Deltana DCM315 Drawer, Cabinet, Mirror Pull, 3" x 1-1/2"

Sliding mirror doors are one of the intended applications for the DCM315 angle pull, along with sliding cabinet doors, sliding drawers, and swinging cabinet doors. The angled body is what makes it work on a bypass panel: you get a finger grip on a door face that has no room for a projecting bar pull. Face measures 3 x 1-1/2 inches.

Deltana lists the DCM315 as a residential pull. For apartment turns, condo units, and single-family cabinetry it is the right class of hardware. On a high-traffic commercial casework job or an institutional millwork spec, look instead at a commercial drawer pull line such as the Trimco 553 Series at 3 inch center-to-center, which is the same grip spacing in a commercial-duty product.

Not necessarily. The DCM315 is an angle pull sized 3 x 1-1/2 inches overall, which is an outside dimension and not a stated hole spacing. If your existing holes are drilled at 3 inch centers and you need a drop-in match, the Trimco 553 Series is listed at 3 inch center-to-center, and the Schaub 10010 Sabre is a 3 inch center-to-center edge pull. For 4 inch centers, the Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing.

An angle pull like the Deltana DCM315 mounts on the face of the panel and gives you a hooked grip standing off the surface, so it works on a mirror or cabinet door where you pull from the front. An edge pull, such as the Schaub 10010 Sabre at 3 inch center-to-center or the 10011 at 4 inch, mounts on the leading edge of the panel and sits nearly flush, which is what you want when the two bypass panels overlap tightly and a face-mounted pull would foul the passing door. Check your panel overlap before you choose.

The Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is offered at 3 inch center to center, matching the 3 inch dimension of the Deltana DCM315. The DCM315 is a solid brass drawer, cabinet and mirror pull sized 3 inch by 1-1/2 inch and offered in eleven finishes including Polished Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Brushed Nickel. The Trimco 553 is a drawer pull series rather than a mirror-door pull, so if the openings are sliding mirror doors the Deltana angle profile is the one that suits them.

The Trimco 562 Series drawer pull is offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm center to center options, where the Deltana DCM315 is a single 3 inch by 1-1/2 inch size. The Omnia 1968/102 modern cabinet pull is another route at 4 inch center to center in forged solid brass, which matches the DCM315 on brass construction while giving the longer spacing.

No. The Schaub 10010 is a 3 inch center to center Sabre edge pull, an edge pull that mounts at the edge of the door or drawer face. The Deltana DCM315 is a solid brass drawer, cabinet and mirror pull with a 3 inch by 1-1/2 inch angle body that Deltana intends for sliding cabinet doors, sliding mirror doors, sliding drawers and swinging cabinet doors. The 3 inch figure is the only thing the two share; the mounting position on the door is different.

The DCM315 measures 3 x 1-1/2 inches. On a drawer or cabinet face, plan the flat area around those two dimensions; it is a compact pull, so it suits narrow drawer rails and mirror door stiles where a longer bar pull would not land.

Solid brass. The DCM315 is brass through the body, not a zinc casting with a brass-look coating, which is why it holds up on a mirror door that gets pulled several times a day and why the unlacquered brass version can be left to patina rather than flaking.

Eleven finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Paint Black, and Oil Rubbed Bronze. For a property manager standardizing a building, PVD Polished Brass is the one to specify if the pulls sit in a bathroom or anywhere humid, since PVD is a hard vapor-deposited coating rather than a lacquer. Unlacquered brass is the opposite choice, bare brass meant to darken over time.

Grip and reach. The DCM315 is a compact angle pull, 3 x 1-1/2 inches, meant for sliding panels and small cabinet doors where a hand only needs a fingerhold. A bar pull, like the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull from the Schaub Collection or the Orca CK-12001 T-Pull with a 2 inch bar width in steel, gives a full-hand grip standing off the door and is what most people put on kitchen drawers and appliance fronts. If the door slides, the angle pull is the one that clears; if it swings and gets grabbed hard, a bar pull is the better hand.

Yes, and that is the usual reason to pick it. The DCM315 angle pull is specified for sliding drawers, swinging cabinet doors, sliding cabinet doors, and sliding mirror doors, so one part number and one finish covers a vanity, a linen cabinet, and a mirrored closet in the same unit. For a landlord buying by the unit, that keeps the reorder list to a single line.

The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks 8 inch cabinet pull is built as an appliance pull, sized for the grip length a refrigerator or dishwasher panel calls for. The Deltana DCM315 is a 3 inch by 1-1/2 inch pull for drawers, cabinet doors and mirror doors, so it is the smaller-format part of the two.

The Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-Pull bar is steel with a 2 inch bar width and comes in satin nickel. The Deltana DCM315 is solid brass and comes in eleven finishes, among them Brushed Nickel, Polished Nickel and Antique Nickel, so a nickel tone is reachable in either material depending on whether the rest of the cabinetry hardware is brass or steel.

The Schaub 10011 is a 4 inch center to center Sabre edge pull and the 10012 is 5 inch center to center, both edge pulls. They give longer spacing than the 3 inch by 1-1/2 inch Deltana DCM315, but they are edge-mounted rather than face-mounted pulls, so they change where the hardware sits on the door rather than just its length. For a face-mounted pull with longer spacing, the Trimco 562 Series at 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch or 96mm center to center stays in the same mounting style.

Each. The unit of measure on the DCM315 is a single pull, so a bypass mirror closet with two panels needs two, and a run of six drawers needs six. Order the count of openings, not the count of doors' worth of pairs.
