Schaub 818-PEN-DAB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Schaub 818 knob actually made of, and is the shell real?
The body is solid brass, and the face carries a genuine shell inlay from the Symphony Inlays line. Three inlay and finish combinations are made: Polished Nickel with Imperial Shell, Polished Nickel with Mother of Pearl, and Dark Antique Bronze with Penshell. Because the inlay is natural shell, colour and figure vary piece to piece, so order a full run at once if you want a consistent look across a kitchen.
2) Will the Schaub 818 drop into holes drilled for my old cabinet knobs?
If the old knobs were standard 8-32 single-hole knobs, yes, the 818 threads onto the same screw and the same hole. The one thing to check is the base: the 818 sits on a 1 inch base, so if the previous knob had a wider footprint and left a finish shadow or unfinished ring on the door, a 1 inch base may not cover it.
3) What is a plainer solid brass cabinet knob to use instead of the Schaub 818 Symphony when the shell inlay is too decorative for the space?
The Schaub 818 is a solid brass knob with a Symphony Inlays style using Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl, or Tiger Penshell. If you want the same solid brass construction without a decorative inlay face, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is a plain solid brass cabinet knob, and the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob with a groove detail at 1-3/4 inch diameter. Both give you a brass knob with an undecorated surface.
4) How far does the Schaub 818 knob stick out from the cabinet door?
Projection is 1 inch from the face of the door or drawer front, and the base that sits against the wood is also 1 inch. That matters in a galley kitchen or a tight hallway of cabinets where a deeper knob catches clothing, and it matters if the cabinet sits next to an appliance or a wall return.
5) How big is the Schaub 818 knob face, and is it large enough for a full-size cabinet door?
The knob measures 1-3/8 inches across. That is a mid-size cabinet knob, comfortable for a full grip on base and wall cabinet doors as well as drawers, and not so large that it overwhelms a narrow stile or a small glass-front door.
6) I want a decorative inlay or glass knob but not shell. What else is there?
Emtek's Schaub Collection covers the same decorative territory with different materials: the Astoria Glass cabinet knob for a glass face, the Art Deco knob for a period metal profile, the Allerton knob, and the Emtek SELECT 8665, which is listed as a knob/pull. Those are the closest stylistic neighbours to the Symphony Inlays 818 when shell is not the look you want.
7) Is a shell-inlay knob a sensible choice for a rental unit or a high-traffic commercial cabinet?
For heavy multi-family or commercial turnover, a plain metal knob is the safer specification. The 818 is a natural shell inlay set in solid brass, a decorative piece for residential kitchens, baths, and hospitality millwork where appearance drives the choice. Where the cabinet takes constant abuse, a one-piece solid brass knob such as the Deltana KRB175 gives you a face with nothing set into it.
8) Is there a larger diameter knob than the Schaub 818 for oversized cabinet doors?
The Schaub 818 has a 1-3/8 inch knob diameter with a 1 inch projection. For a bigger face, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch diameter round knob in solid brass, built heavy-duty, which gives a larger grip surface on wide or tall cabinet fronts.
9) What other decorative cabinet knobs are close in character to the Schaub 818 Symphony if the shell inlay is not the look you want?
The Schaub 818 carries a Symphony Inlays face in Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl, or Tiger Penshell. For a different decorative treatment, the Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob and the Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob are both Schaub Collection cabinet knobs, the Astoria using glass rather than an inlay. The Emtek Allerton Cabinet Knob is another Schaub Collection option if you want a styled knob without a glass or shell face.
10) For a multi-family or hospitality cabinet package, is there a simpler alternative to the Schaub 818 Symphony knob?
The Schaub 818 is an inlaid solid brass knob in the Symphony Inlays style, which reads as a specialty decorative piece. For standardizing across a large number of cabinet fronts with a plainer profile, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob and the CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob are straightforward cabinet knobs from the Mission and Whistler collections respectively.
11) Can I use one knob on cabinet doors and drawers, or do I need a pull for drawers?
The 818 is a knob, single-screw mounted through one hole, so it works the same on doors and on drawer fronts. On wide drawers, many designers run two knobs rather than one to balance the pull. Nothing about the 818 restricts it to doors, and a single 8-32 hole is all the prep needed either way.
