Appliance Pull Handles

About

Appliance Pull Handles Buying Guide Appliance pull handles are long, heavy-duty handles made for the doors of integrated fridges, freezers, dishwashers and ovens, and for large pantry doors. This collection includes the Nero Mecca 520mm appliance pull in stainless steel and the Momo Handles Bellevue appliance pull in solid brass, in finishes from brushed brass and brushed nickel to matte black and matte white. They suit kitchens with panelled appliances where the handles need to match the cabinetry. What is an appliance pull handle? An appliance pull is a larger, sturdier version of a cabinet pull, built to handle the weight of an integrated appliance door and the suction from a fridge or freezer seal. It uses stronger fixings and heavier construction than a standard bar handle. A regular cabinet handle isn't designed for these loads and can loosen or bend over time, so choose an appliance pull for any fridge, freezer or dishwasher panel. Do I need an appliance pull on my integrated fridge or dishwasher? Most integrated appliances open by hand and need a pull. Some models open with a push or tap, or with an assisted-opening accessory, and need no handle at all. Check your appliance's installation guide before you buy. A tall fridge or freezer panel benefits from a long vertical pull, which gives more leverage against the door seal, while a dishwasher panel usually takes a shorter pull. What sizes do appliance pulls come in? The Nero Mecca is 520mm overall on 416mm hole centres, 20mm wide with a 50mm projection, and suits cabinet panels 15mm to 25mm thick. The Momo Handles Bellevue fixes on 416mm centres and comes plain or with a knurled grip. When drilling, the hole centre measurement matters more than the overall length, so read the centres first. Mark the length on the panel with painter's tape to check how it looks and feels before you commit. How are appliance pulls fixed? Most appliance pulls bolt through the panel from the back.
