Schaub 789 1-1/4" Diameter Square Vinci Cabinet Knob

Yes, in almost every case. A knob mounts on a single hole with one screw, and the 789 takes an 8-32 screw, the same thread used on standard cabinet knobs, so it drops onto an existing single-hole knob bore. What it will not do is cover two holes left by a pull; if you are converting from pulls to knobs you will need to plug and refinish or use a backplate.

The Schaub 789 is a square Vinci-collection cabinet knob, 1-1/4 inch diameter, cast bronze. If the design calls for a round face instead, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob and the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob are both cabinet knobs with a round profile. The Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter, which is a noticeably larger face than the 789.

Projection is 1-1/4 inches, so the knob stands that far off the door or drawer face. That matters in tight galley kitchens and where drawers sit next to a wall or an appliance return, since the grip point is 1-1/4 inches out from the front. The base that contacts the cabinet is 1/2 inch.

Cast bronze, not plated zinc or hollow stamped metal. That is why the finishes are all bronze variants: the finish is applied to the bronze body, so edge wear on a heavily used drawer shows as bronze rather than as a bright base metal underneath. For property managers and hospitality buyers replacing knobs on high-traffic casework, that is the practical durability difference.

Four: Antique Bronze (AZ), Black Bronze (BB), Natural Bronze (NB), and Polished White Bronze (PWB). Natural Bronze is a living finish that will darken with handling, so on a large kitchen or a multi-unit order, order all the knobs at once if you want them to age together. Polished White Bronze is the lightest of the four if you need something closer to a nickel tone.

Look at the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob or the CK-19032 Whistler knob, both cabinet knobs in different collections, if you want a different profile. For a larger round option instead, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch round knob with a groove in solid brass, heavy-duty. Emtek's Schaub Collection knobs, such as the Allerton and the Art Deco, are the closest family in styling since they are Schaub designs.

The Schaub 789 is a rustic-style square knob in cast bronze. For a comparable traditional or craftsman feel, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 belongs to the 18-Mission Collection, and the Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob from the Schaub Collection offers a period-styled alternative. The Emtek Astoria Glass knob swaps metal for a glass face if you want contrast against bronze pulls.

The Schaub 789 is specified as a cabinet knob with a 1-1/4 inch projection. The Emtek 8665 Select, Allerton, Art Deco and Astoria Glass items from the Schaub Collection are catalogued with a cabinet knob/pull function, so they cover openings where a knob or a short pull form is wanted. On wide drawers many specifiers still run a true pull rather than any knob, so confirm the elevation before standardizing.
