T-Knobs: Versatile Lengths and Grippy Textures

T-knobs (also called T-bar or T-shaped knobs) offer excellent leverage and a comfortable grip, making them ideal for drawers, cabinets, and heavier doors. Handles Inc offers them in multiple lengths for different scales and aesthetics.

  • 50mm T-Knobs: A popular mid-size option that balances presence and proportion. The knurled 50mm satin brass T-knob (12mm diameter) features a textured surface for superior grip and a sophisticated satin finish.
  • 56mm T-Knobs: Slightly longer for more substantial hardware statements, often available in brushed bronze or satin brass with lines texture.
  • 75mm T-Knobs: The largest in the range, perfect for larger cabinetry or bold design statements.

Textures make a big difference in both look and feel:

  • Smooth: Clean and minimalist for contemporary spaces.
  • Knurled: Diamond-patterned texture provides excellent traction and an industrial-modern edge.
  • Lines: Grooved linear texture offers a refined, tactile alternative to knurling.

Available finishes typically include satin brass, brushed bronze, black, and unlacquered options that age gracefully.

Cone Knobs: Sleek and Modern Profiles

Cone knobs deliver a sharp, tapered silhouette that adds architectural interest. The satin brass cone cabinet knob (22mm height, ~25mm diameter) features a smooth transition from base to tip, creating a streamlined look perfect for modern or transitional interiors.

These are available in satin brass and other finishes like white or black, making them versatile for color-coordinated schemes.

KR Knobs: Contemporary Bar-Style Design

KR knobs feature a clean, cylindrical bar shape mounted on a base—ideal for minimalist and modern kitchens or bathrooms. Available in 20mm diameter, they come in white, satin brass and black.

Their simple geometry pairs beautifully with handleless cabinetry or sleek linear designs.

Hexagon Knobs: Geometric Statement Pieces

For those who love angular, faceted designs, hexagon knobs (typically 35mm diameter, with different thickness options) bring a unique geometric flair. Solid brass versions in satin brass finish offer warmth and luxury, while black or white options provide high-contrast modern appeal.

The six-sided shape catches light beautifully and provides a secure, distinctive grip.

Knurled & Lines Cabinet Knobs

We stock a variety of additional knurled and lines cabinet knobs, some of the newest additions are our 16mm and 21mm cabinet knobs. These smaller round knobs are perfect for finer cabinetry, drawers, and furniture where subtlety matters.

  • 16mm versions (25mm depth to base) — Compact and discreet. Both knurled and lines textures are available in satin brass, brushed bronze, and black. The knurled texture gives a premium, tool-like grip, while lines offer a more understated elegance.
  • 21mm versions (33mm depth to basel) — Slightly more substantial for medium drawers and cabinets. Again, knurled and lines textures shine here, with excellent options in brushed bronze and satin brass for a cohesive look across your space.

These sizes allow for consistency across different cabinet scales in the same room.

Additional Standout Styles

  • Hammered Round Knobs and T-Knobs: The unlacquered hammered brass knob (30mm) and hammered T-knob (50mm) feature artisanal textures that add organic character and depth. As the brass ages naturally, they develop a rich, lived-in patina—perfect for rustic-modern or heritage-inspired interiors.
  • Flat Top Knobs: Simple, disc-like designs in various diameters (28mm, 40mm, 50mm) and finishes including satin brass, brushed bronze, black, white, and brushed stainless steel. They offer clean lines for minimalist spaces.
  • Conical Knobs: Similar to cone styles but with varied proportions—elegant tapered forms in satin brass and other finishes available in 25mm or 32mm diameter.
  • Knurled Edged Knobs: Combine a round profile with textured edges for enhanced grip and visual interest.
