Emtek Urban Modern Mod Hex Appliance Pull, 12" and 18" Appliance Pulls, Schaub Collection

Three mounting methods are offered on the Mod Hex pull. Standard is a thru-bolt with decorative caps, so the fasteners pass through the door or panel and are finished off with visible caps on the back side. Concealed surface (CS) mounts from the face with no hardware showing on the reverse, which is what you want on an appliance panel or a door you cannot drill through. Back-to-back (BTB) pairs two pulls on opposite faces of the same door sharing common fasteners, typical on a glass or pantry door where you grab from either side. All three are available in both 12 inch and 18 inch center-to-center and in every finish offered.

Both center-to-center lengths are offered, and the choice is usually driven by panel height and how the pulls stack. The 18 inch (model 87004) is the common pick for a full-height refrigerator or freezer panel where a long vertical pull reads correctly against the door. The 12 inch (87003) suits dishwasher fronts, undercounter units, and the shorter upper door of a French-door fridge. Many kitchens mix them: 18 inch on the refrigerator, 12 inch on the dishwasher, all in the same finish.

It ships as a complete set with screws included, so you are not sourcing fasteners separately. What you do need to supply at order time is your door or panel thickness, since the correct screw length depends on it, particularly for the thru-bolt and back-to-back mountings that pass fully through the material.

Only if your current holes are drilled at 12 or 18 inches center to center, since those are the two spacings offered. The Mod Hex has no backplate to hide off-spacing holes, so mismatched existing bores will be visible. Measure hole center to hole center on the old pull before ordering and match it exactly.

Projection is 1-7/8 inches on the Mod Hex, measured from the mounting surface to the back of the grip. That is the number to check against anything the door swings past, a wall return, an adjacent cabinet run, or an island walkway. On a paneled appliance also add the thickness of your panel, since the pull is measured off the face it mounts to.

Because the thru-bolt and back-to-back mountings run fasteners all the way through the panel, the screw length has to match the material. Give the finished thickness of the appliance panel or door and the set arrives with the right hardware. On concealed surface mounting the fasteners do not pass through, but the thickness still confirms there is enough material to hold the screws.

Six finishes across both lengths and all three mountings: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Brass (US4), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). If you are matching cabinet knobs and pulls already installed, the US code is the thing to match on rather than the finish name, since names vary between makers.

The Mod Hex is specified as residential. It is a decorative Urban Modern appliance pull for kitchens and baths, not a graded commercial door pull, so for a school, hospital, or heavy multi-family common area you want a commercial-rated pull instead. For single-family, condo, and apartment unit kitchens it is squarely in its intended use.

Yes. It is catalogued as a door or appliance pull, so a pantry door, a tall cabinet, or a barn-style slab all work. Back-to-back mounting is the one to choose for a swinging pantry door you pull from both sides, and concealed surface if you only want hardware on the face. Center-to-center is 12 or 18 inches, so plan your bore layout around one of those two.

No, it is a non-keyed pull with no locking function at all, just a grip. If you need a securable pantry or cabinet closure you will need a separate cabinet lock or a keyed door lockset alongside it.
