Kitchen Pulls/Knobs - Best website?

Trying to find some good knobs and pulls. Any advice on where to look?

Also, if most of my drawers are 22"-39" what length pull will I need?

Hi,
A quick note about our experience: Brigitte and I consistently design between 70-90 kitchens/year (for over 34 years) and have designed thousands of kitchens.....We also design full structural including below-grade foundation plans.....We have 2 Chicagoland locations and a Michigan location which cover the Wisconsin to Indiana borders, N.W. Indiana and S.W. Michigan.....Anyway, We primarily use Amerock, Berenson and Top Knobs.....They seem to give our clients enough selections to find something they really like and their pricing is in line.....If you want to see some real interesting hardware (and beautiful castings) take a look at Notting Hill in Delavan WI.....Not necessarily your style but fun to look at.....One last thing, like Cynthia mentioned, don't use the first handle you pictured.....We refer to it as "the old pocket ripper"!.....Hope this helps a bit.....John & Brigitte

What style is your cabinet? That makes all the difference. Also, what is the finish on your faucet? If you go metal, match that finish.

Anyway, try www.myknobs.com

In Canada, I'd say Berenson, Lee Valley, and Richelieu would be good places to start. As for what size pull, do a full-size mock-up or draw a scale drawing so you can see the effect and what you prefer. Don't feel like you have to have a pull on every drawer--you can use pairs of knobs instead. Study the kitchens on houzz for ideas :)

You don't have to match your faucet. However, the finish should make sense. For instance, I am finishing a kitchen for a client now that has chrome faucet and oil rubbed bronze knobs and pulls, the latter relating to the ORB door handles and some light fixtures we've installed. The chrome faucet relates to the appliances and the sink and makes a nice contrast to the rest.

I really like the style of the pull pictured above. Problem is, that one is too small. I can't seem to find a similar style in a wider/longer format.

This is my inspiration kitchen. I had my kitchen GC replicate this hood with a few revisions.

I would never use a pull like the one you have pictured because I would always be catching my clothes on it, especially pockets if the handles are at hip level! For that reason I always look for a pull that smoothly returns to the drawer front at both sides. In your inspiration kitchen, the pulls are not a dominant feature. Look for something subtle and simple that will feel good in your hand but not draw a lot of attention to itself.

I never thought about the pulls not having a return on the sides. Good point!

We narrowed our hardware choices down to a few favorite styles, brought home samples, and threw a hardware party with friends (once the rest of the kitchen was finished) for everyone to vote on their favorite.

Found a very similar pull in a 3" center to center:

Also Top Knobs has a similar pull in a 5" center to center in pewter that would look great:

I have pulls that look like miniature anvils. They constantly catch in an inverted pleat on a pair of shorts I wear. Drives me nuts. Threw away the pants, love the cabinet pulls.

www.knobdepot.com is my go to site.

To achieve that simple elegant historical look, consider railroad inspired hardware hooks, knobs and pulls for a real connection to the past.

I would avoid using knobs4less and myknobs.com for any purchases (they are actually the same company). Customer service is atrocious and they can't seem to get their story straight about product availability. My issue on a simple order has been going on for several weeks, and the story changes daily (i.e., they told me my order shipped when in fact it is on backorder).
