Schaub 578 15" Center to Center Atherton Knurled Appliance Pull

The 578 uses 1/4-20 threaded posts, which is the heavier appliance-pull thread rather than the 8-32 used on ordinary cabinet pulls. Because panel thickness varies by appliance, the screw length has to match your door panel; the thread size itself is 1/4-20.

The Schaub 578 Atherton is a traditional-style solid brass appliance pull with 15 inch center-to-center spacing and a 2 inch projection. For a modern look in the same base material, Omnia offers forged solid brass cabinet pulls including the 1968/102 with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, the 1969 and 1971 with a 1-3/16 inch projection, and the 1970 with a 1-1/4 inch projection. Those Omnia pulls are drawer and door sized rather than appliance sized, so they suit cabinet fronts while the 578 covers the long grab needed on a refrigerator or panel-front appliance.

The Schaub 578 has 15 inch center-to-center spacing and a 15-3/4 inch overall length, which is far too long for a standard drawer front. Trimco drawer pulls cover the short spacings: the 553 series at 3 inch center-to-center and the 562 series with 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm center-to-center options. Deltana also offers the SBP35 solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch. Use one of those on drawers and reserve the 578 for appliance doors.

Projection is 2 inches, measured from the door face to the back of the grip, with 1-1/2 inch base posts. That is a full-hand grip, which is what you want on a refrigerator or freezer door that needs real pulling force. Allow for that 2 inches when the door swings next to a wall or a return cabinet.

Four finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, and Satin Brass. All four are on solid brass castings, so the finish is applied over brass rather than plated zinc or steel.

Not on an appliance front. The Schaub 578 is an appliance pull with a 15 inch center-to-center two-post mounting and a 2 inch projection, which gives the leverage a refrigerator or dishwasher panel needs. Orca Hardware cabinet knobs such as the CK-15030 round knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, the CK-16030 round ring knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter and the CK-17025 square knob at 25mm are single-post knobs for cabinet doors and small drawers, not appliance grabs.

The Atherton collection is Schaub's traditional-style knurled line, so drawer and door pulls in shorter center-to-center sizes carry the same knurled grip and finish family. If you want the look from another maker, Emtek's Select Cabinet Pulls are offered in the Schaub Collection and share design language across sizes.
