Materials and Finishes
Doing Goods handles are typically made from brass or iron, often featuring an antique or brushed finish. The brass is untreated and develops a natural patina over time, adding character to the handle. Some models combine metal with enamel or colored details, creating a lively look. The solid metal ensures the handles withstand daily use on kitchen doors, dressers, and wardrobes.
Sizes and Dimensions

- Widths typically range from 2.5 to 6 cm, while the depth (from cabinet front to outermost point) usually falls between 3 and 6 cm.
- Screw lengths are generally around 4-5 cm, fitting most standard doors and drawers.
- You can easily measure at home: measure the thickness of your cabinet front and compare it to the screw length to ensure a good fit.
