Extra Long Cabinet Pulls

Where Extra Long Cabinet Pulls Work Best

Extra long cabinet pulls are made for cabinet fronts that standard pulls leave looking under-scaled. A short pull on a tall door can look lost, while a longer handle matches the proportions of the door and gives a comfortable grip at more than one height.

Common uses include:

• Pantry doors and full-height storage cabinets.

• Paneled refrigerators, freezers and dishwashers.

• Tall wardrobe and linen cabinet doors.

• Wide cabinet doors on islands and built-ins.

Shorter upper doors are usually better suited to standard pulls or brass cabinet knobs, which keep small panels from feeling crowded. Drawers are covered separately by brass drawer pulls, sized for horizontal drawer fronts.

Choosing Long Cabinet Pulls by Length

Long cabinet pulls are measured center to center, the distance between the two mounting holes, rather than by overall length. On tall doors, height matters more than width, and a pull of roughly one third of the door height usually looks proportionate.

• 12 inch pulls suit taller base cabinets and medium-height doors.

• 18 inch pulls suit pantry doors and tall cabinets.

• 24 inch and longer pulls suit full-height doors and appliance panels.

Oversized cabinet pulls can overwhelm a smaller door, so the length is usually chosen against the door it sits on rather than matched across every cabinet. Standard lengths for regular doors sit in the wider brass cabinet pulls collection, which keeps the same profiles available across short and long sizes.

Long Brass Cabinet Pulls and Bar Profiles

Long brass cabinet pulls need to stay rigid over a long span, because a tall pantry or appliance door is pulled from one point along the handle. Solid brass holds its shape and keeps its fixings tight where lighter cast handles can flex or loosen over time.

Long bar cabinet pulls are the most common profile at these lengths, with a straight handle on two posts that suits modern and transitional kitchens. Finish then sets the tone. Brushed brass cabinet pulls have a satin grain that hides fingerprints on heavily used pantry doors, and antique brass cabinet pulls suit shaker and traditional cabinetry.

For a brighter, more reflective look, polished brass cabinet pulls stand out clearly against painted doors. The wider brass kitchen hardware collection brings long pulls together with matching knobs and standard pulls for a full kitchen.
