Schaub 883 3-1/2" Center to Center Empire Cabinet Pull

Yes. The Empire 883 pull is drilled 3-1/2 inches center to center, so it lines up with an existing pair of holes at that spacing (96mm holes will not line up, they are about 3-3/4 inches). Overall length is 4 inches, so it only overhangs the mounting holes by about a quarter inch total.

The base material is zinc, finished in the Empire collection's plated and coated finishes. If a project spec calls for solid brass, look at the Omnia 1970 or Omnia 1969 modern cabinet pulls, both forged solid brass, or the Deltana SBP35 square bar pull in solid brass at the same 3-1/2 inch spacing.

The Schaub 883 Empire pull is a zinc-base cabinet pull with 3-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing. If a solid brass body is required for the spec, the Deltana SBP35 Modern Square Bar Pull is a heavy-duty solid brass pull also at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center. The Deltana is a modern square bar profile rather than the transitional Empire shape, so it reads differently on the door face even though the hole spacing matches.

The Schaub 883 Empire pull is fixed at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center, so it will not land on holes drilled at 3 inches. For a 3 inch drilling, the Trimco 553 Series drawer pull is offered at 3 inch center-to-center. If some doors in the run are at 3-1/2 inches and others are not, the Trimco 562 Series covers 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center-to-center so one series can serve mixed drillings.

The Schaub 883 Empire pull is built only at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center. For a 4 inch drilling, the Omnia 1968/102 is a forged solid brass modern cabinet pull with 4 inch center-to-center spacing, and the Trimco 562 Series lists a 4 inch center-to-center option as well.

No, those are not interchangeable. The Schaub 883 is a two-hole cabinet pull with 3-1/2 inch center-to-center spacing. The Orca Hardware CK-15030 and CK-16030 Bachelor Collection pieces are 1-1/4 inch diameter cabinet knobs, and the CK-17025 Blackcomb is a 25mm square cabinet knob. A knob mounts on a single hole, so swapping one in leaves the second 883 hole exposed and requires re-drilling or a backplate.

It takes 8/32 screws at 1 inch long, which is the standard machine screw for cabinet pulls and suits typical 3/4 inch fronts with room to spare. If you are mounting through a thicker applied front or a drawer box face, you will need longer 8/32 screws, since the thread size stays the same but 1 inch will not reach.

Ten finishes: Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Ancient Bronze, Antique Nickel, Brushed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Empire Bronze, Matte Black, Polished Nickel, and Signature Satin Brass. Empire Bronze is the collection's own bronze tone, so if you are matching other Empire pieces already installed, specify that code rather than assuming any bronze will match.

At 4 inches overall it fits most standard drawer fronts and door stiles without crowding. On a narrow pull-out or spice drawer, measure the flat area first, and if 4 inches is tight, a knob is the safer call, such as the Orca Bachelor round cabinet knob at 1-1/4 inch diameter.

The 883 itself is the 3-1/2 inch center to center size in the Empire collection, so for wider drawers order the matching Empire pull in the larger center to center size and keep the same finish code. If you need a different family entirely at mixed spacings, the Trimco 562 Series drawer pulls run 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm ctc.

The Schaub 883 Empire pull projects 1-1/4 inch from the door face. The Omnia 1970 modern cabinet pull is a forged solid brass pull with the same 1-1/4 inch projection, so hand clearance and any adjacent appliance or wall clearance behaves the same. The Omnia 1969 and Omnia 1971 both sit slightly closer at 1-3/16 inch projection if a shallower reveal is wanted.

The Schaub 883 Empire pull uses a zinc base material and mounts with 8/32 x 1 inch screws. Where a heavier body is wanted for turnover units or shared kitchens, the Deltana SBP35 is described as heavy-duty solid brass at 3-1/2 inch center-to-center, and the Omnia 1969, 1970, and 1971 pulls are forged solid brass. The Orca Hardware CK-12001 T-pull bar is a steel pull with a 2 inch bar width in satin nickel, a plainer bar profile than the Empire shape.

It is classed transitional, which means it reads clean enough for a shaker or slab door but is not as stark as a straight square bar pull. If you want strictly modern, the Omnia 1968/102 or the Orca CK-12001 T-bar are squarer takes; for a period look, the Emtek Art Deco cabinet pull from the Schaub collection is the ornamental end of the range.

That is the base dimension of the pull, the footprint where it meets the cabinet face. It matters when you are covering old hardware marks or working around a rail edge, since the 4 inch overall length is the grip and the 7/8 inch figure is the mounting base.
