Emtek 86293-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How does the Ribbon & Reed backplate mount to a cabinet door?
Surface mount, so it lays on the face of the door or drawer front with the knob screw passing through it. No mortising or routing, which is why these plates are a common way to dress up existing cabinetry.
2) Will the unlacquered brass version stay bright, or will it patina?
Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is raw brass with no clear coat, so it darkens and patinas with handling over time. If you want brass that holds its shine, order Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) instead. Both are on the same 2-1/2 inch plate.
3) Is this backplate suitable for a commercial kitchen or a hotel casework package?
Emtek lists the Ribbon & Reed backplate as residential. It's decorative brass hardware aimed at homes and high-end residential millwork, not spec'd for commercial-duty casework. For hospitality or institutional casework, specify hardware rated for commercial use.
4) I need part numbers to order Emtek Ribbon & Reed cabinet backplates for a job. What are they?
The MPN carries the finish code on the end: SPC86293US10B for Oil Rubbed Bronze, SPC86293US15 for Satin Nickel, SPC86293US26 for Polished Chrome, and SPC86293US7 for French Antique. All are the 2-1/2 inch plate.
5) Can I use the Ribbon & Reed backplate behind a cabinet pull instead of a knob?
It's designed for a knob, a single center fastener, not for a two-post pull. A pull needs a plate with matching center-to-center hole spacing. Use this one under knobs and look for a dedicated pull backplate where you want the same Ribbon & Reed look on drawer pulls.
6) What is the Ribbon & Reed cabinet backplate made of?
Solid brass, both the material and the substrate, which is why the plated and living finishes like Unlacquered Brass and French Antique behave the way they do. Brass also means it takes fingerprints and cleaning chemicals differently than stainless, so wipe with a soft cloth rather than an abrasive.
