Schaub 853-MOP-PN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What screw size does the Schaub 853 Symphony cabinet knob take, and will it work on my existing drilled doors?
The 853 Symphony knob uses a standard 8/32 machine screw, which is the common cabinet knob thread in North America. If your doors and drawer fronts are already drilled with a single knob hole and you have 8/32 screws that suit your front thickness, the knob mounts straight up with no new drilling. Thicker fronts or an added backplate mean a longer 8/32 screw.
2) How far does the Schaub 853 knob stick out from the cabinet door?
Projection is 1 inch from the face of the door, with a 7/8 inch base where it meets the wood and a 1-3/8 inch knob diameter. That 1 inch stand-off is the number that matters in a tight galley or beside an appliance panel, since it sets how far your knuckles clear the face and whether the knob catches a passing drawer or a neighbouring door swing.
3) Is a shell inlay cabinet knob a good choice for a rental or a busy commercial kitchen?
Think twice. The 853 is a solid brass knob with a natural shell inlay face, which is a decorative finish item meant for residential or hospitality millwork where appearance leads. For a rental turn or a high-traffic breakroom, a plain solid brass knob takes abuse better and replaces like for like without matching a shell lot. The Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove is a heavy-duty solid brass option, and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is another plain-metal route.
4) For a multi-family or rental turnover package, what plainer cabinet knob covers the same job as the Schaub 853?
The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is a cabinet knob in the 18-Mission Collection with a round mission face, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob covers the same function in the 19-Whistler Collection. Both fill the cabinet knob function the Schaub 853 Symphony fills, without the shell inlay face, which matters when you are standardizing many units to one look.
5) What is the inlay on the Schaub Symphony 853 knob actually made of?
The knob body is solid brass and the face carries a Symphony Inlays shell centre. Three inlay materials are offered: Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl, and Tiger Penshell. Because these are natural shell, colour and figuring vary piece to piece, so order the full run for a kitchen at one time if you want the closest match across the doors.
6) What finish and inlay combinations does the Schaub 853 come in?
Three combinations: Polished Nickel with Imperial Shell, Polished Nickel with Mother of Pearl, and Estate Dover with Penshell. The shell inlay is tied to the metal finish, so you pick the pair together rather than mixing any shell into any finish.
7) Is 1-3/8 inch a big enough cabinet knob, or should I go larger?
At 1-3/8 inches across, the 853 sits in the normal range for door and drawer knobs and reads as a deliberate feature rather than a small dot, which suits the shell inlay face. If you want visibly more presence on large drawer fronts, the Deltana KRB175 is 1-3/4 inches in diameter. Both mount on a single hole, so the choice is proportion, not prep.
8) What else can I use with Schaub Symphony knobs if I need matching pulls or a plainer knob in the same room?
Emtek carries the Schaub Collection, so its Select 8665, Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass cabinet knobs sit in the same design family if you want to run a second style on islands or pantry doors. The Emtek Select 8665, Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria pieces are catalogued as knob/pull, so check the specific piece you pick is the knob and not the pull form.
9) Can I put the Schaub 853 on drawers as well as cabinet doors?
Yes on both. It is a single-hole cabinet knob with an 8/32 screw, so it goes anywhere you have one bored hole, doors or drawer fronts alike. The limit is drawer width: one knob centred on a wide drawer is harder to pull square than a two-screw pull, so a lot of installers run the 853 on doors and narrow drawers and switch to a pull on anything over about two feet.
10) I need a simpler round cabinet knob instead of an inlaid one. What are the alternatives?
Plain round knobs cover the same single-hole prep without the shell face. Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob and CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob are both straightforward round knob options, and the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob with a groove detail. Any of them swap onto the same bored hole the Symphony would use.
11) Is the Emtek Astoria Glass cabinet knob a substitute for the Schaub 853 Symphony?
They are different face materials. The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob is part of Emtek's Schaub Collection in the Astoria series with a glass face, while the Schaub 853 Symphony carries a Symphony Inlays face in Imperial Shell, Mother of Pearl, or Tiger Penshell over a solid brass body. Both are cabinet knobs, but the Astoria will not match an inlaid shell face on adjoining cabinetry.
12) What cabinet knob works for a period or Art Deco kitchen where the Symphony inlay is too decorative?
The Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob, from Emtek's Schaub Collection, is a cabinet knob in the Art Deco series and gives a geometric period face instead of the Symphony Inlays shell face on the Schaub 853. It is catalogued as a knob/pull function, so it covers the same cabinet door and drawer duty.
13) Will an Emtek 8665 Select cabinet knob mount in the same hole as a Schaub 853?
The Emtek 8665 Select Cabinet Knob is from Emtek's SELECT series in the Schaub Collection and is a cabinet knob/pull. The Schaub 853 Symphony uses an 8/32 thread and screw size, which is the common cabinet knob thread, so confirm the 8665 screw size against your existing bore and screw length before ordering a mixed set.
14) Do the Emtek Schaub Collection knobs match the Schaub 853 Symphony finish options?
They are separate finish programs. The Schaub 853 Symphony comes in Polished Nickel with Imperial Shell, Polished Nickel with Mother of Pearl, and Estate Dover with Penshell. The Emtek Allerton and Emtek 8665 Select knobs are Schaub Collection cabinet knobs in the Allerton and Emtek SELECT series and carry their own finish ranges, so match samples rather than assuming the nickel tones align.
15) Does the Schaub 853 Symphony knob come with mounting screws?
The knob is threaded 8/32, the standard cabinet screw size, and cabinet knobs of this kind ship with a screw sized for typical 3/4 inch fronts. If your doors are thicker, have an applied moulding, or you are adding a backplate, buy longer 8/32 screws to suit, since the supplied length will not reach.
16) Which cabinet knob sits closest to the door face if 1 inch of projection is too much?
The Schaub 853 Symphony projects 1 inch off the face with a 7/8 inch base. If a shallower or differently proportioned profile is needed, the Emtek Allerton Cabinet Knob in the Schaub Collection Allerton series and the Orca CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob are both cabinet knobs with different face profiles worth checking against your clearance.
