Berenson Forte Series Brushed Nickel 18" (457 mm) Center to Center Appliance Pull, -8297-1BPN-P

Berenson Forte Appliance Pull For Large Fronts

Berenson Forte appliance pull gives you an 18 inch center to center grip that spans wider appliance or cabinet fronts so doors open with a full hand instead of fingertips. The pull is part of the Forte Collection, so it follows a consistent design language across the series for projects that use matching hardware on multiple fronts. Its overall 19 inch length extends just past the drilling centers, providing visual balance while still fitting common appliance-width layouts. The pull has a brushed nickel finish, so it presents a soft sheen that coordinates with many stainless and nickel-toned appliances in the same run. Constructed from zinc die cast material, it provides a solid, weighty feel in the hand that suits heavier appliance panels. A projection of 2-1/2 inches gives clearance for fingers behind the pull, which is especially useful on thicker appliance doors or layers of paneling.

Key Forte Brushed Nickel Appliance Pull Details

• The 18 inch center to center drilling dimension lets you align this pull on appliance or cabinet fronts that are laid out for that spread, which supports straightforward hole placement in shop drawings.
• The overall 19 inch length keeps the pull slightly longer than the drilling centers, which helps the handle visually cover the span of larger fronts while still fitting typical appliance panel widths.
• The zinc die cast construction gives the pull a solid metal body, which supports a substantial feel when operating heavier doors and offers a consistent surface for the brushed nickel finish.
• The brushed nickel finish provides a muted metallic look, so it works alongside many contemporary hinge and knob finishes without creating high-gloss contrast on the same installation.
• The 2-1/2 inch projection and 1-1/8 inch width create a usable gripping surface, giving fingers room behind the bar while keeping the handle profile controlled on face frames or full-overlay panels.
• The 1 inch base dimensions define a compact footing at each end, which helps when laying out clearance to neighboring moldings, edge profiles, or adjacent hardware on tight front designs.

Installation Dimensions For Center To Center Fit

This Forte brushed nickel appliance pull is drilled at an 18 inch center to center, so you place mounting holes exactly 18 inches apart along the front for proper fit. The pull length of 19 inches means the handle extends a half inch beyond each hole center, giving a small margin that visually caps the drilled span without reaching into neighboring design elements. With a projection of 2-1/2 inches, the pull stands off the door enough that fingers can curl behind the bar even on thicker appliance panels or front build-ups. The 1 inch base dimensions at each end guide you when checking space near edge profiles, rails, or neighboring pulls on tight drawer stacks. Width at 1-1/8 inches sets the front footprint of the grip, which influences how the pull reads on narrow versus wide fronts in a run.

Using This 18 Inch Appliance Pull In Projects

Where This Forte Appliance Pull Fits Best

This 18 inch center to center appliance pull fits projects that call for a longer handle across tall appliance fronts or large cabinet doors. Its 19 inch overall length works on wider fronts where smaller handles would look out of scale, giving a bar that reaches further across the panel. As part of the Forte Collection, it also serves jobs needing consistent styling from smaller cabinet pulls up through full appliance handles. The brushed nickel finish lets it sit alongside other brushed nickel hardware, so runs of doors and appliance panels can carry the same color tone. With 1 inch base dimensions, this pull suits layouts where end footprints must stay compact near edges, face frame reveals, or integrated trim details.

Details That Support Repeatable Layout And Alignment

The defined 18 inch center to center measurement supports repeatable drilling across multiple doors, since jigs or boring patterns can be set once and used along a full bank of panels. The 2-1/2 inch projection keeps the grip consistently spaced from the surface, so hands can approach the pull the same way on every front in a kitchen or built-in group. A width of 1-1/8 inches standardizes the visible bar thickness, which helps align sightlines when doors are closed in a row. The 1 inch base dimensions keep end mounts uniform, which aids in lining up the pull ends parallel with rails or other linear elements. Zinc die cast construction holds all these measurements in a single molded body, so each pull in a set follows the same feel, alignment, and spacing once installed.
