The Edge Straight is an aluminium profile handle that mounts along the edge of your cabinet doors and drawers. Rather than protruding from the face like a traditional handle, it sits flush with the door edge, creating a clean line that follows the cabinet's perimeter.

Where It Fits

This handle works on standard kitchen doors between 16mm and 22mm thick, making it suitable for most contemporary kitchen designs. It particularly suits handleless or minimal kitchen styles where you want the functionality of a handle without the visual interruption on the door face.

How It Works

You grip the handle from underneath, with your fingers wrapping around the 18mm profile. The 41mm width gives your hand a comfortable purchase when opening doors or drawers. The brushed anthracite finish provides a subtle texture that helps with grip.

Why It Matters

Edge-mounted handles like this maintain clean door faces while still giving you something definite to grip. Unlike touch-to-open mechanisms, you always have a reliable way to open your cabinets, even with wet or flour-covered hands. The consistent line they create can make a run of cabinets appear more unified.

Design Consideration

The Edge Straight works best when you can run it across multiple doors in a continuous line, creating visual rhythm. On single doors or where handles can't align, traditional face-mounted handles often look more intentional. Consider how the handle will look when doors are open, as the profile will be visible from inside the cabinet.

Build Quality

The aluminium construction is robust enough for daily kitchen use, and the brushed anthracite finish should resist showing fingerprints better than polished surfaces. Blum provides fixings and backs this with a lifetime guarantee on the mechanism.

Options

This 200mm length is one option in the Edge Straight range. The system is available in various lengths to suit different door widths, and the screw fixing method means it can be positioned precisely where your kitchen design requires it.
