Schaub 773 1-5/8" Mountain Cabinet Knob

Projection is 1-1/4 inches from the face of the door or drawer, on a 1-5/8 inch diameter head sitting on a 5/8 inch base. That's a full-hand grip rather than a low-profile knob, so in a tight galley or where a drawer bank sits next to a walkway, measure your clearance before you commit to a whole kitchen's worth.

A knob mounts through one hole, so if what's coming off is a knob rather than a pull, the 773 drops into the existing bore with no new drilling. The 8/32 thread it takes is the same thread nearly all cabinet knobs use, so the screws already in your doors will likely thread in. Coming off a two-hole pull is a different job, because you'd be left with an unused hole beside the knob.

Cast bronze, solid through the body, not a plated zinc casting. That matters on two counts: it holds up to daily hand traffic in a rental or hospitality unit, and the living finishes on it wear into the bronze rather than flaking off a plating layer.

Seven: Antique Silver (AS), Antique Bronze (AZ), Dark Pewter (DP), Italian Nickel (IN), Natural (N), Natural Bronze (NB), and Verde Imperiale (VI). If you're standardizing across a whole kitchen or a run of units, order the finish code with the model number, and buy the full quantity in one go so everything comes from the same finish run.

At 1-5/8 inches the 773 is already a large-format knob. If you need more head to grab, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch round solid brass knob with a groove, heavy-duty build. The trade is style: the 773 is a rustic cast bronze piece from the Mountain collection, the KRB175 is a plain round brass knob.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob are both round cabinet knobs in rustic-leaning collections - the 18-Mission Collection and the 19-Whistler Collection respectively. The Schaub 773 Mountain knob is cast bronze with a 1-5/8 inch knob diameter, a 5/8 inch base and 1-1/4 inch projection, so if you are matching an existing run of 773 knobs on adjacent cabinets, confirm the Orca knob diameter before mixing the two on the same elevation.

The Delaney 43701x Solid Brass Cabinet Knob and the Deltana KRB175 Round Knob with Groove are both solid brass; the KRB175 is a heavy-duty round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. The Schaub 773 is cast bronze at 1-5/8 inch diameter. For a property manager standardizing an apartment kitchen package, the 1-3/4 inch KRB175 sits an eighth of an inch wider than the 773, which reads on a run of doors set close together.

Within the Schaub collection carried under Emtek, the Allerton Cabinet Knob, the Art Deco Cabinet Knob and the Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob are all cabinet knob/pull parts in distinct series - Allerton, Art Deco and Astoria. The Astoria is glass rather than metal, which changes the look entirely from the cast bronze Mountain profile of the 773. A designer or remodeler swapping style without changing the cabinet supplier usually moves within these series.

Staying in the same rugged-look territory, Orca Hardware makes the CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob and the CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob, both single-function cabinet knobs. The Schaub 773 differs in being cast bronze with a 1-1/4 inch projection and a 1-5/8 inch head, so it reads heavier on the door face than a slimmer knob does.

The 773 belongs to Schaub's Mountain collection, so it's made to run with the rest of that collection's pulls and knobs in the same finish. If you're mixing brands, Emtek sells a Schaub collection line, including the Allerton, Art Deco and Astoria Glass cabinet knobs, but those are separate designs, not Mountain profiles.

The 773 is specified for an 8/32 by 1 inch screw. Order a longer 8/32 screw alongside it if your fronts are thicker than a standard 3/4 inch slab, or if you're mounting through a face frame with an applied moulding, since the same knob will take any length in that thread.
