Schaub 872 3" Center to Center Corinthian Cup Pull

It takes 8/32 thread screws, 1 inch long, which is the size supplied for the 872 Corinthian cup pull. One inch covers a standard 3/4 inch drawer front with thread left to engage. If you are mounting through a 3/4 inch front plus an applied face or a false front, you will need longer 8/32 machine screws.

The pull measures 4-3/4 by 1-3/4 inches overall, so you need at least that much clear face around the 3 inch hole centers. It stands 1 inch off the face, which matters on drawers next to a wall return, an appliance panel, or an inside corner where a projecting cup can catch a hand or block an adjacent door swing.

The Trimco 553 Series drawer pulls are offered at 3 inch center-to-center, the same hole spacing as the Schaub 872 Corinthian cup pull, so they drop into existing 3 inch drilling without re-boring drawer fronts. The difference is appearance and construction: the Schaub 872 is a solid brass traditional-style cup pull with a 1 inch projection and a 4-3/4 inch by 1-3/4 inch overall footprint, while the Trimco 553 is a drawer pull in its own series profile. If you are matching drilling only, the 3 inch spacing carries over; if you are matching look across a run of cabinets, the Corinthian cup form will not be reproduced.

The Schaub 872 Corinthian cup pull is made at 3 inch center-to-center only, so it will not land on 3-1/2 or 4 inch drilling. For those spacings, the Trimco 562 Series drawer pulls are offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center, and the Omnia 1968/102 cabinet pull is a forged solid brass pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing. The Deltana SBP35 is a heavy-duty solid brass square bar pull listed at 3-1/2 inch. All three are bar or drawer pull forms rather than the cup shape of the 872.

A cup pull is a drawer pull by design. The hand enters the cup from below and pulls straight out, which suits a drawer but works poorly on a hinged door, where you pull sideways against the swing. Standard practice on a traditional kitchen is cup pulls on the drawers and knobs on the doors. The 872 is the Corinthian collection cup pull in solid brass.

Four: Ancient Bronze (ABZ), Corinthian Silver (CRS), Michelangelo Bronze (MIBZ), and Redington Brass (RB). These are Schaub's hand-applied living finishes over solid brass, so if you are ordering across several rooms or adding to an existing run, order the whole quantity at once to keep the batch consistent.

Solid brass. That matters on a kitchen or bath job where pulls get handled wet daily, and in a rental or hospitality setting where zinc-alloy pulls crack at the screw boss after a few years. It also means the pull has some weight to it, which is part of the look on a traditional Corinthian-style face frame kitchen.

If you want the same 3 inch hole centers in a plainer drawer pull, the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is offered at 3 inch ctc. Need wider spacing, the Trimco 562 Series covers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm centers. For a contemporary bar profile instead of a traditional cup, look at the Deltana SBP35 solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inches, or the Omnia 1968/102 forged solid brass pull at 4 inch centers. Emtek also carries Schaub-designed pulls under its SELECT line if you are matching Emtek trim elsewhere in the house.

Pull one off and check three things against the 872: hole centers at 3 inches, overall size 4-3/4 by 1-3/4 inches, and 1 inch projection off the face. If all three line up and the existing pull is the Corinthian pattern, you are replacing like with like. If the centers measure 3-1/2 or 4 inches, it is a different pull and the 872 will not land on the existing holes.

The Schaub 872 is a traditional-style cup pull in solid brass. For a modern profile in the same base material, Omnia offers forged solid brass cabinet pulls in several series: the 1969 and 1971 at 1-3/16 inch projection and the 1970 at 1-1/4 inch projection, all described as modern cabinet pulls. The Deltana SBP35 is a modern square bar pull in heavy-duty solid brass at 3-1/2 inch. Compared with the 872's 1 inch projection, the Omnia pulls stand slightly further off the face, which matters in tight galley runs where drawers pass a perpendicular cabinet.

Yes, and the pairing is a common one because Emtek lists a Schaub Collection within its cabinet hardware, including the Emtek 8405 Select cabinet pulls and the Alexander, Art Deco, and Bar cabinet pulls. Typical practice is cup pulls on drawers and knobs or bar pulls on doors. The Schaub 872 uses an 8/32 thread by 1 inch long screw, so confirm the screw length you need against your drawer front thickness when mixing brands in one run.

The Schaub 872 is a cup pull, a form normally reserved for drawer fronts because it is gripped from below. For the door fronts in the same kitchen, single-hole knobs are the usual companion: Orca Hardware offers the Bachelor Collection round cabinet knob and round ring knob, both 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb Collection square knob at 25mm diameter. Knobs drill a single hole rather than the 3 inch two-hole pattern the 872 requires.

Emtek carries several Schaub-designed cabinet pull lines, including the SELECT 8405, Alexander, Art Deco, and Bar collections. Those are separate patterns from the Corinthian cup pull, so mixing them is a design decision, not a drop-in swap. Finish names differ between lines as well, so check a sample before committing a whole kitchen to a mixed set.
