The Long Bent Brass Cabinet Pull

What it is

This pull is one solid piece of brass, bent along its length so your hand finds a soft curve instead of a flat bar. The bend gives it a quiet, shaped look that suits painted cabinets, wood wardrobes and built-in storage. It is sold as a single pull, so you can order exactly the number you need for a run of doors or drawers.

Because it is solid brass, it has real weight in the hand. Each pull weighs 8.5 oz (240 g).

Size and fit

The pull is long and slim, sized for wide doors and drawers rather than small ones.

Center to center is the distance between the two mounting points. Measure your existing holes before you order. If you are drilling fresh holes, mark them at 16-3/8 in (416 mm) apart and check that the pull sits level before you drill.

This length works well on wardrobe doors, linen closet doors, wide drawer fronts and appliance panels. On a standard upper cabinet door it will run most of the height of the door, which is a look some people want and others do not, so check the door size first.

Colors

Three finishes are available:

• Antique brass: a darker, aged tone with variation across the surface.
• Brushed brass: a warm gold tone with a soft, satin grain.
• Brushed nickel: a cooler silver tone with the same satin grain.

Brass is a living material. Antique and brushed brass will shift in tone over time with handling and light. That is normal and part of how the finish wears.

How to fit it

The pull fixes from the back with two M4 screws. That means the screw heads sit on the inside of the door or drawer front, so you do not see them from the front.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Check your door or drawer thickness against the 1 in (25 mm) screws included. If your panel is thicker, you will need longer M4 screws.
• Drill pilot holes at the center to center distance of 16-3/8 in (416 mm).
• Hold the pull in place and start both screws by hand before you tighten either one.
• Tighten evenly so the pull sits flat against the face.
• On a drawer, center the pull on the front. On a door, decide whether you want it centered or set toward the opening edge, and keep that choice the same across the whole run.

If you are replacing an old pull, the simplest path is to match the existing hole spacing. If the old spacing is different, you will need to fill and refinish the old holes.

Care

Wipe the pull with a dry cloth. That is all it needs for normal dust and fingerprints. Avoid wet cloths, abrasive pads and household cleaners, since these can dull the finish or leave marks on the brass. If the surface feels greasy from kitchen use, a dry cloth with light pressure is still the right first step.

Good to know

• Sold as a single pull.
• Two M4 screws and 1 in (25 mm) screws are included.
• Solid brass throughout, not a plated shell over another metal.
• The bent shape means there is no sharp edge along the grip.
• Pair it with a smaller pull or knob on the same run if you want a mixed look, as long as the finishes match.
