Schaub 969M 1-1/4" Bulb Sonata Cabinet Knob

Projection is 1-1/8 inches from the face of the door. That is the number that matters in a tight galley or a run of cabinets beside a walkway, and it also tells you how much finger clearance you get behind the knob. The base that sits against the door measures 1-1/2 inches, so plan for that footprint on narrow stiles and on rails where a base could crowd the edge.

In most cases yes. A single-hole cabinet knob mounts on one bore, and the 969M takes an 8/32 screw, which is what almost every existing knob in North American casework is already using. So the hole and the screw thread carry over. What changes is the look on the door: the 969M's base covers 1-1/2 inches, so if you are coming off a smaller-footprint knob, check that the old base did not leave a wear ring or finish shadow larger than that.

The Schaub 969M is a 1-1/4 inch diameter solid brass cabinet knob from the Sonata collection, with a 1-1/2 inch base and 1-1/8 inch projection. The nearest like-for-like in another line is the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob, also a solid brass cabinet knob, which gives you the same material class if you are matching an existing brass program. On the decorative side, Emtek's Schaub Collection carries the Allerton cabinet knob, which shares the Schaub design lineage and is catalogued as a cabinet knob/pull. Both are knobs rather than pulls, so the single-screw cabinet face prep carries over.

The Schaub 969M measures 1-1/4 inch in diameter, which suits doors and standard drawer fronts. Where a bigger grip is wanted on tall or heavy drawer fronts, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass round knob with a groove, described as heavy-duty. That is a half inch more diameter in the same base material, so it reads as a deliberately larger knob rather than a scaled version of the same profile.

Knob diameter is 1-1/4 inches. That is a full-hand size rather than a fingertip knob, so it grips fine on a tall pantry door or a loaded drawer. On very wide or heavy drawer boxes many specifiers still go to a pull for two-point leverage, but a single 1-1/4 inch knob is a normal choice for doors and standard drawers throughout a kitchen or bath.

Solid brass, not plated zinc or die-cast. That matters for turnover units and hotel casework because a solid brass knob does not crack at the boss when a screw is overdriven, and the material goes all the way through rather than sitting as a shell over pot metal. It is a decorative cabinet knob, so it is fit for casework and vanities rather than passage or entry doors.

Three finishes: Dark Antique Bronze (DAB), Paris Brass (PAR), and White Brass (WB). Those are the complete set. If you are matching an existing run of Sonata hardware in a building, order the finish code, not the description, since Paris Brass and White Brass are both brass tones and read very differently in the same room.

The 969M is part of Schaub's Sonata collection in the Symphony Elegance style, so it is meant to run alongside the other Sonata pieces. For a kitchen or a whole-house package, keep the collection and the finish code the same across knobs and pulls and the pieces will read as one set.

For a bigger knob, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty round solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, half an inch larger than the 969M's 1-1/4 inch. For a plainer look in the same size class, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission round knob or CK-19032 Whistler are straightforward round cabinet knobs. The 969M is the choice when you want the decorative bulb shape of the Sonata line.

They are related lines, not the same part. Emtek's Schaub Collection includes pieces like the 8665 Select, the Allerton, and the Astoria Glass cabinet knobs, all catalogued as cabinet knob/pull. The 969M is a Schaub-branded Bulb Sonata knob, 1-1/4 inch diameter with a 1-1/8 inch projection. If a drawing calls out 969M specifically, order the Schaub part; the Emtek Schaub Collection pieces are different designs and will not match a Sonata run.

A knob mounts on one bore and takes one screw, so it is faster to install and easier to keep consistent across a large casework package. A pull needs two bores at a fixed center-to-center and has to be laid out. Typical practice is knobs on doors and on small drawers, pulls on wide or heavy drawers. The 969M is a 1-1/4 inch knob with a 1-1/8 inch projection, which gives enough grip to work on doors and standard drawers alike if you want one part number through the whole job.

The Schaub 969M carries a Symphony Elegance style in the Sonata collection, a decorative bulb profile. For a plainer, more austere face, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob comes from the 18-Mission collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob comes from the 19-Whistler collection. Both are cabinet knobs, so they mount to the same single-hole cabinet prep, and both trade the ornamental bulb shaping for a simpler round face.

The Schaub 969M is a solid brass bulb knob in the Sonata collection, 1-1/4 inch in diameter, offered in Dark Antique Bronze, Paris Brass, and White Brass. If the design needs a period-specific face on some runs, the Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob and the Emtek Astoria glass cabinet knob are both cabinet knob/pull items in Emtek's Schaub Collection, and the Astoria brings a glass face rather than an all-metal one. All mount as cabinet knobs, so one prep serves the whole package while the visible face changes by room.

The Schaub 969M takes an 8-32 machine screw, the standard thread for cabinet knobs. Cross-brand knobs such as the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob, the Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler knob are all cabinet knobs mounting through the same single-hole door or drawer face. Confirm screw length against your panel thickness on any swap, since projection and base differ by model and the 969M itself projects 1-1/8 inch off a 1-1/2 inch base.
