Recessed Pull
Recessed pulls are set into cavities in cabinet fronts, providing grip space while maintaining flush surfaces. Unlike protruding hardware, recessed pulls prevent snags and maintain clean lines. This approach combines minimalist aesthetics with comfortable, practical operation.
The recessed cavity creates shadow lines that add subtle visual interest without actual protrusion. This hardware style works beautifully on sliding doors, barn doors, and any application where protruding hardware would interfere with function or aesthetics.
