers suggest using knobs for upper cabinets and pulls for lower cabinets.
Our cabinet knobs are available in the same finishes as the rest of our cabinet handles, which means you can mix and match shapes and types of handles, while keeping everything coordinated in the same finish and colour.
The exact type of handle you choose will depend on the style and design aesthetic of your kitchen. For Hamptons, Country and Provincial style kitchens, we recommend choosing the half moon shaped drawer pull handles for your drawers, and matching knobs for your cabinets. In a more modern, contemporary kitchen, you might want to choose sleeker bar pull handles throughout your kitchen, popular in colours like chrome, satin chrome, polished nickel and satin nickel.
To really bring a sense of cohesion into your home, we recommend selecting matching Tradco products for other areas of your home – such as Tradco Door Handles, and Tradco Light Switches.
