Schaub 1200-GM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How big is the Schaub Modo 1200 cabinet knob, and how far does it stand off the door?
The Modo 1200 is a small knob: 5/8 inch knob diameter, 5/8 inch overall, with a 7/8 inch projection off the face of the door or drawer front. So the grip sits nearly an inch proud even though the knob face is only 5/8 inch across. If you have thick pulls or hardware nearby on a tight drawer bank, that 7/8 inch projection is the number to check against your clearances, not the diameter.
2) What screw comes with the Schaub Modo knob, and will it work on a thick shaker drawer front?
Each Modo 1200 knob ships with one break-off screw, M4 x 45 mm. Break-off means you snap the screw down to the length your door or drawer front needs rather than stocking multiple screw lengths, and at 45 mm of usable shank it covers thin slab fronts up through heavy five-piece or applied-molding fronts. It is metric M4, so if you are reusing hardware from an existing install with #8-32 screws, use the screw supplied with the knob, not the old one.
3) Is the Schaub Modo 1200 knob solid brass or plated zinc?
Base material is zinc and aluminum, not solid brass. That matters for two reasons: the finish is applied over a cast base rather than being the metal itself, and the knob is lighter in hand than a solid brass knob of the same size. If a solid brass body is what you are specifying, the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove is solid brass, in a 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is another brass-bodied option.
4) Is this Schaub knob rated for commercial use, or is it a residential knob?
The Modo 1200 is classified residential. For multi-family unit interiors, model units, and spec homes that is the intended use. For a high-traffic commercial millwork job where the knob gets pulled hundreds of times a day, look at a heavy-duty option instead, such as the Deltana KRB175, which is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob.
5) Will a 5/8 inch knob be big enough to grab, or should I use something larger?
At 5/8 inch across, the Modo is a small, minimal knob. It works where the look is contemporary and the knob is meant to disappear into a flat slab front, and the 7/8 inch projection gives you more to hook a finger under than the face diameter suggests. If you want something a hand can wrap, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch diameter round knob, nearly three times the face width. For utility drawers, pantry doors, and anywhere older tenants or gloved hands are opening it, the larger knob is the easier grab.
6) Can I use the Schaub Modo knob to replace an existing cabinet knob without drilling new holes?
Cabinet knobs mount on a single center hole, so the Modo 1200 drops onto an existing single-bore knob hole with no new drilling. The supplied M4 x 45 break-off screw snaps to your front thickness. What it will not do is cover a two-hole pull bore. If you are converting from pulls to knobs, you will have two old holes to fill and patch, or you stay with a pull. Also worth checking: the Modo face is only 5/8 inch, so it will not hide any wear ring or finish shadow left by a larger knob that was there before.
7) What is a comparable contemporary cabinet knob to the Schaub 1200 Modo if a wider knob face is wanted?
The Schaub 1200 Modo knob has a 5/8 inch knob diameter with a 7/8 inch projection, which is a small, close-set contemporary knob. For a substantially larger face on the same door or drawer, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in a 1-3/4 inch diameter, solid brass and heavy-duty. The two mount the same way on a standard cabinet door but read very differently in scale, so the choice is about the visual weight wanted across a run of fronts.
8) What finishes does the Schaub Modo 1200 knob come in?
Four finishes: Gun Metal (GM), Matte Black (MB), Polished Rose Gold (PRG), and Signature Satin Brass (SSB). That is the complete run for the 16 mm Modo knob. Gun Metal and Matte Black are the dark options if you are matching contemporary dark faucets or appliance pulls; Polished Rose Gold and Signature Satin Brass are the warm ones. If you are outfitting a whole kitchen or a unit turn, order all of a run at once so plating lots match.
9) I need a round cabinet knob but not a contemporary one. What are my other options?
The Modo 1200 is specifically a contemporary design. For a traditional or craftsman round knob, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler is another round knob option. For a classic grooved round knob in brass, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch round knob with a groove. All three are knob-function parts on a single-bore mount like the Modo, so the hole layout does not change if you switch.
10) Do I need to order screws separately for the Schaub Modo cabinet knobs?
No separate screw order. Each Modo 1200 knob includes one M4 x 45 break-off screw, so a box of knobs is a complete install as long as your fronts are already bored. What is not included is anything for a new bore, so if this is new millwork rather than a hardware swap, plan on a drill jig and a backer block to keep the exit side from blowing out.
11) Which cabinet knobs are the closest straight equivalent to the Schaub 1200 Modo in function?
The 1200 Modo is a cabinet knob, single-hole mounted with one M4x45 break-off screw. The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round and CK-19032 Whistler are both listed with a cabinet knob function, so they serve the same role on a door or drawer front. The Mission Round and Whistler are traditional and transitional series rather than the contemporary MODO styling, which is where the difference shows up on a cabinet run.
12) Is the Emtek 8665 a direct substitute for a Schaub 1200 Modo knob?
Not exactly. The Emtek 8665 is in the Emtek SELECT series and is listed as a cabinet knob/pull, meaning the series covers pull configurations as well as knobs, while the Schaub 1200 Modo is a cabinet knob only. On a job where every front takes a single-hole knob, confirm the 8665 configuration ordered is the knob and not a pull, since a pull requires a second bore in the front.
13) What else does Schaub make in the MODO collection if I need pulls to match these knobs?
The 1200 knob is part of Schaub's MODO collection, a contemporary line, so matching MODO pulls and appendages carry the same finish designations, including Gun Metal, Matte Black, Polished Rose Gold, and Signature Satin Brass. If you are mixing knobs on doors and pulls on drawers in the same kitchen, stay inside the MODO collection and specify the same finish code across both so the plating reads as one set.
14) For a residential kitchen where a knob has to hold up to daily use, what is a heavier-duty option than the Schaub Modo?
The Schaub 1200 Modo is a residential cabinet knob in zinc and aluminum with a 5/8 inch diameter. Where a heavier body is preferred, the Deltana KRB175 is described as a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is another brass-bodied choice. All three install into a single knob bore, so the swap is a matter of body material and face size rather than a change in the cabinet front prep.
15) What knob works if the design calls for a glass or decorative face instead of a plain contemporary knob?
The Schaub 1200 Modo is a contemporary knob with a plain 5/8 inch face. Where a decorative face is wanted, the Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Astoria series carries a glass element, and the Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob in the Art Deco series is a period-styled alternative. Both are listed as cabinet knob/pull, so verify the knob configuration when ordering against single-bore fronts.
