Need help with drawer pulls!
I am remodeling a 1930s home and need to select drawer pulls for the kitchen. I really love the Restoration Hardware Aubrey pull (first photo below). I love the character of it, that it looks classic but not expected. However I do not like the idea of having four holes drilled per pull. I'm concerned that someday when I'm ready to refresh the look of the kitchen and I want to change the pulls, I will have a problem because the likelihood I will find replacements pulls needing four holes is slim to none. So I've been hunting high and low for a very similar pull with the normal two holes. The problem is everything else I see has less "presence" on the plates - the end plates of everything else I'm seeing are punier. Also on the Aubrey I like 90(ish) degree curvature of the handle. The others I see have a much less squared off curve. I'm finding lots of stuff that looks like the second photo, which bores me to tears. Does anyone out there know of a polished nickel or polished chrome pull that looks very similar to Aubrey but with two holes? I know I'm being particular, but the devil is in the details :). Thanks!

7 år sidenI have found a couple that might serve your needs. You will have to compromise a bit, but here they are:
This is very reasonably priced, although with chrome, you might have finish problems down the road. However, this is close to the shape you seek, but with a raised base for a 2 screw application.Amerock Allison 170CH Pull, Polished Chrome, 3" · Mere informationFlo Mangan

Forfatter7 år sidenFlo thank you for all the suggestions - lol I like the last one the best. So the one you like least I like best :). It IS a little modern looking but it's the closest to the RH pull - the squarish design is much more appealing to me than the more rounded. It's funny - as I'm looking at all these I'm realizing that I think one of the other reasons I like the RH is that I like the exposed screws. Maybe because it's just a hair industrial looking or something. At any rate thank you so much - if you see more that you think might work please share, and in the meantime I'll check out the last one.

7 år sidenMy reason for my choice was because of what I thought you wanted! lol. There are good options. You might want to go to a local architectural antique supply place. I'll bet you could get close to what you want. Alternatively you could do a mix of pulls! Just depends on what overall look you are going for.JudyG Designs

This site has a huge selection and it appears they might have a few to your liking. Personally, I like the Aubrey pull. Don't worry so much about "in the future", if you love them buy them.

7 år sidenSidst ændret: {last_modified_time}7 år sidenDefinitely go with your gut that tells you NOT to use the four screws - because you are right - it limits future change (unless you use a "fill" or a pull that covers the holes).

7 år sidenJust for info, chrome requires a fair amount of maintenance simply because little marks from water and hand prints collect and show. I am not saying don't do the chrome, but do know that brushed nickel is more forgiving in this regard. Hands in the kitchen inevitably are wet and sometimes greasy etc., so put that into your decision-making hopper!

Forfatter7 år sidenFlo is the same true for the polished nickle? I've never had nickle. I really want something polished vs brushed.

Forfatter7 år siden@ycity would you be willing to post a picture of the pulls that @Joy posted so I can see them? It's so hard to tell from a catalog what things will look like in real life. I like those the best so far but ouch - that price! Thank you @joy for the suggestion!
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone else who had contributed so far - it is very generous of you to help and I see several options that are worth pursuing!

SKU is Z622-3-AB. Type it into the search area of the last post that I made. Iron would be the one remotely close to what you want.lwfromny thanked JoyKnockout Knobs
