Schaub 211116 Noho Round Cabinet Appliance Pull with 12" Center to Center and Standard Mounting

Mounting uses 1/4-20 threaded screws, 1 inch long. That is the heavy appliance-pull thread, not the 8-32 used on ordinary cabinet pulls, so the posts will not thread into standard cabinet pull hardware. One inch of screw covers a typical 3/4 inch panel with thread to spare. If you are mounting through a thicker built-up panel or a stainless appliance door skin, you will need longer 1/4-20 screws.

Projection is 1-7/8 inches from the face of the panel to the back of the bar. That is a deep grip, which is what you want on a heavy refrigerator door you pull with a full hand, but check the swing: on a panel hinged tight to a return wall, the pull will contact the wall before the door reaches full swing unless you have close to two inches of clearance at the hinge side.

Back-to-back is for glass or a through-mounted panel where you want a matching pull on both faces, sharing one set of fasteners. Order it as No for a standard single-sided appliance panel or cabinet front. Order it as Yes when the same opening needs a pull on each side, such as a pass-through or a glass door. Both configurations are offered in all five Noho finishes.

The Schaub 211116 Noho is built as an appliance pull, with 12 inch center-to-center mounting, a 12-3/4 inch overall length, and 1/4 x 20 x 1 mounting screws. Standard cabinet pulls carried alongside it are dimensioned for drawers and doors instead: the Trimco 553 Series drawer pulls are 3 inch center-to-center, the Trimco 562 Series comes in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center options, and the Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull is 3-1/2 inch. None of those will land on an appliance panel drilled for a 12 inch spread, and the lighter 8-32 class hardware typical of drawer pulls is a different fastener from the 1/4-20 machine screws the Noho uses.

The Schaub 211116 Noho is a contemporary round appliance pull in brass with a 12 inch center-to-center span and 1-7/8 inch projection. Among other brands carried, the Omnia 1968/102 Modern Cabinet Pull is forged solid brass with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, and the Omnia 1969 Modern Cabinet Pull is forged solid brass with a 1-3/16 inch projection. Both are solid brass and modern in styling, but their center-to-center and projection figures are smaller, so they suit drawer fronts rather than a refrigerator or panel-ready appliance door that needs a 12 inch mounting spread.

Brass is the base material on the Noho 211116, including the Matte Black version, where the black is a finish over brass rather than a coating over steel. That matters in a kitchen or a coastal property where a plated steel bar will eventually rust through at the screw posts.

Shorter modern bar pulls in solid brass that hit a similar contemporary line include the Omnia 1968/102, forged solid brass on 4 inch centers, and the Deltana SBP35, a square bar pull at 3-1/2 inches. If you want the shallower standoff too, the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 run a 1-3/16 inch projection and the Omnia 1970 a 1-1/4 inch, all noticeably tighter to the door than the Noho's 1-7/8 inches. None of those are appliance-scale, so for a refrigerator panel you will still want a long pull.

The Schaub 211116 Noho needs 12-3/4 inches of face to sit on and two holes at 12 inch centers. Where a narrow stile or small door will not take that, single-hole knobs cover the same round contemporary look: the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round cabinet pull knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round ring cabinet pull knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Orca Hardware Blackcomb Collection square cabinet pull knob at 25mm diameter. All three are cabinet knobs and mount on one hole rather than a pair.

The Schaub 211116 Noho projects 1-7/8 inches off the face. Among other forged solid brass options, the Omnia 1970 Modern Cabinet Pull projects 1-1/4 inches and the Omnia 1971 Modern Cabinet Pull projects 1-3/16 inches. Both stand off less than the Noho, which is worth checking against gloved hands or a gasketed appliance door where the extra standoff is the reason the appliance pull is specified.

The 211116 is the 12 inch center version of the Noho round appliance pull. The Noho collection is a full contemporary line, so for a dishwasher or freezer drawer needing a shorter run you would order a different Noho center-to-center and the same finish code, keeping the profile and finish consistent across the kitchen. Specify the same finish letter (MB, PN, UNBR, SB, or VB) on each piece so the batch matches.

Solid brass construction and 1/4-20 mounting hardware are the two things that hold up in high-traffic use, and the Noho 211116 has both. The 1/4-20 post is roughly twice the diameter of the 8-32 screw used on residential cabinet pulls, which is what keeps a heavy pull from working loose after a few thousand cycles. For a multi-family turn, the plated finishes (Matte Black, Polished Nickel, Satin Brass) hold their appearance better than Unlacquered Brass, which is meant to patina.

The Schaub 211116 Noho is contemporary in style with a round bar profile. For a more decorative or period look on the surrounding cabinetry, the Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Pull in the Art Deco series and the Emtek Alexander Cabinet Pull in the Alexander series are both cabinet knob/pull hardware in the Emtek Schaub Collection. Those are cabinet pulls rather than appliance pulls, so a common approach is the Noho on the appliance panels and a decorative Emtek series on the drawers and doors.

The Schaub 211116 Noho is brass with a round contemporary profile, 1-7/8 inch projection, and 1/4 x 20 x 1 mounting screws. The Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-Pull Bar is steel in satin nickel with a 2 inch bar width. The two differ in base metal and in profile, which matters if the rest of the cabinetry is specified in solid brass finishes such as unlacquered brass or vintage brass, both offered on the Noho.
