Finger Pull
Finger pulls create recessed grooves or channels that allow cabinet opening without protruding hardware. This integrated approach maintains completely smooth cabinet surfaces while providing practical finger access. The result is ultimate minimalism in cabinet design.
Rather than adding hardware, finger pulls subtract material—routing grooves into door edges or fronts. This technique works particularly well in modern kitchens where clean lines and handle-free surfaces are paramount.

Placement & Usage Tips
Position along top edges of upper cabinets and bottom edges of lower cabinets for ergonomic access. Ensure groove depth accommodates various finger sizes comfortably. Sand edges smooth to prevent discomfort.
💡 Pro Tip
Finger pulls work best with push-to-open mechanisms for drawers—pulling drawers open from recessed grooves alone can be awkward. Combine with touch latches for optimal function.
