Most Popular Cabinet Hardware

At Builders Surplus, we’re here to help you figure out what works best for your style of cabinets. Let’s start with a simple, yet modern and sophisticated look. In our kitchen showroom, we feature beautiful varieties of kitchen cabinets. One of our most popular cabinets are Shaker styled. It is a cabinet design with clean, pure lines… perfect for any home or apartment. We love to pair it with the Naples collection which you can see pictured (below). It’s a very sleek design and looks great with a simple satin nickel finish. In addition, these pulls are great because they aren’t only appealing, but they are very functional. Almost every customer purchasing our Tuscany series ends up pairing it with this exact pull.

Cabinet Hardware and Color

Sometimes people select their hardware based not just on the style of the cabinet, but also considering the color. For example, we matched this traditional style cabinet (ivory toned with a chocolate glaze) with beautiful oil-rubbed bronze pulls. This color and finish accents the chocolate glaze just perfectly. It brings out the detail in the cabinets in the best way possible. It’s a beautiful combination and that’s exactly what picking the right hardware can do for your kitchen or bathroom.
