Tab pulls designed for upper cabinets?

7 years ago

I’ve seen some posts about installing tab pulls (or edge pulls) upside down on upper cabinets. I don’t like the idea of the edge of the pull curling up with this installation. I’d like it better if it curved down (like it would on a base cabinet install) to make it easier to slide fingers under and pull. Does anyone know if this type of pull exists?

Here are photos on Houzz of kitchens with the keyword pair "edge pull." Not all of the ktichens actually do have edge pulls, but you'll see some that do for inspiration:

Thanks, I’ve done that search, and have seen plenty of inspiration. What I’m trying to do at this point is find some to purchase that fit my needs. That is where I am having a problem. I need upper cabinet specific, and would like the lip or curve to bend downward when installed on an upper.

I have had several kitchens with edge pulls, and all have curved up on upper cabinets. In my current kitchen I have several cabinets that are stacked, so if the upper pull curved down I couldn’t open the lower cabinet.

Did you ever find the pulls for upper cabinets? I'm looking for exactly the same thing for the same reason.

No, unfortunately we didn’t. We ended up using these.

Thanks for letting me know. Your kitchen looks really pretty! I do like the pulls instead of drilling holes for handles on the door fronts.

jazzandjerz - can you please tell me more about your backsplash? I like the colors.

@michelehoover - the tile is made by a company called Inax, and it is Format Mix. It’s actually more of a sheen and relief difference as opposed to various colors. I was only able to find one distributor in the US, and it had to be shipped from Japan. The distributor was SpecCeramics in Fullerton, CA.

I have exactly the same problem and like the pulls you selected. I wonder if they are available in polished nickel. Can you share the manufacturer?

I’m thinking about clear acrylic ones. I want to make it so I touch the painted finish as little as possible but I’m not sure if I like the way they look.

Pamela OSteen, I do like them a lot. We just did an addition that necessitated purchasing new pulls. I looked around to see if anything that I liked better had come along, and ended up ordering more of these for the new Mudroom and laundry.

Jazzandjerz....do you mind sharing the name of the pulls you used? I really like them and I'm in the same dilemma about not wanting the "grab pull" part on top. Thank you.

jazzandjerz....I never expected you to see my post after all the time since your original post. So I searched and searched and finally found Crestview and wondered if it was indeed the one you used. Yay! It is! I'd like to thank you so much for taking your time to answer & share all your info on this thread regarding your tile and hardware selection! 😊

I FOUND IT! Here's an example of a finger pull for an UPPER cabinet that curves down instead of up: https://www.remodelista.com/products/sugatsune-snd-304-stainless-steel-edge-pull-handle/
