Deltana MP70 Decorative Cabinet Pull 7", Manhattan, Solid Brass

Drill your holes 7 inches apart on center. The MP70 is a 7 inch center-to-center pull with an overall length of 7-13/16 inches, so it only overhangs the mounting holes by about 3/8 of an inch at each end. If you are replacing an existing pull, measure hole to hole first, not end to end. A 7 inch spread is a long-pull spacing, so it is normally going on a wide drawer front or a tall cabinet door rather than a small vanity drawer.

No. The MP70 is a cabinet pull, not an appliance pull, and appliance panels need a heavier grip with a longer post and a mounting pattern rated for the weight of the door. For that job the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch pull carried specifically as an appliance pull. Use the Manhattan on the cabinetry and the appliance pull on the panels, and pick finishes that read the same across both.

Only if your existing holes are already 7 inches apart. The MP70 mounts on a fixed 7 inch center-to-center spread with a 7-13/16 inch overall body, so there is roughly 3/8 of an inch of material past each screw. It will not hide holes drilled at 3, 4, or 96mm spacing. If your old hardware was on a shorter spread, either fill and re-drill the fronts or choose a pull that matches your existing centers, such as the Trimco 562 Series in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center.

The Deltana MP70 Manhattan is a solid brass cabinet pull with 7 inch center to center spacing, 7-13/16 inch overall length, and 1-1/2 inch projection. The nearest same-material peer is the Omnia 1968/102 Modern Cabinet Pull, which is forged solid brass with 4 inch center to center spacing. Both are solid brass modern-profile pulls, so the deciding factor is the hole spacing already drilled in the drawer front: 7 inch centers for the MP70, 4 inch centers for the Omnia 1968/102.

The Deltana MP70 Manhattan is fixed at 7 inch center to center spacing, so it will not land on shorter existing holes. For a 3 inch center to center opening, the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is made at 3 inch ctc. For a 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, or 96mm hole pattern, the Trimco 562 Series is offered in those three center to center options, and the Omnia 1968/102 covers 4 inch centers in forged solid brass.

Two things get mistaken for it. The Schaub Sabre edge pulls, the 10010 at 3 inch centers, the 10011 at 4 inch, and the 10012 at 5 inch, are edge pulls that mount on the edge of the door or drawer rather than face-mounting like the MP70. The Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection CK-15030 and CK-16030 at 1-1/4 inch diameter and the Blackcomb CK-17025 at 25mm are cabinet knobs, single-hole parts with no center to center dimension at all, so they cannot fill the 7 inch hole pattern the MP70 uses.

Projection is 1-1/2 inches, measured from the face of the door or drawer to the back of the grip. That is a deep enough clearance to get a gloved hand behind it, which is why it works on heavy drawers and pantry doors. It also matters for clearance: with 1-1/2 inches of projection, check that the pull will not hit an adjacent wall, an appliance panel, or a return cabinet when the door swings.

Ten finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. Two of those behave differently over time. Unlacquered brass is a living finish and will darken and patina with handling, which some people want and some people do not. PVD polished brass is a vapor-deposited coating and holds its color, so it is the one to pick if you need a run of cabinets to still match each other in five years.

Solid brass. Both the material and the substrate are brass, so the finish is applied over brass rather than over a zinc or steel core. That matters on a 7 inch pull more than on a small knob, because a long grip takes leverage every time someone opens the drawer and a die-cast body is where bending and snapping shows up. The Paint Black and chrome versions are the same brass body with a different finish on top.

Deltana lists the MP70 Manhattan as a residential pull. For a house, a condo, an apartment unit renovation, or a model unit it is the right kind of part. If you are speccing hardware for a school, a hospital, or a high-traffic public restroom casework package, look at pulls carried for institutional duty instead. Property managers doing a unit refresh across a building are firmly in the residential lane and can use it.

The MP70 is the 7 inch center-to-center size in Deltana's Manhattan line. For smaller drawers in a modern flat-bar look, the Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass modern pull at 4 inch center-to-center. The Omnia 1970 and 1971 are also forged solid brass modern pulls, at 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/16 inch projection respectively, which sit a bit tighter to the face than the Manhattan's 1-1/2 inches. Mixing brands across one kitchen means finish names will not match exactly, so keep one brand per elevation where you can.

Three different jobs. A 7 inch center-to-center pull like the MP70 gives you a full-hand grip and reads as a deliberate design element on wide drawers and tall doors. An edge pull, like the Schaub Sabre in 3, 4, and 5 inch center-to-center, mounts at the edge of the door for a flush, minimal look where you do not want hardware standing off the face. A round knob, like the Orca Bachelor 1-1/4 inch, is a single-screw part for small doors and narrow drawers. On one run of cabinets it is common to use pulls on drawers and knobs on doors.

Every one of the ten Manhattan MP70 finishes is the same solid brass body, so within a building you can standardize on one finish code and reorder it as units come up. Order per piece and count your fronts, since the pull is sold each. One caution for a fleet: skip Unlacquered Brass if consistency is the goal, because it is a living finish that darkens with handling and a pull installed this year will not match one installed three years ago. PVD Polished Brass or Brushed Nickel hold their appearance across staggered installs.

The Deltana MP70 Manhattan measures 7-13/16 inches overall on 7 inch centers, which sits at the short end for an appliance panel. The Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch cabinet pull carried as an appliance pull, so it is the one to look at when the door is a fridge or dishwasher panel rather than a drawer front.

The Deltana MP70 Manhattan projects 1-1/2 inches off the face of the door. Among the forged solid brass Omnia modern pulls, the 1969 and the 1971 both project 1-3/16 inches and the 1970 projects 1-1/4 inches. In a galley kitchen or a corridor of lockers where a walkway runs tight to the cabinet face, that difference in standoff is what decides which one gets specified.

They are different in material and in profile. The Deltana MP70 Manhattan is solid brass and is offered in ten finishes including PVD Polished Brass, Unlacquered Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished and Brushed Nickel, Polished and Brushed Chrome, Brushed Brass, and Paint Black. The Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-Pull Bar is steel with a 2 inch bar width in Satin Nickel. If a job is being standardized on a brass substrate across the millwork, the Orca bar pull will not match it.
