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

Hole spacing is the number that decides it. The Blythe appliance pull comes in 12 inch and 18 inch center-to-center only, so measure the existing holes in the panel (or the spacing the appliance panel kit is drilled for) before ordering. If your panel is drilled at anything other than 12 or 18 inches on center, you'd be drilling new holes. Projection off the face is 1-7/8 inches, which is what you need to check against door swing clearance next to a wall or a return cabinet.

Three different ways the pull attaches, and you pick one when you order. Standard is thru-bolt with decorative caps: the screws pass through the panel and finish with visible caps on the back side. Concealed surface (CS) mounts from the back so nothing shows on the face side. Back-to-back (BTB) pairs a pull on each side of the same panel through shared fasteners, which is what you use on a glass or through-mounted door where both sides need a handle. Each mounting is its own part number, for example 86910US15 standard, CS86910US15 concealed surface, and BTB86910US15 back-to-back in 12 inch satin nickel.

No. The Blythe pull ships as a complete set with screws included, so there's no separate fastener order. What you should specify is your door or panel thickness, since that governs the fastener length for the mounting style you choose.

Six: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Brass (US4), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). All six are offered in both the 12 inch and 18 inch lengths and in all three mountings, so you can match a run of appliance panels and cabinet doors in one finish without changing lengths.

Solid brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters on an appliance pull because the handle takes the full weight of a loaded refrigerator or freezer door being pulled open dozens of times a day, and because plated-over-zinc pulls in a kitchen tend to fail at the finish first.

Go by the panel height and how the pair reads together. The 18 inch Blythe (86911 series) is the one that suits a tall full-height refrigerator or freezer panel, where a 12 inch pull looks undersized against the door. The 12 inch (86910 series) is the usual choice for a dishwasher front, a beverage or under-counter unit, or the shorter of the two doors on a French-door refrigerator. Both use the same 1-7/8 inch projection, so the two lengths sit at the same depth off the face if you mix them in one kitchen.

The Blythe is Emtek's Transitional Heritage style within the American Classic theme, so it sits alongside Emtek cabinet knobs and pulls in that same design direction rather than with their modern or contemporary lines. Finish is the harder match to get right: order the appliance pulls and the cabinet hardware in the same US code (US15 satin nickel, US10B oil rubbed bronze, and so on) rather than by finish name, since the code is what pins the exact plating.

The number encodes all three choices. Base 86910 is 12 inch center-to-center, 86911 is 18 inch, and the US finish code follows: 86910US19 is a 12 inch flat black, 86911US26 an 18 inch polished chrome. A CS prefix means concealed surface mounting and a BTB prefix means back-to-back, so CS86911US19 is an 18 inch flat black in concealed surface. No prefix is the standard thru-bolt with decorative caps.
