Heritage Brass - Kitchen and Cabinet Hardware

Solid Brass Kitchen Cupboard Handles, Cabinet Knobs and Drawer Pulls

The Heritage Brass kitchen and cabinet hardware range by M.Marcus brings together over 3,000 kitchen cupboard handles, cabinet knobs, cup handles, edge pulls, flush pulls and cupboard catches. M.Marcus is a British manufacturer established in 1940, and Heritage Brass cabinet hardware is made from solid brass, then finished in brass, bronze, chrome, nickel, black, rose gold and aged finishes. Use it on kitchen cupboards and drawers, wardrobes, dressers, sideboards, bathroom vanity units and fitted furniture.

What sets Heritage Brass apart is that the same finishes run across its door handles, window furniture and cabinet hardware. Choose satin brass kitchen handles and you can fit matching satin brass door handles and satin brass window fittings in the same room, all from one manufacturer, so the colour and sheen match rather than nearly match.

One Finish for Every Door, Window and Cupboard

Heritage Brass makes its door handles, window furniture and kitchen and cabinet hardware in the same core finishes: polished brass, satin brass, antique brass, matt bronze, polished chrome, satin chrome, polished nickel and satin nickel. That means you can plan a whole room, or a whole house, in one finish. A typical example is satin brass lever handles on the doors, satin brass casement fasteners or sash fasteners on the windows, and satin brass cupboard handles and drawer knobs in the kitchen.

See every product in one finish across doors, windows and cupboards: satin brass, polished brass, antique brass, matt bronze, polished chrome, satin chrome, polished nickel, satin nickel and unlacquered brass. Or shop by product: Heritage Brass door handles and knobs and Heritage Brass window furniture.

Matt black, satin rose gold and the aged finishes are not made in every door and window design, so check the door and window ranges before you plan a whole house match in those finishes.

Popular Cabinet Handle Styles

Browse knurled kitchen handles, T-bar handles, straight bar handles, hammered, Metro, Bauhaus, reeded, art deco, traditional, Victorian, vintage and porcelain designs. Many styles come as both a pull handle and a matching cupboard knob, so you can use knobs on wall units and handles on drawers in the same design and finish.

Kitchen Cupboards, Drawers and Wardrobes

For kitchen cupboard doors, pull handles of 96mm to 160mm suit most wall and base units, while longer handles of 192mm to 320mm suit tall larder doors and wide pan drawers. Cupboard knobs give a classic look on wall units and small drawers, and cup handles are a traditional choice for drawers on Shaker style kitchens. For wardrobe handles, longer pull handles are easier to grip on tall doors, and flush pulls suit sliding wardrobe doors. On bathroom vanity units and bedroom furniture, smaller knobs and drawer pulls keep the look neat.

Sizes, Measuring and Fixing

Cabinet pull handles are sized by their fixing centres, also called centre to centre (CTC), the distance between the centres of the two bolt holes. Heritage Brass pull handles run from 57mm up to 480mm. Popular metric kitchen sizes are 96mm, 128mm, 160mm, 192mm, 256mm and 320mm, and traditional imperial sizes include 76mm, 101mm, 152mm, 203mm and 254mm. Pull handles come with four M4 bolts, two at 25mm and two at 40mm thread length, and knobs come with two M4 bolts at 25mm and 38mm, to suit different door and drawer front thicknesses.

Kitchen and Cabinet Hardware Questions

Can I match Heritage Brass kitchen handles to my door handles and window furniture?
Yes. Heritage Brass uses the same finishes across its door handles, window furniture and kitchen and cabinet hardware, so satin brass cupboard handles match satin brass door handles and satin brass window fittings. This works for polished brass, antique brass, matt bronze, polished chrome, satin chrome, polished nickel and satin nickel too.

How do I measure for replacement cupboard handles?
Measure the distance between the centres of the two screw holes on the back of the door or drawer. This is the centre to centre (CTC) size. Choose a pull handle with the same CTC and it will fit the existing holes with no new drilling.

What size kitchen handles should I choose?
As a rough guide, 96mm to 160mm handles suit most kitchen wall and base cupboard doors, and 192mm to 320mm handles suit tall doors and wide drawers. Many people use one size throughout for a simple look, or a longer size on drawers.

What size cupboard knob should I choose?
Most Heritage Brass cabinet knob designs come in 32mm and 38mm. As a rough guide, 32mm suits smaller doors and drawers, and 38mm suits larger doors, deep drawers and wardrobes. Some designs are also made in smaller or larger sizes.

What is the difference between a cup handle, an edge pull and a flush pull?
A cup handle is a curved pull you hook your fingers under, a classic choice for drawers. An edge pull fits over the top or side edge of a door or drawer for a near handleless look. A flush pull is set into a recess so nothing sticks out, which suits sliding doors and wardrobes.

What is unlacquered brass?
Unlacquered brass has no protective lacquer, so it tarnishes and develops a natural patina with use. It suits period kitchens and furniture where an aged, lived in look is wanted. It can be polished back to a shine if you prefer.

Are Heritage Brass cabinet handles solid brass?
Yes. Heritage Brass kitchen and cabinet hardware is made from solid brass by M.Marcus, a British manufacturer established in 1940, then finished in the chosen finish. The porcelain cupboard knobs combine brass with porcelain.

What fixings come with Heritage Brass cabinet handles?
Pull handles come with four M4 bolts, two at 25mm and two at 40mm thread length, and knobs come with two M4 bolts at 25mm and 38mm, so they suit a range of door and drawer front thicknesses. The bolts fit from the back of the door into the handle.

How do I look after brass kitchen handles?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry them off. Avoid abrasive cleaners and metal polish on lacquered, chrome and nickel finishes, as they can damage the finish. Unlacquered brass can be polished if you want to bring back the shine.
