Schaub 970 1-1/4" Sunburst Cabinet Knob

The Schaub 970 Sunburst knob is a 1-1/4 inch diameter solid brass knob in the Symphony Elegance style, with a decorative 1-11/16 inch base and 1-1/16 inch projection. For a plainer profile in the same base material, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is a solid brass cabinet knob without the ornamented sunburst base, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is a round knob from the 18-Mission Collection. Both read as simple round knobs rather than a decorative rosette, so mixing them into a kitchen that already has Sunburst knobs will not match visually.

The Schaub 970 Sunburst knob is 1-1/4 inch in diameter with a 1-1/16 inch projection. If you want more to grip, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, a half inch larger across. The KRB175 is a grooved round knob rather than a decorative sunburst base, so it is a functional upgrade in size rather than a style match for the Sunburst collection.

No. Emtek sells a Schaub Collection line that includes the Emtek 8665 Select cabinet knobs, the Emtek Allerton cabinet knob, the Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob, and the Emtek Astoria Glass cabinet knob. Those are separate Emtek series - SELECT, Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria - and Emtek lists them as knob/pull items. The Schaub 970 is the Sunburst collection knob in Symphony Elegance style. If a designer specified the 970 Sunburst, order the 970; the Emtek Schaub Collection pieces are different designs and will not match the sunburst base.

Projection is 1-1/16 inches, so the knob stands just over an inch off the face of the door. That matters in a tight galley kitchen or a corridor where a knob catches clothing, and it matters on a drawer bank under a countertop overhang. The knob head itself is 1-1/4 inches across.

Two different measurements on the same part. The 1-1/4 inch figure is the knob diameter, the round head you grip. The 1-11/16 inch figure is the base dimension, the footprint where the sunburst detail spreads out against the door. Lay out your spacing off the 1-11/16 inch number, not the 1-1/4, or knobs set close together on adjoining doors can end up crowding each other.

Three: Estate Dover (ED), Hi-Lited Luminescent Bronze (HLB), and Silver Antique (SA). All three are hand-applied antiqued finishes over solid brass, so expect some variation piece to piece. If you are ordering in stages for a large job, order the whole run in one go and keep the same finish code across it.

Solid brass through the body, not a zinc casting with a coating. For a coastal property, a high-humidity bath, or a rental unit where knobs get pulled on hard, solid brass holds up better than die-cast and the threads are far less likely to strip when a knob is taken off and re-hung.

At 1-1/4 inches the Sunburst is a mid-size knob and it works better on doors and light drawers than on a deep pot drawer. For a larger grip in solid brass, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch round knob with a groove, built heavy duty. It is a plain round profile rather than a decorative sunburst, so it reads very differently on the front.

The Schaub 970 mounts with an 8/32 x 1 inch machine screw through a single bored hole, which is the standard cabinet knob thread. The Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler and CK-18032 Mission knobs and the Deltana KRB175 are all single-hole cabinet knobs as well, so the existing bore generally carries over. Watch the footprint instead: the 970 covers a 1-11/16 inch base, so it will conceal a larger ring of unfinished door face than a knob with a smaller base, which matters if you are replacing worn hardware on stained doors.

The Schaub 970 Sunburst is a solid brass knob throughout. For a glass face, the Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Schaub Collection is the glass option among the comparable knobs. It is a different collection and a different material read, so use it where glass is the design intent rather than as a finish-matched stand-in for Sunburst.

The 970 belongs to the Sunburst collection within Schaub's Symphony Elegance style group. Sticking inside Symphony Elegance keeps the finish vocabulary and the decorative character consistent when you pair knobs on doors with pulls on drawers. Schaub hardware is also sold through Emtek's Schaub Collection, which includes the Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass cabinet knobs if you want a different profile from a related line.

The Sunburst carries a decorative radiating face that suits a traditional or transitional kitchen. If the job calls for something plainer, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission round knob is a straightforward round profile, and the CK-19032 Whistler is another simple option. Delaney also offers a solid brass cabinet knob if you want to stay with brass but skip the ornamentation.

Yes, Schaub publishes a Proposition 65 warning for this knob, and the manufacturer's product stewardship page is linked from the product information. California buyers and anyone specifying for a California job should note it on the submittal.

The Schaub 970 is listed as a cabinet knob, a single-screw round knob 1-1/4 inch across. If you need a piece catalogued to work as either, Emtek's Schaub Collection items - the 8665 Select, Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass knobs - are listed with a cabinet knob/pull function. That distinction matters when a drawing calls out one part number to cover both doors and drawers.
