Schaub 52-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screw comes with the Schaub City Lights 52 cabinet knob, and will it work on a 3/4 inch door front?
The City Lights 52 knob uses an 8-32 x 1 inch machine screw. On a standard 3/4 inch cabinet door or drawer front that leaves plenty of thread engagement. If you are mounting through a thicker front, a false front, or a door with an applied panel, you will need a longer 8-32 screw, which is the standard cabinet hardware thread so replacements are easy to source.
2) How far does the Schaub 52 glass knob stick out from the cabinet door?
Projection is 1-1/2 inches from the face of the door. That matters in a galley kitchen or a tight hallway of cabinets where a deep knob catches hips and pockets, and it matters for inset doors next to an adjacent appliance panel. The knob head itself measures 1-3/4 by 1-3/8 inches overall, with the base at 1-1/4 inches.
3) What is the closest alternative to the Schaub 52 City Lights knob if I want glass but a different shape?
The Schaub 52 City Lights knob is a rectangular glass knob with an overall footprint of 1-3/4 inch by 1-3/8 inch on a solid brass base. If you want glass in a different form, the Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Schaub Collection is also a glass cabinet knob, so it keeps the glass look while changing the profile. Both mount as cabinet knobs, so the decision is purely which silhouette suits the door and drawer fronts.
4) What finishes does the Schaub City Lights rectangular glass knob come in?
Six: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Polished Rose Gold, and Satin Brass. If you are matching an existing kitchen, the polished options (chrome, nickel, rose gold) read brighter against the glass, while Satin Nickel and Satin Brass are the brushed choices.
5) Is the Schaub 52 knob solid brass or plated pot metal?
Solid brass base material with a glass top, not zinc or pot metal. For a rental turn or a multi-family kitchen refresh where knobs get pulled on daily, the brass base and machine-screw mounting hold up better than cast zinc knobs that crack at the screw boss.
6) What is the difference between the Schaub City Lights 52 and a plain round metal cabinet knob?
The 52 is a contemporary rectangular glass knob on a brass base, so it reads as a decorative accent. If you want a straight metal knob at the same face size, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty round solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, the same face dimension as the Schaub. For a more traditional look, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission round knob is the craftsman-style option.
7) For a traditional or craftsman kitchen, what is an alternative to the Schaub 52 City Lights knob?
The Schaub 52 City Lights knob is a contemporary-style rectangular glass knob. For a more traditional look, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob from the 18-Mission Collection is a round cabinet knob, and the Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob in the Schaub Collection gives a period-styled alternative. All three serve the same cabinet knob function, so the change is aesthetic rather than functional.
8) If I am standardizing cabinet hardware across many units, what is a simpler knob than the Schaub 52 City Lights?
The Schaub 52 City Lights knob is a glass-topped knob on a solid brass base with a 1-1/2 inch projection and an 8/32 x 1 inch mounting screw. For a plainer all-metal option across a large unit count, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob and the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob are both straightforward cabinet knobs with no glass element to chip in high-turnover apartments.
9) I want a glass cabinet knob but not a rectangular one. What else is there?
The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob from the Schaub collection is the other glass knob option, a different shape in the same design family, so the finishes and the design language stay consistent across a kitchen if you mix the two on uppers and lowers.
10) Can I mix the Schaub 52 knob with matching pulls on drawers?
Yes, and it is the usual approach: knobs on doors, pulls on drawers. The 52 is part of Schaub's City Lights collection, so matching collection pieces carry the same contemporary styling and the same finish names, which is what keeps a full kitchen looking deliberate rather than pieced together.
11) Can I mix the Schaub 52 City Lights knob with an Emtek Allerton knob in the same kitchen?
They are different designs. The Schaub 52 City Lights knob is a contemporary rectangular glass knob measuring 1-3/4 inch by 1-3/8 inch, while the Emtek Allerton Cabinet Knob belongs to the Allerton series and is a cabinet knob/pull. Many designers run one on uppers and the other on an island, but if you want a uniform look across every door, pick one design and carry it through.
