Modern Door Handles for Wood, Glass and Appliance Doors
This page groups JWL’s four door-handle families: solid 304 stainless steel handles, solid white oak and walnut handles, glass door handles and appliance handles. Metal handles use a 1″ x 1/2″ D-profile bar, project 2″ (51 mm) from the door face and come in 18 1/2″, 24 1/2″ and 30 1/2″ lengths; wood handles run 12 5/8″ to 30 5/8″. Mounts are thru-bolt, back-to-back or surface mount for swing, sliding, barn, shower and panel-ready appliance doors. Ships from Vancouver, BC.
How to choose
- Start with the door: solid wood or millwork doors take thru-bolt or back-to-back handles; glass doors take gasketed glass handles; barn doors with no rear access take surface mount
- Single-sided (thru-bolt) handles suit appliance panels and closet doors; back-to-back sets put a handle on both faces of a swing or entry door
- Metal handles come in I, J, L, U and P profiles and five finishes; wood handles come in D or Round profile, narrow or wide, oak or walnut
- Check thickness: thru-bolt and back-to-back on solid doors 3/4″–2 1/4″; back-to-back on glass 3/8″–1/2″
- Match cabinet pulls in the same profile and finish for a consistent kitchen

Frequently asked
What lengths do JWL door handles come in?
Stainless steel I, J and L handles come in 18 1/2″, 24 1/2″ and 30 1/2″ overall lengths; the U handle is a 3″ grip and the P pull is a single knob. Wood handles are 12 5/8″, 18 5/8″, 24 5/8″ and 30 5/8″. All full-length handles project 2″ (51 mm) from the door face.
What door thickness do the handles fit?
Thru-bolt handles (wood and metal) and back-to-back sets on wood or solid doors fit 3/4″–2 1/4″ (19–57 mm) doors with the included hardware. Back-to-back sets on glass fit 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass. Surface-mount handles fix to the door face with set screws and need a minimum 1″ door.
Can I use these on panel-ready appliances such as Sub-Zero or Miele?
Yes. Thru-bolt handles mount through the millwork panel on any panel-ready fridge, freezer, dishwasher or wine fridge, including Sub-Zero, Thermador, Miele, Bosch and Fisher & Paykel. Hardware covers 3/4″–2 1/4″ panels and the handle projects 2″ from the panel face. See the appliance handles page for lengths and pricing.
