I also needed at least an 8" and I also wanted a 12" for the trash can drawer. We decided on Amerock which had lots of different sizes. The one we ultimately decided had a 3", 4", 5", 6", 8", 12" and 18"! Once you got up around the 8" and above, they start to get expensive. Our 8" pulls were $45 and that was with a 20% discount.

We purchased them from our cabinet person but lots of online places have them - Hardware Hut, Amerock for Less, My Knobs - from what I've read they all seem very reputable. Good luck.

My pulls are from Atlas Hardware. They were a little more money than I wanted to spend but they are very study and can hold up to anything. The company offers many different styles.

I've ordered knobs and pulls online before and loved them. Try Van Dyke Restorers. I got some great pulls on sale for .99 cents and they were fantastic. I believe even their regular prices are very good.

Try looking at Lee Valley online. They have a large selection of knobs, pulls, etc.

Try Top Knobs, I needed long ones for the dishwasher and frig. You can buy them online, I bought them from the KD since they installed them at NC.

Our kitchen hardware is from Valli and Valli. We got it at Hardware Design in Fairfield, NJ. We'd gotten our sink and faucets from them (and subsequently, got all of our bathroom fixtures from them as well). After we'd ordered our hardware, I looked online (just to compare other prices to the one we'd already gotten), and the price we'd gotten was much lower. This is going back 5 years.

They have a terrific selection. We got our bathroom hardware there, too.

I got mine at Lee valley and as noted they have a very easy to use online catalogue.

I bought from My Knobs and Hardware Hut and was pleased with both. The My Knobs website has an easier to navigate search function.

I was looking for multiple size pulls as well - as I recall Top Knobs and Amerock had quite a few that came in 3", 5" and 8".

I bought my knobs, latches and handle at Shop Amerock. I purchased my pulls from overstock.com. I was pleased with the quality of everything I received from both places.

In my last kitchen, I ordered all the handles and bull pins from Van Dyke's restorers. Total cost was $1500!! Yeah, I know, expensive, but I really liked them. They were pewter. They don't carry the ones I got anymore. Perhaps at $15 - $20 each they were not a very good seller.

New house, I bought all the handles from Menards on a terrific sale. Handles for the enire house cost $750. They were Hickory Hardware, Studio II style, and we paid less than $4.00 each. Studio II comes in many lengths, and in solid brass option, too.

Amerock from.......Amerock Express!

Choose the knobs and pulls you want by using descriptors on google. Then shop around on the internet using google. I used designerknobsandpulls.com for my Hickory Hardware orders.

I used Hardware Hut, A&H Turf Specialties,( http://ahturf.com/store/index.php ) and Rejuvenation.
They were all reliable and between them I could find everything at a great price. I used Schaub brand for knobs and pulls.
I have also dealt with Crown City, but they are pricey ( http://www.restoration.com/ )

I bought my pulls at Restoration Hardware in 4", 6", and 6" lengths in polished nickel. Very good quality. I love them!

Amerock and Top Knobs are two reliable brands that have many styles up to 8" in length. Find a style you want, then shop them around on the Internet, or even IRL if you're lucky enough to have good retailers near you, to find the best price.

Ebay . . .

Atlas Hardware, too------- good old fashioned quality.

Oops. My list of sizes above should read 4", 6", and 8". Apologies.

Iroll, what idea pulls do you have? I love the fintorp handles but Leary of quality! Input?

Also try D. Lawless hardware

Leaning toward Baldwin Brass - at compleat baldwin brass center in West Reading PA, they offer a 40% discount and then if you order enough, another 5%. Will compare but right now, BB is winning. I plan to order 5 inch arches but need antique brass (baldwin calls it brass with black)
I just found out the final count - 75 pulls!!!!!!!
Currently leaning towards all pulls and no knobs.
I searched almost every site listed and still haven't found exactly what I want - so watching closely for other suggestions.

Thank you for the replies! I've been looking at a few of these sites. I like a couple of the Amerock door pulls and knobs.

$45 a pull...wow! That would be my luck to find something I love that's really expensive. I was thinking that I could get away with spending no more than $500 for my kitchen. It's a good thing I only need 4 larger pulls.

Thanks again for the suggestions. You all are the best. I've become so addicted to this forum.

I have the Fintorp handles, stainless. So far, they are great (DH has very large hands, plus they were 20% off with the rest of the kitchen). Of course, I've only had them for a few months, but they seem to have a finish on them that I hope will keep them looking good.

I bought most of my hardware from Interknobs, but also some from Harware Hut. The prices and service were great.

Be careful on the larger pulls. Many of the larger ones are "appliance pulls". Check the thickness and projection listed on them. The appliance pulls are usually much thicker and project out farther from the mounting surface. That's why they're so expensive. They are made to put on refrigerators and dishwashers that have panels installed to make them look like part of the cabinets. That may not be what you want to use on your regular cabinets.

I've been wondering this too... Our builder gave us a $6 allowance and handed us a large Amerock catalog.

I looked up the very same pulls I was interested in and could find them for $2.50 each at shopamerock dot com.

I've noticed that most people on here buy their own. Is there any benefit from going with the builder? Will I likely have to pay extra to have them installed if I find my own?

Iroll, thank you. I love the fintorp. I won't get the 20 percent sadly since my kitchen isn't from Ikea, however at $4 per pull it isn't bad. I think I will do it
