Emtek Keaton Cabinet Pull, Schaub Collection

The Keaton pull is made in seven hole spacings: 3-1/2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches center to center. That range covers everything from a small drawer front to a full appliance or pantry panel, so you can run one profile through an entire kitchen and step the length up as the fronts get wider. Measure the existing hole spacing on your fronts first, center of hole to center of hole, and match it if you want to reuse the bores.

Only if your existing spacing matches one the Keaton is built in: 3-1/2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 or 12 inches center to center. Cabinet pulls mount through two bores at a fixed spacing, so a pull is either a drop-in on your existing holes or it is a re-drill. Common older kitchens are 3 inch centers, and the Keaton does not start until 3-1/2, so a 3 inch layout will need new holes or a backplate.

Projection is 1-7/8 inches. That is the clearance you get between the back of the grip and the door face, and it is what decides whether a hand in a work glove fits and whether the pull clears an adjacent wall, a return cabinet, or an appliance handle when the door swings. On a corner cabinet or a door next to a casing, check that 1-7/8 inches of stick-out against the swing before you commit.

Keaton is a residential-duty cabinet pull. For single-family, condo and apartment casework it is the right class of hardware. For a high-traffic commercial millwork job, look at a heavier-duty option such as the Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull, which is specified as heavy-duty solid brass at 3-1/2 inch centers.

No. At 1-7/8 inches of projection the Keaton is a grip pull that stands proud of the face, so it will foul anything that has to slide past or sit flush. For those openings use an edge pull instead: the Schaub Sabre edge pulls come in 3 inch (10010), 4 inch (10011) and 5 inch (10012) center to center.

The Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull is the nearest match. It is a 3-1/2 inch square bar pull in solid brass, so it lands on the same 3-1/2 inch hole spacing the Keaton offers and shares the brass substrate. The Keaton is a brass finger pull in a modern rectangular style, and it carries that 3-1/2 inch spacing as one of seven sizes running from 3-1/2 inch up to 12 inch. If a cabinet run needs one spacing only, the SBP35 covers it; if the run mixes drawer widths, the Keaton spans the range in a single design.

The Omnia 1968/102 Modern Cabinet Pull is forged solid brass with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, so it drops straight onto an existing 4 inch bore. The Emtek Keaton also lists 4 inch among its center-to-center sizes, in brass. The difference is coverage: the 1968/102 is specified at that one spacing, while the Keaton carries 4 inch alongside 3-1/2, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch for cabinetry that needs several spacings in the same design.

The Keaton projects 1-7/8 inch off the face. Where a walkway or an appliance swing will not tolerate that, the Omnia 1970 Modern Cabinet Pull is forged solid brass at 1-1/4 inch projection, and the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 are both forged solid brass at 1-3/16 inch projection. All three stay under an inch and a half off the face while keeping the modern brass look. Measure the clearance to the opposing run before choosing.

No. The Schaub 10010 Sabre is an edge pull at 3 inch center to center, and the 10011 and 10012 are the same edge pull at 4 inch and 5 inch. An edge pull mounts at the edge of a door or drawer front and is gripped from the side, which is a different mounting position and a different grip than a face-mounted pull. The Emtek Keaton is a cabinet pull that mounts on the face of the drawer or door. If the intent is a flush, low-profile grip at a slab edge, the Sabre edge pulls do that; they will not fill a face-drilled Keaton bore.

Six finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Brass (US4) and Satin Nickel (US15). Those US codes are the standard finish designations, so if your faucet or your existing door hardware is specified as US15 or US26, you are matching to the same code rather than to a marketing name. Oil Rubbed Bronze is a living finish and will change tone with handling over time.

Keaton is a modern rectangular pull on a contemporary theme, so it is a squared bar profile rather than a bowed or beaded traditional one. It sits comfortably with slab and shaker-flat fronts. If you want something rounder or softer in the same modern family, the Omnia 1969 and 1971 forged solid brass pulls run a 1-3/16 inch projection, and the Omnia 1970 a 1-1/4 inch, all shallower than the Keaton's 1-7/8.

The long sizes are the ones to use there. Keaton goes up to 10 and 12 inch centers, which is appliance-panel and tall-pantry territory rather than drawer territory. If you want a purpose-built appliance pull instead, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch pull is catalogued specifically as an appliance pull.

A pull spans two bores and gives you a full-hand grip, which is what you want on drawers, on anything heavy, and anywhere hands are wet or gloved. A knob is a single bore, easier to retrofit, and reads more traditional. The Keaton is a two-bore cabinet pull. If knobs suit the doors better, the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round knob and round ring knob are both 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb square knob is 25mm.

Two choices settle the order: center-to-center spacing (3-1/2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 or 12 inches) and finish (Flat Black US19, Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Chrome US26, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Brass US4 or Satin Nickel US15). Count your drawers and doors separately, since a kitchen usually runs shorter centers on drawers and longer on doors and appliance panels, and order one finish across the run so the plating batches match.

They share a hole pattern, not a look. Keaton offers 4 inch centers, and so do the Omnia 1968/102 forged solid brass pull and the Trimco 562 Series, which runs 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm ctc. The Trimco 553 Series is 3 inch ctc only, so it will not land on Keaton bores. If you are replacing pull for pull and just need the holes to line up, match the ctc number and pick on profile and finish.

The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch pull is built as an appliance pull, which is the part class made for the weight and grip of a panel-ready appliance door. The Emtek Keaton is specified for residential cabinetry and reaches 8 inch center to center, so the spacing lines up, but an appliance panel is the job the Steamworks is designed for. On a kitchen that mixes both, running the Keaton on the cabinet boxes and the 79-8 on the appliance fronts keeps one spacing across the room.

The Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-Pull Bar is a steel bar pull with a 2 inch bar width, furnished in satin nickel. The Emtek Keaton is brass and also offers Satin Nickel (US15), so the two can sit in the same room without a finish clash. The choice is substrate and form: steel T-bar versus a brass finger pull in a modern rectangular profile. Confirm hole spacing against the existing bore before mixing them on one run.

Not without redrilling. The Orca Hardware CK-15030 Bachelor round knob and CK-16030 round ring knob are both 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the CK-17025 Blackcomb is a square knob at 25mm diameter. A knob mounts on a single center screw; the Emtek Keaton is a two-hole pull with center-to-center spacings from 3-1/2 inch to 12 inch. Swapping a Keaton for any of these knobs leaves two open bores in the front. Knobs are the usual pick for small doors and narrow drawers where a long pull will not fit.

The Trimco 562 Series Drawer Pulls list 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm center-to-center options, so the 562 handles imported casework bored to 96mm. The Trimco 553 Series is a 3 inch center-to-center drawer pull. The Emtek Keaton runs in inch spacings from 3-1/2 inch through 12 inch, which covers the 3-1/2 and 4 inch overlap with the 562 directly.

The Emtek Keaton reaches 10 inch and 12 inch center-to-center in brass, which are the two longest spacings among the modern brass pulls here; the Deltana SBP35 is specified at 3-1/2 inch and the Omnia 1968/102 at 4 inch. On a run that mixes wide pan drawers with standard base cabinets, the Keaton lets the same modern rectangular profile and finish carry from 3-1/2 inch up to 12 inch instead of switching families at the wide drawers.

No. The SDC SP50 is a 50mm spindle used in door controls, the bar that carries motion through a door lock or exit device chassis. The Emtek Keaton is a non-electronic brass cabinet pull for residential cabinetry. The two share no mounting, no hole pattern and no application; ordering the SP50 against a cabinet pull requisition will not produce a hardware pull.
