Clients have a big walk-in closet. They would like “wire” type, “c” shape pulls on both inside and outside of doors. Problem is, these type of pulls leave an exposed screw head on the back side. Usually this is not seen (on inside of cabinet…), but in this case will be visible when standing inside the closet.
Any suggestions/sources for either back-to-back pulls, or front mount pulls with set screws? I have gone through the Hafele catalog, and have found some possible substitutes, but nothing that is right on. I will also check out Baldwin Brass. I thought hopefully some of the specialists might know where to look. Thanks!

For those who may be interested, I found what I was looking for in the Baldwin Hardware catalog. They have several "invisible" mounting methods, either for individual or back to back applications. Needs min. .5" pull thickness.
Still curious if anyone knows another source.
*Jason DD, I have run into the same problem, What I did was to drill the inside handle screw holes out so that the handle will slip over the screws. Make sure that you take out the set screw first, then slowly drill the hole out, if you have a drill press use it to keep it from grabbing. Then slide the handle back over the screws and tighten the set screw into the screw post sticking thru the door. To make a screw post long enough take a machine screw and run it into the other handle as far as it will go, then take a hacksaw and cut the head off. I found that if you use brass it works easier and will grip the set screw better. If you can't find scrwes long enough use threaded rod. GOOD LUCK [email protected]
