Emtek Tuscany Bronze Ribbed Cabinet Pull, Schaub Collection

Residential. Emtek lists the Ribbed cabinet pull as residential grade, so for a hotel casegoods package, a school casework spec, or a hospital millwork job that has to answer to an abuse standard, this is not the part to spec. For those openings look at a heavy duty solid brass bar pull such as the Deltana SBP35, or the Orca CK-12001 T-pull bar, which is a steel bar pull with a 2 inch bar width.

The Ribbed pull tops out at 6 inch center to center, which is a wide drawer pull, not an appliance pull. Integrated refrigerator and range panels normally want something in the 8 inch and up range with a heavier mounting. The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch pull is a true appliance pull if that is the application.

The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Ribbed cabinet pull is offered in a 3-1/2 inch center-to-center, in Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB), in brass with mounting screws included. The Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull is also a 3-1/2 inch center-to-center solid brass pull, from the SBP Series, with a square bar profile rather than the ribbed Emtek shape. If the drilling on the drawer front is already at 3-1/2 inch centers, either one lands on the existing holes; the decision is the profile and the finish family you are matching.

The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Ribbed pull is a surface-mounted cabinet pull that stands off the face of the door or drawer. Where clearance in front of the face is the constraint, such as a drawer that opens against an adjacent appliance or a slab that has to stay flush, an edge pull is the substitute. The Schaub Sabre Collection edge pulls cover 3 inch, 4 inch and 5 inch center-to-center in solid brass: the 10010 at 3 inch, the 10011 at 4 inch and the 10012 at 5 inch. They are edge pulls rather than face-mounted pulls, so the mounting location on the door changes even where the hole spacing matches.

No, not on the same holes. The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Ribbed pull is a two-hole cabinet pull ordered by center-to-center spacing, in 3 inch, 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 6 inch. The Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round cabinet knob CK-15030 and round ring knob CK-16030 are both 1-1/4 inch diameter cabinet knobs, and the Blackcomb CK-17025 is a 25mm square cabinet knob; all three are knobs, which mount on a single screw. Switching from the ribbed pull to any of them means the second hole in the drawer front is left open and has to be filled or the front replaced.

Brass, and the substrate is bronze rather than a zinc or steel core. That matters on a cabinet pull because a cast zinc pull can crack at the screw boss when someone overtightens, and a plated finish on zinc wears through at the grip point first. The ribbed body gives a textured grip along the full length.

No. The Ribbed pull is a surface mounted bail pull, it stands proud of the front and mounts through two holes. For a door edge or a sliding front where nothing can project, you want an edge pull instead. Schaub's Sabre Collection edge pulls come in 3 inch, 4 inch and 5 inch center to center in solid brass.

You can, but only if the existing bores agree. The Ribbed pull is made in four spacings, 3, 3-1/2, 4 and 6 inch center to center, and older casework in a single building often mixes 3 inch on upper drawers with wider spacing below. Survey a sample of each cabinet type, record the hole spacing, then order by spacing rather than by unit count. Both bronze finishes run across the sizes, so the look stays consistent even where the spacing does not.

Projection is how far the pull stands off the face, and it decides whether a hand fits behind it and whether the pull clears an adjacent door or appliance when the drawer opens. Among the forged solid brass Omnia modern cabinet pulls, the 1969 is 1-3/16 inch projection, the 1971 is also 1-3/16 inch, and the 1970 is 1-1/4 inch. The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Ribbed pull is a brass cabinet pull in the Ribbed series offered from 3 inch to 6 inch center-to-center; where a tight inside corner is driving the choice, the Omnia figures give a stated stand-off to design around.

The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Ribbed pull is a brass residential cabinet pull, styled for the Tuscany Bronze collection in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze. On a commercial millwork or institutional casework package where the finish schedule is secondary to durability, the Deltana SBP35 is a heavy-duty solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center, and the Orca CK-12001 T-Pull Bar is a steel pull with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel. For a residential kitchen, bath or millwork package the Emtek ribbed profile is the design match; for a lobby or back-of-house run the heavier bar pulls are the closer fit.

SPC86255MB is the 6 inch center to center Ribbed pull in Medium Bronze. The finish code sits at the end of the number, MB for Medium Bronze and FB for Flat Black Bronze, which is how the size and finish combinations are broken out.

The difference is the body texture and the finish family. The Ribbed pull has a ribbed profile in Tuscany Bronze, a warm bronze look for traditional and transitional cabinetry. The modern alternatives in the same size range are smooth: Omnia's 1968 is a forged solid brass pull at 4 inch center to center, and the Omnia 1969 and 1971 are forged brass with a 1-3/16 inch projection, with the 1970 at 1-1/4 inch projection. Pick on style, the mounting is the same two screw pattern.
