How to make plugs easier to pull with vintage door handles
This is a clever spin on our easy to pull plug improvement. It involves sticking a door/draw knob to the back of a plug. It is far easier to make and looks amazing! This improvement is great for the kitchen, where often your hands are wet & dirty so man handling your plugs is not the best idea. With these easy to remove plugs its a breeze and you can concentrate solely on your cooking! Also great for people with limited hand mobility!
Kit
- 1 x 5g single-use foil pack of Sugru
- Scissors
- Door knob
Step 1
Cut open the single-use pack, remove the Sugru and knead between your fingers for around 10 seconds. Then press the Sugru into the base of the door knob and shape it into a small pyramid.
Step 2
Press the point of the pyramid into the back of the plug.
Step 3
Press and smooth the edge of the Sugru that has spread out of the sides to ensure a strong bond and tidy finish.
Step 4
Leave to cure by plugging into a flat socket. If it is vertical there is a chance the handle could start to sag as it cures. Leave to cure overnight.
