Silver Cabinet Pulls

Silver cabinet pulls: what the finish family covers

Silver is a color family rather than a single plating. On cabinet hardware it covers everything from bright, almost chrome-like tones through soft satin and brushed surfaces down to darker antiqued and heirloom silvers. That range is why silver pulls land in so many different rooms: the bright end suits contemporary kitchens, and the darkened end belongs with traditional and rustic cabinetry.

Who makes the silver pulls here

Edgar Berebi accounts for most of this page, with Carpe Diem Hardware, Schaub and Company, Jeffrey Alexander, Berenson and the Urban Metro line filling in the rest. That mix matters because a decorative maker and a production maker treat the same finish name differently: one may hand-apply and relieve the surface, the other plates it evenly. The tone shifts between them even when the name does not.

Sizes, drill centers and appliance work

Standard cabinet pulls dominate, with a sizeable block of appliance pulls and a few finger and glass pulls. Drill centers here include 3, 3-1/2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 inches, with 12 and 18 inch centers for refrigerator and pantry fronts. Measure between the existing holes before ordering replacements; on new drawers, size the pull to the drawer rather than to the neighboring doors.

Mixing silver with other metals

Two pulls with the same finish name from two makers will rarely be identical, so buy a room from one maker where you can. Silver is the easiest metal to mix because it reads neutral. A common approach is silver-tone pulls with warm brass or bronze knobs, which gives contrast without a fight. Keep one finish dominant and use the other on a smaller set of pieces. Mixing metal finishes in a kitchen sets out the ratios, and silver-tone pulls for contemporary kitchens shows the bright end of the range in place.
