Schaub 532 1-1/4" Menlo Park Disk Round Knob

The Menlo Park 532 disk knob takes an 8/32-1" screw, which is the standard cabinet knob thread, so it mounts through the single existing hole on a drawer front or door stile with no new drilling. Only one hole is involved, so swapping out any other single-hole knob is a direct exchange. Longer screws are what you need if you are mounting through a thick applied panel.

Zinc is the base material on the Menlo Park 532. That is the common die-cast body for a disk knob of this size and it takes plated finishes well. If your spec calls out solid brass specifically, look at the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove, a heavy-duty solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, or the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob.

The Schaub 532 Menlo Park is a 1-1/4 inch diameter round disk knob in zinc. For a larger face on the same round-knob idea, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove, 1-3/4 inch diameter, in solid brass. That is a half-inch more diameter and a brass base material rather than zinc, so the knob reads heavier in the hand and carries a groove detail the plain Menlo Park disk does not have. On a run of shaker drawer fronts the 1-3/4 inch face fills a wide drawer better, while the 1-1/4 inch disk suits upper cabinet doors and narrow drawers.

The Schaub 532 Menlo Park disk knob has a zinc base material. If the specification calls for solid brass, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob and the Deltana KRB175 round knob are both solid brass cabinet knobs. Property managers standardizing a kitchen or bath package usually pick the base material once and hold it across every door and drawer, so decide brass versus zinc before you count quantities rather than after.

One inch of projection, with a 3/4 inch base where it meets the door or drawer front and a 1-1/4 inch disk face. That inch matters in a galley kitchen or a tight laundry closet where a deeper knob catches hips and pockets, and it is also what tells you whether the knob clears an adjacent appliance handle when the door swings.

Seven finishes: Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Ancient Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Polished Nickel, and Signature Satin Brass. For a multi-unit or whole-kitchen job, order the full count in one go. Finish lots on plated and living finishes are not guaranteed to match across separate orders, and Ancient Bronze in particular is a finish you want from a single run.

At 1-1/4 inch diameter the Menlo Park 532 is the middle-of-the-road knob size, and it reads correctly on standard drawer fronts and upper doors in a transitional kitchen. Go larger only on oversized bank drawers, where a knob this size looks undersized against the front. The Deltana KRB175 runs 1-3/4 inch if you want more presence, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission or CK-19032 Whistler are other round knob options in the same category.

The Schaub 532 Menlo Park disk knob is a transitional style, round and unornamented. For a mission or craftsman opening, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob comes from the 19-Whistler Collection. Both are cabinet knobs like the 532, so the function is identical and only the design vocabulary changes.

The Schaub 532 Menlo Park disk is a cabinet knob, a single-screw mount on an 8/32-1 inch thread. The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round knob and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler are likewise catalogued with a cabinet knob function. The Emtek 8665 Select, Emtek Allerton, Emtek Art Deco, and Emtek Astoria glass items carry a cabinet knob or pull function, so they cover both roles. That distinction matters when a contractor is laying out a run of drawers, because a two-hole pull layout and a single-hole knob layout are drilled differently and are not interchangeable after the fact.

The Schaub 532 Menlo Park disk knob is a zinc knob with a metal face. For a glass knob in the same cabinet knob role, the Emtek Astoria glass cabinet knob in the Astoria series is a cabinet knob or pull with a glass body. Glass changes the cleaning and chip exposure profile on a heavily used vanity, so it is worth deciding per room rather than across a whole unit.

Both are single-knob cabinet hardware, so both mount to one bored hole in the door or drawer front. The Schaub 532 uses an 8/32-1 inch thread and screw size and projects 1 inch from the face with a 3/4 inch base. The Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass round knob with a groove. Confirm the screw length that ships with the Deltana against your door front thickness before you swap, since the 532 is supplied to a 1 inch screw length and a thicker front or a different knob body can change what length you need.

The Schaub 532 Menlo Park disk knob is produced in Satin Nickel (SN), Polished Chrome (PC), Ancient Bronze (ABZ), Brushed Nickel (BN), Matte Black (MB), Polished Nickel (PN), and Signature Satin Brass (SSB), which is seven finishes across one 1-1/4 inch knob. That breadth is what lets a property manager hold a single part number across buildings and change only the finish code per property. The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round knob and CK-19032 Whistler knob are separate collections, so switching to them means a new part number and a new finish code set rather than a finish change on the same knob.

Menlo Park is a full collection, not a one-off, so the 532 disk knob is meant to run alongside the other Menlo Park hardware on the same job: knobs on the doors, pulls on the drawers, matched finish throughout. That is the usual split on a kitchen or a bath vanity. Check the Menlo Park collection for the pull lengths that match your drawer widths.

Yes, the Menlo Park 532 knob carries a Proposition 65 warning for California. Schaub publishes the details on its product stewardship page. For institutional and government procurement in California this is the disclosure your file needs.

The Schaub 532 Menlo Park is a plain round disk in a transitional style, which is the point of it: it disappears into the cabinetry. For a knob with a period design, the Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob in the Art Deco series and the Emtek Allerton cabinet knob in the Allerton series are both cabinet knob or pull items with defined design collections. A locksmith or integrator matching an existing historic kitchen will usually be led by the design family already installed rather than by the diameter.
