BaobabGelmar’s steel barrel handles offer a practical and affordable solution for kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and built-in furniture. Designed for everyday use, this range is ideal for homeowners, contractors, and cabinet makers seeking reliable handles that deliver a clean, modern finish without straining the budget. With multiple sizes and finishes available, it is easy to maintain a consistent look across an entire project.
Available online with delivery to your door or in-store at over 50 Gelmar locations nationwide.
The range includes steel barrel handles in standard hole centre sizes from 96mm to 320mm, making them suitable for both drawers and larger cabinet doors. Available finishes include chrome-plated, brushed, and matt black options, giving you flexibility when matching handles to different cabinetry colours and interior styles. Chrome and brushed finishes work well in contemporary and transitional spaces, while matt black remains a popular choice for modern kitchens and darker cabinetry palettes.
Compared to aluminium alternatives, steel barrel handles have a slightly heavier feel, which can add a more solid, substantial touch to larger cupboards and drawers. This makes them especially suitable for high-use areas where durability and grip matter just as much as appearance.
Whether you are a homeowner fitting out a rental property, a contractor completing a high-volume kitchen installation, or a DIY builder looking for a consistent handle at a sensible price, Gelmar’s steel cabinet handles give you what you need to finish the job properly.
