With leather handles, you can breathe new life into the kitchen, the old chest of drawers or the newly painted cupboard. Leather is a luxurious material that fits well into Scandinavian interior design, where a simple and natural interior is gaining more and more popularity.
Leather handles in all sizes
We have handles in standard sizes, but if these do not fit your furniture, we are happy to custom-make handles for your needs. We just need to know the thickness of the cabinet door and the distance between the holes. When measuring the distance between the holes, you should measure from the center to the center of the two holes. If you are unsure which size you need or would like a custom-made solution, please feel free to call us or send an email.
If you have problems assembling the handles, you can advantageously read our DIY guide, where we show how the leather handles are assembled.
Production and delivery time for full-grain leather handles
If you order before 2:00 PM, we will ship the same day. If you order after 2:00 PM, we will dispatch your order on the next working day. All orders are typically delivered on the working day after we have dispatched them.
Renew your kitchen - with us you will find leather handles for cabinets, doors and drawers
We often find that our leather handles are used for modernizing kitchens, where the old kitchen handles are replaced with leather handles. By painting and buying new leather handles for the kitchen doors, you can, with relatively few resources, breathe new life into an older kitchen. We have two different handles that are extremely suitable as kitchen handles. Our LOOP handle, which is mounted with one screw, and our BAND handle, which is mounted with 2 screws. If you want to mount our handles on old doors that already have two pre-drilled holes, our standard-sized BAND handles will typically fit. Our BAND handles are available in the six most common sizes and fit holes where the distance is 64, 96, 128, 160, 192 and 224 mm. If our standard handles do not fit, we also make custom-sized leather handles that are adapted to your specific measurements.
Leather handles for kitchen doors and cabinets
Our leather handles have both a simple and modern look, while also functioning perfectly as handles for cabinets and drawers. So, if you are considering replacing old cabinet handles, we are ready with new leather handles that can be custom-made to your specific measurements.
In addition to renewing kitchen doors and drawers, our leather handles are also extremely suitable for other rooms in the household. For example, if you have taken over an older house with beautiful old cabinets, doors, and dressers, but where the existing cabinet handles, drawer handles, and door handles are worn out, these can easily be replaced with new leather handles.
When restoring old furniture, it can be difficult to find handles and knobs that perfectly match the old piece of furniture. At byRavn, we can custom-make the leather handle to fit your exact measurements, making it easy to find new handles for cabinets where the old handles are not standard sizes.
Child-friendly leather handles
If there are little ones in the household, handles at head height can cause bumps and scrapes. With leather handles, you ensure that the youngest members of the family do not get hurt if they walk into the handle.
A little about the leather
The handles are made of strong Italian full-grain leather. The leather is 2.5 – 3.0 mm thick, which ensures that the handle can withstand significant wear. In the development of our handles, it has been crucial for us that the handles not only look good in the home decor, but also that they are functional and robust. This is precisely why the handles are produced in strong leather, which means that the handles are suitable for mounting in kitchens, where there is particularly high wear and tear on the handles. This is because kitchen cabinets and drawers open and close many times daily, but also because the handles placed on refrigerators and dishwashers are particularly exposed to heavy loads. With our handles in strong leather, you can safely replace old steel handles with leather handles, without worrying about whether the leather handles will withstand the heavy load.
Choose the right color for your leather handles
Our leather handles are available in the following four colors: natural, black, cognac, and dark brown. When choosing the right color, it's important to know a little about how leather changes over time. Especially the light "natural" leather will change as it develops a patina. While the black, cognac-colored, and dark brown leather is dyed, the "natural" colored leather is untreated and therefore much more susceptible to touch, grease, and sunlight, all of which contribute to giving the leather a beautiful and warm patina. We have conducted a study, which is described in this article. Here we show how the light leather changes over time, while the other colors retain their shade.
6 different screws for mounting leather handles
When you buy leather handles from us, you also need to decide which screw to mount the handles with. We have screws in the following three colors: brass, steel, and black, and we offer each color in two different models. We have a high and a low screw. It can be difficult to explain the difference between a high and a low screw, but we have tried to illustrate it in the image archive under each handle. Overall, the difference is purely cosmetic. The low screw sits close to the leather, while the high screw protrudes more. It is purely a matter of taste whether you prefer one over the other.
All our screws fit standard sizes. To mount the screws, pre-drilled holes with a diameter of 5 mm are required. If holes are already drilled but are too small, you can easily enlarge them by simply taking a 5 mm drill bit and making the holes slightly larger.
Provide precise measurements of cabinet and door thickness
When ordering the leather handles, we need to know the thickness of the door or drawer on which the handle is to be mounted. It is important to provide exact measurements (+/- 1-2 millimeters). We include screws that fit your furniture precisely, ensuring that you receive screws that do not protrude on the back. With screws of the correct size, you are assured of an installation that looks professional on both the front and back. At the same time, no screw will protrude on the back, which you could get caught on or scratched by.
Wall mounting
As a rule, we include screws (in technical terms, this is a bolt - which cannot be screwed into a wall) which can only be mounted on cabinets and drawers. If you wish to mount the leather handle on a wall or a very thick object (more than 5 cm), we are happy to send self-tapping screws and rawlplugs instead of our standard screws. In the field where we ask you to state the thickness of the cabinet door, simply note that the handle should be mounted on a wall. When we receive this message, we will automatically send screws that can be mounted on a wall.
