Drop Handles

Q: What are drop handles?

Drop handles, or cabinet drop pulls, are a backplate or rose with a hanging swing pull that drops down when not in use. They give a traditional, period look to drawers and cupboard doors.

Cabinet Drop Pulls and Swing Handles for Drawers

Our drop handles collection brings together traditional cabinet drop pulls - a backplate or rose with a hanging swing pull that drops down when not in use. These cabinet drop pulls give a classic, period look to drawers, cupboards and dressers and are a favourite for traditional and country kitchens.

Choosing Drop Handles

Drop handles suit lighter drawers and cupboard doors where a period detail is wanted. Because the pull swings from a fixed plate, there is one central fixing to line up, making them straightforward to fit. Order in matching sets so a run of drawers looks consistent, and pair them with matching knobs on smaller doors.

Drop Handle Finishes

Choose drop handles in antique brass, brushed nickel, satin and brushed brass, polished and satin chrome, matt black, bronze and pewter. Explore coordinating ranges in antique brass cabinet hardware, polished chrome cabinet hardware and matt bronze cabinet hardware.
