Appliance Pulls

What’s the difference between cabinet pulls and appliance pulls?

Appliance pulls are larger and more robust than standard cabinet pulls, designed to handle the weight and use of built-in appliances like panel-ready fridges, freezers, and dishwashers. They match your cabinetry while providing the strength needed for frequent use.

What size appliance pull do I need?

Appliance pulls typically range from 12" to 24" or more, depending on the size of the appliance. Check the appliance specs and scale of the cabinetry—longer pulls suit tall panels or integrated fridge/freezer columns for visual balance and usability.

Can I match appliance pulls with my cabinet hardware?

Yes, most appliance pulls are part of a collection that includes matching knobs and cabinet pulls. Matching your finishes and design style helps create a cohesive, high-end look throughout your kitchen.

Are appliance pulls easy to install?

Yes, appliance pulls are installed similarly to standard pulls but may require more secure mounting due to their size and usage. It's important to follow manufacturer instructions and ensure proper screw length to avoid damaging appliance panels.

Do appliance pulls work with all panel-ready appliances?

Most panel-ready appliances allow for custom handle installation, but it's important to check the appliance manual for compatibility. Some may require specific screw placements or handle dimensions.

Should I use the same finish for my appliance pulls as other kitchen hardware?

Not always—many designers mix finishes to add depth and interest. If you choose to mix, make sure each finish appears more than once in the space to maintain visual harmony.
