Schaub 284-DFBZ – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Schaub 284 Firenza pull fit my existing 128mm cabinet drilling?
Yes. The Schaub 284 Firenza pull is drilled on 128 mm center to center, so it drops onto an existing 128 mm two-hole layout with no new boring. Overall length is 5-11/16 inches, so there is about a quarter inch of pull past each screw hole, which matters if you are working tight to a drawer edge or a stile.
2) What screws does the Schaub 284 pull take, and will standard cabinet screws work?
It is tapped M4 metric, not the 8-32 thread used on most North American cabinet hardware. If you are pulling off old 8-32 pulls, the screws in your drawer will not thread into this one. Use the M4 machine screws supplied with the pull, and measure your drawer front thickness so the screw length works out.
3) What is the closest modern-style alternative to the Schaub 284 Firenza pull if the kitchen is contemporary rather than traditional?
The Schaub 284 Firenza is a traditional-style cabinet pull on 128 mm centers with a zinc base material. For a contemporary door front, the Omnia 1968/102 is a modern cabinet pull in forged solid brass with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, and the Deltana SBP35 is a modern square bar pull at 3-1/2 inches in solid brass. Both shift the look from traditional cast detail to a clean bar profile and change the drilling from 128 mm metric to inch centers.
4) Is there a brass equivalent to the Schaub 284 Firenza pull for a client who will not accept zinc?
The Schaub 284 Firenza pull uses a zinc base material. If the specification calls for brass, the Omnia 1969, 1970, and 1971 cabinet pulls are all forged solid brass, with the 1969 and 1971 at 1-3/16 inch projection and the 1970 at 1-1/4 inch projection, against the 1-3/8 inch projection of the 284. The Omnia pulls are modern in styling, so the substitution changes the appearance as well as the material.
5) What should I use on narrow drawer fronts that are too small for the Schaub 284 pull?
The Schaub 284 Firenza measures 5-11/16 inches overall on 128 mm centers, which needs a reasonably wide drawer face. On narrow fronts, single-hole knobs are the usual answer: the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round cabinet knob and round ring knob are both 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb Collection square knob is 25 mm. A short pull is another route, such as the Trimco 553 drawer pull at 3 inch centers.
6) Is a Trimco 562 drawer pull a drop-in replacement for the Schaub 284?
No. The Schaub 284 Firenza is drilled at 128 mm center-to-center, while the Trimco 562 series comes in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96 mm center-to-center options. None of those match 128 mm, so swapping to a 562 means new holes or a backplate. The Trimco 553 is 3 inch centers and has the same issue. If you are matching existing 128 mm boring, stay with a 128 mm pull.
7) How far does the Schaub 284 Firenza pull stand off the cabinet front?
Projection is 1-3/8 inches, with an 11/16 inch base. That is a generous grip clearance, comfortable for a gloved hand, but check it against any adjacent appliance panel, inside corner, or door that swings past the drawer so the pull does not collide.
8) What finishes does the Schaub 284 Firenza pull come in?
Three: Dark Firenza Bronze (DFBZ), Firenza Silver (FS), and Light Firenza Bronze. All three are hand-applied Firenza collection finishes, so if you are adding to an existing kitchen, order from the same finish name to keep the run consistent.
9) Is the Schaub 284 pull solid brass or cast metal?
The base material is zinc, not brass. For a hospitality or multi-family spec calling specifically for solid brass, look at a forged brass pull instead, such as the Omnia 1968/102 or the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull.
10) Will a traditional Firenza pull match modern flat-panel cabinets?
The 284 is a traditional-style pull from Schaub's Firenza collection, so it reads ornate against slab or flat-panel doors. For a contemporary run, a bar pull suits better: the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull, the Omnia 1969 or 1971 modern pulls, or the Orca CK-12001 T-pull bar in satin nickel.
11) Is 128mm too wide a pull for a narrow drawer front?
With an overall length of 5-11/16 inches, the 284 needs a drawer or door face wider than that plus your margins. On narrow drawers and upper doors many designers drop to a knob and keep the 128 mm pulls for wide drawers. Schaub also sells knobs, and the Orca Bachelor Collection round knobs at 1-1/4 inch diameter are another option for the small openings.
12) Can I mix the Schaub 284 Firenza pull with Emtek cabinet hardware on the same run of cabinets?
Emtek offers the Schaub Collection, which includes the Emtek 8405 Select cabinet pulls as well as the Alexander, Art Deco, and Bar cabinet pulls. Those Emtek items are catalogued as cabinet knob/pull, so they let you carry knobs and pulls through the same design family while the Schaub 284 covers the traditional Firenza look on 128 mm centers. Confirm the center-to-center of the Emtek series you choose matches the 128 mm hole spacing before you drill.
13) For high-traffic commercial casework, is there a tougher option than the Schaub 284 Firenza pull?
The Schaub 284 Firenza is a zinc cabinet pull built around a traditional residential look. For heavier service, the Deltana SBP35 is described as a heavy-duty solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inches, and the Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-pull bar is steel with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel. Both are plain bar profiles rather than traditional, so they suit back-of-house and commercial casework more than a decorative kitchen.
14) Does the Schaub 284 use the same mounting screws as the comparable pulls I might swap it for?
The Schaub 284 Firenza takes M-4 metric screws, consistent with its 128 mm metric hole spacing. Inch-based pulls such as the Deltana SBP35 at 3-1/2 inches and the Trimco 553 at 3 inch centers are supplied for imperial boring, so if you change families expect a different screw thread as well as different hole spacing. Order the screws that ship with whichever pull you select rather than reusing the old ones.
15) I need to add matching pulls to a kitchen that already has Schaub Firenza hardware. Is this the same line?
Model 284 is part of Schaub's Firenza collection in the traditional style, so it is the same family. Match on the finish name (Dark Firenza Bronze, Firenza Silver, or Light Firenza Bronze) rather than by eye, since the Firenza finishes are close in tone. Emtek also carries the Schaub Collection under its SELECT cabinet program if you need companion pieces.
