I just found a website that has handles that look just like the Lansa Handles ( I hope)! I just ordered a bunch because I'm in the same boat - middle of job- some handles already installed - don't have enough! The site is House of Knobs SOLID Stainless Steel European Bar Pulls Collection
When mine come in I'll let you know if they are a good match.
The ones from Ikea are 5/8 inch, these are 1/2 inch. I'd have to put them in inconspicuous places so they wouldn't stand out. I have some people sending their Lansa leftovers to me, so I think I'm good.
thurylime, I didn't get to IKEA today. Do you still need handles?
largojeri1, I just installed some soli stainless steel handles in a kitchen this week. They look and feel great. Much heavier and solid than Lansa (and more expensive). Be very precise when you drill for these handles. They don't have as much "give" as the Lansa handles.
Yes, I still need handles, but I'm going north this weekend and will hit up Ikea
Woodbridge
, VA, and Ikea
College Park
, MD, while I'm in the area. If they don't have them I'll put out a call for help.
thurylime, I apparently incurred the wrath of an IKEA co-worker in
Baltimore
when I asked about the Lansa handles. They have the black ones on clearance and the stainless still are full price, so I asked the obvious question. She smiled that smile that says I'm being nice, but means I hate you while she told me I could go elsewhere to buy them on sale because they weren't marking them down, nor were they planning to in the future. EVER. I heard her snottily tell the customer she was with something about me being an 'expert' as I walked away. I just laughed...yeah, me and my 39,000 friends!
Sorry, I tried.

It's a pain when YOU know the truth, isn't it? I've checked the online inventory of all the Ikea's and they don't have the 9 5/8 inch anymore. They are replacing them with black ones. The black ones are in stock, I've seen tons of them. My nice Ikea rep said nope, the stainless are gone and that's that. The ones on display in the kitchens will be removed and sold, but they're not putting names on lists for those, so you have to be there when they're in "as is" or miss out. Hello? I have a fairly huge kitchen and all but 10 doors have pulls on them. I'm not about to take the existing ones off and pay to replace them--especially when there are drill holes!
It'll work out and I appreciate everyone in Ikeafans that has tried to help me (and others). Where there's a will . . .
Emily (who's snickering at the laughing Ikea rep you talked with)
Yikes, I suppose I could have just bought them for you full price, no??? UGH. I'm sorry. I should have - I was just so surprised to see that the black were on sale and then after I asked about it I wasn't much in the mood to go load up. They definitely still have tons of them in
Baltimore
, though. And
Woodbridge
still had lots a couple weeks ago. I hope you get the ones you need!
