Schaub 660 Avalon Bay with Organic Shell Inlays 3" Center to Center Cabinet Pull

The Avalon Bay pull takes 8/32 machine screws in a 1 inch length, which is the standard cabinet hardware thread. One inch handles a normal 3/4 inch drawer front or door with thread to spare. If you are mounting through a thicker applied front, a false front with a backer, or a slab over 3/4 inch, you will need longer 8/32 screws, which is a stock item at any hardware counter.

Projection is 1-1/4 inches from the face of the door out to the back of the grip. That is a generous hand clearance, useful for a kitchen where someone is grabbing a drawer with a full hand or a gloved one, but check it against inset doors beside a corner or an appliance panel where a deep pull can catch a passing hip or the swing of an adjacent door. The pull body itself is a 3/8 inch base section.

The Avalon Bay ribbon pull is a 3 inch center to center pull only, so if your fronts are bored wider you need a different pull rather than a different size of this one. The Trimco 562 Series drawer pull covers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center to center. The Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass modern pull at 4 inch center to center. The Deltana SBP35 is a heavy duty solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inches.

The Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is offered at 3 inch center to center, the same hole spacing as the Schaub 660 Avalon Bay pull, so it drops into existing 3 inch bores without redrilling. The difference is in the face: the Schaub 660 is a solid brass ribbon pull in the Symphony Inlays style with shell inlay work, while the Trimco 553 is a plain drawer pull. Use the Trimco where the spacing has to match and the decorative face is not the point.

No, not on the same holes. The Schaub 660 Avalon Bay is a cabinet pull with two mounting points at 3 inch center to center and 8/32 screws. The Orca Hardware CK-15030 and CK-16030 in the Bachelor Collection are cabinet knobs at 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the CK-17025 Blackcomb is a square cabinet knob at 25mm; a knob mounts on a single center hole. Swapping to a knob leaves a second bore in the drawer front that has to be filled or covered.

Solid brass, with white mother of pearl shell inlay set into the ribbon form and a polished nickel plated finish over the brass. Solid brass is the difference that matters on a pull that gets handled every day in a kitchen or a hospitality suite. The inlay is a natural shell, so expect the usual variation in figure from piece to piece rather than a printed pattern that matches exactly.

Polished nickel is the finish, and it is the only one offered on the Avalon Bay ribbon pull with the white mother of pearl inlay. Polished nickel runs slightly warmer and softer than chrome, so if the rest of the room is chrome, plan on the pull reading a touch different rather than matching dead on.

The Avalon Bay pull itself is a pull, not a knob. Emtek carries the Schaub Collection under its own numbers, including the Emtek 8405 SELECT cabinet hardware, which is catalogued as a cabinet knob or pull, so that is where to look for a matching knob in a Schaub design. If you only need a plain knob to pair with the pulls on drawers, the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round cabinet knob is 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the same collection offers a round ring knob at the same diameter.

Yes, on either. A 3 inch center to center pull with 8/32 through screws mounts the same way on a door stile or a drawer front, the only difference being the thickness you are screwing through. On narrow drawer fronts, check the 4 inch overall length against the height of the front so the pull does not crowd the edges when mounted horizontally.

For the same standoff without the shell inlay, the Omnia 1970 is a forged solid brass modern cabinet pull at 1-1/4 inch projection, matching the Avalon Bay's 1-1/4 inches. If you want the pull to sit a little tighter to the face, the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 are both forged solid brass at 1-3/16 inch projection. The Orca Hardware CK-12001 is a steel T-pull bar in satin nickel with a 2 inch bar width, a different look and a different base material from the brass options.

The Schaub 660 Avalon Bay is a solid brass ribbon pull in the Symphony Inlays style with a 1-1/4 inch projection. For the same solid brass body without the inlay face, the Omnia 1970 is a forged solid brass modern cabinet pull with a 1-1/4 inch projection, which stands the same distance off the drawer front. The Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 are also forged solid brass modern pulls, both at 1-3/16 inch projection, so they sit slightly closer to the face. Confirm the center to center spacing you need before selecting.

The Schaub 660 Avalon Bay is a solid brass pull with a shell inlay face, which suits residential and hospitality millwork. Where the run takes hard daily use, the Deltana SBP35 is a heavy-duty solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch, and the Orca Hardware CK-12001 is a steel T-pull bar with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel. Both present a plain bar face with no inlay to chip. Check the existing bore spacing before switching, since the Schaub 660 is drilled at 3 inch center to center.

Yes, Schaub publishes a Proposition 65 warning for this pull under its product stewardship information. That matters for anyone specifying into a California job or shipping to a California address, since the warning has to travel with the product.
