kithen cupboard doors argh!!!!!

[Michelle8199]

Hi there this may sound like a daft question. I'm replacing my kitchen cupboard doors. Can anybody tell me what its called when your handle on the door is running along the top of the door like its integrated as part of the door. its the same width of your cupboard and its like its stuck on the top. does this makle sense. Cant find them anywhere and I know there out there cos i already have them!!!!!!! just want to replace them thanks a lot. any help appreciated

Try kitchen-magic or b&q. I think they have what you are looking for!

They aren't in vogue at the moment.
You could always replace the door with a different handle on it.

If you mean that part of the actual door has been routed out to form a handle it is an integrated handle. Although I suspect you mean an actual attached 'handle' that is the width of the door.

If you are really keen to replace them you could visit a hardware store. Look for aluminium mouldings. There are many different shapes to choose from. Just get enough [they usually come in 8' lengths] so that they can be cut to lengths enough for all the doors. Many aluminium extrusions have different functions and so have no holes in them for screws. Drill a few small holes just big enough to put the screw through. If the screws are countersunk [angled on the bottom part of the head] you can lightly drill in each hole with a 1/2" drill just enough so that the hole is countersunk - that way the screws will sit flat when afixed.

As a last resort you can also visit a carpet store for mouldings, but note that most carpet strips have 'teeths' on them to grab the carpet.

Have fun.

If you mean the handles like you have on say an integrated dishwasher door then they are the same as normal handles, you just have to drill the holes for them and countersink them so the screwheads are buried

MFI do them

Why not take a photo of one of the existing doors and go to a local kitchen-fitting company and ask if they can help you find a supplier for the "handle"? They will probably have manufacturers' catalogues.

I fit for magnet kitchens. They do 3 i know of. Urban Lineaire which are gloss white with molded gloss white intergrated handles. They also do Kara Cherry, which are cherry with metal handles that run the width, also available in creme and maybe pear. They do a dark one called Tiko. Check out the website and let me know what you think.
