Amerock Cabinet Hardware

Amerock cabinet hardware from an original U.S. maker

Amerock has been making cabinet hardware since 1928 and describes itself as the first decorative hardware company in the industry. The name was coined from "American" and "Rockford," the Illinois city where the business started; headquarters today is in Huntersville, North Carolina. Distribution runs unusually broad, big-box retail alongside the design channel, which is why Amerock is one of the few cabinet-hardware brands that consumers know by name. The catalogue reaches past knobs and pulls into hinges, catches, bath accessories and wall plates.

Explore Amerock by series

Amerock organises the catalogue into named collections, each carrying one look across knobs, pulls and appliance pulls, and in several cases matching bath accessories and wall plates.

• Everyday Heritage — the transitional farmhouse workhorse and the best-selling family on this page.
• Functional Hardware — hinges, magnetic catches and latches for the working side of a cabinet.
• Revitalize — traditional knobs and pulls with coordinating towel holders.
• Blackrock — squared contemporary pulls and knobs, strongest in matte black.
• Bar Pulls — the plain round bar in every common spacing, the clean-handle default.
• Candler — transitional pulls with matching wall plates for switch runs.
• Monument — flat contemporary pulls with a bath set behind them.
• Mulholland — traditional detailing, again with wall plates to match.
• Bronx — contemporary pulls, including a dual-drilled 3 inch and 3-3/4 inch pull for retrofits.
• St. Vincent — contemporary pulls plus a coordinated bath group.
• Winsome — traditional knob and pull shapes across a long spacing range.
• Highland Ridge — transitional pulls and knobs with towel holders to match.

Most popular Amerock pieces at Knobs.co

Over the past six months the Edona 1-1/4 inch knob has outsold every other Amerock piece here, and by a wide margin. Behind it: the Everyday Heritage 3 inch pull, the 3 inch cup pull, the Everyday Heritage 4 inch pull and the Revitalize 1-1/4 inch knob. The pattern is worth noting: plain knobs and short 3 to 4 inch pulls, not statement pieces.

Finishes Amerock makes

Amerock sorts its own finishes into silvers, golds, brown, grays, blacks, whites, clear and split (two-tone). The pieces stocked here follow that: nickel, black, bronze, gold and chrome tones carry the most variants, with smaller groups in grey, silver, steel, brass, white and clear. Zinc is the dominant material, with a smaller set in aluminium, steel, stainless steel and zinc-with-stainless combinations. Because the same finish names repeat across most collections, a kitchen can take knobs from one series and pulls from another and still hold one metal tone.

Knobs vs pulls

If you already know the shape you want, start there. Amerock Bar Pulls is the pull-led family, while Everyday Heritage and Revitalize carry the strongest knob selection. For a cross-brand view, browse all cabinet knobs or all cabinet pulls and handles.

When Amerock fits a project

Choose Amerock when a recognisable brand name helps — resale, rentals, spec builds — and when the kitchen leans farmhouse, transitional or mainstream contemporary. The catalogue is a steady choice for full-home refresh work where consistency across many cabinet runs matters more than one feature piece. Amerock also covers the auxiliary categories that come up when a kitchen is rebuilt: appliance pulls, hinges and catches. For tighter modern designs, the Cyprus collection covers cleaner bar pulls.

What to check before ordering

• Measure the existing hole spacing before you pick a pull. Most Amerock pulls are single-spacing, and a 96 mm pull will not land on 128 mm holes without new holes in the door.
• Check whether the collection you want covers every piece the room needs. Some families stop at knobs and pulls; others carry appliance pulls, towel holders and wall plates as well.
• Match the finish name exactly across the order rather than trusting two screens to agree, especially in the bronze and gold families where the variants sit close together.
• Hinges and catches are sized to the door, not the style. Confirm overlay, inset and door thickness before adding them to a decorative order.
