The Schaub French Farm 264 appliance pull delivers substantial hardware for refrigerators, freezers, and pantry doors. At 12 inches (305 mm) center-to-center spacing with an overall length of 16.5 inches (419 mm), this zinc pull features a 2.5” x 1.25” base footprint — dimensions that matter when integrating hardware into high-end kitchen builds or renovations.
This pull solves the problem of undersized hardware on large appliances. The zinc construction comes in Ancient Bronze (ABZ), Antique Nickel (AN), or Empire Bronze (EBZ) finishes, each engineered to withstand the temperature swings common in Montana homes where wood stoves create humidity variations. Customers rate it 4.9 out of 5 stars across 103 reviews, often citing it as a high-quality upgrade for luxury kitchens.
Installation Specifications and Field Compatibility
The French Farm 264 works with standard appliance pre-drills and most cabinet configurations. The 12-inch center-to-center measurement matches common appliance handle spacing, while the 2.5” x 1.25” base dimensions provide stable mounting across the attachment points.
| Specification | Measurement | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Center-to-Center | 12 inches (305 mm) | Standard appliance spacing |
| Overall Length | 16.5 inches (419 mm) | Full coverage on large doors |
| Base Footprint | 2.5” x 1.25” | Mounting stability |
| Projection | 1.75 inches | Clearance from adjacent surfaces |
| Mounting Hardware | 8-32 machine screws or #8 x 1-3/4 inch screws (included) | Wood, MDF, laminate, metal |
Mounting uses either 8-32 machine screws or #8 x 1-3/4 inch screws, both included with the pull. This dual-screw option matters — machine screws work for metal appliance doors while wood screws handle cabinet installations. The hardware installs into substrates including wood, MDF, laminate, and metal doors, covering most kitchen applications contractors encounter.
Material Performance and Finish Options
The zinc material construction provides durability without the weight penalty of solid brass alternatives. Zinc handles Montana’s temperature extremes better than pot metal or aluminum hardware that can become brittle in cold conditions.
Three finishes address different design requirements: Ancient Bronze (ABZ) delivers a dark, aged appearance that hides fingerprints; Antique Nickel (AN) provides a warmer silver tone than chrome; Empire Bronze (EBZ) offers a medium bronze with subtle copper highlights. The finishes feature solid construction with durable, wear-resistant metal finishes — not plated plastic or painted zinc that flakes off after a few years.
Applications and Project Integration
Professional applications include high-end kitchen appliance handles for refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, and ovens, plus large cabinet doors, pantry doors, pantry pull-out units and drawers. The substantial size makes this hardware inappropriate for standard cabinet doors — save those applications for the brand’s smaller 3”, 4”, or 6” pulls.
For upscale residential and commercial cabinetry with a traditional theme, the French Farm 264 provides the visual weight needed to balance large-scale installations. The pull coordinates with other items in the Schaub French Farm collection for a cohesive look — critical when outfitting an entire kitchen with matching hardware.
The Bottom Line
The Schaub French Farm 264 earns its place in high-end kitchen projects through practical dimensions and proven durability. The 12-inch spacing fits most appliance configurations, the zinc construction withstands daily use, and the included mounting hardware eliminates hardware store runs. Manufacturer’s warranty by Schaub and Company covers defects in material and workmanship, backing up the near-perfect review scores.
Skip this pull for budget builds or standard cabinetry — the size overwhelms typical cabinet doors. But for contractors handling luxury kitchen renovations or custom homes where appliance integration matters, the French Farm 264 delivers the substantial presence these projects demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the actual projection distance from the mounting surface?
The projection measures 1.75 inches, though some sources list 1.1 inches. The 1.75-inch measurement appears more commonly and provides adequate clearance for most applications without extending too far into traffic areas.
Does the zinc construction hold up to heavy daily use?
Yes — the solid construction features durable, wear-resistant metal finishes. With 103 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5 stars, customers consistently praise it as a high-quality upgrade for luxury kitchens. Zinc provides better impact resistance than pot metal alternatives.
Will these pulls work on both appliances and cabinetry?
The pulls mount to substrates including wood, MDF, laminate, and metal doors, covering both appliance and cabinet applications. Installation uses either 8-32 machine screws or #8 x 1-3/4 inch screws (both included) — machine screws for metal appliance doors, wood screws for cabinet installations.
How do the three finish options compare in real-world use?
Ancient Bronze (ABZ) provides a dark, aged appearance; Antique Nickel (AN) offers a warmer silver tone; Empire Bronze (EBZ) delivers medium bronze with copper highlights. Ancient Bronze hides fingerprints best, while Antique Nickel coordinates with stainless appliances without matching exactly.
