Abstract: A recessed pull is provided for movable panels such as the front panel of a file cabinet, desk drawer or the like in which the front panel has an aperture intermediate its sides, a trim piece having a groove along its upper and lower edges can be snap-fit into the aperture with the edges of the panel around the aperture engageable in the grooves in the trim piece, and the trim piece has beveled portions along the sides of the upper or bottom edge at the rear of the trim piece so that it will slowly deform under pressure when inserted into the aperture and return to normal shape and size upon engagement of the edges of the aperture in the grooves of the trim piece. A cover element having rear, top, bottom and side walls is provided with a downwardly extending flange from the top wall which engages in the groove along the upper edge of the trim piece in back of the edge of the aperture also accommodated within said groove.
