Emtek Wrought Steel Lafayette Cabinet Pull, Schaub Collection

If your existing holes are 3 inches apart center to center, yes, the Lafayette drops straight onto them without redrilling. It is also made in 3-1/2, 4 and 6 inch spacing. Anything outside those four spacings means new holes, so on a kitchen refit check a drawer before you order the whole run.

Emtek rates the Lafayette as residential hardware. For apartment turns, model units and single-family remodels that is fine. For a high-traffic commercial casework spec, a heavier-duty option like the Deltana SBP35 solid brass square bar pull or a Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is the more usual choice.

No. The Lafayette tops out at 6 inch center-to-center, which is drawer and door scale. An appliance panel needs a long appliance pull, such as the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch pull. Ordering two Lafayette pulls to span a fridge front does not work, since the mounting is bored for a single pull.

The Lafayette pull is offered at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center in Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel. Two peers cover that same hole spacing: the Deltana SBP35 modern square bar pull in solid brass at 3-1/2 inch, and the Trimco 562 series drawer pull, which is offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center. The Lafayette is a steel pull in a wrought steel style; the SBP35 and the 562 are the ones to look at if you want the same drilling with a different material or a squared bar profile.

The Lafayette is made in a 3 inch center-to-center size in both Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel, so existing 3 inch drilling is covered without redrilling. The Trimco 553 series drawer pull is also a 3 inch center-to-center pull, and the Schaub 10010 Sabre is a 3 inch center-to-center pull as well, though the Sabre is an edge pull rather than a face-mounted bar. For a run of cabinets already bored at 3 inch, the Lafayette and the Trimco 553 drop straight onto the existing holes.

The Lafayette runs from 3 inch to 12 inch center to center and is a cabinet pull. For an appliance panel, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch pull is built as an appliance pull, which is the category made for the longer grip and the load a full-height door puts on it. Keep the Lafayette on the drawer and door fronts and step to the 79-8 where the opening is an appliance panel.

The Lafayette is classified as residential hardware. For a commercial millwork or institutional package, the Trimco 553 series at 3 inch center to center and the 562 series in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm center to center are the contract-line drawer pulls in the same spacings, and the Orca CK-12001 T-pull bar is a steel pull in satin nickel with a 2 inch bar width. The Lafayette suits residential and multi-family unit cabinetry where the wrought steel look is the point.

Two finishes: Flat Black Steel (FBS) and Satin Steel (SWS). Both are available in every center-to-center spacing offered, so a mixed kitchen of 3 inch drawer pulls and 6 inch appliance-side pulls can be kept in one consistent finish.

The Lafayette is a wrought steel pull, steel both as the material and the substrate, part of Emtek's Wrought Steel collection. That is what gives it the forged, slightly irregular rustic look rather than the crisp machined edge of a cast brass bar pull.

The Lafayette is a rustic wrought steel design. If the kitchen is contemporary, the Omnia 1968/102 forged solid brass pull in 4 inch center-to-center is the closest straight swap on hole spacing, and the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull matches the 3-1/2 inch spacing. Both are brass rather than steel, so the surface texture and the finish range differ.

The Lafayette is a surface-mounted bail-style cabinet pull that stands off the front, so it needs finger clearance in front of the door. Where the door sits flush against an adjacent surface or a pocket, an edge pull is the right part instead, for example the Schaub 10010 in 3 inch or the 10011 in 4 inch center-to-center.

The Lafayette is a two-hole cabinet pull, so it will not answer a single-bore knob prep. The Orca Hardware 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 cabinet knob at 25mm diameter if you want a squared face instead of a round one. Pair one of those on the upper doors and keep the Lafayette on the drawer fronts.

They share hole spacings with it -- the Sabre 10010 is 3 inch center to center, the 10011 is 4 inch and the 10012 is 5 inch, and the Lafayette is made in 3 inch and 4 inch among its sizes. But the Sabre is an edge pull, which mounts at the edge of the door or drawer front rather than standing off the face the way the Lafayette does. Matching centers does not make them interchangeable; choose the Sabre when you want the hardware to sit at the edge, and the Lafayette when you want a face-mounted grip.

The Lafayette is a steel pull in a wrought steel style, finished in Flat Black Steel or Satin Steel. The Omnia pulls are forged solid brass in a modern profile: the 1968/102 at 4 inch center to center, the 1969 with a 1-3/16 inch projection, the 1970 with a 1-1/4 inch projection and the 1971 with a 1-3/16 inch projection. If the cabinetry calls for a forged brass modern bar and you need a stated standoff from the face, the Omnia series publishes those projections; if the look is a wrought, rustic steel, the Lafayette is the one holding that style.

Knobs use a single bore and suit small doors; pulls use two bores at a fixed spacing and give a full-hand grip, which matters on heavy drawers. The Lafayette is a two-hole pull in 3 to 6 inch spacings. If you want knobs on the upper doors and pulls on the drawers, a round knob like the Orca Hardware CK-15030 at 1-1/4 inch diameter is the single-bore counterpart.

The Lafayette is offered in Satin Steel as well as Flat Black Steel, across its 3 inch, 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 6 inch center-to-center sizes, so the lighter finish is available without leaving the series. If you want a different steel profile in a light finish, the Orca CK-12001 T-pull bar is steel in satin nickel with a 2 inch bar width.
