Designer handles for refrigerators and other appliances

Refrigerators have come a long way since they were utilitarian white boxes stuck away in corners. Cabinet makers design furniture around them. Appliance manufacturers turn out sleek stainless steel machines that are a design element in the kitchen. Now Horton Brass, a small manufacturer of brass and iron hardware, has taken the next step with its unique refrigerator handles.

Made from solid brass these handles are perfect for both fridge doors and pull our refrigerated drawers. Handles match Horton's line of cabinet handles. The manufacturer says the handles also work with compactors, dishwashers or any other appliance that requires a strong handle. The handles also make a nifty towel bar.

The handle designs are based on an early 20th century hardware design. Appliance handles are available in two designs in bright or antique brass finish.
