Black Nickel Cabinet Pulls

Black nickel cabinet pulls: dark with a metallic read

Black nickel is a dark, slightly smoky finish with a metallic sheen underneath - closer to a blackened metal than to a painted black. Where matte black is flat and graphic, black nickel keeps some depth and reflects a little light along an edge, which is why it reads as a metal on the door rather than a silhouette. Every pull on this page is tagged contemporary, and the finish suits that language.

Who makes the black nickel pulls here

Berenson supplies most of this page, with Jeffrey Alexander behind it. The shapes are standard cabinet pulls plus a small set of appliance pulls, in the clean bar and shaped-bar profiles that contemporary kitchens use. This is a narrower page than a class-level finish page, which is useful: what is here is genuinely black nickel rather than a family of near-neighbours.

Drill centers and sizing

Centers run 3-3/4 inch (96 mm), 5-1/16 inch (128 mm), 6-5/16 inch (160 mm), 8-13/16 inch (224 mm), 12 inch (305 mm) and 12-5/8 inch (320 mm). The metric spacings matter here because several of these lines are specified in millimetres rather than inches. Measure center to center between your existing screw holes and match the number; on new fronts, a pull around a third of the drawer width is a sound starting proportion.

Black nickel against matte black and gunmetal

Matte black is flat and absorbs light; gunmetal is a blue-gray with sheen; black nickel sits closest to black but keeps a metallic surface. Against white and pale gray cabinetry all three give contrast, and black nickel is the one that still looks like metal up close. It also sits more comfortably next to stainless appliances than a flat black does, because both surfaces reflect a little light instead of one absorbing all of it. Black nickel pulls in industrial kitchens and black nickel knobs for modern kitchens show both halves of a set.
