Orca Hardware Cabinet Bar Pull, 6" Overall Length, 3" Center to Center, 12mm Diameter

It is rated residential. For apartment unit kitchens, condo turns, and single-family work it is the right class of hardware. If you are specifying for a school, hospital, or other institutional casework where you need commercial-duty pull hardware, look at a solid brass pull such as the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull, which is a heavy-duty solid brass unit.

No. The 12-Bar Pull is not ADA compliant, so do not use it where accessible casework hardware is called for on the drawing. Its 12mm round bar profile is graspable, but the product is not carried as ADA compliant and should not be substituted into an accessible spec.

The Orca 12-Bar Pull is a 3 inch center to center pull only. To carry a longer pull on wide drawers, the Trimco 562 Series drawer pulls come in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center to center, and the Omnia 1968/102 is a 4 inch center to center modern pull. Mixing brands means checking finish match by eye, so order a sample of each before committing a whole kitchen.

The Orca CP-12300 bar pull is zinc alloy at 3 inch center to center. If you want forged solid brass in a modern pull, the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1970 are both forged solid brass modern cabinet pulls, with the 1970 carrying a 1-1/4 inch projection and the 1969 a 1-3/16 inch projection. The Deltana SBP35 is another solid brass route, a heavy-duty modern square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch. Confirm the drilling before you switch: the SBP35 is a 3-1/2 inch size, not the 3 inch spacing the Orca pull uses.

The Orca CP-12300 bar pull is 3 inch center to center, so it drops onto existing 3 inch drilling. Among other 3 inch options, the Trimco 553 Series drawer pulls are also 3 inch center to center. If the drawers were drilled wider, the Trimco 562 Series covers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm spacing, and the Omnia 1968/102 is a modern forged solid brass pull at 4 inch center to center.

Three finishes: Black, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, and Satin Nickel. That is the full range on the 12-Bar Pull, so if the units you are matching are in polished chrome or brass, this series will not match and you want a different pull.

Just a pull. Its function is dummy/pull trim, meaning there is no latching, no cam, and no locking mechanism. It mounts through the door or drawer front with screws and does nothing but give you something to grab. If you need the cabinet to lock, you need a separate cabinet lock.

For a fleet of residential units, a 3 inch center to center bar pull is the safest single spec, because 3 inch bores are the most widely used spacing on stock cabinetry and existing doors are most likely to already be drilled that way. The Orca 12-Bar Pull covers that in three finishes (Black, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel), so one series can carry a whole property. Just confirm it is a residential-duty part and not a fit for institutional casework specs.

They mount and work differently. The Orca CP-12300 is a surface bar pull, 12mm diameter on 3 inch center to center, that stands off the face of the door or drawer. The Schaub Sabre 10010 is an edge pull, also at 3 inch center to center, and edge pulls mount at the edge of the panel rather than projecting from the face. The Sabre line also runs 4 inch center to center as the 10011 and 5 inch as the 10012. If you want a grip that projects from the door face, the bar pull is the one; if you need the face to stay flush, the edge pull is.

The Orca CP-12300 is a straight 12mm bar in Black, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, and Satin Nickel. For a patterned or period look, Emtek's Schaub Collection includes the Art Deco cabinet pull and the Alexander cabinet pull, and Emtek also offers a straight Bar cabinet pull and the 8405 in the Emtek SELECT series if you want to stay with the plain bar profile in a different line.

No. The Orca CP-12300 is a cabinet bar pull with a dummy/pull trim function, meaning it is a grip with no latching action. The SDC SP50 is a 50mm spindle, a door controls part that drives a lockset from the lever or knob. They are unrelated parts and neither one replaces the other.
