Appliance
pulls (also called Refrigerator Handles, Sub Zero Pulls or Oversize
Handles) have become more popular as kitchens and kitchen cabinets have become
larger. The recognizes style leader in this style of cabinet hardware is
Hickory Hardware Belwith. Appliance pulls are not only installed on your
refrigerator but are also often used on dishwasher panels, for large pantry
doors or on that large pots and pan drawer. Appliance pulls look particularly
good on larger cabinet drawers and doors.
Appliance pulls are often sold as
part of a family of cabinet hardware for an entire kichen. This allows you to
have a complete and continuous design in your entire kitchen. For example, the American
Diner family has a complete suite of cabinet knobs (1" and
1-3/8"), handles (3", 96 mm and 128mm) and the matching appliance
pulls (8", 12" and 18"). This is also true of the Hickory
Hardware Savoy family,
the Williamsburg family
of designs and Hickory’s Studio Collection.
Appliance pulls are installed in the
same manner as cabinet knobs and pulls. An 8-32 (or larger) machine screw in
inserted through a hole in the refrigerator panel or cabinet drawer and is
simply tightened up with a washer. Just make sure you measure twice and drill
only once. And remember, the key dimension is the distance between the screw
holes, not the overall length of the appliance pull.
