Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull, Schaub Collection

Ten center-to-center spacings: 3", 3-1/2", 4", 5", 6", 8", 10", 12", 16" and 24". That range covers a small drawer bank at 3" or 3-1/2" right through to appliance-panel and tall pantry doors at 16" and 24". Center-to-center is the distance between the two mounting holes, so measure your existing bore spacing and match it exactly if you are swapping pulls into drilled fronts.

Seven finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Those are standard US finish codes, so a US26 or US15 pull will read the same as US26 or US15 door hardware from the same maker. Unlacquered brass is the exception, since it is left to age and no two installs stay identical over time.

The Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull is a heavy-duty solid brass bar pull at 3-1/2 inch center to center, in Deltana's SBP series. The Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull is brass and covers 3-1/2 inch within a center-to-center range that runs from 3 inch up to 12 inch, so the Emtek gives one profile across many drawer and door widths while the Deltana SBP35 is a square-profile bar fixed at the single 3-1/2 inch spacing. If cabinet boxes are already drilled on 3-1/2 inch centers and the design intent is a squared bar rather than a round one, the SBP35 lands on the same hole pattern.

The Omnia 1968/102 Modern Cabinet Pull is forged solid brass with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, from Omnia's 1968 Cabinet Pulls series. That matches the 4 inch spacing carried in the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull range, which is brass and spans 3 inch to 12 inch centers. For a kitchen or vanity job where the drawer fronts are bored at 4 inch and the specifier wants forged brass from the Omnia line, the 1968/102 drops onto the same two holes.

The Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is a 3 inch center-to-center pull, and the Trimco 562 Series drawer pull is offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center options. The Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull carries 3 inch, 3-1/2 inch, and 4 inch among its center-to-center sizes, so the Trimco 553 lines up with the 3 inch Emtek and the Trimco 562 lines up with the 3-1/2 inch and 4 inch. The 96mm option in the 562 series is the one spacing the Emtek Bar range does not mirror, which matters on European-bored casework.

No. The Schaub 10010, 10011, and 10012 Sabre pulls are edge pulls, at 3 inch, 4 inch, and 5 inch center to center respectively. An edge pull mounts at the edge of the door or drawer front and is gripped from behind the lip, which is a different mounting condition from a surface-mounted cabinet pull like the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull. The center-to-center figures overlap with the Emtek range, but the two are not interchangeable in the same bore without changing where the hardware sits on the front.

Emtek lists the Bar pull as residential. For a high-turnover multi-family kitchen or a commercial millwork package, a steel bar pull like the Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-Pull Bar is the harder-wearing route. The Emtek is the right call for owner-occupied kitchens, baths and custom millwork where the finish and the brass body matter more than abuse resistance.

Mounting screws ship with the pull. What is not included is anything for oversized panels: if you are mounting to a thick applied drawer front or a false front with a filler behind it, you may need longer machine screws than the standard 8-32 hardware supplied.

Bar pulls give two points of contact and a wider grip, so they suit drawers, especially deep or heavy ones, and full-height doors. Knobs are a single fastener and a smaller footprint, better on upper doors and narrow stiles. If you want knobs on the doors and bars on the drawers, the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round knob at 1-1/4" diameter is a plain contemporary pairing. On a deep pot drawer, go up to the 8", 10" or 12" Emtek Bar so the pull reads proportional to the front.

Contemporary, a plain round bar in brass. Close alternatives ZenSupply carries include the Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull at 3-1/2" in solid brass if you want a squared profile instead of round, and the Omnia 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971 Modern Cabinet Pulls in forged solid brass. Among the Omnias, the 1969 and 1971 carry a 1-3/16" projection and the 1970 a 1-1/4" projection, which matters if the pull sits in a walkway or beside an appliance handle.

The long sizes are what you want for a panel-ready appliance. Emtek offers the Bar in 16" and 24" center-to-center, which is the range appliance panels normally take. Purpose-built appliance pulls are the other route, for example the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8" pull. Check the hole spacing your panel is drilled for before choosing between them.

A surface-mounted bar pull projects off the face, so in a tight galley or a passage it will catch clothing. An edge pull is the alternative: the Schaub Sabre edge pulls come in 3" (10010), 4" (10011) and 5" (10012) center-to-center and mount at the edge of the door or drawer rather than the face. Use the Emtek Bar where there is clearance, and the edge pull where there is not.

Three Omnia modern pulls state projection directly: the Omnia 1969 and the Omnia 1971 are each forged solid brass with 1-3/16 inch projection, and the Omnia 1970 is forged solid brass with 1-1/4 inch projection. Those numbers are the standoff from the drawer face to the back of the bar. Where a gloved hand or a tight galley aisle makes standoff the deciding dimension, the 1970 sits the furthest of the three off the face and the 1969 and 1971 sit at the same 1-3/16 inch. All three are forged solid brass, the same material family as the brass Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull.

The Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-Pull Bar is steel with a 2 inch bar width, in satin nickel, from Orca's 12-Bar Pull series. The Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull is brass and is a residential-rated cabinet pull offered in seven finishes including Satin Nickel (US15). A property manager standardizing cabinet pulls across many units where the substrate matters more than the finish range would compare the steel CK-12001 against the brass Emtek; where the job needs one bar profile in several center-to-center sizes and multiple finishes, the Emtek covers 3 inch to 12 inch centers.

They share the 8 inch dimension but not the application. The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch pull is an appliance pull, sized and built for refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher panels, where the pull carries the weight of a heavy door on every cycle. The Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull is a cabinet pull, and 8 inch is one of its center-to-center sizes alongside 10 inch, 12 inch, 16 inch, and 24 inch. On a panel-ready appliance the Schaub 79-8 is the part written for that duty; on cabinet doors and drawers the Emtek Bar is the cabinet-pull equivalent at the same nominal size.

Three Orca Hardware knobs cover that case: the CK-15030 Bachelor Collection round cabinet pull knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, the CK-16030 Bachelor Collection round ring cabinet pull knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the CK-17025 Blackcomb Collection square cabinet pull knob at 25mm diameter. All three are cabinet knobs, so they set on one screw hole rather than the two-hole pattern a bar pull requires. That is the trade to understand before ordering: swapping an Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull, which spans 3 inch to 12 inch centers, for one of these knobs leaves an unused hole unless the fronts are new or being redrilled.

Seven finishes and ten center-to-center sizes are offered, so a single finish can run across a mixed cabinet layout of small drawers, base doors and tall pantry fronts. Spec the finish once, then order by size per opening. For a whole-house or multi-unit package this is the practical way to keep the kitchen, bath vanities and laundry millwork matching.
