Pullout trash bin - knob or pull?
Comments (29)Nope, pull is better...it distributes the force of your "pulling" along the drawer better. Besides, the cabinet behind gets just as "worn" as behind a pull...I know from experience w/my old kitchen (it started w/knobs and it got worn where your fingers fit around the knob stem). However, with a pull, you really don't touch the cabinet at all... Like Trudymom, we usually put a dishcloth on the trash pull for dirty hands...at least until we install the foot pedal. Heads up...if you have soft-close, you will have to disengage the soft-close to use a foot pedal. This is actually the hold-up on our pedal installation...my DH is balking at losing the soft-close! Hafele is the only place I've found the foot pedal as well. There are two models...one for trash cans hanging from rails (like CarryScott's mother's) and one for trash cans sitting an a "shelf" (like mine). Both foot pedals are designed for frameless, but our own MeToo2 posted how s/he modified them back in 2007.

Comments (5)lukkirish, the coordinating knobs we don't really care for at all. To me they look strikingly like a Daisey. But, the finish would match, so.... Suero - nice find, thanks. Not sure we have time to order samples again, but I will keep this one for consideration. We also thought the http://www.schaubandcompany.com/html/corinth_abz.html, but here again the pull is too large but we like the knob better *sigh*.... Les917 - Yes, I neglected to shoot a pic holding the handle up from afar (alas - DH was otherwise occupied). Those are our cabs, and the handles - we tried that handle on all cab faces - they are the same size. I wish they made this style in several sizes, as Amerock does for some of their hardware. They do not in this style. Your last comment, not sure I understand, but we thought the handles as placed would look best on the doors (placed high on top of the stiles). Would you put the handles on the drawers on the rails? Or panels? In center of panels, or near top?

Comments (12)sis2two, Labbie --> I looked at the somerset collection at top knobs. It looked OK but I really think something with top mounted screws in the bin pulls would look better in my kitchen. None of the knobs appealed to me.. They were too "perfect" I think and did not invoke the rustic, been used many many times feel I am going for. EngineerChic --> Nice knob. It has the look somewhat but I want a smooth finish with no edges.. farmhousebound --> I have been browsing on ebay. A lot of lovely stuff.. especially the real vintage stuff but I am worried about being able to find screws and mounting hardware. DH wants things to at least match somewhat and I have not been able to find a large enough lot.. Let me know if something catches your eye... Marcolo --> Found a couple that have the texture and the look.. Very pricey!! I am not good with color on the screen but I am not sure which finish is more like cast iron.. Is it Dark bronze?...See MoreFor those with Bin Pulls / Cup Pulls on kitchen drawers...
Comments (11)Dian- Thank you for posting about Cripe. I just placed my order, and even though I had to order quite a bit extra due to the lot size, I still only paid $58, including shipping. Can't wait to get them. I'll use the extra knobs in the bathroom. :)...See Moresheloveslayouts
