This was very nicely spaced before I posted. Sorry it’s such a mess.

I personally don't like knobs on anything... I am planning ahead, age is a factor in pulls, arthritis

symmetry isn't an issue with me and ease and convenience always wins out.

Congratulations on the new build, I'll have a cocktail in your honor.

What are you putting on your upper doors? If you are doing knobs I would suggest

Option #5 - horizontal on the tipout

horizontal on the trash pullout.

knob on the spice pullout (or horizontal - if you're putting on a knob make sure it's placed in the middle of the pullout)

knob on the normal door

But, what is going in the normal door and why isn't this space drawers? Just curious.

I know this is not what you asked, but it’s important so I will go ahead. I would tell the cabinet maker you don’t want the tilt-out at the sink. I have been on this forum many years and this is the first post I’ve seen one mentioned in 8-10 years. They fell out of favor for several reasons: they trap moisture in whatever you store there, they are one more cleaning chore ss they easily get gross, and - the most important reason - they push your sink back a couple of inches farther than it needs to be which makes using the sink hard on the back.

I would also not get the spice pull-out. People who have them strongly dislike them - they force you to bend and peer to see the spices, and the bottles inevitably fall over and jostle. Take the 5” and make the adjacent cabinet or drawer wider by that amount.

As to your question, I like how Jenna Bush Hager mixed her knobs and pullls. Regardless, the trash pull-out should not have a vertical pull.

Fact is, I have a sink tilt-out, and my kitchen has been posted on here many, many times. There’s nothing wrong, or gross about tilt-outs, as long as you don’t keep wet sponges or cleaning tools in them. I use mine to store a supply of unused, (still in their wrappers) blue Scotch scrubby sponges. Very convenient. Nothing moist, or gross. Nothing to clean.

Does it push the sink back, making my back hurt? Not that I’ve noticed…and, I’m only 5’3”.

What is happening is that the original builder kitchen had the sink off center beneath a window. This run of cabinets is between walls, so there isn’t any wiggle room. In order to push the sink to the left and center the sink, a 5” pullout is going in between the sink cabinet and a corner lazy susan. We buy a number of spices in the industrial sized containers and plan to store those as well as oils and vinegars in the pullout. Small sized spices will go elsewhere.

I love Darburka’s under sink drawers, but under the sink is the only convenient place for a trash can. All other lowers are drawers.

I really don’t want to change anything else with the cabinet maker. He is taking this job as a favor. This cabinet maker does not usually work directly with customers and has hand drawn my kitchen three times. If the pop outs interfere with the sink, I will remove them myself.

@Tamara Gonzalez - Another reason it’s important is faucet clearance. The counter strip in front of an undermount sink is usually 3-4” - if there is a wall behind the sink (vs having the sink on an island), the farther back you push the sink, the less space for the faucet. The faucet space/clearance issue comes up often on this forum.

Rather than taking my word for it or @darbuka’s example as what your sink placement will be, ask your cabinet maker and whoever is installing your sink the question of how wide will the counter strip in front of your sink be to allow for the tilt-out? Make sure their answer includes the counter edge profile (e.g. ogee, bullnose, bevel, half-ogee, etc.) which typically adds 3/4”.

@M Miller

Thank you so much for sharing this information with me. I am absolutely not discounting what you’re saying. I don’t want to make anymore requests of my cabinet maker, but I will not hesitate to remove the trays if there are any problems with the sink.

Clearly, I am new to this. You brought up a possible serious issue that I had not considered. I will never do something like this again without professional assistance.

@MMiller

Thank you for sharing the pic of Jenna’s kitchen with me. It is helpful.

I had a vertical pull installed on my below the sink trash pull out 12 years ago. It works as good today as it did on the first day. So despite what some say on this forum it can be done that way.

If you want your trash pullout handle horizontal then put the handle on the other sink base door horizontal too.

IMO the hardware on the sink base doors should both have the same orientation.

I agree that they should be symmetrical. I notice that you used larger hardware. Maybe that’s the trick, because this layout is what I really want. It just looks normal.
