Schaub 55 City Lights Round Multi Sided Glass Knob

In most cases yes. Cabinet knobs mount through a single hole and the 55 takes an 8/32 screw, which is the same thread virtually every knob on the market uses, so it drops into an existing single-hole bore. The one thing to check is the 7/8 inch base: if your old knob had a wider footprint, it may have shielded a shadow or wear ring on the door face that a 7/8 inch base will not cover.

The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Schaub Collection is the nearest glass-bodied equivalent. Both are glass cabinet knobs from the same design house, so the Astoria is the substitution to look at when the multi-sided round City Lights faceting is not the look you want but glass is. The Schaub 55 is a round multi-sided glass knob on a solid brass base with a 1-1/8 inch knob diameter and 1-3/8 inch projection.

Projection is 1-3/8 inches from the face of the door, with a 1-1/8 inch knob diameter and a 7/8 inch base. That is a fairly deep projection for a knob, so in a tight galley or a run of doors next to a walkway, measure your clearance before committing to a full kitchen of them.

At 1-1/8 inches the 55 is a modestly scaled knob, which can look lost on a tall pantry or a wide drawer front. The Deltana KRB175 solid brass round knob is 1-3/4 inches in diameter, a noticeably larger grip and visual weight for oversized doors while still mounting on a single hole.

Emtek sells the Schaub Collection, so the closest siblings come from there: the Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob is the direct glass alternative, and the Allerton and Art Deco cabinet knobs cover the same collection in other profiles. The Emtek SELECT 8665 cabinet knobs are also part of that Schaub Collection line if you want to mix knobs and pulls from one family.

The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is the straightforward metal option. It shares the solid brass construction of the Schaub 55, which uses a solid brass base under a multi-sided glass body, but drops the glass element entirely. Cabinetmakers and remodelers working a large kitchen package who want one uniform metal knob throughout typically move to the Delaney; the Schaub 55 is the choice when the glass face is part of the design intent.

The Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob is a metal-bodied contemporary knob and the Orca CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is the round craftsman-styled option in the same line of thinking. The Schaub 55 City Lights knob is a contemporary-style glass knob with a 1-3/8 inch projection, so if the cabinet fronts are shallow-clearance or you are pairing knobs with a metal pull program, the Orca knobs give a metal face in a round profile.

No. The Emtek 8665 is part of the Emtek SELECT series and is catalogued as a cabinet knob/pull, meaning it covers both knob and pull applications in that program. The Schaub 55 is specifically a cabinet knob, a round multi-sided glass body on a solid brass base, 1-1/8 inch diameter, tapped for an 8/32 x 1 inch screw. Both carry Schaub Collection association through Emtek, which is why they get confused, but they are different products and the 8665 is not a drop-in match for the City Lights glass profile.

The Deltana KRB175 is the larger-diameter option at 1-3/4 inches in solid brass, a round knob with a groove. The Schaub 55 City Lights knob is 1-1/8 inches in diameter with a 7/8 inch base and a 1-3/8 inch projection. On oversized drawer fronts or full-height pantry doors where a small knob looks undersized, the 1-3/4 inch KRB175 fills the face; the Schaub 55 suits standard door and drawer fronts.

Both. It is a cabinet knob on a single 8/32 screw, so doors and drawer fronts take it the same way. On wide drawers, two knobs spaced across the front pull more evenly than one in the center, and each still needs its own 1 inch screw at the standard 3/4 inch front thickness.

The Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob and the Emtek Allerton Cabinet Knob, both in the Schaub Collection, are the decorative alternatives. Each is a cabinet knob/pull. The Schaub 55 City Lights knob is a contemporary-style round multi-sided glass knob, so it reads modern; the Art Deco and Allerton knobs carry the ornamented styling for a traditional or transitional cabinet package.
