Schaub 972 1-3/8" Sunburst Cabinet Knob

Usually yes. The 972 mounts with a single 8-32 screw through one hole, which is the standard cabinet knob thread in North America, so it drops onto the existing bore of most knobs you would be pulling off. Two-hole pulls are a different story: those need a knob backplate or new fronts.

The Schaub 972 is a 1-3/8 inch solid brass Sunburst knob in the Symphony Elegance style, so it reads decorative. For a plainer door front, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is also a solid brass cabinet knob but in Delaney's straightforward Cabinet Knobs series, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is a round knob from Orca's 18-Mission Collection. Both give you a simpler face on the same cabinet door.

The Schaub 972 Sunburst knob is 1-3/8 inch in diameter. If you want more to grip, the Deltana KRB175 Round Knob with Groove is a heavy-duty solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. It is a plain grooved round profile rather than the Sunburst pattern, so plan on it reading differently from any 972 knobs already on the run.

Projection is 1 inch, so the knob sits an inch off the door or drawer face. That is the number to check against a nearby wall return, an appliance panel, or a door that swings past an adjacent cabinet. The base that contacts the face is 5/8 inch.

Three: Estate Dover (ED), Hi-Lited Luminescent Bronze (HLB), and Silver Antique (SA). All three are hand-applied antiqued finishes over solid brass, so slight variation between pieces is normal. Order the whole job at once if you want a consistent look across a run of cabinets.

Solid brass base material. For a property manager or hospitality buyer that matters in kitchens and baths, where plated pot metal tends to pit at the screw boss. Brass also means the knob can be re-tightened repeatedly without stripping the threaded insert.

The 972 belongs to Schaub's Sunburst collection within the Symphony Elegance style group, so it coordinates with the rest of that family. If you are matching hardware already installed, match on the finish code as well as the collection, since Estate Dover, Hi-Lited Luminescent Bronze, and Silver Antique read very differently side by side.

A few directions. Staying inside the same design language, Emtek's Schaub Collection includes the Art Deco and Allerton cabinet knobs, and the Astoria glass knob if you want a glass face rather than brass. For something plainer and more contemporary, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission round knob or CK-19032 Whistler are simple round profiles. If you want a larger solid brass round, Deltana's KRB175 is 1-3/4 inches in diameter versus the Schaub's 1-3/8.

The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob is a glass-faced knob rather than a solid brass one, so it will not match the Schaub 972, which is solid brass in Estate Dover, Hi-Lited Luminescent Bronze, and Silver Antique finishes. Use the Astoria only if you are changing the look of the whole run; for a like-for-like replacement of a 972, stay with the solid brass Sunburst knob in the finish already installed.

The Schaub 972 tops out at 1-3/8 inches across, which suits typical face-frame cabinetry but can look undersized on tall pantry or full-height doors. Deltana's KRB175 round knob with groove is 1-3/4 inches in solid brass and gives you more presence and more grip surface.

Cabinet knobs like the Sunburst 972 are ordered per piece, by finish code. Count your doors and drawer fronts, add one for any wide drawer getting a pair, and order that quantity in a single finish so the batch matches.
