Anyone recognise this wardrobe door handle?

Bit of a long shot but one of the handles on our wardrobe door has snapped and we're trying to find a replacement.

It looks like this:

The wardrobes came with the flat so we're not sure where they were bought from originally. They must be about 10 years old and we assumed they were from IKEA but there's nothing similar on the website.

It doesn't help that they are a bit of an odd design. The right-angle flange that allows them to be screwed into the back of the door is where it's snapped (top and bottom). If they have been discontinued it must have been a weak spot and a bit of a design flaw.

Does anyone recognise them or own something similar?

Help me OcUK detectives, you're my only hope.

Looks like Ikea to me, if you cannot find them on the website they are probably nolonger stocked. You might get lucky going to your local Ikea and having a look in the Damaged Stock area as last time I was there they had huge tubs full of wardrobe parts.

Thanks BigBoy. We need to pop in for a few bits anyway so will check out the bargain bins.

Why not just upgrade the doors

Thanks House, I've had a look but no joy.

If we don't find a replacement soon that's what were going to have to do.

As there is more than one wardrobe in the bedroom it means buying multiple handles rather than replacing a single broken one. I thought it was worth trying to go for the cheaper option first.

Surely you could just get someone to weld it back together

Get a new pair of normal handle and drill the correct holes for them?

There are a few close alternatives on Homebase but none that are an exact match.
