Emtek Wire Cabinet Pull, Schaub Collection

The Wire pull is offered in 3 inch, 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 6 inch center-to-center. Measure hole to hole on your existing pull, not the overall length, and match that number. If your drawers are already bored on 3 inch centers, the 3 inch Wire pull drops onto the same holes with no new drilling.

Nine finishes across every size: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Worth knowing before you commit: Unlacquered Brass has no protective coating and will darken with handling, while the Lifetime Polished Brass is coated to hold its shine. If you are mixing sizes on the same run of cabinets, all nine finishes are offered in all four center-to-center spacings, so a 3 inch drawer pull and a 6 inch appliance-height pull will match.

The Emtek Wire cabinet pull is a brass cabinet pull offered in center-to-center spacings from 3 inches to 12 inches, which includes 3-1/2 inch. The Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull is also a solid brass cabinet pull built at 3-1/2 inch center to center, so it lands on the same drilling as the 3-1/2 inch Wire pull. The difference is form: the SBP35 is a square bar profile, while the Wire is a traditional-style pull. For a drawer bank already bored on 3-1/2 inch centers, either drops into the existing holes.

The Emtek Wire cabinet pull is offered at 4 inch center to center in finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) and Flat Black (US19), and it is a traditional-style pull. The Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass cabinet pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing in a modern profile, so it uses the same hole spacing with a different look. Both are brass, so a cabinet run mixing them stays consistent in material.

No, they mount differently. The Schaub 10010 is a 3 inch center-to-center Sabre edge pull, the 10011 is 4 inch, and the 10012 is 5 inch - the same spacings as several Wire pull sizes, but an edge pull wraps the edge of a door or drawer rather than sitting on the face like the Emtek Wire cabinet pull. Matching center to center alone does not make the swap work; the edge pull needs a free edge and a face-mounted bore will not carry it.

Screws come in the box with each Wire pull, so you are not sourcing 8-32 machine screws separately. If your drawer fronts or doors are thicker than standard, for example a slab front with an applied panel, the supplied screws may come up short and you'd need longer 8-32 screws to reach.

Residential. Emtek classes the Wire pull for residential duty, which puts it in kitchens, baths, built-ins, and multi-family unit casework rather than high-traffic institutional millwork. A property manager standardizing across apartment kitchens is well inside its intended use; a school or hospital casework spec calling for a graded pull is not what this is.

The Wire pull tops out at 6 inch center-to-center. For appliance-scale hardware, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch pull built as an appliance pull, which is the size range refrigerator and dishwasher panels usually need. Note it is a Schaub design, not the Wire profile, so it will read as a deliberate accent rather than a match.

The Wire is a traditional-styled brass pull, drawn from the American Classic design vocabulary, so it suits shaker, inset, and period casework. If the kitchen is contemporary flat-slab, a square-section bar reads better: the Deltana SBP35 is a solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch, and the Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass modern pull at 4 inch centers. All three are brass, so the decision is profile and style, not material.

A wire pull is a bail-style pull and stands off the face, so it will catch clothing in a tight galley or on an island end. Where clearance is the problem, an edge pull mounts at the door or drawer edge and sits nearly flush: Schaub makes the Sabre edge pull in 3 inch, 4 inch, and 5 inch center-to-center. Those are a different look entirely, so most people use them only where a projecting pull genuinely will not work.

Projection decides whether a pull catches a hip or an apron in a narrow run. The Omnia 1970 modern cabinet pull is forged solid brass with 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 are brass cabinet pulls, the same material as the Emtek Wire pull, so a kitchen that needs a stated standoff figure can be specified from the Omnia side while staying in brass throughout.

The Emtek Wire cabinet pull is a residential cabinet pull sized from 3 inch to 12 inch center to center. For an appliance panel, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch cabinet pull is built as an appliance pull, which is the part meant to carry a refrigerator or range door rather than a drawer front. Cabinets and appliance panels in the same kitchen are commonly specified as a cabinet pull for the boxes and an appliance pull for the panels.

The Emtek Wire cabinet pull covers 3 inch, 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 6 inch center to center in one series, in brass. On the Trimco side it takes two series: the Trimco 553 drawer pull is 3 inch center to center, and the Trimco 562 drawer pull carries 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm center-to-center options. A property manager standardizing across mixed existing bores can hold one appearance across both spacings with the Wire series, or run 553 for the 3 inch drawers and 562 for the rest.

A knob is a single-bore part and the Emtek Wire cabinet pull is a two-bore pull, so it is not a hole-for-hole swap. The Orca Hardware CK-15030 Bachelor Collection round cabinet knob and CK-16030 round ring knob are both 1-1/4 inch diameter cabinet knobs, and the CK-17025 Blackcomb square knob is 25mm diameter. Going from the Wire pull to any of these means filling one of the two existing holes, and going the other way means drilling a second. Knobs are a common choice on upper doors with pulls kept on the drawer bank.

Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is offered in all four spacings, 3 inch, 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 6 inch. That matters on a living-finish job, because the whole run needs to start from the same uncoated brass if you want it to patina evenly.

Flat Black (US19) runs as SPC86133US19 at 4 inch center-to-center and SPC86249US19 at 6 inch. If you are placing a distributor order, give the center-to-center and the finish code together, since the spacing is what changes the number.

The Emtek Wire cabinet pull is brass throughout, offered in finishes including Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Chrome (US26) and Flat Black (US19). The Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-Pull Bar is steel with a 2 inch bar width in Satin Nickel, so a job that wants a steel pull can hold a satin nickel appearance close to the Wire pull's Satin Nickel option while changing the base material.
