Schaub 851-PEN-ED – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What screw size does the Schaub 851 Symphony cabinet knob take, and will it work with my existing cabinet holes?
The 851 Symphony knob uses an 8/32 machine screw, which is the standard cabinet knob thread in North America. Any drawer front or door already drilled for a single knob screw will take it. Longer screws are the usual fix for thicker or slab-front drawers.
2) What is actually inlaid in the Schaub 851 Symphony knob?
Three shell inlays are offered: Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl, and Tiger Penshell, each set into a solid brass body. Imperial Shell and Mother of Pearl come on a Polished Nickel base, and the Penshell version comes on an Estate Dover base.
3) How far does the Schaub Symphony 851 knob stick out from the cabinet face?
Projection is 5/8 inch, with a 1 inch base footprint on the cabinet face and a 1-1/2 inch knob diameter. That is a shallow-projecting knob, so it clears in tight galley kitchens and narrow hallways where a deeper pull would catch a hip or an appliance door.
4) Is a shell inlay cabinet knob durable enough for a rental or a high-traffic kitchen?
The body is solid brass, which holds up, but the face is natural shell inlay. Shell is a decorative surface for residential kitchens, baths, and furniture, not something to spec across a multi-family turn package where cleaning chemicals and daily abuse hit every door. For fleet standardization, a plain solid brass knob such as the Deltana KRB175 round knob or the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is the more sensible spec.
5) I need a slightly larger knob than 1-1/2 inch. What else is there?
At 1-1/2 inches the 851 is a mid-size knob. If you want more to grab, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch round knob with a groove, in solid brass. Note the natural shell face on the Symphony knob doesn't carry over, so the look changes entirely.
6) For a rental turn where the Schaub 851 shell knob is too delicate, what cabinet knob should I use instead?
For high-traffic or multi-family cabinetry, look at the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob or the CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob - both are plain-faced cabinet knobs with no inlay material on the face to chip or wear. The Deltana KRB175 is described as a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter and is another option where you want mass. The Schaub 851 keeps its natural shell inlay - Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl or Tiger Penshell - which is the reason it is usually specified for display and residential kitchens rather than turn work.
7) Will another brand's cabinet knob mount in the same holes as the Schaub 851?
The Schaub 851 uses an 8/32 thread screw, which is the standard North American cabinet knob thread, so it mounts to a single bore the same way the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob, the Deltana KRB175, and the Orca CK-18032 Mission and CK-19032 Whistler knobs do. Swapping between single-bore knobs is a hole-for-hole change; what varies is the footprint on the door face, since the 851 covers a 1 inch base at 1-1/2 inch diameter and the Deltana KRB175 is 1-3/4 inch across.
8) If I want a decorative center on the knob but not shell, what is closest to the Schaub 851?
The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Schaub Collection uses a glass element rather than a natural shell face, which is the nearest alternative in look to the Symphony Inlays face of the Schaub 851. For a cut-and-faceted metal face instead, the Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob in the same Schaub Collection is the one to look at. The 851 itself carries Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl and Tiger Penshell inlays set into a solid brass body.
9) Can I match the Schaub Symphony look on other cabinets if I need more styles?
Emtek sells the Schaub Collection under its own line, including the Emtek 8665 Select cabinet knobs, the Allerton, the Art Deco, and the Astoria glass knob. Those give you a related design family when you want to vary the look between an island and the perimeter runs while staying in the same collection.
10) I want a plainer round knob for a craftsman or lodge kitchen instead of a shell inlay. What should I look at?
The Symphony 851 is an inlay style and reads formal. For a simpler round profile, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob or the CK-19032 Whistler knob are straight cabinet knobs without decorative facing.
11) Can I mix the Schaub 851 knobs with pulls on the same cabinet run?
Yes. The Schaub 851 is a knob only - one bore, 8/32 screw, 1-1/2 inch diameter. If you need matching pulls on drawers in the same run, the Emtek Schaub Collection series - the 8665 SELECT, Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria - are catalogued as cabinet knob/pull, meaning the same design is carried across both knob and pull formats so the doors and drawers read as a set.
