Schaub 79-6 Steamworks 6" Cabinet Pull

The 79-6 Steamworks pull mounts on 6 inch center-to-center holes, with a 7 inch overall length. If your doors or drawer fronts are already bored at 6 inch centers, it drops straight onto the existing holes. If they're bored at anything else (5 inch and 128mm are the other common appliance and drawer spacings), the holes won't line up and you'd be patching and re-drilling the fronts.

The 79-6 is only offered at 6 inch centers, so smaller drawers need a different pull. Among shorter options, the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull runs 3 inch center-to-center and the Trimco 562 Series comes in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm centers. Deltana's SBP35 square bar pull is 3-1/2 inches. None of those are Steamworks styling, so if matching the look matters more than the size, keep the 79-6 and accept the overhang on narrow fronts.

The Schaub 79-6 Steamworks pull is fixed at 6 inch center to center with a 7 inch overall length, so it cannot be worked into holes drilled at 4 inch. The Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass modern cabinet pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, which drops straight onto existing 4 inch bores. For 3 inch centers the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is a 3 inch ctc part, and the Trimco 562 Series covers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm ctc, so a single series can cover a mix of older drawer bores in the same run of cabinets.

No. The Schaub 79-6 is an appliance pull at 6 inch center to center with a 7 inch overall length, sized for a full-height appliance panel. The Deltana SBP35 is a 3-1/2 inch modern square bar pull in heavy-duty solid brass, a drawer-scale part that will not land on 6 inch bores. The same applies to the Trimco 553 Series at 3 inch ctc. If the appliance panel is already drilled for the 79-6, the replacement has to be a 6 inch center-to-center pull.

Projection is 1-1/4 inches, with a 1/2 inch base. That's enough clearance to get a gloved hand behind it, and it's the number to check where a cabinet door swings into a return wall, a corner, or an adjacent appliance handle: the pull adds 1-1/4 inches to the door's swing path.

The Schaub 79-6 is the 6 inch center-to-center Steamworks appliance pull. Emtek carries the Schaub collection under its own catalog, and the Emtek 8405 Select is a cabinet knob and pull line from that Schaub collection, which is the way to pick up matching knobs and shorter pulls for the drawer fronts alongside the 79-6 on the appliance doors. Emtek's Alexander, Art Deco and Bar cabinet pulls are also Schaub collection lines, each a different profile, so the choice among them is a styling decision rather than a fit one.

The Schaub 79-6 is a transitional-style Steamworks pull with a 7 inch overall body and a 1-1/4 inch projection. Where the look does not have to carry, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 is a steel T-pull bar with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel, a plain bar profile. For a knob instead of a pull, the Orca Hardware CK-15030 Bachelor Collection round cabinet knob is 1-1/4 inch diameter and the CK-16030 is the round ring version at the same 1-1/4 inch diameter; the CK-17025 Blackcomb square knob is 25mm. Knobs take a single bore, so they will not reuse the two-hole 6 inch layout the 79-6 needs.

The Schaub 79-6 Steamworks pull is offered in Satin Nickel (SN), along with Brushed Bronze (BBZ), Distressed Pewter/Copper (DPC) and Empire Bronze (EBZ). If the run also needs a plain bar in the same tone, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-pull bar is a steel part supplied in satin nickel. Note the difference in base metal: the 79-6 is zinc and the Orca part is steel, so the two will wear differently under heavy daily use even in the same finish name.

Four finishes: Satin Nickel (SN), Brushed Bronze (BBZ), Distressed Pewter/Copper (DPC), and Empire Bronze (EBZ). Distressed Pewter/Copper is a two-tone hand-applied finish, so expect piece-to-piece variation; if you're doing a full kitchen or a run of units, order the whole quantity at once so everything comes from the same production.

Steamworks is a transitional style, so it reads as an industrial-leaning piece that sits between traditional and contemporary. It works on shaker and flat-panel doors both. For a strictly modern job, the straight bar profiles are a cleaner match: the Orca CK-12001 T-pull bar in satin nickel steel, or the Omnia 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971 modern pulls.

No. The Schaub 79-6 is a cabinet pull with 8/32 screw threads that mounts through the door or drawer face. The SDC SP50 is a 50mm spindle, a door controls part that carries a lever or knob through a mortise lock case. It is not a cabinet pull and does not mount to a cabinet face. For appliance and cabinet doors, stay with a 6 inch center-to-center pull such as the 79-6.
