bydavidrosen Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hey All, Just got my first cabinet from RecRoomMasters, and finally getting all set up after years of saying I was going to do it myself haha. Anyway, now that I am, I'm realizing, they really should have put a handle on the keyboard door. Not that you have to go in there that often, but there's just no where to really grip to get the thing open. I was wondering if anyone in here has added one themselves to one of their cabinets or a similar cabinet? There's plenty of options at Home Depot and I'll probably just pick something that looks nice, but I figured might as well check and see if anyone has any input. Thanks!

dragon57 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I know what you mean. It is tough to grab on to that door. I can get it open because I have big hands and can grab it along the top and bottom and pull the top down, but it takes some effort and I do slip off the top at times. Like you, I have thought of installing a handle, but haven't found anything that doesn't look like a sore thumb tacked on to the front of the cab. If you find something that looks good, I would definitely be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodboyparker Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I don't have that cabinet, but is it possible to drill a hole in the drawer front? - just to give a finger hole to pull the drawer open. You would have to paint the exposed wood, or break out a black sharpie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bydavidrosen Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Took me a while to grow a pair and put a drill through my keyboard door (I was so worried about messing this thing up), but it came out PERFECT. I was between this clean, simple black knob, a sleek black handle I found at Lowes, or a sleek red handle I found on Amazon but in the end, I figured that this one would blend in more (plus I have a TV cabinet in the room with knobs just like this so I thought it would match with the other furniture in the room). Makes opening the door so much easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Looks great. I have always thought about handles, but now I see that I need to start looking at knobs options too. Thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorkled Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Just drill a finger sized hole in the top right or left corner of the drawer front. Hit it with a couple coats of flat black paint from a spray can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
