Cabinet Handles in Pakistan: Trends, Options & Where to Buy

Cabinet handles are a small detail that can make a noticeable difference to the look and usability of furniture. In Pakistan, homeowners, carpenters and furniture makers can choose from a wide range of materials, finishes and sizes, which is helpful but can also make buying confusing. This guide explains the popular options, how sizes are listed, and what to check before you buy.

Popular finishes

Three finishes are especially popular for homes and offices:

• Matte black gives a clean, modern look and suits both light and dark furniture.
• Golden and brass tones add warmth and a premium feel, and they look good on dark wood and on white cabinets.
• Chrome looks bright and sharp, and it suits light, modern rooms.

If you are not sure which suits your furniture, read our guide on choosing a handle finish.

Common materials

Each material has its own strengths. If you are choosing between them, our comparisons of brass vs aluminium and brass vs stainless steel vs zinc alloy will help.

How sizes are listed

In Pakistan you will see sizes written in two ways, and it helps to know the difference.

• Millimetres (mm) are used for cabinet and drawer handles. The number is usually the hole spacing, which is the distance from the centre of one screw hole to the centre of the other. Common sizes include 64 mm, 96 mm, 128 mm, 160 mm, 192 mm, 256 mm, 288 mm and 320 mm.
• Inches are often used for long pull handles, such as 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 inch handles for wardrobes and doors. In this case the number is usually the overall length of the handle.

Always check which measurement a seller is listing before you order. Our guide on how to measure cabinet handle hole spacing shows how to find yours.

Where to buy cabinet handles

You can buy from local hardware markets or online, and each has its advantages. A market lets you hold the handle and compare weight and finish in person. Buying online gives you a wider choice, clear size details and delivery to your door, which is useful if you live outside the big hardware markets.

When buying online, look for these signs of a trustworthy seller:

1. Exact specifications on every listing, including hole spacing, material and finish.
2. Clear, real photos of the actual product, not only edited pictures.
3. A real shop address and phone number so you know who you are dealing with.
4. Clear delivery and returns information.
5. Sensible payment options, such as bank transfer or Cash on Delivery.
