Recessed and Tray Handles

Tray handles

These handles are often used in applications where a large, sturdy handle is needed, but with minimal protrusion from the surface. These handles are typically shaped like a tray or a shallow cup and are mounted so that the handle creates a pocket or space for the fingers to grip safely and firmly. This design allows for a secure grip and is often found in heavy-duty applications like industrial equipment, flight cases, and sometimes in large drawers or doors. The tray handle's design offers a stylish compromise between the accessibility of a traditional protruding handle and the sleekness of a recessed handle, providing both functionality and a relatively low profile.

Recessed handles

These are a popular type of handles commonly used in various applications where a flush or minimalistic handle design is preferred. Recessed handles are designed to be mounted flush with the surface of an object, such as a door, drawer, or panel. They typically consist of a handle part that is inset into a cutout in the surface, allowing the handle to sit flush or nearly flush when not in use. This design is sleek, and has an unobtrusive look for safety reasons, as it prevents snagging or accidental catching on the handle. Recessed handles are widely used in cabinets where they are used in busy areas and prevent catching, on machinery, and even in some vehicles where space is a premium and a protruding handle could be a hindrance or hazard.
