Schaub 711 1-1/4" Country Traditional Cabinet Knob

The 711 knob comes with an 8/32 thread, 1 inch long screw. That length covers a standard 3/4 inch cabinet door or drawer front with enough thread left to seat the knob. On a thicker slab door or a drawer front with an applied face, you'll need a longer 8/32 screw, which is the same standard thread used across most cabinet knobs, so a longer replacement is easy to source.

The 711 has a 1-1/4 inch knob diameter but only a 5/8 inch base where it contacts the door. Anything wider than 5/8 inch on the old knob's footprint, a rosette or a backplate, will leave a witness ring or unfinished wood showing. If you're swapping like for like on a single-hole mount it drops straight in, since cabinet knobs mount on one screw hole. Replacing a knob that had a decorative base, plan on touch-up or a backplate.

The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is the nearest like-for-like: same solid brass base material as the Schaub 711 and sold as a cabinet knob, without the Country Traditional profile. The Schaub 711 measures 1-1/4 inch in diameter with a 7/8 inch projection and a 5/8 inch base, so it seats on a smaller footprint than the Deltana KRB175, which is a 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass round knob with a groove detail. For a kitchen or millwork package where every knob should read the same size, hold to the 1-1/4 inch diameter and change only the finish.

Step up to the Deltana KRB175, a heavy-duty solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter. That is a half inch more grip surface than the Schaub 711's 1-1/4 inch diameter, which matters on cabinet doors opened all day in a shared kitchen or a maintenance shop. Both are solid brass, so the material behaves the same over a long service life; the difference is the size of the target the hand has to find.

No. The Emtek 8665 belongs to the Emtek SELECT series and is carried under the Schaub Collection banner, but it is catalogued as a cabinet knob/pull rather than a fixed-profile knob, so it is a different part with different styling. The Schaub 711 is a Country Traditional knob from the Traditional Designs collection at 1-1/4 inch diameter. If the drawing or the existing run calls out 711, order the 711 rather than substituting an Emtek SELECT piece on the strength of the shared Schaub name.

Projection is 7/8 inch, measured from the face of the door to the front of the knob. That is a modest stand-off, so it clears knuckles in a tight galley or a corridor of upper cabinets without catching a passing hip or apron pocket. The base that sits against the wood is 5/8 inch, and the knob itself is 1-1/4 inch in diameter, so the knob crowns wider than its footprint and gives a finger grip all the way around.

Solid brass base material, not zinc or pot metal. That matters on a rental turn or a hospitality property where knobs get pulled on hard every day: solid brass threads hold up to repeated removal and re-tightening, and the material does not crumble at the screw boss the way cast zinc does when a knob works loose and gets over-torqued back down.

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. If you are matching existing hardware across a kitchen or a whole building, the run covers the four common bronze reads and four brass and nickel tones each, so a match to an installed set is usually available without changing knob style.

A knob like the Schaub 711 mounts on one hole and works on doors and small to medium drawers. On wide or heavy drawers, a bank of deep pot drawers or a file drawer, a two-hole pull spreads the load and gives a hand a straighter line to pull on. The usual split in a kitchen is knobs on the doors, pulls on the drawers, all in the same finish. If you want one part everywhere, knobs are the simpler drill: one hole per door instead of a center-to-center layout.

1-1/4 inch is the workhorse cabinet knob size and grips fine for most hands on doors and standard drawers. Go larger when the cabinetry is oversized, a tall pantry door or a heavy island, or when the users need more to grab, which is a real consideration in senior housing and assisted living. Deltana's KRB175 round knob with groove is a 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass option if you want a noticeably bigger grip in the same material.

For a straight material equivalent, Delaney makes a solid brass cabinet knob in the same class. Staying inside the Schaub design language, Emtek carries the Schaub Collection: the Allerton knob and the 8665 Select knobs sit in that family, and the Astoria glass knob swaps brass for glass if you want a different read on a traditional kitchen. If the look you actually want is craftsman rather than country traditional, Orca's CK-18032 Mission round knob and CK-19032 Whistler knob are the alternatives.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is drawn for that look and comes from the 18-Mission Collection. The Schaub 711 is a Traditional style knob, so on a Mission elevation it reads as the wrong period even though it performs the same function. For a lodge or mountain-modern package, the Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler Collection is the other direction to look.

The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob, carried in the Schaub Collection, is the glass option to run alongside a metal knob such as the solid brass Schaub 711. Because the Astoria is catalogued as a cabinet knob/pull, confirm the specific piece before mixing runs. The Schaub 711 comes in fourteen finishes including polished nickel, oil rubbed bronze, satin brass and flat black, which gives room to match the metal on the glass knob's base.

The Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob and the Emtek Allerton Cabinet Knob, both in the Schaub Collection, are the two styling departures from the Schaub 711's Country Traditional shape. The Art Deco piece runs in the Art Deco series and the Allerton in the Allerton series, and both are catalogued as cabinet knob/pull. Either changes the look while keeping the job in one cabinet knob family, which helps when a designer is switching a single room out of a Traditional Designs package.

The Schaub 711 mounts with an 8/32 by 1 inch long screw through a single bore, which is the common cabinet knob thread. Peers such as the Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob are single-bore cabinet knobs as well, so the door prep is the same hole pattern. What changes across a mixed order is the base footprint the knob covers: the Schaub 711 sits on a 5/8 inch base, while a larger knob like the 1-3/4 inch Deltana KRB175 covers more of the door face, which matters if the old knob left a wear ring or a finish shadow.

The 711 belongs to Schaub's Traditional Designs collection, so it is meant to be run alongside the other knobs and pulls in that collection for a matched kitchen. If you are specifying the whole room, pick the finish once and pull the doors, drawers, and appliance pulls from the same collection rather than matching finish names across brands, since a Satin Nickel from one maker rarely reads identically to another's.

An 8/32 by 1 inch screw is specified with the knob. For a full kitchen or a multi-unit turn, count your door thicknesses before install day: any door or drawer front thicker than about 3/4 inch with the knob seated will need longer 8/32 machine screws, and that is the detail that stops a hardware install halfway through.
