Having a good selection of cabinet handles and cabinet hinges for residential homes draws customers who value quality and variety of choice. There are different required needs for industrial handles and industrial hinges versus residential.

Industrial supply storage facilities sometimes need chrome chest handles and strong hinges to equip heavy metal doors. Not all manufacturers of cabinet handles and cabinet hinges make both industrial and residential styles.

Things to consider for both types of handles and hinges:

1: Choose supply companies that carry a wide range of styles for residential customers. Have a wide price range that can meet the need of any customer.

2: Hinges play a major part in the quality of cabinet doors, whether residential or industrial. Good quality hinges help cabinet doors look more attractive and hold up better over time. Hinges can be beautiful, functional or “invisible.”

3: Industrial handles and industrial hinges have a variety of styles to choose from. Functional features such as lock-down handles for heavy metal drawers are available. Consider the different needs of clients who store goods and supplies in warehouses or those who store where the public sees. Some clients prefer attractive industrial handles.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find dandy door handles and hinges in daring styles


Go European with cabinet hinges unseen from the outside of the cabinet. Choose cabinet handles that add an unusual flair or some that suit the simple.

I recommend: Request a newsletter and get on the email list for product information about a wide variety of cabinet handles from MyKnobs.com. View products and get detailed descriptions of hinges for both residential and industrial needs. 

Handy hinge-matching service and awesome antique accessories attract customers


Difficult jobs such as trying to match replacement hinges can be easier with this unique service. Antique handles and hardware made from brass, glass, cast iron and porcelain for cabinet doors lend creativity for antique-lovers.

I recommend: Contact Cabinetparts.com and use their hinge-matching service to find replacement hinges from most any hinge manufacturer. Find information on hinges, handles and accessories and request a catalog containing wholesale prices to companies and contractors. Get free shipping on orders over $100 within the US from House of Antique Hardware.

View wide selection of industrial parts for individual needs of companies and clients


Get familiar with all that's available in the industrial realm of handles and hinges.

I recommend: View 3d models of industrial handles from MonroeEngineering.com and fill out a registration form for information. Request specific product information, get a hardware catalog and have a salesperson contact you from a company that specializes in chrome parts.
