Schaub 421 Fonce Cabinet T Knob

The Fonce 421 T knob uses an 8/32 x 1 inch machine screw, which is the standard cabinet knob thread. A 1 inch screw covers typical 3/4 inch doors and drawer fronts with room for the knob boss. If you are mounting to a thicker slab front, a thick applied panel, or a front with an added liner, you will need a longer 8-32 screw, which is a common off-the-shelf item.

Yes in most cases. A cabinet knob mounts on a single through-hole, and the 421 takes the standard 8-32 machine screw, so it drops onto the existing bore of nearly any knob you are removing. The one thing to check is the old knob's base footprint: at 7/8 inch, the Fonce base is fairly small, so if the knob coming off had a wide base it may have left a witness mark or unfinished ring on the face.

Projection is 1-1/4 inches off the face. That is worth checking in a tight galley or next to an appliance door swing, since a T knob at that projection gives a full grip but also stands proud of the cabinet line.

It measures 2 inches across the knob, 2 inches overall, with a 7/8 inch base where it meets the cabinet face. The small base footprint means it sits cleanly on narrow rails and slim shaker stiles without crowding the frame.

Solid brass. That matters for a kitchen or bath that gets daily use and regular cleaning, and it is why the two-tone finishes hold up rather than flaking the way a plated pot-metal knob can.

Five finishes: Matte Black, Polished Nickel, Satin Brass, and two two-tone combinations, Matte Black with Polished Nickel and Matte Black with Satin Brass. The two-tone options are the ones to look at if you already have mixed metals in the room, since the knob itself carries both tones instead of forcing you to choose.

The Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter, a simpler traditional profile than the contemporary Fonce T shape. Orca Hardware also offers the CK-18032 Mission round knob and the CK-19032 Whistler knob if you want a different design language. Within Schaub's own designs, the Emtek 8665 SELECT cabinet knobs carry the Schaub collection styling.

The Schaub 421 belongs to the Fonce collection and is a styled contemporary piece in solid brass. If the job calls for a straightforward solid brass knob without collection styling, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob from Delaney's Cabinet Knobs series is the simpler option in the same base material. You give up the Fonce T profile and the two-tone finish combinations the 421 offers, such as Matte Black/Polished Nickel and Matte Black/Satin Brass.

The Schaub 421 Fonce is catalogued as a contemporary style knob, so it reads modern on a shaker or slab door. For craftsman and mission cabinetry, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 from the 18-Mission Collection is the round cabinet knob built for that look. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob is a second option if you want something transitional rather than strictly mission.

Both are solid brass, so either will stand up to turnover cleaning. The Deltana KRB175 is described as a heavy-duty round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, a compact single profile that is simple to reorder in volume. The Schaub 421 Fonce gives you five finish choices across one part, including Matte Black, Polished Nickel, Satin Brass and the two-tone Matte Black/Satin Brass, which lets you carry one knob across different unit finish schemes. The Fonce projects 1-1/4 inch from the face, so in tight galley layouts confirm clearance before standardizing on it.

The Schaub 421 Fonce is a solid brass T knob with no glass element. For a glass face on the same style of cabinet door, the Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Astoria series is the glass option. It is catalogued as a cabinet knob/pull, so confirm you are ordering the knob form rather than the pull when you place it against a drawer schedule.

The 421 belongs to Schaub's Fonce collection and is a contemporary T knob, so it coordinates with other Fonce pieces rather than with traditional or transitional lines. If you are matching across a building, spec the finish code as well as the model, since the same knob ships in five different finishes including two two-tone combinations.
