Schaub 211018 Turno 1-1/4" Round Cabinet Knob

The Turno 211018 takes a #8-32 machine screw, which is the standard cabinet hardware thread, so screws already in your doors and drawer fronts will thread into it. What decides it is screw length, not thread: you need enough screw to pass through the door or drawer front and still bite into the knob. Thicker slab fronts or applied moulding usually mean stepping up to a longer #8-32.

Yes, provided the existing knobs are single-screw knobs on #8-32, which nearly all cabinet knobs are. A knob mounts through one hole, so there is no center-to-center to match, and the Turno's 1/2 inch base is what covers the bore. The real risk on a partial replacement is finish match, not fit: Black, Light, Natural, and Polished White Bronze all read differently, and bronze that has aged in place will not match a new knob exactly.

The Schaub 211018 Turno knob measures 1-1/4 inch in diameter. If you need more to grab on a heavy drawer front, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter. That is a half inch more across, which reads noticeably larger on a wide drawer while keeping the same simple round profile.

Projection is 1-1/4 inches on the Turno 211018, the same as its 1-1/4 inch knob diameter. That is worth checking in a tight galley or where a drawer bank sits next to a wall or appliance panel, since the knob will stand a full inch and a quarter proud of the face. The base that contacts the door measures 1/2 inch.

Four bronze finishes: Black Bronze (BB), Light Bronze (LB), Natural Bronze (NB), and Polished White Bronze (PWB). They are finishes on a cast bronze body, not plating over a pot metal core, so the tone runs through a solid material and wears rather than flakes. Natural and Light Bronze read warmest for a rustic kitchen; Polished White Bronze is the brightest of the four.

Cast bronze is the base material. For a property manager or a builder spec'ing a whole kitchen, that matters more than the finish name: cast bronze knobs hold up in hand-contact use, and the living finishes on bronze mellow rather than wearing through to a different colored substrate.

At 1-1/4 inches the Turno 211018 is a full-size grip knob, fine for cabinet doors and small to medium drawers. On wide, heavy drawers, a bank of deep pot drawers for instance, a single knob makes a drawer rack as it opens; a pull or two knobs spaced across the front is the better call there. The knob works well as the door hardware with matching bronze pulls on the drawers.

A few directions depending on what you are after. The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round knob is the closest in spirit, another round rustic-leaning knob. Orca's CK-19032 Whistler is the alternative round profile in that line. If you want the Schaub design language in a different collection, Emtek carries Schaub Collection knobs including the Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass. For something heavier and larger, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch solid brass round knob with a groove.

The Turno 211018 is cast bronze and offered in Black Bronze, Light Bronze, Natural Bronze and Polished White Bronze. If the job calls for brass, the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob and the Deltana KRB175 solid brass round knob are both brass-bodied round knobs. Bronze and brass patinate differently over time, so pick the material that matches the rest of the hardware in the room rather than mixing the two on the same run of cabinets.

The Turno 211018 is a rustic-style round cabinet knob. In the same visual family, Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission collection, and Orca Hardware CK-19032 is the Whistler cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler collection. Both are cabinet knobs by function, so they mount the same way on a door or drawer front; the difference is the face detailing of each collection.

That is exactly what it is styled for. Schaub lists the Turno collection as rustic, and the cast bronze body with bronze finishes is the standard vocabulary for farmhouse, lodge, and reclaimed-wood cabinetry. The simple round 1-1/4 inch profile also keeps it quiet enough to work in a transitional kitchen where you want warmth without an ornate knob.

The Turno 211018 is a cast bronze knob with a bronze face in all four of its finishes. For a glass face, the Emtek Astoria glass cabinet knob in the Schaub Collection is the option in the same cabinet knob/pull role. That gives you a clear decorative face rather than a solid metal one, which changes the look considerably on a painted cabinet run.
