Where can I get drawer handles?

I have a chest of drawers in my room that's pretty old, and all the handles are snapping. 2 drawers have no handles on them now so I have to leave them slightly open, and it's doing my head in.

The handles have double holes which are about 8cm apart and there's 12 handles (so 24 holes), where can I get handles that'll fit?

Completely OT but there used to be an ironmongery near me called "Fork 'andles". It made me smile every time I passed it 😊

I was going to say IKEA but if it’s an unusual distance between the holes you’re better off taking one to your local B&Q, or making a pencil rubbing.
Don’t suffer in silence though, Tying a loop of string or ribbon through the holes will allow you to pull the drawers out.

My local DIY store sells handles.

If you're wanting identical replacements then the internet but otherwise, any handle will do so long as it's base covers the existing holes.

I've bought handles from knobbles and bobbles a couple of times in the past, they do some really lovely designs and all shapes and sizes.

That's a good idea!!

I'm not bothered about them looking the same as the old ones, I'll replace all of the handles on there. It's just doing my head in, I'll open the drawer and the metal will snap!! It's clear they're been superglued on

I get all my knobs and handles from Carlisle Brass.

not cheap but the quality wipes the floor with B&Q and some are really attractive and period looking. They would easily last a lifetime.
