My New Medicine Cabinet, Pocket Door Hardware, & Pulls!
Comments (20)Cat_mom and Lottery thanks so much for the complements. I really appreciate all your insights and great contributions to this forum. Lottery I LOVE WALNUT! Hunzi, I got the hardware off of this site: Directdoorhardware dot com. They weren't cheap. Aren't your still putting kids through college? We're done and they are both out and working. Yippy! This is the description: "PL63SQSSS Linnea Standard Bore Pocket Door Lock - Square Style Finish: 304 Satin Stainless Steel". The carpenter thought that they operated very nicely. He did think they were a bit of work to install. He is a very good meticulous carpenter too. He said he would not recommend them. But he didn't take as long with the second door. And I know he likes exacting work. I think he just expected to pop those puppies in. He is the carpenter that made my soapstone vanity stand and my cabinets for my first bathroom install. This is my second bathroom. Lee, thank you so much. I really take that as a complement! So you need pocket door hardware. The actual mechanism is by Linnea but it didn't come with an edge pull. I found the Sugatsune edge pulls that blended nicely so I picked them up. Can you use "flush pulls"? Here is a link I found with flush pulls: http://www.directdoorhardware.com/linnea_flush_pulls.htm The towel tree can be pulled over so I want to warn of that. This summer I had it in my other bathroom waiting for this room to get done. My 3 year old grandson pulled it over. Fortunately he didn't get hit! So I would only recommend the setup to responsible adults ;) I love it though. Regarding the medicine cabinet, tonight I might install the LED track. I had to order special adaptor that I missed on my original order. My electrician is ok with me doing this portion. He installed the hard wire 12volt. I will attach the LED strip and the infrared on/off switch. I did a plug-in setup in my laundry cabinet with the infrared and it has worked beautifully so far. Raehelen, many questions...with answers for you:) The medicine cabinet door is an actual medicine cabinet door that I acquired 20 years ago. I didn't even know about any of this stuff. It sat in my basement for all this time. I almost gave it away to Habitat for Humanity. When I was looking for medicine cabinets this past summer 2013 (you aren't the only one with a year long bathroom project, I'm sorry to report :( Anyway when looking, I saw a Robern medicine cabinet at Fergeson's and thought about my Robern cabinet door, "could I have an actual medicine cabinet door?" I did. It is huge! The door is double sided mirror, but the inner mirror is not as wide as the outer mirror. The inner area is a sturdy plastic with spots for hinges. That is what told me it was the same as the med cab on display. I thought that my cab maker could get those hinges and install the door onto a box. The edge is a black plastic that as a channel or grove all along the edges. It is about 1/5" thick. Here is a close up of one corner: I will take more pictures for you in a bit and post them so you and your husband can see the mirror better. Pipdog, thanks so much and coming from the one who has that most wonderfully light and refreshing master bathroom remodel from 2 years ago! Did you move from that location? It seems you may have said that. The pulls were a real struggle for me. I wanted minimalist and safety. I saw similar pulls but there was always a sharp edge to the sticky out part. I kept visualizing my naked thigh getting gored by a sharp pull! Mine have a gentle radius that is not edgy. These pulls, I found at Goingknobs dot com. This is the order description for my 10 pulls I ordered: 10 x (Richelieu) - BP57680140 - Richelieu Hardware Bp57680140 Contemporary Stainless Steel Edge Pull 80MM Chrome Finish @ $6.14 I like that they wrap around the drawer front and get attached to the back side of the drawer front. To me it is more stable with the particle board construction of the walnut veneer cabinets....See MoreRecommend handle/latch for bathroom pocket door
Comments (9)You have to spend money on the handle if you want something more than "a big box". I looked and looked. Now others may have differing experiences. I spent around $80 or 90 for my locking set. And I had to buy a pull separate because the set didn't come with a pull. Door pull is: SUG-YK-W100 Sugatsune Stainless Steel Recessed Door Edge Pull (Satin) Door latch is: cant find it oops sorry. I will post again when I find the brand that is shown in my pictures I have posted a link to the hardware hut where I bought the recessed pull. They have simple door insets for the flat side of the door for opening. Here is a link that might be useful: simple door handle...See MoreCabinet Handle Pull Size... HELP NEEDED!
Comments (2)Go pick up a couple of different size pulls (handles) at a home improvement store. Take them home and see what you think looks and would feel right on the cabinets. This is just for size, not for what you would really put on there. If the cabinets are not in yet, go to the cabinet displays with your samples and check it out. Whatever you choose, try to get a sample in your hand before you order them all or have them installed. I fell in love with a certain knob. Unfortunately, the matching pull had very little space for your fingers. I ended up choosing a different pull by the same manufacturer in a slightly different style but the same finish. I used knobs on almost all the cabinet doors (the hardware I picked was not cheap, and using pulls everywhere would have been very expensive, there are a lot of cabinets). On the normal sized drawers, I used 4" pulls (Center to center hole measurement). I have two stacks of wide drawers, and I used two 6 3/4 pulls on each of those drawers. I also used the larger pull on the trash pullout and a tall pantry door. I have dark raised panel furniture looking cabinets so I think it looks nice, and I like the way they feel. If you have shaker or a more modern type cabinet, using the same size pull size on everything might be a better choice so you get a sleek consistent look. I did not put pulls on the dummy drawer below the sink. I did not want anyone to mistakenly try to open it, and felt that it would be in my way when working at the sink....See MoreDoor handle & pull help
Comments (7)I just replaced a bar pull like the first picture on a between the studs laundry cabinet door. I lifted a loaded laundry basket that was sitting on the floor and jammed the back of my wrist into the end of the pull. (Pull was mounted vertically.) Broke the skin in a big circle, left a nasty bruise and didn't feel so good when I did it. Replaced with a curved Hafele arched pull that looks like it would be impossible to wound myself on....See Moremillworkman
