Schaub 706 1-1/4" Country Traditional Cabinet Knob

The 706 ships with an 8/32 screw, 1 inch long. That length covers a standard 3/4 inch cabinet door or drawer front with room to spare. On a thicker face, a five-piece door with a heavy applied panel or a stacked front, the 1 inch screw can run short and you'll want a longer 8/32 machine screw. The thread is standard 8/32, so any longer 8/32 screw threads right in.

The 706 has a 3/4 inch base where it meets the door and a 1-1/4 inch knob diameter. Cabinet knobs mount on a single center bore, so if you're swapping knob for knob there is one hole and the 3/4 inch base sits over it. Where it will not help you is a door drilled for a two-hole pull. The 706 is a single-screw knob and won't cover a second bore.

The Schaub 706 Country Traditional knob is a solid brass cabinet knob with a 1-1/4 inch knob diameter and a 1 inch projection. On tall pantry doors, wide drawer fronts, or heavy inset doors where that reads small, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass at a 1-3/4 inch diameter, heavy-duty construction. The KRB175 is a plain grooved round profile rather than the Country Traditional shaping, so it changes the look as well as the size.

One inch of projection. That is the number that matters in a galley kitchen or a tight bath vanity where a door swings toward a walkway, and it is also what decides whether your fingers clear the face of the door. At 1 inch off the face with a 1-1/4 inch head, there is a comfortable grip for a full hand, not just a fingertip pinch.

Solid brass, not zinc or plated pot metal. For a property manager or an MRO buyer specifying across a lot of units, that is the difference that shows up three years in: a solid brass body keeps its threads when a knob gets over-tightened and doesn't crack at the boss the way a cast zinc knob does. The finish is applied over the brass, so a worn spot exposes more brass rather than bare white metal.

Fourteen finishes: 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. That range is the reason to reach for the 706 on a match job, since it carries three distinct brass tones and four bronzes rather than one of each, so you can get close to an existing patina instead of settling for the nearest catalog standard.

At 1-1/4 inches the 706 is the middle of the road for cabinet knobs, and it reads correctly on both upper doors and drawer fronts, which is why it is the size most people standardize on across a whole kitchen. Go bigger when the doors themselves are large or when the user needs a fuller grip. The Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove is a 1-3/4 inch solid brass knob if you want noticeably more to hold onto.

Style is the only thing separating most of these, since they all mount the same way on a single bore. The 706 is traditional. For a squarer, craftsman look, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob is the counterpart, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler is another cabinet knob in a different design line. If you want glass rather than metal, the Emtek Astoria glass cabinet knob is the one to look at. The Emtek Art Deco and Allerton cabinet knobs are period-specific alternatives.

Yes. Emtek sells Schaub Collection cabinet knobs, including the Emtek 8665 Select cabinet knob in the Emtek SELECT series, the Emtek Allerton cabinet knob, and the Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob. Those three are catalogued as cabinet knob/pull, so the same design can be carried across both knobs and pulls in a run of cabinetry, while the Schaub 706 is a cabinet knob only.

The Schaub 706 is a traditional-style knob from the Traditional Designs collection. For a Mission or Craftsman elevation, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob comes from the 18-Mission Collection and is a cabinet knob of the same function. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob, from the 19-Whistler Collection, is another same-function alternative when the specifier wants a different profile.

The Schaub 706 is a solid brass cabinet knob with a 1-1/4 inch diameter and a 3/4 inch base, and it ships with an 8/32 screw 1 inch long, which is the standard cabinet knob thread. The Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is another solid brass cabinet knob option when the unit turn only needs a durable brass knob rather than the Country Traditional shaping. Confirm the screw length against your door and drawer front thickness either way, since thicker slab fronts often need a longer 8/32 screw.

No. The Schaub 706 is a solid brass knob, so its finish options such as polished brass, oil rubbed bronze, satin nickel, and flat black are metal finishes across the whole knob. The Emtek Astoria glass cabinet knob, from the Astoria series in the Schaub Collection, is a glass knob, so only its base and stem carry a metal finish. If you are matching a run of all-metal knobs on the same cabinetry, the Astoria will not read as the same part even in a matching finish.

The 706 is from Schaub's Traditional Designs collection, which is where you look for the coordinating drawer pulls in the same style and finish. Emtek also sells the Schaub Collection under its own catalog, including the Emtek 8665 Select cabinet knobs and pulls, if you want to stay in the same design family across a larger kitchen.

An 8/32 by 1 inch screw is specified with the knob. If your doors are thicker than a standard 3/4 inch front, order longer 8/32 machine screws along with the knobs, because that is the one part of the job that will stop you at install.

The Schaub 706 projects 1 inch off the face of the door with a 1-1/4 inch knob diameter, which keeps it close to the cabinet face where clearance is tight. The Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, a wider grip that stands further out into the aisle. Measure the swing path against any adjacent wall or appliance before choosing between them.
