Drawer (and cabinet) hardware

[Devin W]

Anybody know a good source for the type of drawer pulls in the pic below? We're getting tired of banging knees (especially around the bed) on the protruding pulls we have now.

They are push-button rim latches

Some made by Seadog.

Pemko has some available through west marine.

Hafele has some.

You will need to decide if your's are black or gun metal or oil rubbed bronze.

I'll try to dig up links.

Just knowing the brand names and what the latch is called is helpful. I didn't know where to start. I had seen them before and thought it would be easy to find in an RV catalog, but I had not seen any yet. My hardware is chrome and I don't think I'll replace all of it -- just the injury causing offenders -- so I'll probably stick with that (although black or gun metal would look really sweet!:cool:)

We just purchased 3 of these latches as backup for our Vantare. We got them from Featherlite in Sanford. The complete mechanism cost $68 each.
Hopefully you'll find them for less...if so, please let us know.
P.S. Your bus is beautiful!

I am sure Devin's bus is beautiful, but I recognize the interior of the bus pictured. It belongs to Ed Martin a new pogger who just purchased it from us, and will be taking delivery next week.

Here is the link to the Hafele catalog page for their rim latches/locks. Much less expensive.

I believe that my accounts at my supply houses are still active (not like they would turn down business anyway:rolleyes:) so if you are interested, I would be willing to get together a purchase. I need to replace a couple myself and I want to get a few spares.

If you are interested, P.M. me.

I hope this helps.

If you click on the part number at this web site, you get to a pdf of the CAD technical drawing. You will get all the spec information you could possibly need from these drawing. I suggest you get the measure (most of this kind of hardware is metric so measure in millimeters) of the finished thickness of your doors, drawer fronts, closet doors. You will also need to know the diameter of the hole (I think they are usually 20mm on these) through which you will be installing the button. If you don't have these already installed, make sure you have something and someplace to mount/install the latch strike plate.

Steve -- yup, you're right, I borrowed that pic 'cuz my bus has the hardware that sticks out and bites us.

I searched through the catalogs and didn't see the part (I think the login for the link expired so it redirects me to a login page). I did find some stuff on other sites, but they were pretty spendy (as mentioned above). Since I have traditional hardware, the drawers actually have an independent catch. I was hoping there might be an even more affordable version that didn't have a catch and striker -- just a pull that pushed in and then popped out when you push on it for opening the drawer. Of course, I could still use an affordable one with a catch, but I'm looking at replacing potentially 20 or more pcs.

I ordered just the latches from my lumberyard. They are getting them from Hafele. The cost shouldn't be over ten bucks. I'm not getting the knobs as I can use the old ones.

Thanks for the tip Scott. My latches are fine -- I just want different pulls that are flush with the cabinet front so that we aren't hitting them especially in the galley and around the bed. Hafele seems to have some decent recessed options that are pretty affordable, too.
