Melbury is a made-in-England contemporary hardware family for Australian custom joinery where precision, grip and clean alignment matter. Its slim cylindrical handles and matching truncated-cone knobs suit Sydney apartments, Melbourne homes, Perth residences, architectural kitchens, butler’s pantries, appliance panels, wardrobes, laundries and media cabinetry.
Seven handle lengths allow Australian joiners and cabinet makers to scale one profile from standard drawers through to tall pantry units, integrated appliances and full-height wardrobes. Match smaller fronts with Melbury knobs, then verify overall length, fixing centres, diameter, projection, finish and cabinet thickness before CNC or workshop release.
Melbury essentials for Australian custom joinery
| Australian project fit | Best for architect-designed kitchens, apartment joinery, butler’s pantries, laundries, wardrobes, dressing rooms, appliance panels and media units where the hardware should feel clean but not harsh. |
| Collection products | Melbury Cabinet Handles serve drawers, pantry units, appliance fronts, wardrobes and media cabinetry. Melbury Cabinet Knobs coordinate upper cupboards, smaller drawers and furniture details. |
| Exact metric dimensions | Handles: 170, 210, 240, 310, 370, 450 and 690 mm overall, with 98, 138, 150, 220, 280, 342 and 582 mm centres. Knobs: 25, 31 and 38 mm. |
Using Melbury across kitchens and whole-home joinery
| Handle allocation | Use Melbury handles on drawer banks, tall pantry units, appliance panels, wardrobes and media fronts where the slim cylindrical form should reinforce the joinery layout. |
| Knob allocation | Use matching knobs on upper cabinets, smaller drawers, bathroom furniture and furniture-led details where a long handle would be disproportionate. |
Metric planning for Australian joiners and cabinet makers
| Door and drawer compatibility | Melbury suits slab fronts, plain panels, slim-frame shaker joinery, walnut veneer and oak veneer. Its softened modern profile works well in architectural homes and custom kitchens. |
| Fixing-centre schedule | Centres are 98, 138, 150, 220, 280, 342 and 582 mm. Confirm the selected centre before CNC or workshop drilling and repeat it accurately across aligned fronts. |
| Handle scale by application | Use shorter formats on standard doors and drawers, intermediate lengths on pan drawers and wardrobes, and longer handles on tall pantry units or appliance panels where the front supports the scale. |
| Knob diameter by front | Use 25 mm on refined cabinetry and furniture details, 31 mm for balanced daily use and 38 mm where larger kitchen, wardrobe or bathroom fronts need stronger definition. |
| Australia finish and material review | Heritage directions include aged brass, antique brass, dark aged brass, bronze, black, satin brass and satin stainless character. Selected Atelier routes include 316L stainless steel, black carbon-coated stainless steel and silver carbon-coated stainless steel. Coastal homes, bathrooms and humid interiors require material review and finish sign-off. |
Australian machining, sample and replacement checks
| Pre-machining checklist | Confirm product type, overall length, fixing centres, knob diameter, projection, finish, quantity, room location, cabinet thickness and fixing requirements before release. |
| Physical finish sign-off | Review a finish sample beside cabinetry colour, timber, stone, appliances, flooring and lighting before approving the whole-home schedule. |
| Renovation-hole verification | Measure existing drilling centres before specifying Melbury in a renovation. Where centres differ, the joiner should confirm whether previous holes can be concealed or the fronts need remaking. |

Where Melbury suits Australian interiors
Choose Melbury for slab-front kitchens, slim-frame shaker cabinetry, walnut or oak veneer, wide drawers, tall pantry units, appliance panels, wardrobes and media joinery where the hardware should feel calm and architectural.
Melbury is less suitable for formal Georgian cabinetry, ornate period renovations, cup-pull schedules or concealed finger-pull details. Those briefs should be reviewed against another Capramont collection.
Australia finish, sample and drawing review
Made in England for project-led interiors, Melbury allows Australian architects, interior designers, kitchen studios, joiners and cabinet makers to coordinate handles and knobs across complete joinery packages.
The best next step is to send shop drawings, appliance-front details, proposed centres and a preliminary Hardware Schedule. Capramont & Co can review scale, finish sign-off, coastal or humidity-related material requirements and room quantities before production.
