Schaub 854 3" Center to Center Symphony Cabinet Cup Pull

Yes, the 854 Symphony cup pull is drilled on 3 inch center-to-center spacing, so it drops onto standard 3 inch holes with no redrilling. Overall length is 3-1/2 inches, meaning the pull only covers about a quarter inch of drawer face beyond each hole. If the old pull was longer and left a shadow or unfinished area on a painted or stained front, that will show.

The Trimco 553 series drawer pull is also built to 3 inch center to center, so it lands on the same two existing screw holes as the Schaub 854. The difference is in the face: the Schaub 854 is a Symphony Inlays cup pull in solid brass, with the shell inlay carried across Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl and Tiger Penshell. The Trimco 553 is a plain drawer pull. If the hole spacing is what has to match on a drawer front already bored, either one drops in at 3 inch centers.

The Schaub 854 will not reach it: its holes are fixed at 3 inch center to center, and the 3-1/2 inch figure on it is the overall length of the pull, not the bore spacing. For an existing 3-1/2 inch bore, the Trimco 562 series drawer pull is offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 96mm center to center, so the 3-1/2 inch option seats on the holes already drilled. Confirm the spacing on the cabinet before ordering, since 3 inch and 3-1/2 inch bores look nearly identical on a drawer front.

They are not interchangeable parts. Emtek sells a Schaub Collection - the Emtek 8405 Select cabinet pull, and the Alexander, Art Deco and Bar cabinet pulls - all catalogued as cabinet knob/pull. The Schaub 854 is a specific cup pull with 3 inch center to center spacing, 3-1/2 inch overall, 1-1/2 inch projection and an 8/32 screw. Sharing the Schaub name does not mean an Emtek Schaub Collection pull arrives at the same hole spacing or the same profile, so order by the spacing and function you need rather than by the collection name.

The 854 uses 8/32 machine screws, which is the standard cabinet hardware thread, so screws already in your drawer fronts will thread in. What matters more is length: the pull mounts flat against the face, so the screw has to clear the full thickness of your drawer front plus the pull. Thicker fronts, or fronts with an applied moulding, need longer 8/32 screws than the ones that came off a thinner drawer.

Projection is 1-1/2 inches. That is deep for a cup pull, and it matters in two places: a galley or narrow passage where a drawer front sits at hip height, and any spot where the drawer face runs close to an adjacent appliance, an inside corner, or a return wall. Measure the clearance to the neighbouring surface before you commit to a full kitchen of them.

Solid brass base with a Symphony Inlays shell face. The inlay is the finish material, offered in Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl, and Tiger Penshell. The brass carries the load and the fasteners; the shell is a decorative face on it. Being an inlaid natural material, colour and figuring vary piece to piece, which is why you order everything for one run at once rather than backfilling later.

Three combinations, and the metal finish is tied to the inlay rather than chosen separately. Polished Nickel with Imperial Shell, Polished Nickel with Mother of Pearl, and Estate Dover with Penshell. So if you want the darker Estate Dover metal, Penshell is the inlay that comes with it.

A cup pull like the Schaub 854 is grabbed from underneath with the fingers, which suits drawers but does nothing for a door, so a kitchen usually pairs cup pulls on drawers with knobs on the doors. Bar pulls work on both and read modern rather than traditional. If you want one shape running through the whole room, look at a bar pull such as the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull or the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull. Cup pulls are also directional: the opening faces down, so they cannot be flipped or run vertically on a tall door.

For the same 3 inch hole spacing in a plainer, harder-wearing form, the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is made at 3 inch center-to-center. That is the direction to go for institutional or high-traffic millwork where a shell inlay is the wrong call. The Schaub 854 is a decorative piece, better suited to residential and hospitality casework than a school or clinic corridor.

The Schaub 854 is fixed at 3 inch center to center with a 3-1/2 inch overall length, which suits smaller drawer fronts. For a wider drawer, the Omnia 1968/102 modern cabinet pull is forged solid brass at 4 inch center to center, and the Trimco 562 series is offered at 4 inch and 96mm center to center as well as 3-1/2 inch. On a run that mixes drawer widths, some designers hold the Schaub 854 on the narrow drawers and step up to the wider spacing only on the large ones.

Cup pulls are typically used on drawers and paired with knobs on the doors. The Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round cabinet pull knob is a 1-1/4 inch diameter knob, and the Bachelor Collection round ring knob is the same 1-1/4 inch diameter with a ring detail. The Orca Blackcomb Collection square knob is 25mm diameter for a squared profile instead. Any of the three covers the door positions while the Schaub 854 handles the drawers at 3 inch centers. Note the Schaub 854 carries an 8/32 screw thread, so check the screw size on whichever knob you pair with it.

The Schaub 854 is a Symphony Inlays cup pull, and the inlay is the point of the design: Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl or Tiger Penshell set into a solid brass body. For an unornamented face, the Deltana SBP35 is a modern square bar pull, 3-1/2 inch, heavy-duty solid brass. The Omnia 1970 and Omnia 1971 modern cabinet pulls are forged solid brass, at 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/16 inch projection respectively, against the 1-1/2 inch projection of the Schaub 854 - which matters if the drawer sits in a tight walkway. All are brass; the choice is between a decorative cup profile and a plain bar.

The Schaub 854 is a solid brass decorative cup pull with a shell inlay face, aimed at residential and hospitality millwork. For commercial casework taking constant use, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 is a T-pull bar with a 2 inch bar width in steel with a satin nickel finish, and the Deltana SBP35 is a heavy-duty solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch. A steel bar pull takes cart and knuckle contact differently than an inlaid brass cup; the Schaub 854 is the choice where appearance is driving the specification.

The Schaub 854 projects 1-1/2 inch from the face. Among comparable forged solid brass cabinet pulls, the Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 project 1-3/16 inch and the Omnia 1970 projects 1-1/4 inch. In a galley kitchen, a narrow hallway of built-ins, or anywhere a drawer front sits along a circulation path, that difference in projection is what decides whether the hardware catches a passing hip or a cart.

Yes, and that is the usual pairing since a cup pull only works on a drawer. Emtek carries the Schaub collection under its SELECT cabinet program, so the Emtek 8405 Select cabinet knobs and pulls are the closest place to look for a knob from the same design family. If you want a plainer knob, the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round knob is 1-1/4 inch in diameter.

With 1-1/2 inches of projection off the face, the 854 gives room for several fingers under the lip, not a full fist. That is normal for a cup pull and it is what makes them a poor choice for a heavy, deep drawer loaded with cookware or files, where a bar pull you can wrap a whole hand around does better. On a standard kitchen or vanity drawer it pulls fine.

The Schaub 854 comes in Polished Nickel with Imperial Shell, Polished Nickel with Mother of Pearl, and Estate Dover with Penshell - the metal finish and the inlay are ordered together as one code, so a polished nickel run has to agree on which shell it carries. If a nickel finish is what has to match and the inlay is not required, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-pull bar is a satin nickel steel pull; satin and polished nickel read differently in the same room, so confirm which one is on the existing hardware before you extend the run.
