Schaub 878-BBZ – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schaub 878 Empire cup pull fit my existing 3 inch drawer holes?
Yes. The Empire 878 cup pull is drilled on 3 inch center-to-center spacing, which is the most common hole spacing on kitchen and vanity drawer fronts, so it drops onto existing 3 inch bores with no new drilling. Overall the pull measures 4-3/8 x 1-7/8 inches, so it will cover a little more of the drawer face than the hole spacing alone suggests. If your current holes are 96mm, they are close to but not the same as 3 inches and the screws will not line up cleanly.
2) What screws come with the Schaub 878 cup pull and will they work on a thick drawer front?
The 878 Empire cup pull mounts with 8/32 thread screws, 1 inch long. That length suits a standard 3/4 inch drawer front with a little to spare. If you are mounting through a thicker applied front or a slab with a false face, you will need longer 8/32 machine screws, since the thread size is the standard cabinet hardware 8/32 and replacements are easy to source.
3) Is there a solid brass alternative to the Schaub 878 Empire cup pull?
The Schaub 878 Empire cup pull is made on a zinc base material. If the specification calls for brass, the Omnia 1970 cabinet pull is forged solid brass and carries the same 1-1/4 inch projection off the face as the 878, so it stands proud of the drawer front by the same amount. The Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 are also forged solid brass, both at a 1-3/16 inch projection. The Deltana SBP35 is a heavy-duty solid brass square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch. Brass and zinc take finishes differently, so mixing them on one run of cabinetry is worth reviewing before ordering.
4) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schaub 878 Empire cup pull at 3 inch center to center?
The Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is the nearest match on hole spacing, since the 553 Series is built at 3 inch center to center - the same drilling the Schaub 878 Empire uses. The difference is character rather than layout: the Schaub 878 is a transitional cup pull in zinc with a 1-1/4 inch projection and a 4-3/8 inch by 1-7/8 inch footprint, while the Trimco 553 is a drawer pull series. If the cabinet faces are already bored on 3 inch centers, either drops into the existing holes.
5) The drawers are already drilled at 3-1/2 or 4 inch centers - what pull fits instead of the Schaub 878?
The Schaub 878 Empire is fixed at 3 inch center to center, so wider drilling needs a different part. The Trimco 562 Series drawer pull is offered in 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center to center, which covers all three of the common wider spacings. For a 4 inch bore specifically, the Omnia 1968/102 cabinet pull is a forged solid brass pull built at 4 inch center to center. Either avoids re-drilling and plugging existing faces.
6) How far does the Schaub Empire 878 cup pull stick out from the drawer face?
Projection is 1-1/4 inches. That is the clearance you need between the drawer front and anything in front of it, an adjacent appliance panel, a door swing, or a passing hallway. In a tight galley or a narrow butler's pantry, measure that 1-1/4 inches against your walkway before committing to cup pulls across a run of drawers.
7) What finishes does the Schaub 878 Empire cup pull come in?
Ten finishes, and they span warm and cool: Satin Nickel, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Matte Black, Signature Satin Brass, Ancient Bronze, Brushed Bronze, and Empire Bronze. That range matters if you are matching cup pulls on drawers to knobs or bar pulls elsewhere in the same room, since the nickel family alone gives you four different tones to match against existing hardware.
8) Should I use a cup pull or a bar pull on kitchen drawers?
A cup pull like the Empire 878 is grabbed from underneath with the fingers curled up into the cup, which suits drawers and works poorly on doors, where there is nothing to pull against at the right angle. A bar pull works on both drawers and doors and is easier to grip with a full hand or a wet hand. Common practice is cup pulls on drawers, knobs or bars on doors. If you want one profile everywhere, look at the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull or the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull instead.
9) I'm standardizing drawer pulls across a multi-family renovation on 3 inch centers, what are my options?
On 3 inch centers the Empire 878 cup pull in zinc is one option, and the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is another at the same 3 inch spacing. Both drop into the same hole pattern, so you can mix them by unit type or building without redrilling. If some of your existing fronts are on 3-1/2 inch or 4 inch centers, the Trimco 562 Series covers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm, which is useful when a portfolio has more than one hole pattern in it.
10) Can I use the Schaub 878 cup pull on cabinet doors, not just drawers?
It will physically mount to a door, but a cup pull is designed to be gripped from below, so on a door you end up pulling sideways against a cup that is not shaped for it. On doors, use a knob or a bar. The Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter or the Blackcomb square knob at 25mm are single-hole options that pair with cup pulls on the drawers below.
11) What is the difference between the Schaub 878 Empire cup pull and the Emtek Schaub Collection cabinet pulls?
They are separate lines that share the Schaub name. The Schaub 878 Empire is a cup pull - a half-cup you hook your fingers under, 4-3/8 inch by 1-7/8 inch overall, drilled at 3 inch center to center. The Emtek Schaub Collection pieces are catalogued by function as cabinet knob/pull and run as distinct series: Emtek 8405 in the Emtek SELECT series, plus the Alexander, Art Deco, and Bar series. If a designer wrote a Schaub number on the elevation, confirm whether they meant the Empire cup pull or one of the Emtek Schaub Collection series before ordering the run.
12) Can a cabinet knob be used in place of the Schaub 878 cup pull?
Not without re-drilling. The Schaub 878 Empire cup pull mounts on two holes at 3 inch center to center using 8/32 thread by 1 inch long screws. A knob is a single-hole part: the Orca Hardware Bachelor Collection round cabinet pull knob is 1-1/4 inch diameter, the Bachelor Collection round ring knob is also 1-1/4 inch diameter, and the Blackcomb Collection square knob is 25mm diameter. Swapping to any of those leaves one of the two existing bores exposed, so knobs suit new faces or a full re-bore rather than a straight retrofit.
13) What is a more modern-looking pull to use instead of the Schaub 878 Empire on a contemporary kitchen?
The Schaub 878 Empire reads transitional. For a squarer, more contemporary line, the Deltana SBP35 is a modern square bar pull at 3-1/2 inch in solid brass, and the Orca Hardware CK-12001 is a steel T-pull bar with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel. The Omnia 1969, 1970, and 1971 are modern forged solid brass cabinet pulls, with the 1970 at 1-1/4 inch projection and the 1969 and 1971 at 1-3/16 inch. Bar pulls sit differently in the hand than a cup, which matters on drawers a crew opens all day.
14) Which alternative pulls keep the same reach off the drawer face as the Schaub 878?
Projection decides whether a pull clears an adjacent appliance handle or a corner return. The Schaub 878 Empire projects 1-1/4 inch from the face. The Omnia 1970 cabinet pull matches that at 1-1/4 inch projection. The Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 sit slightly tighter to the face at 1-3/16 inch projection. All three Omnia pulls are forged solid brass.
15) Will the Schaub Empire cup pull match a transitional kitchen, or is it too traditional?
The Empire 878 is styled transitional, which is the middle ground between traditional and modern. Cup pulls read traditional as a shape, but the Empire profile is clean enough to sit alongside shaker fronts and flat-panel doors without looking period. Paired with Matte Black or Satin Nickel it leans contemporary; in Ancient Bronze or Empire Bronze it leans traditional.
16) I need matching cabinet hardware in the same design family as Schaub, what else is available?
Emtek sells the Schaub Collection under its own catalog, including the Emtek 8405 Select cabinet pulls, the Alexander cabinet pull, and the Art Deco cabinet pull. If you are trying to keep a whole kitchen in one design language and need knobs or longer pulls to go with the Empire 878 cup pulls on the drawers, that is where to look first.
17) I need satin nickel cabinet pulls across a whole unit turn - what are my options besides the Schaub 878?
The Schaub 878 Empire cup pull is offered in Satin Nickel (SN), and also in Brushed Nickel (BN), Antique Nickel (AN), and Polished Nickel (PN) if the existing hardware leans another way within the nickel family. If a bar profile suits the job better, the Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-pull bar is a steel pull supplied in satin nickel with a 2 inch bar width. Standardizing a turn on one part number keeps future replacements a single line item rather than a matching exercise.
18) Is the SDC SP50 spindle a replacement part for the Schaub 878 cup pull?
No. The SDC SP50 is a 50mm spindle used in door controls, not cabinet hardware. The Schaub 878 Empire is a cup pull that mounts through the drawer or door face on 3 inch centers with 8/32 thread by 1 inch long screws, and takes no spindle. If a parts list pairs the two, they belong to different assemblies.
