Open & Hide: knobs, edge handles, and wall hangers
Knobs are the largest group in this section, and they're where most orders start: one grip point, one screw, no measuring required. You wrap your entire hand around the long handle, so it works better on a drawer that you pull out completely. You screw the edge profile onto the top or side edge of the front and grab it from underneath, allowing the board itself to be visible from the room. You mount the wall hanger on the wall next to the furniture, and the furniture legs raise the body above the floor, exposing the floor. A separate group are washers, i.e. rosettes that fit between the knob and the front, which enlarge its contact with the plate and cover the traces of the previous fitting. If you are looking for one form regardless of the manufacturer, the store has separate sections: furniture knobs, edge handles and furniture legs.
Open and Hide Handles: Brass, Copper, Stainless Steel
Brass is the core of the offering here, giving the section a warm, golden tone. Copper, steel, stainless steel, and aluminum are making a comeback. The manufacturer lists the finish directly in the name: brushed, polished, chrome, matte, lacquered, unlacquered. Brushed brass has a matte, blurred sheen and is less visible on fingerprints, while polished brass shines intensely and requires more frequent wiping. Color-wise, the range sticks to gold and black, with silver and copper also available, and individual models come in white and brown. Gold and copper can be paired with wood and sand-colored fronts. Black and silver will provide contrast against a light panel. Brass and copper should be wiped with a damp cloth and then wiped dry, as powders and scouring pads leave scratches on soft metal that won't be removed later.
Hidden Handles, or Open & Hide Edge Profiles
The edge profile hides the handle behind the edge of the front, so the cooktop itself is visible from the room. You mount it on the top or side edge of the door and slide your hand under it, without milling into the cooktop. In the kitchen, it works well on lower cabinets, where the handle runs just below the countertop, and in wardrobes on high cabinets, because your hand can reach the profile at any height. Before you order, check one thing: this section doesn't offer recessed handles (i.e., handles milled flush with the board), or push-to-open mechanisms. Both solutions require different furniture machining than an edge profile, so look elsewhere.
What spacing and knob diameter should you choose for Open & Hide?
The spacing is measured from the center of one hole to the center of the other, not from the outer ends of the handle. For edge profiles, the number in the name indicates the total length and is greater than the spacing, so check the spacing in the product description, never in the model name. Among long and edge handles, the most common are 96, 128, and 160 mm, while for longer profiles, 280 and 320 mm. Knobs and hangers are attached with a single screw, so there's no spacing at all. Knobs are chosen by diameter: a smaller one, a dozen or so millimeters, is sufficient for narrow doors and bathroom fronts, while a larger one, a few centimeters, looks better on a wide dresser drawer. Also check the hardware's reach in front of the cabinet: with a cabinet placed against the wall and with two doors opening in the same direction, this determines whether the door will reach all the way.
Open & Hide Handles in the Kitchen, Wardrobe, and Bathroom
In the kitchen, a knob is most often used on upper cabinets, while a long handle or edge profile is used on lower drawers, because on a wide cabinet front, a short handle forces you to pull with one corner. Choose smooth shapes, without deep grooves that collect grease. In a dressing room, wall hangers are useful, mounted next to the wardrobe, not on the front, because you're hanging things on them that haven't yet been put back inside. Stainless steel models are probably best suited for the bathroom, as they don't rust in constant humidity. Stylistically, the section adheres to the modern and Scandinavian trends, with individual retro and loft-style shapes, so it's easier to pair with light-colored panels and wood than with heavy woodwork. Brass itself has its own section in the store: Brass handles collects models from all manufacturers.
Frequently asked questions about Open & Hide handles
◆ How is the Open & Hide brand name spelled? Hide?
The manufacturer saves it with an ampersand: Open & Hide. In search engines, the same brand also appears as open and hide, open&hide, open hide, openhide, and openandhide. All these forms, along with the queries open and hide handles and open hide handles, refer to a single store section and a single offer.
◆ What will you find in the Open and Hide section?
Knobs, long handles, edge profiles, wall hangers, furniture legs, knob supports, and small bathroom accessories. This section doesn't have subcategories, so you choose your style from a single list. Knobs are the most popular, so if you're looking for an elongated handle, the quickest way to find it is through the product type filter.
◆ What material are Open & Hide handles made of?
The base is brass, with copper, steel, stainless steel, and aluminum also available. The manufacturer lists the finish in the model name: brushed, polished, chrome, matte, lacquered, or unlacquered. The material and finish together determine the shade, so two models in the same color can look different on a light and a dark front.
◆ Does this section offer hidden handles?
Edge profiles are the closest to this concept. You screw them onto the edge of the front and insert your hand from underneath, so from the room side, you can see the panel itself, without any protruding hardware. Recessed handles, i.e., handles milled into the door surface, or push-to-open mechanisms are not included in this section.
◆ How to measure the spacing before installing the handle?
Place the measuring tape at the centers of the two holes in the front, not at the ends of the old handle. When replacing, it's easiest to measure this with the hardware unscrewed, when the holes are exposed. Among long and edge handles, the most common sizes are 96, 128, and 160 mm, and for longer profiles, 280 and 320 mm. This measurement doesn't apply to knobs and hangers, as they use a single screw.
◆ What knob diameter should I choose for my cabinet?
For narrow doors, bathroom fronts, and upper cabinets, a knob a dozen or so millimeters wide will suffice, as a larger knob will dominate the smaller front. A diameter measured in centimeters looks better on a wide dresser drawer and wardrobe door, as you can grip it more securely with your whole hand. Also, check how much the knob protrudes from the front if the furniture is in a walkway.
