Yes, they will fit a 3-hole, because they have the pull-rod. Looks great!
Our issue is finding a style we like (single lever, 3-hole) in oil-rubbed bronze. Not as many choices.

I know the bath has the pull rod, and the kitchen has the pull out hose. There is currently a 3 foot snow drift between me and the Cyclone so there won't be any going to look today.

BR sink faucet set doesn't necessarily have to have a pull up drain rod.
We just replaced our sink faucets while giving our S&B BR a facelift. The brand the DW selected from Lowes only used the center hole with a plate to cover the other two. The drain assembly is a push/snap locking setup. Pretty neat actually.

Changed out the bathroom facet today.
Before:
After:
Pretty straight forward took less than an 1/2 hour to replace. I'll check for leaks here in a couple of weeks after de-winterization, but I got the fittings as tight as I dared. The new facet has all brass innards. It's a Pfister "Solita" model #F-048-SOKK Brushed Nickle Finish. It also comes with a "push and seal" drain, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna change that out or not (unless the Commander makes up my mind for me). It was about 80 bucks at our local hardware store so I'm sure you could find it cheaper at one of the big box stores, but we like our local guy. Once the Commander decides on the kitchen that will be next. Stay tuned.

Thanks. I was wrong about the mechanical stopper, it just had a manual one so yes the current stopper works just fine. The "Boss" has been eyeballing the new fancy pants stopper pretty hard though.

Good job and easy enough to do. See my comment in Post #45. The two sink and bathtub fixture upgrades I did in the house are the same brand with the "push & snap" drain stoppers. The DW is happy with them...
