NATIONAL UTILITY PULL - BLACKNational Hardware bar-type utility pull with rounded bow profile for comfortable grip on screen doors, drawer fronts, tool chest lids, shed doors, gates, and equipment lockers. Stamped steel body with black finish for modern, farmhouse, and industrial-style exterior and interior applications; mounting screws included.
- Overall length: 5-3/4"
- Projection from mounting surface: 1-3/8"
- Body: stamped steel
- Finish: black coating
- Mounting hardware: two wood screws included
- Use on: wood or metal doors, drawer fronts, tool chest lids, screen doors, gate panels, shed doors, equipment lockers, large drawers
Installation Tip: Position the pull at a comfortable hand height for the application - typically 36" to 42" off the floor for screen and shed doors, or centered on drawer or lid faces. Mark and pilot-drill both screw holes through the panel; oversize pilots slightly in hardwood and use sheet-metal screws instead of the supplied wood screws on steel doors. For panels thicker than 1-1/2" or for pulls that will see heavy daily use, step up to longer #10 wood screws so the pull anchors into structural framing rather than just the door skin.
Finish Selection Tip: Black finish coordinates with modern matte-black exterior trim, farmhouse-style hardware, and industrial-look interiors where the bow profile reads as a deliberate design choice rather than a generic utility part. For high-exposure outdoor use the coating resists rust well but minor chips can flash-rust at the edges; touch up with cold galvanizing spray or step up to galvanized for harsh weather.
Note: Rated for hand-pull operation, not as a load-bearing carry handle. For luggage, tool, or equipment cases that will be lifted by the handle, step up to a load-rated chest handle line.
