When it comes to kitchens, sometimes it's the littlest things that make the biggest difference. At Nottingham Kitchen Fitter, we've seen hundreds of kitchens across Nottingham transform with just a change of handles or hinges. The right kitchen hardware doesn't just look pretty – it makes your kitchen work better for you and your family.

Over our 15 years fitting kitchens around Nottingham, we've learnt that hardware is what people touch every day. It's where your hands meet your kitchen, and getting it right matters. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace in The Park or a modern flat near the Market Square, we've got hardware options that'll work for your home and style.

We stock loads of different types, from classic knobs to modern handles, in finishes that'll last in Nottinghamshire kitchens. And unlike the big DIY shops, we can tell you which ones actually last and which ones don't.

Kitchen Supply Shop Nottingham

Our kitchen supply shop is where you'll find all the hardware bits you need for your Nottingham kitchen. We've got a massive range of handles, knobs, hinges and more – all displayed so you can touch them and try them out before you buy.

Our shop is where we're always happy to give advice without any pushy sales chat.

"Michael and Emma spent ages helping us choose the right handles for our kitchen in Beeston. You don't get that kind of service at the big stores!" - Jane R., Beeston

We've built up relationships with suppliers over the years, so we can get most hardware delivered to Nottingham homes within 48 hours. We cover all Nottinghamshire areas including West Bridgford, Beeston, Arnold, and Ruddington.

Cabinet and Drawer Hardware Options

The choice of handles, knobs and pulls can be a bit overwhelming! We've fitted over 800 kitchens in Nottingham, and we've learnt what works and what doesn't.

For cabinets, you've got a few main cabinet hardware options:

Knobs - small and simple, good for traditional kitchens
Bar handles - modern and sleek, come in loads of lengths
Cup handles - great for period homes around The Park and Lace Market
Integrated grips - no handles at all, just a groove in the door

For drawers, most people go with:

Drawer pulls - wider than handles, designed for pulling out drawers
Bar handles - same as for cupboards for a matching look
Tab pulls - small handles that sit under the drawer

The best thing about coming to our shop is you can actually try them. We can't tell you how many customers have changed their minds after feeling how a handle sits in their hand!

"We were set on chrome handles for our kitchen in Carlton, but after visiting the shop, we went with brass instead. They feel so much better, and they've given our kitchen a completely new look for less than £200." - Mark T., Carlton

Material and Finish Options

The finish of your kitchen handles makes a massive difference to the look and feel of your kitchen. Here's what's popular in Nottingham homes at the moment:

Brass and Copper

Brass isn't what it used to be - modern brass finishes are tough and don't tarnish like the old ones did. These warm-toned finishes are flying out our shop door for homes in West Bridgford and The Park, especially for period properties.

Stainless Steel and Chrome

Always reliable, these finishes work well with the water in Nottinghamshire (which can be quite hard in some areas). They're our most popular choice for family kitchens because they're so easy to keep clean.

Matte Black

This has gone mad in Nottingham over the last couple of years! Matte black handles look amazing in both modern flats and older houses. They show fingerprints less than shiny finishes too, which is handy.

Special Finishes

We can get aged bronze, antique copper, brushed nickel and loads more. For Victorian houses in The Park or Lace Market areas, these period-style finishes can make a huge difference to how authentic your kitchen looks.

I've got a kitchen in a 1930s semi in Arnold with mis-matched handles that the previous owner had fitted. Changing them all to matching aged bronze made the whole kitchen look like it had been refurbished, for less than £100.

Functional Hardware Solutions

It's not all about looks - the right hardware makes your kitchen work better too.

Soft-Close Hinges and Drawer Runners

No more banging cupboards and drawers! These are brilliant for families with kids (and adults who close cupboards a bit too hard). They've got dampeners that catch the door or drawer just before it closes and guide it shut gently.

We can retrofit most kitchens in Nottingham with soft-close hinges - it's one of our most popular small upgrades. For homes around the Nottingham city centre where noise travels between flats, these are brilliant.

Space-Saving Solutions

For the smaller kitchens we often see in terraced houses in Lenton and The Meadows, we've got clever hardware that helps maximise space:

Corner optimisers that bring items out from deep corner cupboards
Pull-out systems that make use of narrow gaps between units
Drawer dividers that keep everything organised in less space

Child-Safety Hardware

For family homes, we've got lots of child-safety options:

Magnetic locks that are invisible from the outside
Drawer stops that prevent drawers being pulled out all the way
Cabinet locks that are easy for adults but tough for little ones

"After our toddler found the cleaning products, we asked Michael to fit safety locks on all our kitchen cupboards. They're brilliant - invisible from the outside but totally secure. Wish we'd done it sooner!" - Claire P., West Bridgford

Professional Installation Services

Changing handles might seem like a simple DIY job, but getting it right isn't always easy. Our Nottingham-based team can fit your new hardware perfectly, making sure everything lines up and works properly.

Most kitchen handles need precise drilling, and if you get it wrong, you're left with holes in your doors! We bring special jigs and templates to make sure everything's spot on.

For older kitchens (and there are lots in Nottingham's Victorian and Edwardian homes), we sometimes need to fill and redrill holes if you're changing from knobs to handles or vice versa.

We offer:

Same-day service for many Nottingham postcodes
Weekend appointments for when you're not at work
Full hardware replacement service including filling old holes and touch-up paint
Cabinet door adjustment when fitting new hinges

"Had all our hinges replaced with soft-close ones by Nottingham Kitchen Fitter. They were in and out in 2 hours, no mess, no fuss, and now all our cupboards close like a dream. Should have done it years ago!" - Robert S., Mapperley

How to Choose the Right Kitchen Hardware

This is a question we get all the time in our Nottingham showroom. Here's what we tell people:

Match Your Kitchen Style

For modern kitchens (popular in the new builds in Edwalton and Gamston), go with simple bar handles or integrated grip doors. For traditional kitchens like those in The Park's Victorian homes, knobs or cup handles work beautifully.

Consider Practicality

Think about who uses the kitchen. For older people or those with arthritis, larger handles are easier to grip. For busy family kitchens in places like Arnold and Beeston, choose tough finishes that hide fingerprints.

Consistency is Key

You don't have to match all your hardware exactly, but it should coordinate. If you go with brass handles, make sure your hinges and other visible hardware aren't chrome or black.

Try Before You Buy

What looks good in a picture might not feel good in your hand. We've had many Nottingham customers change their mind completely after trying handles in person.

"We spent ages agonising over hardware for our kitchen in Ruddington. Michael suggested we take a few sample handles home and live with them for a couple of days. It made the decision so much easier. We went with the ones that felt best, not just looked best." - David and Sue M., Ruddington

Can Changing Hardware Update My Kitchen?

Absolutely! It's one of the cheapest and easiest ways to transform a kitchen. We've seen hundreds of kitchens in Nottinghamshire get a new lease of life just by changing the hardware.

Last year, we worked on a kitchen in a 1990s house in Carlton. The cabinets were solid oak and in good condition, but the brass knobs were dated. We swapped them for simple black bar handles, and the transformation was amazing - it looked like a completely different kitchen.

For a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen, you can:

Update the style from traditional to modern (or vice versa)
Add a splash of character with statement handles
Make the kitchen feel more cohesive with matching hardware
Fix functional issues like doors that don't close properly

"My kitchen in West Bridgford was 15 years old but still in good shape. I changed the old chrome knobs for brass cup handles and it looks like a brand new kitchen. Cost me less than £200 including fitting." - Amanda J., West Bridgford

Case Studies: Nottingham Kitchen Transformations

Victorian Home in The Park

Challenge: A beautiful period kitchen with a mix of mismatched hardware collected over the years. The owners wanted to respect the Victorian character while making it more cohesive.

Solution: We fitted aged brass cup handles on drawers and matching knobs on doors. We added exposed decorative hinges to enhance the period feel. The transformation was amazing - the kitchen looked authentic but polished.

"Michael understood exactly what would work with our Victorian kitchen. The aged brass handles and exposed hinges look like they've always been there." - The Wilsons, The Park

Modern Apartment Near Victoria Centre

Challenge: A sleek, modern kitchen with integrated grip doors (no handles). The doors weren't closing properly and were showing wear from being grabbed along the edges.

Solution: We retrofitted push-to-open mechanisms so the doors could be gently pushed to open, eliminating the need to pull on the edges. We also added soft-close hinges for a premium feel.

"Our flat's kitchen looks so much more high-end now. The push-to-open doors feel really luxurious, and they're actually easier to use than the old handles system." - James T., City Centre

Family Home in West Bridgford

Challenge: A busy family kitchen with doors and drawers constantly being slammed by three children. The existing chrome handles were showing wear and tarnishing.

Solution: We fitted soft-close mechanisms throughout and replaced the chrome handles with more durable matte black ones that don't show fingerprints.

"With three kids under 10, our kitchen takes a beating. The soft-close drawers have been a game-changer - no more slamming! And the black handles still look brand new 6 months later despite constant use." - Sarah and John P., West Bridgford

We offer package discounts when you buy complete sets for your Nottingham kitchen, and we have interest-free payment options available through our partner Dopple.

For many of our customers in places like Mapperley and Wollaton, a hardware update is a way to buy time before a bigger renovation. It freshens up the kitchen for a few years while they save for a complete remodel.

"We were quoted £12,000 for a new kitchen, which we couldn't afford. Instead, we spent £400 on new handles and hinges from Nottingham Kitchen Fitter, and it's like a different kitchen. We're happy to wait another few years now before replacing it completely." - Rachel D., Mapperley

What's the Difference Between Cabinet Knobs and Pulls?

This is something lots of our Nottingham customers ask about when choosing their hardware.

Knobs

Small, usually round or oval
Require just one screw hole
Often cheaper than pulls
Traditional look
Take up less visual space
Can be harder to grip, especially with wet hands
Popular in cottages and period properties in places like Southwell and the older parts of Beeston

Pulls

Longer, with two connection points
Require two screw holes (precise measurement needed)
Usually more expensive than knobs
More modern look
Easier to grip, especially for people with arthritis or hand weakness
Create stronger horizontal or vertical lines in your kitchen design
Very popular in contemporary homes in West Bridgford and new builds in Gamston

Many Nottingham kitchens mix both - knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. This works well because drawers are generally heavier than doors and benefit from the stronger grip a pull offers.

"I've got arthritis in my hands, so Michael suggested pulls rather than knobs for our kitchen in Arnold. It's made such a difference - I can open drawers and cupboards easily even on bad days." - Margaret H., Arnold
