MENTOR's range of Chrome, Plastic, Aluminium and Steel Handles includes 50 new designs, added in 2017. Our Handles Micro-site details over 270 Part Numbers in total, the majority of which are available ex-stock and at low MOQs.

MENTOR is the world’s largest manufacturer of high quality handles and knobs. Their eclectic selection of industrial, enclosure and equipment handles offers elegant and functional solutions for any application requiring a handle. It includes hundreds of plastic (some two-component), anodised aluminium, chrome, steel and stainless steel variants to choose from, all with multiple size options.

The handle that a designer specifies often dictates the overall aesthetics of the final product so - as with all MENTOR components - equal importance is paid to both form and function. Each handle style oozes elegance and quality, is ergonomic and comfortable and can be configured to meet any dimensional requirements.

As well as a wide choice of materials, styles include bow handles in both square and rounded cross-sections, recessed and carrying handles, ledge, strap and tray handles, folding / collapsible handles. There are “prop-up”, “spring-back” and “rear-up” handles, front-panel handles and circuit board handles, heat resistant handles and many modular handle systems.

MENTOR’s standard of engineering and finish is truly second to none, with many variations available ex-stock including black, grey (or custom-coloured) plastic, natural-anodised or black-anodised aluminium, vibration grounded aluminium, chromium-plated, shiny-matt stainless steel, silver powder-coat, black powder-coat, silver-enamel, ground and polished, plastic-coated, etc.

Today they have extended their indisputable industry-leading competencies to opto design which they often combine with their electro-mechanical component expertise. As German 1st-tier opto and electro-mechanical suppliers to many automotive and major household-name OEMs, they are highly certified and offer legendary supplier reliability.
