Orca Hardware CP-17096-BL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Orca CP-17 Blackcomb pull suitable for a commercial or multi-family project?
Orca lists the CP-17 as residential. For apartment turns and single-family kitchens and baths it is the intended use. For a commercial casework spec or a high-traffic institutional job, look at a heavier commercial line instead, such as the Trimco 553 or 562 Series drawer pulls. The CP-17 also is not ADA compliant, so it should not be used where cabinet hardware has to meet an accessibility requirement.
2) What else could I use if I want a bar-style pull in inch spacing instead of metric?
The CP-17 is only drilled on metric centers. If your cabinets are bored to inch spacing, the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is 3 inch center-to-center, the Trimco 562 Series covers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96 mm, the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull is 3-1/2 inch, and the Omnia 1968/102 is 4 inch. The Trimco 562 is the one that bridges both, since it is offered in inch and 96 mm spacings.
3) What is the closest metric-spaced alternative to the Orca CP-17 cabinet pull in 96 mm center-to-center?
The Orca CP-17 Blackcomb pull is offered in 96 mm, 128 mm and 160 mm center-to-center. If you need a metric 96 mm hole spacing from a different maker, the Trimco 562 Series drawer pull is offered with 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96 mm center-to-center options, so it drops onto the same 96 mm bore pattern. Note the Trimco 562 does not extend to 128 mm or 160 mm, so a run of wider drawers would need a different spacing from that series.
4) What finishes is the Orca Blackcomb CP-17 pull available in?
Two: Black and Satin Nickel. Both are offered across all three hole spacings (96 mm, 128 mm, and 160 mm), so you can run the same finish on drawer banks and doors that need different pull lengths without a finish break.
5) What is the Orca CP-17 cabinet pull made of?
Zinc alloy. That is a cast base metal with a plated or coated finish, which is what most mid-priced cabinet hardware uses. If you want a solid brass pull instead, the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull and the Omnia 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971 cabinet pulls are forged or solid brass.
6) Does the Orca CP-17 pull lock or latch anything?
No. It is pull trim only, with no latch, catch or lock mechanism. You grab it and the door or drawer opens. If you need the drawer or door to stay shut, that comes from a separate catch, roller or magnetic latch, ordered on its own.
7) Can I use the Orca Blackcomb CP-17 on both cabinet doors and drawer fronts?
Yes. Orca classes the Blackcomb as cabinet and drawer hardware, so the same pull goes on door stiles and drawer faces. The usual approach is the shorter 96 mm spacing on doors and narrow drawers and 128 mm or 160 mm on wide drawer fronts, all in one finish.
8) Is a cabinet pull or an edge pull the right choice for a handleless-look door?
A face-mounted pull like the Orca CP-17 Blackcomb mounts through the front of the door or drawer on two screws and stands proud of the face. If you want nothing sitting on the face, an edge pull is the other route, mounted at the door edge. Schaub's Sabre edge pulls cover that in 3 inch, 4 inch and 5 inch center-to-center (models 10010, 10011 and 10012). The two are not interchangeable in the same bore pattern.
9) Can I use the Orca CP-17 on a refrigerator or range panel?
The Orca CP-17 Blackcomb tops out at 160 mm center-to-center, which is a cabinet and drawer spacing rather than an appliance panel spacing. For an appliance door, the Schaub 79-8 Steamworks is an 8 inch cabinet pull built as an appliance pull. Pair the CP-17 on the surrounding cabinetry and the longer appliance pull on the panel if you want a consistent look.
10) What are the alternatives to the Orca CP-17 if I want a specific projection off the door face?
The Orca CP-17 Blackcomb is specified by center-to-center and finish. If clearance off the cabinet face is what drives your selection, the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 modern pulls are forged solid brass with 1-3/16 inch projection, and the Omnia 1970 is forged solid brass with 1-1/4 inch projection. Those give you a stated standoff to work against when a drawer sits close to an adjacent wall or appliance.
11) If I want more style choices than the Orca CP-17 Blackcomb offers, what other pull families cover a range of looks?
The Orca CP-17 is a single design in the 17-Blackcomb Collection, offered in Black and Satin Nickel. If you are matching a decor package rather than a bore pattern, Emtek's Schaub Collection spans several distinct pull families: the Emtek Bar cabinet pull, the Emtek Alexander, the Emtek Art Deco, and the Emtek 8405 in the Emtek SELECT series. All four are cabinet knob/pull products, so you can hold one family across a kitchen and still match the drawer sizes you have.
12) Is the SDC SP50 spindle related to the Orca CP-17 cabinet pull?
No. The Orca CP-17 Blackcomb is a cabinet pull with dummy/pull trim function, meaning it is grasped to open a door or drawer and has no latching action. The SDC SP50 is a 50 mm spindle classified under door controls, a lock component rather than a pull. They are not interchangeable and the SP50 will not serve as cabinet hardware.
