The Schaub Steamworks pull is a transitional bar pull designed for cabinet doors and drawer fronts where an 8-inch center-to-center spacing puts the hardware in proper scale with the front.
An 8-inch center-to-center spacing is the right call on a wide base drawer, a deep pot-and-pan drawer, a pantry door, or a furniture-style island front where smaller hardware looks undersized and out of proportion. At this scale, the pull becomes part of the room's visual structure rather than a footnote on the door. The 9-1/4 inch overall length gives the grip room to breathe on a broad front without crowding the edges, and the bar form keeps the hardware reading horizontally so the eye follows the run of the cabinetry.
The pull is cast in zinc and finished in Empire Bronze, a warm, medium-dark bronze tone with enough depth to read against both painted and stained wood fronts. Empire Bronze sits in that range between a raw oil-rubbed texture and a high-shine antique, which is what gives it its transitional character: it suits a kitchen with traditional cabinet profiles as readily as one with a cleaner, more contemporary line. The finish also works naturally alongside unlacquered brass fixtures and darker metal accents without the contrast becoming harsh.
This pull is the right choice for designers and cabinet shops specifying hardware on wide-format cabinetry, particularly on kitchens where the drawer stack is the visual centerpiece and the pulls need to anchor it. It fits equally well in a custom residential build, a high-end renovation, and a furniture-grade island install. Because it is part of the Steamworks collection, companion knobs and pulls in the same series make it straightforward to run a coordinated hardware program across the full kitchen without mixing design languages.
Center-to-center is the distance between the two mounting holes, which is what you match to your existing drill pattern or lay out for new holes. Overall length is the full end-to-end size of the pull, always larger. On this pull, the holes are 8 inches apart and the pull measures 9-1/4 inches end to end.
Empire Bronze is a medium-dark warm bronze, darker than a brushed brass but not as black-toned as an oil-rubbed bronze. It has enough warmth to read as bronze rather than as brown.
The Steamworks collection includes multiple center-to-center sizes in the same design language and finish. Running different lengths from the same series on different-sized fronts is a standard approach in kitchen hardware specification.
The projection is 1-3/8 inches (35 mm) from the door face to the back of the grip, which is enough clearance for a comfortable full-hand grip on a wide drawer.
When the cabinetry calls for hardware that matches its scale, the 8-inch Steamworks pull in Empire Bronze delivers the proportion, the warmth, and the design consistency to finish the job right.
