Emtek Jasper Cabinet Finger Pull, Schaub Collection

Emtek classes the Jasper as residential cabinet hardware. It's a good fit for multi-family unit kitchens, model units, and light-duty millwork. For heavy-traffic commercial casework where hardware gets yanked all day, a larger appliance-style or bar pull with two mounting posts takes the abuse better, such as the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch pull or the Deltana SBP35 heavy-duty solid brass square bar pull.

The Emtek Jasper 86699 finger pull is a brass finger pull 1/2 inch wide with a 1-3/8 inch projection. If the door or drawer front needs a pull mounted on center-to-center screw spacing instead, the Schaub Sabre edge pull line covers 3 inch, 4 inch, and 5 inch center-to-center in the 10010, 10011, and 10012 respectively. Those are edge pulls, so they mount along the edge of the panel rather than sitting as a small finger recess on the face.

The Emtek Jasper 86699 is a 2 inch brass finger pull, sized for a small door or a narrow drawer. On a wide drawer front, a bar pull carries the grip better: the Deltana SBP35 is a heavy-duty solid brass modern square bar pull at 3-1/2 inches, and the Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass modern cabinet pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing. Both are solid brass like the Jasper, so a brass-finish kitchen can run the finger pull on the small doors and the bar pull on the drawer banks.

The Emtek Jasper 86699 finger pull is specified for residential use. For a commercial casework or millwork drawer, the Trimco drawer pull series are the peers to look at: the 553 series is offered at 3 inch center-to-center, and the 562 series is offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center. Both mount on two-hole center spacing, so the drawer front is drilled for a pair of screws rather than for a finger pull.

Projection is 1-3/8 inches. That matters in a galley kitchen or a tight hallway run of cabinets where hips and pockets catch on hardware, and it matters on a drawer bank next to a perpendicular wall. For comparison, the Omnia 1969 and 1971 cabinet pulls project 1-3/16 inches and the Omnia 1970 projects 1-1/4 inches, so the Jasper stands slightly proud of those.

Ordering runs off the base number 86699 with the finish code appended. Oil Rubbed Bronze is SPC86699US10B, Satin Brass SPC86699US4, Polished Nickel SPC86699US14, Satin Nickel SPC86699US15, Flat Black SPC86699US19, and Polished Chrome SPC86699US26. It's part of Emtek's Schaub collection, so a quote may come back referencing Schaub rather than Emtek on the line item.

The Emtek Jasper 86699 is brass and is offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, and Satin Brass US4. If the specification calls for steel rather than brass, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-pull bar is a steel pull with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel, which lines up with the Jasper 2 inch size and its Satin Nickel US15 finish. The Orca is a bar pull form, so the panel is drilled for bar mounting rather than for a finger recess.

The Emtek Jasper 86699 finger pull projects 1-3/8 inch from the face. The Omnia forged solid brass modern pulls sit slightly tighter to the panel: the 1969 and the 1971 both list a 1-3/16 inch projection, and the 1970 lists 1-1/4 inch. That difference matters where a cabinet door swings past a wall return, an appliance panel, or an adjacent run, since projection sets the clearance you need.

They serve the same cabinet door but they are not the same part. The Emtek Jasper 86699 is a finger pull, a low-profile brass grip 1/2 inch wide. The Orca Bachelor CK-15030 is a round cabinet knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, the CK-16030 is a round ring cabinet knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb CK-17025 is a square cabinet knob at 25mm diameter. A knob is a single-point grip on a single screw; a finger pull gives an elongated grip. If a kitchen is being standardized on one look, pick one form and carry it, rather than mixing a knob onto doors that already run finger pulls.

They are built for different openings. The Emtek Jasper 86699 is a 2 inch brass finger pull in an industrial modern style. The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch pull specified as an appliance pull, which is the long grip used on a refrigerator or dishwasher panel. On a kitchen running Schaub-collection hardware, the two pair rather than substitute: the finger pull on the cabinet doors, the 79-8 on the appliance fronts.

Emtek styles the Jasper as Industrial Modern with a contemporary theme, and at 1/2 inch wide it reads as a slim vertical accent rather than a horizontal bar. It sits well on flat-panel and slab fronts. On a traditional raised-panel kitchen it will fight the door profile, and a knob or a forged bar pull like the Omnia 1968 or 1970 is the closer match there.

No. The SDC SP50 is a 50mm spindle classed as door controls hardware, the shaft that carries a lever or knob through a door lock chassis. The Emtek Jasper 86699 is a cabinet finger pull, a surface-applied brass grip with a 1-3/8 inch projection and no spindle in its makeup. Nothing on the Jasper accepts a spindle, so the SP50 belongs to a door lockset job, not a cabinet job.

No wiring involved. The Jasper is purely mechanical cabinet hardware, so there's nothing to run to it and no low-voltage rough-in to coordinate with the electrician.
