Amerock

Founded in 1907 by Swedish immigrants Gedor and Ruben Aldeen, and later rebranded Amerock, the company possessed an astonishing 70% of the U.S. market share for retail kitchen products by 1977. The old-world quality and craftsmanship in their knobs, pulls, backplates, racks, and hooks is still alive today. From traditional to transitional and contemporary to eclectic styles in various finishes, there are Amerock hardware and accessories to fit every decor.

The original function of knobs, pulls, and backdrops were to help protect cabinet finishes from finger oils, but today it is about beauty, feel and function like never before. With finishes and textures such as Polished Chrome, Sterling, Weathered or Satin Nickel, Pewter, Elegant or Weathered Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Flat Black, Stainless Steel, Wrought Iron, Ceramic, Plastic or Unfinished Wood—the options are seemingly endless. Then consider sizes, widths, circumferences, and lengths; there is every variable you can imagine and then some. Shapes and sizes are the only variables that outnumber our styles, finishes, and textures.

For remodeling, updating knobs, pulls, and backplates is a brilliant way to deliver new form and function along with an impressive "wow factor" that garners attention. In general, pulls were thought to be for drawers and knobs for cabinets, but there are no limits to your door hardware design ideas with Amerock.
