All pulls are recommended for universal access purposes, actually. They are more user friendly for doors than are knobs, especially for people with small hands like kids or who have grasping difficulties like someone with arthritis.

I went knobless. Not a knob in sight in my kitchen and I love it. I find pulls much easier to use and don't care for knobs on the lower cabs where they catch cords. Very happy with my decision.

I got a sample of the pull that I'd planned to use and realized it was too small for my kitchen and it was hard to use. I hadn't really anticipated that problem so I was really glad I had a sample! I ended up going with a pull that was much deeper and much more comfortable. Love them! Definitely get a sample before making your final decision.

No knobs in my kitchen. I've never been a big fan of knobs. Well, I did have the cab maker drill for two knobs on my dish hutch as I was thinking of crystal knobs there. Now, I'm not so sure they'll go with my space. I am pleased with my decision on the pulls in general and with their specific orientation for ease of use. I like the horizontal symmetry of all my hardware.

We went not only "Knobless" but "Pull less" too.
We had all our cabinets and drawers made to be opened with out any "hardware", knobs or pulls.

After 6 years we are still loving it and so easy to keep clean.

My friend went knobless on her uppers, at least (I can't remember if the drawers have pulls). She has sleek slab doors, and she didn't want anything to ruin the clean lines. It looks great.

I just have pulls as well, I like them much better than knobs. Next time I would do without hardware at all I think, like dodge59.

dodge59---how do you go knobless AND pull less???

annsch - this is one way:

Another way - this is in my powder room, you push the cabs to open:

I too cannot stand knobs. They catch on everything, and for the most part they look so ineffectual. The big pull dilemma is whether to go all horizontal as breezy did, or to mix horizontal and vertical pulls. It depends on the pull and your esthetic preference.

No knobs either- find them harder to open. Here is a pic of one wall.

Thanks so much for the feedback. FWIW, these are the ones I am looking at!

No knobs or pulls will be used on my work-in-progress kitchen. Well, except for the filler pull-outs. There are routed runnels(?) on back side of the doors and drawers that allow you to pull from there to open. I thought about adding knobs or pulls, but wanted to spend the $ elsewhere, and thought the kitchen would look fine without them.

It's =your= kitchen, so do what appeals to you visually and in function. The Cliffside pulls are beautiful but up at $11 or $20 a pop ... ouch!

No knobs or pulls on our cabinets in kitchen, laundry or bath. Doors have slots along the bottom edge for fingers, drawers have slots in either the top or bottom edge, depending on what works best for height from floor.

DH and I have slender fingers. Friends with thicker fingers do have problems. Eventually, we'll need pulls, as hands grow weaker.

Sure, you can use pulls wherever you think they would work well. If you read the other threads about hardware here, the consensus is to use what you want.

One reason to use knobs instead might be the cost, but it may not be a consideration in your situation. I really liked the hardware we picked, but really couldn't bring myself to spend what it would have cost to have all pulls as we have a lot of doors. I really like both the knobs and pulls we have, they are very comfortable to use.

The cabinets that you can open with your hands by pulling the backside of the door/drawer have a "fingerpull edge". Having spent the last 25+ years with no harware on the kitchen cabinets, I wanted hardware when we remodeled, and I'm really happy having it.

I also did not want European pulls with ends that stick out.
Went with arch pulls but seriously considered badgergal pulls.
