The Edge Straight is a profile handle that mounts along the edge of your cabinet door or drawer front. This aluminium handle sits flush with the door edge, creating a clean horizontal line that becomes part of the cabinet's profile rather than an addition to it.

Where It Fits

This handle works on standard cabinet doors and drawer fronts with panels between 16mm and 22mm thick. The foliage green textured finish suits kitchens where you want colour and texture in the hardware, particularly in schemes with natural tones or where the handles become a deliberate design feature.

How It Works

The handle mounts directly to the door edge using screws through pre-drilled holes with 20mm centres. Your fingers grip the aluminium profile from underneath, pulling the door or drawer open. The 18mm height gives enough purchase for a comfortable grip.

Why It Matters

Edge-mounted handles keep your cabinet faces completely clean. There are no protruding elements to catch on clothing or interfere with adjacent cabinets. This matters in galley kitchens or anywhere you need to move freely past the cabinetry. The textured finish also means fingerprints and daily wear are less visible than on smooth surfaces.

Design Consideration

This approach works well when you want the cabinet doors themselves to be the main visual element, with handles that support rather than compete. The green finish makes the hardware more noticeable than neutral tones, so consider whether you want the handles to be a feature or fade into the background. Edge handles also require precise installation to align properly across runs of cabinetry.

Build Quality

The aluminium construction provides durability without excessive weight on the door edge. The textured finish is applied to the surface rather than being inherent to the material, so it will show wear over time in high-use areas. Blum includes the necessary fixings and offers a lifetime guarantee on the mechanism.

Options

This 40mm length suits smaller doors and drawers. The handle is available in different lengths to match your cabinet proportions, and the range includes various finishes beyond this foliage green textured option.

Closing Guidance

Consider this handle if you want clean cabinet faces and don't mind the hardware being visible as a coloured line along your door edges. The textured green finish needs to work with your overall colour scheme, and you'll want consistent installation across all your cabinetry for the best visual result.
