What is a flush door pull, and when should I use one?
A flush pull is a recessed handle that sits flush with the door or drawer surface—ideal for minimal, modern spaces or areas with tight clearance like sliding doors or narrow walkways. They’re commonly used on pocket doors, closet doors, and cabinetry for a streamlined look.

Can flush pulls be used on both doors and cabinet drawers?
Yes—many flush pulls are designed to work on both full-size doors and smaller cabinet doors or drawers. Always check the product specifications for size and mounting depth to ensure it suits your intended application.
What’s the difference between circular, rectangular, and edge pulls?
Circular flush pulls are often used for sliding or pocket doors and add a soft, modern detail. Rectangular flush pulls suit both contemporary and transitional styles and offer a wider grip area. Edge pulls mount to the top or side of a door or drawer, creating a sleek look without cutting into the face of the material.
How do I install a flush pull?
Flush pulls typically require a routed or mortised opening in the door or drawer surface. Installation involves measuring, marking, and cutting to match the backplate dimensions. Some models come with adhesive or screw-mounted options, but professional installation is recommended for precision.
Do flush pulls work on sliding and pocket doors?
Yes—flush pulls are a popular choice for sliding and pocket doors since they sit flush and won’t interfere with the door sliding into a wall or adjacent panel. Just ensure the pull is deep enough for a comfortable grip and that it aligns with the door thickness.
Which finish should I choose to match other hardware?
Flush pulls are available in finishes like matte black, brushed nickel, bronze, and polished chrome. Match your pull to surrounding elements like door levers, cabinet hardware, or lighting. For a cohesive look, repeat the same finish in at least two other elements in the space.
