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

The Spindle appliance pull comes in three mounting styles, and which one you need depends on the panel. Standard is a thru-bolt with decorative caps, so the fastener passes through the panel and the caps show on the back side. Concealed Surface mounts from the front with no visible fasteners at all, which is what you want on a finished panel you cannot or will not drill through. Back-to-Back pairs two pulls through the same holes, one on each face, for a swinging or double-access panel. Order the mounting that matches the panel construction, because you cannot convert one style to another after the fact.

Two sizes: 12 inch and 18 inch center to center. That measurement is hole to hole, so measure the existing bore centers on the panel before ordering. If you are drilling new panels, 12 inch typically suits a dishwasher or a single-width panel and 18 inch suits a full-height refrigerator panel, but the deciding factor is the hole spacing you either have or are willing to drill. There is no in-between size in the Spindle line.

Projection is 1-7/8 inches. That is the clearance from the panel face to the back of the grip, and it is the number that decides whether the pull will clear an adjacent cabinet run, a wall return, or a door swinging past it. On a tight galley where a refrigerator panel sits close to a perpendicular wall, check that 1-7/8 inches before you commit.

No. The Spindle appliance pull ships as a complete set with the screws included. What is not covered is panel thickness: the fastener length has to suit the panel it is going through, so specify your door thickness when you order so the correct hardware goes with the set.

Solid brass, in a traditional turned spindle profile. Brass is the substrate under every finish offered, so a plated finish like Polished Chrome or Satin Nickel sits on brass rather than on zinc or steel. Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is the one to know about: it has no protective coating and will patina with handling, which is the intent on that finish rather than a defect. If you want the brass look with no change over time, Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3) is the coated option.

Nine finishes are offered on the Spindle pull: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Those are standard US finish codes, so if the levers and knobs already on the job are specified as US10B or US15, you can match the appliance pull to the same code across the kitchen.

It is a residential product. The Spindle appliance pull is intended for kitchen and appliance panels in homes and residential units, not for commercial duty cycles. For a multi-family or hospitality job it works fine on in-unit appliance panels, but do not spec it where a commercial-grade pull is called for on the drawing.

Yes, and it matters most on the thru-bolt Standard mounting and on Back-to-Back, where the fastener has to pass fully through the panel and still engage. There is a door thickness entry on the order, so give the actual panel thickness rather than leaving it blank. Concealed Surface mounts from the front face and is the least sensitive to panel thickness.

Yes. It is classified as a door or appliance pull, so the same part serves a cabinet door, a pantry door, or an appliance panel. The two things that decide it are the 12 or 18 inch center-to-center spacing and the mounting style: Concealed Surface for a face-mount on a door you will not drill through, Back-to-Back if you want a matching grip on both faces of a swinging door.
