Adhesive Glass Door Finger Pulls Where to find

[cvisions]

Ok when I go looking for glass finger pulls at my local hardware stores I receive lots of blank stares and shrugged shoulders. I've tried calling them "door pulls" self-adhesive mirror finger pulls, stick on showcase pulls, knobs, handles, etc...

I went hunting online and found some places that have them but the shipping charges are outrageous for something so small and light-weight. Shipping charges are ranging between $8-$16

Can anyone point me to a source for these that won't try to rob me blind on shipping?

Why not make one yourself ? All you need is some liquid nail and several pieces of beveled glass or plexi.
Just an idea !

That's an idea if I had some small pieces of beveled glass or plexi lying around which I don't. Doors are in place I just want the pulls so they open and close easier.

Some wood then ? Anything to make the pulls I think would work.

They need to be really thin like the door pulls so the don't impeed the by-passing doors

This is what I'm looking for:

Try your local glass shop.
The guy that cut my glass gave me 2 for free.
Told me he sells them for 2.50 each

Great tip fatboy I was just wondering about that last night. I'll give them a call.

hey, i just used to medium sized suction cups...the ones that used to be on my lizard lounge hammock...they work awsome and there basically clear so yu don'
t really notice them on the plexi

craft store such as hobby lobby and get a small piece of balsa and glue it on. you can also find small pieces of beveled glass

I got mine off Ebay, cost about £1.50 TOTAL!
Most of the bits n bobs I needed, except for the wood, I got off Ebay, and I reckon I saved well over 50% on what I would have paid in a store.

I use a heavy duty mounting tape and 1/4 Plexiglas pulls. You could use glass too but any rigid adhesive or glue is going to be more likely to break. For example if you have double sliding doors as I do, it's not unusual to open them and bump the pull on the other panel. With a rigid glue like adhesive, open it too hard and you pull is gone. Been there done it.

Thank you for all the suggestions so far.

Right know I'm using the suction cup idea and it has been working quite well. They are handy, because I can move the location of the suction cup, or take them off completely when I need to (like when I clean the doors)

I may take a stroll over to ebay to see if I can find some pulls that don't have a ridiculous shipping charge added onto them.
