The Edge Straight is a sleek aluminium profile handle that mounts along the edge of your cabinet doors and drawers. At 18mm high and extending 41mm from the door face, it creates a clean horizontal line that becomes part of the door's architecture rather than an applied detail.

Where It Fits

This handle works particularly well in contemporary kitchens where you want continuous lines and minimal visual interruption. The anthracite finish provides a sophisticated charcoal tone that complements both light and dark cabinetry. It suits kitchens where the focus is on form and material rather than decorative hardware.

How It Works

The handle mounts directly to the door edge using two screws positioned 160mm apart. Your fingers naturally curl around the 18mm profile, giving you a secure grip for opening doors and drawers. The slim profile means it doesn't protrude far into the kitchen space.

Why It Matters

Edge-mounted handles like this keep your cabinet faces clean and uninterrupted. When you're working in the kitchen, you can move along runs of cabinets without catching clothing or bags on protruding handles. The continuous line also helps visually lengthen shorter runs of cabinetry.

Design Consideration

This handle works best when you have consistent door and drawer sizes, as the uniform 200mm length creates the most cohesive look. On very narrow doors or drawers, the handle might appear oversized. The edge mounting also requires your cabinet doors to have sufficient thickness and structural integrity at the mounting points.

Build Quality

Made from aluminium with an anthracite powder-coated finish, the handle is designed for daily kitchen use. The material won't corrode in kitchen conditions, and the finish resists marking from regular handling. Blum provides a lifetime guarantee on the construction.

Options

This version comes in a 200mm length with anthracite finish. The handle accommodates door thicknesses from 16mm to 22mm, which covers most kitchen cabinet specifications.

Consider whether the clean, horizontal emphasis of edge mounting suits your kitchen's overall design direction. If you prefer your cabinetry to have a furniture-like quality with more traditional proportions, a face-mounted handle might serve you better.
