Hardware Selection & Installation in Burbank, CA

We choose hardware that complements cabinet design ensuring cohesive appearance with your kitchen's overall aesthetic, whether traditional, contemporary, transitional, or farmhouse styling. Traditional cabinets benefit from classic knobs with detailed edges, cup pulls, and antique brass or oil-rubbed bronze finishes that provide warmth and character. Modern cabinets pair well with sleek bar pulls, integrated edge pulls, or push-to-open mechanisms in polished chrome, stainless steel, or matte black finishes.

Shaker and transitional styles work best with simple bar pulls, cabinet knobs, or cup handles in brushed nickel, pewter, or satin brass that balance clean lines with subtle detailing. We consider proportional relationships carefully, matching hardware size to cabinet door and drawer dimensions while ensuring comfortable grip and operation. Standard guidelines include 3 to 4-inch pulls for drawers, 5 to 6-inch pulls for doors, and appropriate spacing from edges for both functionality and visual balance.

We prioritize durable materials proven to resist wear, corrosion, and daily kitchen use including solid brass, stainless steel, and high-grade zinc alloys with protective coatings. Solid brass hardware offers superior longevity and develops attractive patina over time, while stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance and matches stainless appliances. High-quality zinc die-cast hardware with multi-layer finishes offers affordability.

We avoid low-grade materials prone to tarnishing, breaking, or finish deterioration including thin plating over base metals, plastic components in high-use areas, and hardware without proper corrosion protection. All selected materials undergo rigorous testing for pull strength, cycle life, and finish durability to ensure they withstand frequent handling while maintaining appearance. We specify hardware with appropriate load ratings for heavy doors and drawers.

Popular finishes include brushed nickel for versatility and fingerprint resistance, matte black for contemporary and industrial designs, oil-rubbed bronze for traditional warmth, and polished chrome for modern sophistication. Emerging trends include brass and gold finishes for luxury applications, pewter for softer alternatives to stainless steel, and specialty finishes like copper or aged iron for unique character. We coordinate hardware finishes with faucets, lighting fixtures, and appliance finishes for cohesive design integration.

Design options range from simple bar pulls and round knobs to geometric shapes, ergonomic profiles, and decorative elements that enhance both comfort and visual interest. We consider grip comfort for all family members, ease of cleaning for kitchen environments, and how hardware shadows and reflections interact with cabinet lighting. Specialty designs include integrated pulls routed into door edges, backlit handles, and custom hardware.

We source exclusively from industry-leading manufacturers including Blum for soft-close hinges and drawer slides, Hettich for European hardware systems, Häfele for specialty mechanisms, and Amerock for decorative pulls and knobs. These partnerships ensure consistent quality, extensive selection, and reliable performance backed by manufacturer warranties and technical support. We maintain relationships with suppliers offering both standard and custom hardware solutions for unique applications.

Our preferred brands provide comprehensive product lines including concealed hinges with multiple overlay options, full-extension drawer slides rated for heavy loads, soft-close and push-to-open mechanisms, and specialty hardware for corner cabinets and tall units. We prioritize suppliers with strong replacement part availability, technical documentation, and installation support to ensure long-term serviceability. This approach enables us to offer widely available hardware for easy future replacement.
