Schaub 215 1-3/8" Northport Square Cabinet Knob

Almost always, yes. A knob mounts on a single through-bore, and the Northport 215 uses the 8-32 thread that nearly every cabinet knob on the market uses, so the existing hole works. The thing to watch is the footprint: the base is 1 inch across, so if the previous knob had a wider base it may have covered wear or finish shadow on the door that this one will not.

The Schaub 215 Northport is a square knob 1-3/8 inches across with a 1-1/8 inch projection. For a round profile on the same doors, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob and the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob are both cabinet knobs, and the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass round knob with a groove detail. All mount as cabinet knobs; the Deltana runs larger in diameter than the Northport.

Projection is 1-1/8 inches from the face of the door, with a 1 inch base where it meets the cabinet and a 1-3/8 inch knob dimension. That's worth checking against tight galley runs and any door that swings past an adjacent appliance handle or wall return.

Eight finishes: Satin Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Polished Nickel, Polished Chrome, Matte Black, Ancient Bronze, Brushed Bronze and Signature Satin Brass. That spread covers both the warm and cool sides of a scheme, so you can run one knob profile across a kitchen, a butler's pantry and a bath without changing collection.

The Northport 215 is built on a zinc base material. If the job calls for solid brass, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, and Delaney offers a solid brass cabinet knob in its cabinet knob series. Both are round rather than square, so the look changes along with the material.

The Emtek Astoria Glass knob is a glass-faced design and the Emtek Art Deco knob carries a period profile, so neither reproduces the Northport's transitional square face even though both are Schaub Collection cabinet knob/pull items. The Deltana KRB175 is also a step up in size at 1-3/4 inch diameter versus the Northport's 1-3/8 inch, which changes the spacing on narrow drawer fronts.

Yes. The 215 is part of Schaub's Northport collection, so drawer pulls from that same collection share the styling and finish naming. A common approach is knobs on the doors and matching pulls on the drawers, ordered in the same finish code, for example SN for Satin Nickel or MB for Matte Black.

1-3/8 inches across is a full-size kitchen knob, comfortable for a whole hand rather than fingertips, and it is the size most often specified on shaker and flat-panel doors. Go larger only if you are matching existing oversized hardware; the Deltana KRB175 at 1-3/4 inch diameter is the step up if you want more presence.

The Schaub 215 Northport is offered in Matte Black along with Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Ancient Bronze, Brushed Bronze, and Signature Satin Brass, so one square knob covers most finish schemes in a turn. If the units call for a round knob instead, the Orca CK-19032 Whistler and CK-18032 Mission are the round cabinet knob equivalents to standardize on.
