The Mountain Heathrow 18-inch appliance pull delivers what high-end kitchen projects demand — solid brass construction, dual mounting thread options, and the weight to handle daily abuse. At 1.16 pounds of solid brass with a 2-inch projection, this hardware matches the build quality requirements of panel-ready appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, and similar brands.
The pull solves a real contractor headache with its dual thread compatibility. Standard 8-32 x 1 inch mounting works for most applications, while the optional 1/4-20 thread handles appliance-specific requirements. That flexibility matters when you’re standing in front of a built-in refrigerator trying to match factory mounting points.
Built for Commercial-Grade Applications
The 18-inch center-to-center spacing and 20.5-inch overall length provide proper leverage for heavy appliance doors. That 2-inch projection gives enough clearance for thick panels while maintaining comfortable grip geometry. The weight tells the real story — at over a pound per pull, these handles won’t flex or bend under load.
Reviews from 103 installations average 4.9 stars, with contractors repeatedly calling them “strong and handsome” and “perfect for our refrigerator doors.” That’s earned praise from people who install hardware daily.

Design Flexibility Through Five Finishes
Available finishes include Brushed Nickel (BN), Matte Black (MB), Polished Chrome (26), Polished Nickel (PN), and Signature Satin Brass (SSB). Each finish coordinates with the complete Heathrow collection — critical when matching hardware across an entire kitchen project.
The Heathrow line scales from 4-inch cabinet pulls up to 24-inch appliance pulls. Standard cabinet sizes run 4”, 6”, 8”, and 12”, while appliance pulls come in 8”, 12”, 18”, and 24” options. That range lets contractors maintain consistent hardware styling from the smallest drawer to the largest commercial refrigerator.
Installation Considerations
Installation requires drilling two holes at 18-inch center-to-center spacing, with mounting hardware typically included. The solid brass construction means proper pilot holes prevent wood splitting — don’t try to drive these screws without pre-drilling.
While marketed as compatible with “most major appliance brands that support panel-ready hardware,” including Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, and Miele, always verify thread requirements before ordering. Some European appliances use metric threading that won’t match either standard option.
Bottom Line
The Mountain Heathrow 18-inch pull earns its place in high-end kitchens through genuine build quality. That 1.16-pound heft, dual thread compatibility, and five finish options solve real installation challenges. Schaub & Company backs it with a Limited Lifetime Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Built for contractors working on luxury kitchens where hardware failure isn’t an option. The solid brass construction and professional mounting options put this pull in a different league than hollow tube alternatives. When you’re hanging panel-ready appliances, the hardware better match the investment.
FAQ
What’s the actual weight difference between this and standard appliance pulls?
At 1.16 pounds, the Heathrow weighs 2-3 times more than typical hollow tube pulls. That mass translates to less flex and better long-term durability on heavy appliance doors.
Do I need the special appliance threading or will standard screws work?
The pull comes in two versions — standard 8-32 x 1 inch threading or 1/4-20 appliance threading. Check your appliance specifications before ordering. Most integrated dishwashers use standard threading, while many built-in refrigerators require the larger 1/4-20 size.
Can these handles work on regular cabinet doors or just appliances?
Applications include integrated appliance door panels, large pantry doors, tall cabinet doors, commercial installations, and oversized cabinet drawers. The 18-inch span works best on doors at least 24 inches wide.
What makes the Signature Satin Brass finish different?
Signature Satin Brass (SSB) is one of five available finishes, typically featuring a warmer tone than standard brass options. The satin texture hides fingerprints better than polished finishes.
How does this compare to other sizes in the Heathrow collection?
The collection includes appliance pulls in 8”, 12”, 18”, and 24” sizes, plus cabinet pulls in 4”, 6”, 8”, and 12” options. All share the same design language and finish options for consistent styling across a project.
