Emtek Bar Appliance Pull, 12" and 18" Appliance Pulls, Schaub Collection

The Bar appliance pull is offered in three mounting styles, and which one you need depends on the appliance panel. Standard is thru-bolt with decorative caps, so the screw head shows on the back side. Concealed Surface mounts from the face with no visible fastener on the back, which is what you want when the reverse side of the panel is visible or inaccessible. Back-to-Back pairs the pull with another pull on the opposite side, typical on a pass-through or a double-sided panel. All three carry the same 12 inch or 18 inch center to center spacing, so the hole pattern in the panel is the same regardless of which you order. Screws come with the set.

Two sizes, 12 inch and 18 inch center to center. That measurement is hole center to hole center, so it has to match the existing bores if you are swapping a pull on a panel that is already drilled. The 18 inch is the usual choice on a full-height refrigerator or freezer panel; the 12 inch suits dishwasher and undercounter panels or a narrower door. Both sizes share the same 5/8 inch bar width and 1-3/4 inch projection.

For thru-bolt Standard and Back-to-Back mounting, yes, the panel or door thickness determines the screw length, and there is a Door Thickness field on the order to enter it. Measure the actual panel, including any applied wood or overlay front, not the appliance door underneath it. Concealed Surface mounting fastens from the face and is less sensitive to that dimension.

Yes. Emtek lists the handle type as door or appliance pull, so the same Bar pull works on a cabinet, a pantry door, or an appliance panel. It is non-keyed and has no lock function of its own, so on a door it is pull-only, and you would need a separate latch or catch if the door has to stay closed.

Seven finishes are offered on the Bar appliance pull, given with their US codes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Those US codes are the standard finish designations, so ordering by code is the reliable way to match what is already hanging on the cabinets or the passage sets. One caution on Unlacquered Brass: it is a living finish and darkens over time, so a new pull will not match an older unlacquered piece until it has aged in.

Emtek classifies the Bar appliance pull as residential hardware. For a multi-family unit kitchen or a model apartment it is appropriate, but for a high-traffic commercial opening or an institutional facility standardizing on graded hardware, this is not the category to be shopping in. Look at commercial door pulls instead.

Sold as a complete set with screws included. One order line covers the pull and its mounting hardware, so there is no separate fastener pack to add. If you are ordering the Back-to-Back mounting, that configuration is the one that puts a pull on each face.

It is a contemporary bar profile, a plain round-section brass bar 5/8 inch across with no knurling, collar detail, or turned ends. On a shaker or traditional kitchen it can still work if the finish carries the room, Oil Rubbed Bronze or Unlacquered Brass rather than Polished Chrome, but the shape itself is a clean modern line.
