Schaub 815 1-3/4" Diameter Large Square Vinci Cabinet Knob

It is a large square knob measuring 1-3/4 inches across with a 1-1/4 inch projection off the face of the door, and a 1/2 inch base where it meets the wood. That projection is substantial, so on a drawer stack check that the knob will not foul a countertop overhang or an adjacent door swing before you commit to it.

In most cases yes. A knob mounts on a single hole, and the 815 uses an 8-32 screw like virtually every other cabinet knob, so it drops onto an existing knob hole. What to watch is the 1/2 inch base footprint: if the old knob had a larger rosette that left a wear ring or unfinished halo on the door face, the smaller base may not cover it.

The Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass at the same 1-3/4 inch diameter, so it matches the Schaub 815 on face size while changing the shape from square to round. The Schaub 815 is a 1-3/4 inch diameter large square knob in cast bronze with a 1-1/4 inch projection. If the cabinet layout was drilled for a knob of that footprint, the KRB175 keeps the same visual scale with a round profile and a brass base material instead of bronze.

Cast bronze, not plated zinc or hollow stamping. That matters for two reasons on a job: the weight and feel are noticeably heavier in the hand, and the living finishes offered on it develop character over time rather than wearing through a plating layer.

Four bronze finishes: Antique Bronze (AZ), Black Bronze (BB), Natural Bronze (NB), and Polished White Bronze (PWB). Polished White Bronze is the light, nickel-toned option in the group if you are matching brushed or polished nickel elsewhere in the room; the other three read dark and warm.

The Vinci 815 is catalogued as a rustic style, and it is a square, textured-face knob in cast bronze, so it fits reclaimed wood, knotty alder, and Tuscan or lodge kitchens. If you want a cleaner or more traditional face, the Deltana KRB175 is a round solid brass knob at the same 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob is a simpler round profile. For period detail rather than rustic, look at the Emtek Art Deco or Astoria Glass cabinet knobs.

The 815 is part of Schaub's Vinci collection, so the matching route is other Vinci pieces in the same finish code. Schaub finishes are also carried through the Emtek SELECT and Schaub Collection lines, including the Emtek 8665 Select cabinet knobs and the Allerton cabinet knob, which is useful if you need a shape Vinci does not offer while keeping one finish family across the room.

Emtek's Select cabinet knobs, model 8665, are part of the Schaub collection and are catalogued as a cabinet knob/pull rather than a knob only. The Schaub 815 is strictly a cabinet knob with a single 8/32 thread mounting screw. If you need a piece that can serve as a small pull on drawers as well as a knob on doors, the Emtek 8665 covers that dual function while staying within the Schaub design family.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob is from Orca's 18-Mission collection and is a cabinet knob, which suits a craftsman or mission cabinet program. The Schaub 815 is a rustic square knob in cast bronze, a heavier, more forged look. Both are single-screw cabinet knobs, so the choice comes down to whether the door style calls for a mission round face or the square Vinci profile.

The Delaney solid brass cabinet knob and the Deltana KRB175, also solid brass, are the brass-bodied options against the Schaub 815, which has a cast bronze base material. Bronze and brass take different finishes, so if a job already has solid brass cabinet hardware and you are matching to it, one of the brass knobs will blend more predictably than the bronze 815 with its antique, black, natural and polished white bronze finishes.

The Emtek Astoria glass cabinet knob is part of the Schaub collection and is a knob/pull in the Astoria series, so it is the glass-faced option within the same design family. The Schaub 815 is a solid cast bronze square knob. A common approach is bronze knobs like the 815 on base cabinets and glass Astoria knobs on upper or display doors, since both come out of the Schaub program.

The Schaub 815 stands 1-1/4 inches off the face, which is a deep projection for a knob and can catch in narrow galley aisles. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob and the Orca CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob are both single cabinet knobs from Orca's Whistler and Mission collections and are worth putting side by side with the 815 if the opening is tight on clearance.
