Emtek Edge Cabinet Pull, Schaub Collection

Measure center to center between your two existing holes and match it. The Edge pull is made in 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch centers, so if your old pull measures one of those, the new one drops onto the same bores with no plugging or re-drilling. Mounting screws come with the pull, so the only thing you have to get right is that spacing.

No. Edge centers run 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches, so 3-1/2 inch and 96 mm spacings fall between sizes, and so does the 5 inch (128 mm) spacing common on wider drawers. For 3-1/2 inch centers, the Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull is a solid brass bar pull at exactly that spacing. The Trimco 562 Series drawer pull covers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96 mm, so it handles the metric spacing on imported boxes.

No, and the names invite the mix-up. The Emtek Edge is a surface-mounted brass cabinet pull that fastens through two bored holes on the drawer or door face, in center-to-center sizes from 1 inch to 12 inch. The Schaub Sabre 10010, 10011 and 10012 are edge pulls, a different part entirely, at 3 inch, 4 inch and 5 inch center to center. An edge pull is what you specify when nothing can project off the face; it does not substitute for a face-mounted bar pull, and a bar pull will not do an edge pull's job.

The Emtek Edge cabinet pull is offered at 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch center to center, so 3-1/2 inch boring falls between its sizes. Two peers land exactly on it: the Deltana SBP35 is a heavy-duty solid brass modern square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch, and the Trimco 562 drawer pull is made in 3-1/2 inch along with 4 inch and 96mm. Either one drops into existing 3-1/2 inch holes with no redrilling of the fronts.

The Omnia 1968/102 is the direct counterpart: a modern cabinet pull in forged solid brass at 4 inch center to center. The Emtek Edge is also brass and is made in a 4 inch center-to-center size, so the two share hole spacing and base material and differ in profile and finish range. If the run has to match on boring alone, either will land on the same two holes.

Mounting screws ship with the pull, so a standard 3/4 inch drawer front or door needs nothing else. The one case where you will need to buy screws is a thick front, an applied or slab panel, or a drawer with a false front stacked on it, since the supplied screws are cut for normal front thickness. In that case you are buying longer machine screws in the same thread, not a different pull.

Six finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4) and Satin Nickel (US15). The US numbers are the standard finish codes, so if the hinges and knobs already in the room are specified US15 or US10B, ordering the same code puts you in the same finish family. Worth knowing on the two living finishes: oil rubbed bronze changes with handling over time, so a new pull mixed into an older run will not match on day one.

The Edge goes up to 10 and 12 inch centers, which is the range people use for appliance panels, pantry doors and tall trash pull-outs. Same profile as the small sizes, so a 12 inch on the fridge panel reads as the same handle as the 4 inch on the drawers below it. If you want a dedicated appliance pull instead, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch pull built for that job.

That is what the size range is for. The Edge runs 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch centers in one profile, so small drawers, base cabinet drawers, doors and the appliance panels all carry the same handle at the right scale for each. For a property manager standardizing across units, that means one series, one finish code and one spec line covering everything instead of mixing brands as sizes run out.

Go to a knob, which takes one bore rather than the two centers an Emtek Edge pull needs. The Orca Bachelor CK-15030 is a round cabinet knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, the Orca Bachelor CK-16030 is a round ring knob at the same 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Orca Blackcomb CK-17025 is a square knob at 25mm diameter. All three grip in one hand on a narrow front where a 3 inch pull would overhang the stile.

They are different parts under the finish. The Orca CK-12001 is a T-pull bar in steel with a 2 inch bar width, supplied in satin nickel. The Emtek Edge is brass and is made in satin nickel among six finishes, including flat black, oil rubbed bronze, polished chrome, polished nickel and satin brass. Mixing them puts a steel pull and a brass pull on the same run, and a plated steel bar and a plated brass bar will not always read identical side by side in satin nickel.

The Emtek Edge covers the long end itself, with 8 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch center-to-center sizes in the same brass and the same six finishes as its 3 inch and 4 inch drawer sizes, so one series can run the appliance panel and the base cabinets. If you want a purpose-built appliance pull at that length instead, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch cabinet pull whose function is an appliance pull.

At 3 inch center to center the alternatives are the Trimco 553 drawer pull and, in a squared bar profile one half inch wider at 3-1/2 inch, the Deltana SBP35 in heavy-duty solid brass. The Emtek Edge itself is made at 3 inch in brass with a contemporary profile. Note that the Schaub Sabre 10010 is also a 3 inch center-to-center part but it is an edge pull rather than a face-mounted bar, so it is not a like-for-like swap.

Brass, both the material and the substrate, not a zinc casting with a coating over it. That matters in two places: a kitchen or bath where humidity and hand oils eventually get under a thin plating on a pot-metal pull, and any pull that gets grabbed hard, like a heavy pot drawer or an appliance panel, where a cast body can flex at the screw bosses. Brass also means the threads in the pull hold up if the hardware is taken off and put back during a repaint.

Specified for residential use. That is the right fit for single-family, condo and apartment kitchens and baths, and for multi-family unit turnover where the cabinetry is residential-grade. For commercial casework in a school, clinic or breakroom, where pulls take institutional traffic and are usually specified against a facility standard, look at a line built for that duty rather than this one.

Closest in character are the Omnia modern cabinet pulls, all forged solid brass: the 1968/102 at 4 inch centers, the 1969 and 1971 with a 1-3/16 inch projection, and the 1970 with a 1-1/4 inch projection. Projection is the number to check if you have a narrow galley or a drawer next to a wall return and need to know how far the handle stands off. For a squarer bar profile in solid brass, the Deltana SBP35 is a 3-1/2 inch heavy-duty square bar pull. The Emtek Edge covers a wider size spread than any of them, from 1 inch through 12 inch centers.

Among the forged solid brass modern pulls, the Omnia 1969 and the Omnia 1971 both project 1-3/16 inch, and the Omnia 1970 projects 1-1/4 inch. That one-sixteenth difference is the knuckle clearance you get behind the bar, which is what decides whether a gloved hand or a full grip clears the face on a heavy drawer.
