Frequently Asked Questions
What door and cabinet handle products does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries door handles including lever handle sets from Weiser, Taymor, and Nottingham in a range of styles and finishes, and cabinet and drawer pulls from Richelieu and Hickory Hardware covering contemporary bar pulls, cup pulls, bin pulls, and traditional knob styles.
What is the most popular cabinet handle style for contemporary kitchens?
Bar pulls — straight, cylindrical handles in matte black and brushed nickel — are the dominant contemporary kitchen hardware choice. Lengths from 96mm to 256mm and longer suit a range of drawer and door front sizes. For shaker-style cabinetry, both bar pulls and cup pulls (traditionally used on lower drawers) are popular choices.
What finish is most durable for cabinet handles in a kitchen?
Satin nickel and matte black are the most durable finish choices for kitchen cabinet hardware due to their resistance to showing fingerprints and minor scratches. Polished chrome and polished nickel show fingerprints more readily but clean easily. Antique and distressed finishes hide wear through their textured appearance. Avoid lacquered finishes in kitchen environments where grease and cleaning products accelerate finish wear.
What is the standard door lever height for accessibility?
For accessibility compliance, the British Columbia Building Code and most Canadian provincial codes specify door levers to be installed between 900mm and 1100mm (approximately 36 to 43 inches) above the finished floor. Lever-style handles meet accessibility requirements better than knobs, as they can be operated with a closed fist, elbow, or forearm when hands are full or mobility is limited.
Can I mix handle styles in the same kitchen?
Yes. A common and accepted approach is to use bar pulls on upper cabinet doors and drawer fronts, and cup pulls on lower base drawers — a detail rooted in traditional kitchen cabinet design. What matters is that the finish is consistent and the style contrast is intentional. Mixing multiple handle styles of the same finish within the same run of cabinetry reads as intentional layering; mixing finishes within the same space is more risky.
