Schaub 265 3" Center to Center French Farm Cup Pull

Yes. The 265 cup pull is drilled 3 inches center to center, which is the most common legacy spacing on American cabinet and drawer fronts, so it drops onto existing 3 inch holes without redrilling. It ships with 8/32 thread by 1 inch screws.

The Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is also 3 inch center to center, so it takes the same hole spacing. It's a commercial-line pull rather than a decorative traditional cup, which suits institutional casework better than a residential kitchen. Within the decorative side, Emtek's Schaub Collection pulls (Alexander, Art Deco, Select 8405) are the same family of styling.

The Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is also built on 3 inch center-to-center spacing, so it drops onto the same two drilled holes as the Schaub 265 French Farm cup pull without redrilling the drawer front. The difference is in form and material: the Schaub 265 is a traditional-style cup pull in zinc, while the Trimco 553 is a drawer pull in its own 553 Series styling. If the hole pattern is what you are protecting on an existing run of cabinets, either will land on it.

The Schaub 265 French Farm cup pull is fixed at 3 inch center-to-center, so it will not reach a 3-1/2 or 4 inch hole pattern. For 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, or 96mm centers, the Trimco 562 Series drawer pull is offered in exactly those spacings. The Omnia 1968/102 cabinet pull is another 4 inch center-to-center option, made from forged solid brass. Both are bar-style pulls rather than cup pulls, so the look will change even though the holes line up.

The 265 uses 8/32 machine screws, 1 inch long. That length covers a standard 3/4 inch drawer face with thread to spare. If you're mounting through a thicker applied front or a face with an added slab, you'll need longer 8/32 screws, which are a standard size at any supply house.

Projection on the 265 is listed at 1-3/4 inches. That matters in a galley kitchen or a tight island run where a drawer bank faces an appliance, since a cup pull sticks out further than a flat bar pull would.

Base material is zinc. Cast zinc is standard for cup pulls in this price class and holds up fine in residential and light-commercial cabinetry, though it isn't solid brass. If a spec calls for solid brass, the Omnia 1968/102 and Deltana SBP35 are forged solid brass pulls, but they're modern bar styles, not cup pulls.

A cup pull like the Schaub 265 is a traditional shape, gripped from underneath with the fingers, and reads period or farmhouse. It also has only one orientation, so it can't be used vertically on a door. Bar and T-pulls, such as the Orca CK-12001 T-pull bar or the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull, mount either way and suit modern slab fronts. Many kitchens run cup pulls on drawers and knobs or bars on doors.

The Schaub 265 French Farm cup pull uses a zinc base material. If a solid brass body is what the spec calls for, the Omnia 1969, 1970, and 1971 cabinet pulls are all forged solid brass, as is the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull in the SBP Series. Note that these are modern bar-style pulls, not cup pulls, so you are trading the traditional French Farm cup profile for a different look when you move to brass.

The Schaub 265 French Farm cup pull is a two-hole pull at 3 inch center-to-center, which needs a drawer or door front wide enough to carry both holes. For narrow doors, a single-hole knob solves it: the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection CK-15030 round knob and CK-16030 round ring knob are both 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb CK-17025 is a square knob at 25mm diameter. All three mount on one bore rather than a pair.

The Schaub 265 French Farm cup pull carries a 1-3/4 inch projection. If clearance is tight, the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 cabinet pulls both project 1-3/16 inch and the Omnia 1970 projects 1-1/4 inch, all in forged solid brass. Measure from the face of the drawer front to the obstruction before committing, since the cup profile of the 265 sits further off the face than those bar pulls.

Three: Ancient Bronze (ABZ), Antique Nickel (AN), and Empire Bronze (EBZ). All three are warm traditional tones meant to sit with the French Farm collection's look, so if you're mixing knobs and pulls across a kitchen, stay inside that collection to keep the finish matched.

Overall dimension is listed at 2 inches alongside the 3 inch center to center drilling. Lay it out against narrow drawer banks or against a rail that has to clear a hinge or slide bracket before you commit to the hole layout.

Mechanically yes, on any face with 3 inch spacing, but a cup pull is designed to be pulled upward from beneath and looks wrong mounted on a vertical door stile. For doors in the same kitchen, pair it with a knob from a matching Schaub or Emtek Schaub Collection line rather than turning the cup on its side.

The Schaub 265 is a traditional-style French Farm cup pull in zinc, offered in Ancient Bronze, Antique Nickel, and Empire Bronze, with a cupped profile you grip from underneath. Modern bar pulls read very differently: the Deltana SBP35 is a square bar pull in solid brass, the Emtek Bar cabinet pull is a straight bar form, and the Orca CK-12001 is a steel T-pull bar with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel. Choose by the cabinetry style you are matching - the cup profile suits traditional and farmhouse door fronts, the bar forms suit flat slab fronts.
