Cabinet & shell handles

Shell handles are small but powerful elements in furniture design. They offer a touch of elegance and aesthetics while blending seamlessly into different styles. They are also ideal for retrofitting, renewing, renovating or replacing old furniture handles. Whether modern, rustic or antique - with the right choice of materials, colours and finishes, you can give your furniture an individual and charming look.

Inlet handles - materials, colours and finishes

Shell handles (also known as inlet handles) are usually made of metal, but versions made of wood or plastic are also available. Depending on the material, the colour and finish also vary. Metallic shell handles, for example, are available in chrome, brass, bronze or black. Wooden handles can be natural, lacquered or coloured, and plastic handles offer a wide range of colours and textures. In our shop, you will find shell handles with the following finishes, among others:

When choosing a finish, look for a good finish. Inlet handles should be sanded at the edges and well finished so that they are perfectly smooth. This prevents injuries and ensures a long service life. Of course, this also applies to all other types of furniture handles.

Styles and uses for shell handles

Shell handles are versatile and go with many different furniture styles. They are great for kitchen cabinets, chests of drawers, sideboards and, of course, display cabinets.

Here are some examples of which doors they look particularly good in:

Sliding doors: They are ideal for sliding doors because they do not protrude and are therefore not distracting.
Furniture drawers: With the right shell handle you give old furniture, and especially drawers a new look.
Hinged doors: They provide a good grip to make the door easy to open and close.
Cupboard doors: Shell handles are often a stylish alternative to traditional handles.
Tiny house: Wherever every centimetre counts, shell handles cut a fine figure.
Office furniture: In office environments where drawers and cupboards are frequently opened and closed, shell handles are a practical option.
Caravans and boats: Due to their space-saving design, shell handles are an excellent option for motorhomes, camper and boats.

Special variants such as fold-out shell handles offer additional functionality and are ideal for space-saving solutions. They are inconspicuous when not in use and fold out easily when you need them.

But clip-on handles, such as the Häfele glass door handle are also particularly practical and easy to fit.
