Perfect, retro handles.

I have been renovating an early 60s whitewood, kitchen cupboard, with sliding, glass doors. The original, plastic, flush fitting handles were brittle with age and UV exposure and falling apart. I wanted something similar, but with a more classy finish, a bit of a tall order I thought. After trawling the Internet, I found precisely what I wanted, at SDS. I'd go as far as saying that they are perfect; virtually identical in shape to the originals but in a lovely, polished nickel finish that lifts and enhances the doors, whilst maintaining the original, vintage look. Thank you SDS, I'll be buying another pair for a further cupboard that I'm renovating.

Hi Mark,

Thank you so much for your fantastic review, we absolutely loved reading this!

It’s great to hear the detail behind your project, and what a brilliant way to restore an early 60s cupboard while keeping its original character. Finding something that matches the original design and elevates the finish isn’t always easy, so we’re delighted you found exactly what you were looking for with us.

Polished nickel is such a great choice for that subtle, refined upgrade while still staying true to the vintage feel – it sounds like the perfect result.

We really appreciate your kind words and are so pleased to hear you’ll be coming back for another pair. If you need any help with the next cupboard (or anything else!), we’re always here to help.

Thanks again for choosing SDS London!

Best regards,
Samantha Thatcher

The item is very light and well engineered

The item was well packed, is light and very easy to use.
My problem was with delivery. I specifically asked the delivery company to leave the package in my greenhouse if not in. I was not, and it was left propped against the wall by my front door. Not good at all.

Ann,

Thank you for your review – we’re really pleased to hear that you found the item well packed, lightweight, and easy to use.

We’re very sorry to hear about your delivery experience. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been for your instructions not to be followed, especially when you had clearly requested a safe place for the parcel. Unfortunately, once an order leaves us, delivery is handled by the courier.

We will pass this feedback on to the delivery company to help prevent this from happening again. In the meantime, if you’d like us to look into this further for you, please feel free to get in touch with me directly.

Kind regards,
Samantha Thatcher

SDS London outstanding value and service

SDS London are outstanding - great fast delivery and items exactly how described.
Unbelievable value - purchased 2 shelf supports from Amazon previously for over £7:50. Purchased a further 18 identical supports from SDS London for just over £20:00. Absolutely no comparison - will definitely use SDS London in future for all my hardware requirements. Cannot recommend highly enough.
