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

Three mounting styles are offered on the Keaton pull, and you pick one when you order. Standard is thru-bolt with decorative caps, so the fasteners show on the back side of the panel and the caps finish them. Concealed Surface (CS) mounts from the face with no hardware showing through the back, which is what you want on a solid appliance panel or a door you cannot drill through. Back-to-Back (BTB) pairs the pull with a matching pull on the opposite face through the same holes, which is the choice for a glass or through-drilled door where both sides get a handle. All three are available in both the 12 inch and 18 inch center-to-center sizes.

The 12 and 18 inch figures on the Keaton pull are center-to-center, meaning hole spacing, not overall length, so measure the existing hole spacing on the panel before choosing. If you are drilling new panels, the 18 inch is the usual pick for a full-height refrigerator or freezer panel and the 12 inch for a dishwasher, beverage center, or under-counter unit. Overall pull length runs past the centers on both sizes, so allow clearance at each end.

Thru-bolt and back-to-back mounting run fasteners all the way through the panel, so the screw length has to match how thick that panel is. The Keaton order form takes a door thickness entry for that reason. Measure the actual appliance panel or door slab, including any applied face, and give that figure. Concealed Surface mounting fastens from the face rather than through it.

Projection is 1-7/8 inches on the Keaton pull. That is the number that matters in a galley kitchen or anywhere the appliance sits next to a wall, an island run, or a door swing, since the pull adds that much to the face of the panel. Check it against your aisle clearance and against any adjacent cabinet door that swings past the appliance.

Six finishes, all with US codes so you can match them to the rest of the hardware in the room: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Brass (US4), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). Every one of the six is available in both the 12 inch and 18 inch sizes and in all three mounting styles, so you can run a matched set across a refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher without changing finish.

Yes. The Keaton is catalogued as a door or appliance pull, so it works as an oversized pull on a tall pantry door, a hidden cabinet front, or a barn-style slab, not just on a refrigerator panel. At 12 or 18 inches center-to-center it is a much larger pull than a standard cabinet pull, so it suits full-height doors rather than drawers. For a glass or through-bored door where both faces need a handle, order the Back-to-Back mounting.

Order two of the same part. A French door refrigerator takes two identical vertical pulls, so buy two 18 inch Keaton pulls in one finish, for example 86722US15 in Satin Nickel or 86722US19 in Flat Black for the Standard thru-bolt mounting. If the dishwasher or a beverage drawer nearby is getting the same look, add the 12 inch version in the matching finish, model 86721 with the same US code.

86721 is the 12 inch center-to-center Keaton pull and 86722 is the 18 inch. The trailing US code is the finish, so 86721US4 is a 12 inch in Satin Brass. A bare number is the Standard thru-bolt version; a BTB prefix is the Back-to-Back version, as in BTB86722US10B; a CS prefix is Concealed Surface, as in CS86721US26. Size, finish, and mounting are all carried in that one number.

Brass, both the material and the substrate, so the finish is applied over brass rather than over a steel or zinc core. That matters on a pull that gets grabbed with wet hands all day next to a sink or a dishwasher vent, and it is why the plated finishes like Polished Nickel and Polished Chrome hold up on this part.
