Chest Handles

A solid chest handle or box handle transforms a plain wooden case, tool chest, or storage box into a properly practical carry item. At the DIY Hardware Store, our chest handles range covers the recessed ring handles, bow handles, and drop handles used on tool chests, wine boxes, blanket boxes, campaign furniture, and bespoke joinery projects.

Ring and bow handles are the classic fitting for wooden chests and boxes - a metal loop that drops flat against the side of the chest when not in use, and lifts to a carrying position when gripped. They're specified in brass, chrome, and antique finishes to suit period and contemporary furniture alike, and attach via a back plate and bolt fixing that distributes the carry load across the panel.

Recessed flush ring handles create a neater profile for cases that need to be stacked or stored compactly - the handle sits within a routed recess so nothing protrudes beyond the case surface. All handle types are available in sizes suited to small decorative boxes through to large heavy-duty storage chests at the DIY Hardware Store.
