Kitchen Handles

Learn more about kitchen handles

Kitchen handles are a small part of the fit, but they make a difference to how the kitchen works day to day. 

They are essential for framing cabinet aesthetics and delivering smooth daily operation, high-quality hardware upgrades both residential kitchen refits and commercial refurbishments. Whether you need classic cup handles for shaker-style doors, sleek T-bar handles for contemporary designs, or industrial knurled bars, Travis Perkins stocks trade-trusted hardware engineered for durability.

Typical uses

• Shaker & traditional kitchens: Fitting vintage cup handles, antique brass knobs, and pewter pull handles to traditional framed cabinet doors.

• Modern & contemporary designs: Installing long-line bar handles, knurled T-bars, or edge pulls across flat-slab cabinet fronts.

• Integrated appliance fascias: Utilising heavy-duty, long-centre pull handles to ensure sufficient leverage on integrated dishwasher and fridge-freezer doors.

How to choose the right kitchen handles

• Fixing centres, measure the distance between screw holes on existing hardware so replacements line up.

• Screw size and length, confirm they suit the thickness of the door or drawer front.

• Projection, check the handle stands far enough off the front for a comfortable grip.

• Grip and accessibility, bar handles and larger pulls are easier to use for daily tasks than small knobs.

On matching, a consistent handle across doors and drawers gives a clean result, and aligning kitchen handles with other door handles and hardware pulls the scheme together. A mixed approach, such as knobs on cupboards and bar handles on drawers, can work well where the layout calls for it.

Before you order

• Measure fixing centres accurately, especially where you plan to reuse existing holes.

• Check screw size and length against the door and drawer thickness.

• Confirm the finish and quantity across the whole kitchen, allowing for any spares.

• Check compatibility with soft close hardware and any unusual spacing on the cabinets.

• Note whether you're replacing like for like or drilling new holes, and set your tools accordingly.
