Schaub 579 4" Center to Center Atherton Cabinet Pull

Yes. The Atherton 579 is drilled on 4 inch center to center, so it drops onto an existing pair of holes bored 4 inches apart with no new drilling. Overall length is 4-1/2 inches, meaning the posts sit just 1/4 inch in from each end, so it covers very little beyond the existing holes if you are replacing a longer pull.

The 579 Atherton uses 8-32 threaded posts, which is the standard cabinet hardware machine screw thread in North America. Existing 8-32 screws from the pulls you are removing will thread in fine, but screw length has to suit your door or drawer front thickness, so keep the screws that match your panel.

The Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass cabinet pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, matching the 4 inch center-to-center hole spacing of the Schaub 579 Atherton pull, so it drops into the same drilled holes. The difference is styling: the Schaub 579 Atherton is a traditional-style pull in solid brass, while the Omnia 1968/102 is a modern design. The Trimco 562 series drawer pull also offers a 4 inch center-to-center option.

No, not as a direct swap. The Schaub 579 Atherton is a two-post pull with 4 inch center-to-center hole spacing, while the Orca Hardware Bachelor CK-15030 is a 1-1/4 inch diameter round cabinet knob, and the CK-16030 is a 1-1/4 inch round ring knob. Knobs mount on a single hole, so switching to one leaves the second bore in the drawer front. Use knobs only on new fronts or where a single hole is being drilled.

Projection is 1-1/4 inches from the face of the door or drawer front to the back of the grip. That is enough finger clearance for a gloved hand, and it is the number to check if the cabinet sits next to a wall return or an appliance panel where a hand needs room to swing the door.

Four finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, and Satin Brass. If you are standardizing a whole kitchen or a run of units, order all the pulls in one purchase so they come from consistent production, particularly with the living finishes like Oil Rubbed Bronze and Satin Brass.

Solid brass is the base material on the 579 Atherton, not cast zinc with a plated shell. For multi-family or hospitality turns that matters: a brass body holds its shape under repeated use and does not fracture at the post the way pot metal can.

The 579 Atherton is only offered on 4 inch centers. For shorter spacing on the same job, the Trimco 562 Series drawer pulls cover 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm centers, and the Trimco 553 Series is a 3 inch center to center drawer pull. Those are a different look, so if the Atherton appearance has to carry across the run, keep the 4 inch spread and set the hole pattern accordingly.

The Schaub 579 is from the Atherton collection in solid brass. Emtek carries Schaub Collection cabinet pulls in several series that give you other design directions on the same job: the Emtek Alexander cabinet pull, the Emtek Art Deco cabinet pull, the Emtek Bar cabinet pull, and the Emtek 8405 SELECT series. All four are catalogued as cabinet knob/pull hardware, so you can mix collections across a kitchen while staying in one design family.

The Schaub 579 Atherton pull is solid brass and comes in oil rubbed bronze, polished chrome, polished nickel, and satin brass. If the specification calls for steel instead, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-pull bar is a steel pull with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel. It is a bar-style pull rather than a traditional profile, so it will read differently on the cabinet face.

Common practice is pulls on drawers and knobs on doors, and the Atherton works that way. If you want a knob to pair with it, Orca Hardware's Bachelor Collection round knob and round ring knob are both 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb square knob is 25mm. Match the finish family at the point of order, since finish names vary between brands.

No. The Schaub 579 Atherton is a cabinet pull that mounts with 8/32 machine screws through the drawer or door front. The SDC SP50 is a 50mm spindle used in door control hardware, not cabinet mounting hardware, so it has no role in installing the 579. For the 579 you need 8/32 screws sized to the thickness of the front.
