What is a Handle?

In the context of cabinetry, a handle is a piece of hardware that is attached to a cabinet door or drawer front to facilitate opening and closing. Handles are typically made of metal, such as stainless steel, brass, or aluminum, and come in a wide range of styles and finishes to match the design of the cabinet.

Handles are available in different shapes, including bar, arch, T, and cup-shaped handles. They can also be either surface-mounted or recessed into the door or drawer front. In addition to their functional purpose, handles can also add an aesthetic element to a cabinet, helping to create a cohesive and visually appealing design.

Handles are usually installed using screws, which are typically provided with the handle. The size of the screw will depend on the thickness of the cabinet door or drawer front, and the type of handle being used.
