Deltana K43 Oval Shell Handle Pull 3-1/2"

The K43 is Deltana's 3-1/2 inch oval shell handle pull. That 3-1/2 inch figure is the pull's stated size, not a center-to-center hole spacing. Shell pulls like this one are cup-style handles you grip from underneath, so if your drawer fronts are already drilled for a two-hole bar pull on a fixed center spacing, expect to drill fresh holes rather than reuse the old ones.

Deltana lists the K43 as a residential product. It is intended for cabinets and drawers in homes and residential units, not for commercial-duty casework or high-traffic institutional millwork. For a property manager doing kitchen refreshes in apartments it is fine; for a school or hospital casework spec, look at a heavier commercial drawer pull such as the Trimco 553 Series.

The Deltana K43 is a 3-1/2 inch solid brass oval shell handle pull for cabinets and drawers. If your cabinet shop is working to a drilled hole pattern instead, the Trimco 562 series drawer pulls are offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center options, and the Trimco 553 series is a 3 inch center-to-center drawer pull. Those let you match an existing two-hole bore, while the K43 is specified by its overall 3-1/2 inch size.

Nine finishes: Polished Brass, PVD Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Antique Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Paint Black. If you are matching a kitchen or a run of cabinetry over time, the PVD Polished Brass is the one to look at for a brass look that holds up better than a standard lacquered brass finish.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters on a cup pull because the grip edge takes wear from fingernails and rings; a brass body takes that better than a zinc casting with a thin plate over it. The painted black and chrome versions are still brass underneath.

If the shell shape is not what you want, other traditional solid brass options we carry include the Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Pull and the Emtek Alexander Cabinet Pull, both from the Schaub Collection. For a knob rather than a pull on upper doors, the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round knob comes in 1-1/4 inch diameter. Mixing a cup pull on drawers with knobs on doors is common in traditional kitchens.

It is not the part for that. The K43 is a 3-1/2 inch residential cabinet and drawer pull. Appliance fronts need a longer, heavier pull with wider mounting spread, such as the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch appliance pull.

The Deltana K43 oval shell pull is designated for residential use on cabinets and drawers. For a longer appliance-scale grip, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch cabinet pull classified as an appliance pull. For a bar-style grip, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 is a steel T-pull bar with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel.

No. The Schaub 10010, 10011, and 10012 Sabre pulls are edge pulls, mounted at the edge of a door or drawer front, offered at 3 inch, 4 inch, and 5 inch center-to-center respectively. The Deltana K43 is a face-mounted oval shell handle pull in solid brass. They serve different mounting positions even though the 10010 and the K43 are close in nominal size.

Each. The unit of measure on the K43 is a single pull, so the count you order is the count of handles you get. Order one per drawer front and add spares if you are matching finish across a kitchen later.

The Deltana K43 is a shell handle pull, so knobs are a separate item. Orca Hardware offers the Bachelor Collection CK-15030 round cabinet knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, the CK-16030 round ring cabinet pull knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb CK-17025 square cabinet knob at 25mm diameter. A common approach is knobs on doors and the K43 pulls on drawers.

The Deltana K43 oval shell pull is a traditional shell form in solid brass. Emtek's Schaub Collection covers several styles under the same cabinet knob/pull function: the Art Deco cabinet pull, the Alexander cabinet pull, the Bar cabinet pull, and the 8405 Select series. Those give you a range of period and modern profiles if the shell shape is not the look you want.
