Schaub CS881 Concealed Surface Mounted 15" Center to Center Empire Appliance Pull

Yes, if your panel is drilled at 15 inches on center. The CS881 Empire appliance pull is a 15 inch center-to-center pull with a 16 inch overall length, so it covers only a half inch past each mounting hole. If your existing holes are at a different spacing, this one won't line up without redrilling the panel.

The Schaub CS881 is an appliance pull at 15 inch center to center, 16 inch overall, so it suits a full-height panel rather than a standard drawer. For the smaller openings in the same run, the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull in the Schaub Collection is a bar-style cabinet knob/pull, and the Emtek 8405 Select cabinet pull is also part of the Schaub Collection. Trimco 553 Series drawer pulls are offered at 3 inch center to center and the Trimco 562 Series at 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 96mm center to center for drawer fronts.

The fasteners don't show on the face of the pull. It mounts to the surface of the appliance panel or cabinet door, and the screw heads are hidden inside the posts rather than sitting exposed on the front. Nothing has to be drilled through and capped on the show side.

Ten: Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Ancient Bronze, Antique Nickel, Brushed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Empire Bronze, Matte Black, Polished Nickel, and Signature Satin Brass. If you are matching an existing kitchen, the Empire collection runs across smaller pulls and knobs in the same finish family, so the appliance pull can be specified to match the cabinet hardware on the rest of the run.

The CS881 is zinc. If solid brass is the requirement on your spec, Omnia's cabinet pull series are forged solid brass, including the 1968/102 at 4 inch center-to-center, the 1969 and 1971 at 1-3/16 inch projection, and the 1970 at 1-1/4 inch projection. Deltana's SBP35 square bar pull at 3-1/2 inches is also solid brass. All of those are shorter pulls, so they suit cabinet doors and drawers rather than a full appliance panel.

A knob is not a like-for-like swap. The Schaub CS881 is a 15 inch center to center appliance pull with a 1-7/8 inch projection, giving a full-hand grip on a heavy panel. The Orca Hardware CK-15030 and CK-16030 Bachelor Collection knobs are 1-1/4 inch diameter round cabinet knobs, and the CK-17025 Blackcomb square knob is 25mm - single-point knobs suited to cabinet doors and small drawers rather than appliance fronts.

It's a die cast zinc base material, which is the standard for large appliance pulls because it holds a heavy 16 inch span rigid without flexing. For high-turnover multi-family or hospitality units, the practical consideration is finish wear, not strength. Matte Black and the brushed finishes hide handling marks better than Polished Chrome or Polished Nickel.

Empire is classed as transitional, so it bridges both. It carries enough shape to sit with shaker and inset doors without reading as period hardware, and it isn't as stark as a plain round bar pull. If you want strictly modern, a straight bar profile like the Emtek Bar Cabinet Pull or Deltana's SBP35 square bar is the cleaner look.

Emtek carries Schaub Collection cabinet hardware, including the Emtek 8405 Select cabinet pulls and named Schaub Collection profiles like Alexander, Art Deco and Bar. Those are separate pulls with their own sizing though. If you need the Empire profile at 15 inch center-to-center specifically, order the Schaub CS881 rather than substituting an Emtek Schaub Collection item.

The Schaub CS881 is transitional in style. For a more period look in the same Schaub Collection offered by Emtek, the Alexander cabinet pull and the Art Deco cabinet pull are both cabinet knob/pull products in that collection. For a plainer modern line instead, the Emtek Bar cabinet pull and the Omnia 1968, 1969, 1970, and 1971 series are modern cabinet pulls.
