With so many different handles on the market, what are recessed handles used for?
With the absence of a solid arm, recessed handles have one major benefit: they are brilliant space savers. They are designed to work for multiple applications, including on devices and enclosures to provide easy access.
Their ergonomic design makes these handles perfect for achieving an uncluttered, contemporary workspace. The usefulness of recessed handles goes far beyond appearance, however. Do you need handles on drawers but have limited room? So, you require handles on machinery openings but cannot risk them being accidentally opened? Need to install doors that won’t catch on clothing each time someone passes through? There is a simple solution: recessed handles.
Recessed handles are popular options in many industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and furniture manufacturing.
What are the advantages of recessed handles?
One of the major advantages of recessed handles is the fact they can save a lot of space compared to other designs. Their clever design means the gripping surface sinks into unit and provides a flush exterior. They are an ideal option if your work environment has limited space.
Recessed handles are proof that aesthetically pleasing does not have to mean difficult to operate. These pull handles are just as easy to use as bar handles. They even feature a gripping surface to allow a sturdy grasp. To use recessed handles, simply place your hand inside of the alcove and grip the surface. You can then pull to open the component.
With recessed handles, you can be sure that your door, drawer, or cabinet will not be accidentally opened or operated. Unlike with other pull handles, recessed handles remove the risk of unintentional opening thanks to their unique sunken design.
Before choosing a recessed handle, you should ensure that your product can support this type of handle. Some products can only support standard pull handles so it is vital that your product can accommodate a recessed installation.
In the Elesa catalogue, you will find recessed handles of many forms. Our range is available in a variety of sizes, materials, and type of assembly.
