Solid brass construction with a fine diamond knurled texture gives this 12-inch appliance pull the grip contractors need for heavy refrigerator and dishwasher panels. Five finish options from Signature Satin Brass to Matte Black mean it works in traditional Montana timber frame kitchens or modern mountain homes.
The knurled texture isn’t just decoration. Diamond knurling provides secure grip when hands are wet or greasy — practical for appliance doors that get opened dozens of times daily. At 2 inches of projection (2-1/8 inches with optional backplate), there’s enough clearance for thick overlay panels without knuckle-busting.
Technical Specifications and Installation Requirements
The 5012A measures 13-1/4 inches overall with 12-inch center-to-center spacing (305mm). That’s the standard hole pattern for most integrated appliance panels. Base diameter sits at 3/4 inch, substantial enough to handle the weight of heavy appliance doors without flexing.

Standard rear-mount installation using provided machine screws. The 1/4-20 threading handles the stress of commercial-grade appliance panels. Optional disc base (5019) or rectangular backplate (5021) available separately for installations where you need to cover existing holes or want extra reinforcement.
Material Quality and Finish Options
Solid brass construction beats the zinc alloy pulls that start pitting after a few Montana winters. Brass holds up to temperature swings from wood stove heat to January cold snaps. Professionals highlight durability and elegant finish options as key strengths.
Available finishes cover the range contractors need:
- Signature Satin Brass — warm tone for traditional kitchens
- Polished Nickel — bright, clean look that doesn’t show fingerprints
- Brushed Nickel — most popular for contemporary builds
- Matte Black — modern mountain aesthetic
- Polished Chrome — classic commercial look
Limited Lifetime Warranty on structural integrity for the original owner. Finish warranties vary. That’s standard for premium hardware — structure guaranteed forever, finish depends on use.
The ‘A’ suffix (5012A) indicates the knurled version, while the standard 5012 model is smooth. For appliance applications where grip matters, stick with the knurled version.
Fits standard residential appliance panels with 12-inch center-to-center hole spacing. That covers most Sub-Zero, Viking, and Thermador panel-ready units. Designed for refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens — anywhere you need a substantial pull that won’t flex under load.
Customer feedback shows aggregate rating of 4.9 across 103 reviews. Key sentiments include high product quality and aesthetics, straightforward installation, and good value for high-end luxury hardware. When contractors rate hardware that high, it’s doing something right.
For Montana’s mix of traditional log homes and contemporary mountain builds, this pull bridges both worlds. The knurled texture reads as pub-house traditional or industrial-modern depending on the finish. Part of the Pub House decorative collection means matching knobs and shorter pulls are available for a coordinated kitchen.
FAQ
What’s included with the Schaub 5012A appliance pull?
1 x Pub House 12” Knurled Appliance Pull and 1/4-20 x 1 inch mounting screws. That’s it. Backplates sold separately if needed.
Does the knurled texture make cleaning difficult?
The diamond pattern collects less grime than you’d think. Brass doesn’t corrode like cheaper metals, so occasional wiping with a damp cloth keeps it clean. The texture actually helps hide fingerprints better than smooth pulls.
Will this pull work on a 36-inch refrigerator door?
Yes. Fits standard residential appliance panels with 12-inch center-to-center hole spacing. Most panel-ready refrigerators use either 12-inch or 18-inch spacing — measure your panel before ordering.
What’s the difference between Polished Nickel and Brushed Nickel finishes?
Polished Nickel has a mirror-like shine that’s brighter and more reflective. Brushed Nickel has a satin texture that hides fingerprints and water spots better. Both are durable finishes on solid brass.
