Ultimate Guide for Wardrobe Handle Selection

A wardrobe is high functional furniture in your home, one needs to be sure to think about the practice with repeated use of opening and closing doors and drawers of the wardrobe. A typical wardrobe has 3 different types of handles. One set for main doors, another type of handles for the drawers, and 3rd one for the loft if planned. All 3 handles can or can not be the same depending upon uses and frequency of use. When deciding on a handle make sure to choose the right grip and size. For the wardrobe doors, there are a few points to consider with choosing the right handles.

1: Functionality

The most important aspect is to know the type of wardrobe and door functions. The swing door will need a completely different action to open the door in comparison to the sliding door. A folding door may need only a single handle to open two doors, hence knowing the type of door function is the first and most important aspect of the whole journey.

2: Size

Size matter the most in the selection of wardrobe handles. For the main door user should always select a handle with a good grip. Normally long handle gives a good grip to all age and height users. So the front door looks more beautiful and functional with long handles but at the same time, internal drawers need minimal handles, knobs, or even push to open function can be considered. The matching style of the handle of the main door will require for the loft but obviously in small height. The selection of the main handle can be varied as per the choice of the user.

3: Style and Finish

Users may need to think about what overall style and feel they would like to achieve in their wardrobe. Modern/contemporary/antique/traditional or transitional each style will need a different style of handle and they are easily available in the market. The finish of the handle makes a lot of difference, it won't look good if someone tries a chrome shining handle on an antique style of the wardrobe, and at the same time and rustic style ornamental handle will not go with your ultra-modern acrylic or glass door wardrobe.

4: Quality

Last but not the least, quality plays a very important role when choosing a handle, as they come in all types of durable materials. Users need to be sure to choose the right product for their needs with quality and design in mind. Always go for the handles which feel comfortable, look stylish, and be user-friendly.
