When to Choose a Knob or Handle for Doors?

Choosing the right hardware for doors and drawers affects both functionality and style. While personal preference plays a role, some general guidelines can help you decide when to use knobs or handles in your space.

Knobs vs. Handles: The General Rule

Knobs are commonly used for smaller cabinet doors and drawers, offering a simple and timeless look. Handles provide a more secure grip, making them ideal for larger doors and heavy drawers where ease of use is important.

When to Use Timber Handles

For a seamless and modern design, timber handles like the OK.1 and OK.3 ranges offer a natural, sophisticated touch.

  • Drawers: The OK.1 handle is well-suited for drawers, ensuring a comfortable grip and easy access.

  • Hinged Doors: For small hinged doors, the OK.1 handle can be installed vertically in the smallest size (128mm) for a streamlined look.

  • Alternative Option: The OK.3 handle complements the OK.1 range, providing another option for a cohesive design.

Benefits of Timber Handles

Timber handles add warmth and texture to interiors, making them ideal for contemporary and natural-themed spaces. They provide durability, a comfortable feel, and a refined finish that blends seamlessly with cabinetry and doors.
