Schaub 214 15" Center to Center Northport Round Appliance Pull

The Northport 214 appliance pull drills on 15 inch centers, with a 16 inch overall length. If your panel or appliance door is already bored at 15 inches center to center, it drops straight onto the existing holes. Anything other than 15 inches means new holes or a different pull, since the posts are fixed.

It takes 1/4-20 machine screws, which is the heavier appliance-pull thread rather than the 8-32 used on standard cabinet pulls. Worth knowing if you are reusing hardware from a smaller pull, the old 8-32 screws will not thread into this one, and screw length has to suit the thickness of the appliance panel or drawer front you are mounting through.

Projection is 1-7/8 inches, measured from the face of the door out to the center of the grip, with a 1-3/8 inch base. That is a deep enough standoff for a full-hand grip on a heavy refrigerator or freezer panel, and it is also the number to check against adjacent walls, door swings, and appliance clearances in a tight galley run.

They are different parts for different jobs. The Schaub 214 Northport is an appliance pull on 15 inch center-to-center spacing with a 16 inch overall length and 1-7/8 inch projection, sized for refrigerator and panel-front appliance doors. The Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull is a cabinet knob/pull from the Bar series, intended for cabinet doors and drawers. If you are replacing hardware on an appliance panel and matching existing 15 inch bore centers, the 214 is the one that fits; the Emtek Bar pull is the choice when you are doing the surrounding cabinetry.

Eight finishes: Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Ancient Bronze, Brushed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Polished Nickel, and Signature Satin Brass. If you are matching a whole kitchen, the smaller Northport pulls and knobs run the same finish program, so the appliance pull can be specified to match the cabinet hardware.

The base material is zinc, finished in one of eight plated or coated options. Solid brass is a different construction; if the spec on your job calls for forged solid brass, look at something like the Omnia 1968 or 1969 cabinet pull series instead, which are forged solid brass.

The Schaub 214 Northport appliance pull uses a zinc base material. If solid brass is a project requirement, the Deltana SBP35 modern square bar pull is heavy-duty solid brass at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center, and the Omnia 1968/102 is forged solid brass at 4 inch center-to-center. Both are short cabinet-scale pulls rather than appliance-length hardware, so they will not span the 15 inch bore centers the 214 is drilled for.

The Schaub 214 Northport stands off 1-7/8 inch from the panel. For a lower-profile look, the Omnia 1970 modern cabinet pull projects 1-1/4 inch, and the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 both project 1-3/16 inch, all in forged solid brass. Note these are cabinet-scale pulls, so check the center-to-center spacing against your existing holes before you commit.

Northport is a round bar profile in Schaub's transitional styling, so it sits between a plain modern tube and an ornate traditional pull. In a shaker or transitional kitchen it reads correctly with either. For a strictly modern look, a square bar profile such as the Deltana SBP series or the Emtek Bar cabinet pull is the closer match.

The 214 belongs to Schaub's Northport collection, so the other Northport pulls and knobs are the direct match for cabinet doors and drawers in the same finish. Schaub designs are also carried under the Emtek SELECT Schaub Collection, which includes Alexander, Art Deco, and Bar profiles if you want a coordinating but different shape elsewhere in the room.

The Schaub 214 Northport is a round appliance pull, not a knob. For knobs, the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection offers a round cabinet knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter and a round ring knob at the same 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb Collection offers a square knob at 25mm diameter. Those single-screw knobs take one bore; the 214 needs two holes on 15 inch centers and uses 1/4-20 screws.
