Emtek Freestone Extended Cabinet Pull, Schaub Collection

Yes, if your current pull is a standard 3-1/2 inch center to center drawer pull, the 3-1/2 inch Freestone Extended mounts to the same two holes with no new drilling. 3-1/2 inch (and its metric near-twin 96mm) is one of the most common spacings on residential cabinetry, which is why it is the size most replacement jobs land on.

Projection is 1-7/8 inches from the face of the door or drawer. That is a deep grip, good for gloved hands or heavy drawers, but worth checking in a galley kitchen or against an adjacent appliance handle where knuckle clearance is tight. If you need something that sits closer to the face, the Omnia 1970 lists a 1-1/4 inch projection and the Omnia 1969 and 1971 list 1-3/16 inch.

The Freestone Extended Cabinet Pull is a solid brass cabinet pull offered at 3-1/2 inch and 6 inch center-to-center. For a like-for-like swap at 3-1/2 inch, the Deltana SBP35 is a modern square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center in solid brass, and the Trimco 562 series drawer pulls include a 3-1/2 inch center-to-center option alongside 4 inch and 96mm. The Deltana is a square bar profile, so the visual read differs from the Freestone even though the hole spacing matches.

The Freestone Extended Cabinet Pull tops out at 6 inch center-to-center. For a longer run on a tall drawer or an appliance front, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch cabinet pull built as an appliance pull, which covers spans the Freestone does not reach.

The Freestone Extended Cabinet Pull has a 1-7/8 inch projection, which stands well off the face. If clearance in a walkway or beside an appliance matters, the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 are forged solid brass modern pulls with a 1-3/16 inch projection, and the Omnia 1970 projects 1-1/4 inch.

Six finishes, and both sizes are offered in all of them: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), and Satin Brass (US4). The US codes are the standard finish designations, so if the rest of your door hardware is specified in US15 or US10B, the cabinet pulls will read as the same family.

Brass is both the material and the substrate on the Freestone Extended pull, so the finish sits on brass rather than on a die-cast zinc body. That matters on a pull that gets handled every day: plating on brass wears more gracefully than plating over pot metal, and the pull will not feel hollow.

The Freestone Extended is classified as residential hardware. For a multi-family unit turn, a model home, or a high-end residential remodel it is the right kind of part. For a commercial casework package where the spec calls for institutional-duty drawer pulls, look at a Trimco 553 or 562 series drawer pull instead.

Flat Black (US19) runs as SPC86682US19 in the 3-1/2 inch size and SPC86683US19 in the 6 inch. The same base numbers carry the finish suffix, so Satin Brass is SPC86682US4 and SPC86683US4. Give your supplier the base number plus the US finish code and the size is settled.

Within the same modern bar look, ZenSupply carries the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch center to center in solid brass, and the Omnia 1968/102 forged solid brass pull at 4 inch center to center, which fills the gap between the Freestone's 3-1/2 inch and 6 inch spacings. Omnia also lists the 1969, 1970 and 1971 in forged solid brass if you want a shallower projection.

The Freestone Extended Cabinet Pull is made in 3-1/2 inch and 6 inch center-to-center only. For 4 inch spacing in a similar modern solid brass look, the Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass modern cabinet pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, and the Trimco 562 series also lists a 4 inch option.

They are not interchangeable in material or construction. The Freestone Extended Cabinet Pull is brass. The Orca Hardware CK-12001 is a T-pull bar in steel with a satin nickel finish and a 2 inch bar width. If a project specifies solid brass cabinet hardware, the Orca will not meet that spec even where the look is close.

No, they mount differently. The Freestone Extended Cabinet Pull is a surface-mounted cabinet pull with a 1-7/8 inch projection. The Schaub 10010, 10011 and 10012 Sabre pulls are edge pulls in solid brass at 3 inch, 4 inch and 5 inch center-to-center, designed to wrap the edge of a door or drawer rather than stand off the face. Use them where a flush edge detail is wanted, not as a drop-in for a face-mounted pull.

The Freestone Extended Cabinet Pull starts at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center, which can overwhelm a narrow door stile. For those openings a single-hole knob works better: the Orca Bachelor Collection CK-15030 is a 1-1/4 inch diameter round cabinet knob, the CK-16030 is a 1-1/4 inch round ring knob, and the Blackcomb CK-17025 is a 25mm square knob. Knobs take one hole rather than the two-hole boring the Freestone requires.

It is built as a cabinet pull, not an appliance pull, and the longest spacing offered is 6 inch center to center, which is short for an appliance front. For a panel-ready fridge or a range hood cabinet, a dedicated appliance pull such as the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch is the correct part.

The Freestone is an Urban Modern style, contemporary theme piece from the Schaub collection side of Emtek. It reads clean and squared off rather than ornate, so it suits flat-panel and slab door fronts. On heavily detailed raised-panel traditional cabinetry it will look deliberately contrasting rather than period-correct.
