Schaub 704 1-1/2" Colonial Cabinet Knob

The Schaub 704 mounts with an 8/32 machine screw, 1 inch long. That covers standard 3/4 inch cabinet doors and drawer fronts with room to spare. If you are going through a thicker slab front, an applied panel, or a drawer box plus a false front, you'll need a longer 8-32 screw, which is a stock size at any supply house.

In most cases yes. The 704 is a single-hole knob using an 8-32 thread, which is the standard cabinet hardware thread in North America, so it drops into an existing knob hole. Knobs are single-bore, so it also works where you are converting from a pull only if you plug and redrill, since a pull uses two holes on center.

The Schaub 704 is a solid brass cabinet knob with a 1-1/2 inch knob diameter and a 1 inch projection. If you want a larger face on the same solid brass construction, the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter, a quarter inch wider across the face. The Schaub 704 carries a traditional Colonial profile, while the KRB175 is a plain round knob with a grooved detail, so the look changes along with the size.

Projection is 1 inch, with a 1 inch base. That is enough finger clearance for a gripped pull on a full-overlay door without the knob catching a sleeve or an adjacent appliance handle. Knob diameter is 1-1/2 inches, so the head is wider than the base it sits on.

Solid brass is the base material on the 704. That matters for multi-family and hospitality work where zinc knobs tend to crack at the screw boss after a few years of daily use. The finish is applied over the brass body.

Fourteen: Polished Brass, Satin Brass, Antique Brass, Antique Light Brass, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Antique Nickel, Distressed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Aurora Bronze, Distressed Bronze, Michelangelo Bronze, and Flat Black. If you are standardizing a building, order all openings from one finish run, since living and distressed finishes vary by batch.

A 1-1/2 inch knob like the Schaub 704 reads as a full-size traditional knob, appropriate for door stiles and wide drawer fronts on a raised-panel or shaker kitchen. On small narrow drawers or a glass-front upper with a thin stile it can look heavy; a smaller-diameter knob suits those better. The 704 is a traditional-style piece from Schaub's Traditional Designs collection.

The Schaub 704 Colonial knob is a traditional style from the Traditional Designs collection. For a simpler face, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob is another round knob option. Both serve the same cabinet knob function as the 704 but carry contemporary and Mission profiles rather than a Colonial one.

The Schaub 704 is a solid brass Colonial knob and has no glass option. For a glass face, the Emtek Astoria glass cabinet knob in the Schaub Collection is the piece to specify. It is catalogued as a cabinet knob/pull, so confirm the mounting screw against your door and drawer front thicknesses before ordering.

The 704 is a traditional Colonial profile, so it won't blend with flat-panel modern casework. For those runs, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission round knob or the CK-19032 Whistler knob are cleaner shapes, and Emtek's Astoria glass knob in the Schaub Collection is the option if you want a glass head rather than metal.
