Schaub 522-MB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screws come with the Schaub 522 pull, and will they work on a thick drawer front?
The Menlo Park 522 uses 8/32 x 1 inch machine screws. That is the standard cabinet pull thread, and a 1 inch screw handles a typical 3/4 inch face frame or drawer front. If you are mounting through a thicker slab front, a doubled front, or a front with an applied panel, you will need longer 8-32 screws, which are a stock hardware-store item.
2) Is the Schaub 522 solid brass or plated metal?
The 522 Menlo Park pull is zinc, meaning a die-cast zinc body with the finish applied over it. Zinc casting holds crisp transitional detail well and is common on residential and light commercial cabinetry. If a spec calls specifically for solid brass, look at the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull, also 3-1/2 inch, or the Omnia 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971 series pulls, all forged solid brass.
3) My drawer bank is drilled on 4 inch centers - what pull works instead of the Schaub Menlo Park 522?
The Schaub 522 Menlo Park pull is fixed at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center, so it will not land on a 4 inch drilling. The Omnia 1968/102 modern cabinet pull is a forged solid brass pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing. The Trimco 562 Series drawer pulls are offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center options, which covers a 4 inch drilling and lets you match the 3-1/2 inch openings on the same job from one series.
4) What is a comparable 3-1/2 inch center-to-center cabinet pull if I want solid brass instead of zinc?
The Schaub 522 Menlo Park pull is a zinc-base pull on 3-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing. For the same 3-1/2 inch spacing in solid brass, the Deltana SBP35 is a modern square bar pull built heavy-duty in solid brass at 3-1/2 inch. The Deltana is a square bar profile in the SBP Series, so it reads as a straight modern bar rather than the transitional Menlo Park shape.
5) Can I use an Emtek cabinet knob in place of the Schaub 522 Menlo Park pull?
No - the two mount differently. The Schaub 522 is a cabinet pull with two posts on 3-1/2 inch centers using 8/32 x 1 inch screws, so the door or drawer front is drilled twice. The Orca Hardware CK-15030 Bachelor Collection round pull knob and the CK-17025 Blackcomb Collection square pull knob are cabinet knobs, which take a single center hole. Swapping a knob onto a front already bored for the 522 leaves two visible holes; going the other way requires drilling a second hole.
6) How far does the Schaub Menlo Park cabinet pull stick out from the door?
Projection is 1-1/8 inches, measured from the face of the cabinet to the back of the grip. That is enough clearance to get gloved fingers behind it, and it matters in a galley kitchen or a tight hallway of built-ins where a deeper pull catches hips and pockets. The pull's footprint on the face is 3/4 inch.
7) What finishes does the Schaub 522 Menlo Park pull come in for matching the rest of a kitchen?
Seven finishes: Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Ancient Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Polished Nickel, and Signature Satin Brass. That covers both nickel tones separately, so you can match brushed against satin rather than settling for close, and the black and bronze options cover darker plumbing and lighting packages.
8) I am standardizing cabinet hardware across a multifamily property. Does the Menlo Park 522 work as a fleet-wide pull?
It works as a standard where the existing bore is 3-1/2 inches, which is one of the most common cabinet spacings in residential millwork. One part number covers doors and drawers, and seven finishes let you run different unit tiers or building phases off the same profile. Where an opening has 4 inch bores instead, the Trimco 562 Series is offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm so you can keep the look consistent across mixed spacing.
9) Is there a shorter-spread drawer pull than the Schaub 522 for narrow drawer fronts?
The Schaub 522 Menlo Park pull is 3-1/2 inch center-to-center and 4-1/4 inch overall, which needs a drawer front wide enough to carry that spread. The Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is a 3 inch center-to-center pull, a half inch tighter on the drilling, which suits narrower fronts and file-drawer faces.
10) I need more knuckle clearance than the Schaub 522 gives - what pull projects further off the front?
The Schaub 522 Menlo Park pull projects 1-1/8 inch from the face. If you want more finger room behind the grip, the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 modern pulls are forged solid brass at 1-3/16 inch projection, and the Omnia 1970 is forged solid brass at 1-1/4 inch projection. That matters on gloved hands and on drawers stacked tight under a countertop overhang.
11) For a high-traffic commercial casework run, what steel pull is an alternative to the Schaub 522?
The Schaub 522 Menlo Park pull has a zinc base and a 3/4 inch base dimension in a transitional profile, which suits residential and light commercial casework. Where you want steel on heavy-use millwork, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 is a T-pull bar in steel with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel. It is a straight bar shape rather than the Menlo Park profile, so plan it as a full-run change, not a one-door swap.
12) Which pull should I standardize on across a building if some drawers are 3-1/2 inch centers and some are wider?
The Schaub 522 Menlo Park covers the 3-1/2 inch center-to-center openings and comes in seven finishes including satin nickel, polished chrome, ancient bronze, brushed nickel, matte black, polished nickel, and signature satin brass, so one finish carries across a facility. If a single series has to span mixed drillings, the Trimco 562 Series drawer pulls list 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center options within one series.
13) Is the Menlo Park 522 a pull or a knob, and which should I use on upper cabinets?
The 522 is a two-screw pull, not a single-screw knob. Pulls give more grip and are easier on hands with limited strength, which is why they dominate on drawers and lower cabinets. If you want knobs on uppers to lighten the look, the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round knob and round ring knob are both 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb square knob is 25mm.
14) Will an SDC SP50 spindle work with the Schaub 522 cabinet pull?
No. The Schaub 522 Menlo Park is a cabinet pull that fastens through the drawer or door front with 8/32 x 1 inch screws. The SDC SP50 is a 50mm spindle used in door controls, not cabinet hardware, and it shares no mounting with a two-post cabinet pull.
15) Is the Orca Bachelor ring knob a substitute for the Schaub 522 pull on drawer fronts?
They are not interchangeable. The Orca Hardware CK-16030 is a round ring cabinet pull knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter and functions as a cabinet knob on a single fastener. The Schaub 522 Menlo Park is a two-post cabinet pull at 3-1/2 inch centers, 4-1/4 inch overall. A ring knob gives a pivoting grip at one point; the 522 gives a fixed horizontal grip across the front, which is what wide drawers loaded with tools or files usually want.
