National Hardware N116-715 171 Pulls in Zinc, 6-1/2"

Big & Sturdy!

Great just what I ordered

I built a custom bed of 3/4" plywood and wall stud lumber, that is one half a split queen. On it I put two of these to aid me in getting in and out of the bed. (I get my ab crunches getting into bed trust me).The handles were easy to install, (mark, predrill, screw onto location). Smooth contours and easy to grab and hang onto. They easily handle my 50 kg yanking on them and should give many years of use. Finish is a nice neutral soft silvery color, shape is good to grab, and the metal though it's stamp/folded (behind one can feel where the metal rolls over, this handle is 'hollow') is thick and sturdy. No 'sharp' edges obvious and the pinch points are so far in under behind, as to not be an issue.At the time I purchased, a good value to item ratio on the price. If you need a large sturdy handle for cabinet, storage door, etc, this will work fine. I cannot comment on weathering as my installation is indoors...[Edit, have bought two more times, to add a few more to the bed, and in a few other places of my house where I need a bit of steadying. There have been a few tiny bits on one that were enough to be 'sharp' but a few seconds of dremel along where the foldover seam is on the underside and just fine to the feel... keep returning to this for a nice solid handful sturdily built and easy to grab.]

But too large

I ordered 2.5 and 3 inch rubber wheels and mounted them on all my recliners and even my couch. Then I attached a handle on both sides. I drilled into the covered wood piece on each side. You do not need to drill. The screws go right in. Now you have an easily moveable recliner with large, heavy duty handles. The type of wheels that worked best for me are the "L" bracket kind. Good luck!

Better than having to drive to home improvement store

I have a heavy wooden entry door. Pulling on the knob was not working well. Installed this above the door knob and works great. Makes my door similar to European style door with door knob/lock and pull. Very sturdy, will see if finish lasts, if not there's always spray paint.

I'm very happy with this handle. It's very well made, good quality and easy to get your hand in to support yourself or whatever you need it for. It also looks good.
