Emtek Mortise & Tenon Cabinet Pull, Schaub Collection

Orderable center-to-center spacings are 3 inches, 3-1/2 inches, 4 inches and 6 inches. Measure hole center to hole center on the existing pull, or on the drilled door or drawer front, and match that number exactly, since the mounting holes are fixed at the stated spacing.

The Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass cabinet pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, so it lands on the same mounting holes as the 4 inch Mortise & Tenon pull and is also a brass part. The difference is styling: the Mortise & Tenon pull is an Arts & Crafts design in brass, while the Omnia 1968/102 is a modern profile.

The Deltana SBP35 is a modern square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center in solid brass, described as heavy-duty. It uses the same hole spacing as the 3-1/2 inch Mortise & Tenon pull, so you can swap one for the other on existing drilling while changing the visual style from Arts & Crafts to a square bar.

The Mortise & Tenon pull is classed as a residential product. For institutional casework, Trimco's 553 Series drawer pull comes in 3 inch center-to-center and the 562 Series in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center, covering most of the same hole spacings so you can keep existing drilling while specifying a commercial-line pull.

Four finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and Satin Brass (US4). All four are offered at every center-to-center size, so a kitchen can run one finish across 3 inch drawer pulls and 6 inch pulls on taller fronts. Unlacquered Brass is a living finish, so it will darken over time unless it is polished; the other three are coated or plated and hold their look.

No. Mounting screws come with the pull. What is not included is longer screws for unusually thick drawer fronts or applied-panel doors, which is a common add on thicker custom cabinetry.

Brass. Both the substrate and the finished material are brass, so the body is brass through and not a pot-metal casting with a brass-look coating. That matters in a kitchen or bath where humidity and cleaning products attack cheaper base metals.

It is classed as residential hardware. For apartment turns, single-family remodels and hospitality-style millwork it is appropriate. For high-traffic commercial casework where a spec calls out a duty rating, look at something like the Trimco 553 Series or 562 Series drawer pulls instead.

The Mortise & Tenon pull tops out at 6 inch center-to-center, which is short for a refrigerator or range panel. The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch cabinet pull carried as an appliance pull, giving you a longer grip length for large fronts.

No. The Schaub 10010 is an edge pull, mounted on the edge of a door or drawer front, even though it shares 3 inch center-to-center spacing with the smallest Mortise & Tenon pull. The Mortise & Tenon is a face-mounted cabinet pull. Use the 10010 only where an edge-mount detail is intended; for the same style in longer edge spacing Schaub also lists the 10011 at 4 inch and the 10012 at 5 inch.

All three are forged solid brass modern cabinet pulls and differ mainly in projection: the Omnia 1969 and 1971 are listed at 1-3/16 inch projection and the 1970 at 1-1/4 inch. Projection is the clearance behind the grip, which matters where a drawer sits next to a wall or appliance. The Mortise & Tenon pull is likewise a brass pull but in an Arts & Crafts profile.

It is an Arts and Crafts design, so it sits naturally on Shaker, Craftsman and Mission-style door and drawer fronts, especially in Oil Rubbed Bronze or Unlacquered Brass. If the cabinetry is flat slab and contemporary, a square bar profile like the Deltana SBP35 or the Omnia 1968 series reads better.

Yes, a common approach is pulls on drawers and knobs on doors. Orca Hardware's Bachelor Collection CK-15030 is a round cabinet knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter and CK-16030 is a round ring knob at the same 1-1/4 inch diameter; the Blackcomb CK-17025 is a square knob at 25mm. Those are single-screw knobs, so they do not need the two-hole spacing the Mortise & Tenon pull uses.

The Mortise & Tenon pull is brass throughout. If you need steel, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-pull bar is a steel pull with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel. It is a modern bar profile rather than an Arts & Crafts design, so plan on it reading differently alongside brass hardware.
