Schaub 974 1-1/2" Sunburst Cabinet Knob

The 974 measures 1-1/2 inches across the knob and projects 1-1/2 inches off the face. The base that contacts the door is 3/4 inch. That projection gives a full-hand grip rather than a fingertip pinch, and it is worth checking against anything that swings past the cabinet, like an adjacent appliance handle or a door that opens into a walkway.

The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob (43701x) is the closest straight alternative on material - it is a solid brass cabinet knob, the same base material the Schaub 974 uses. The difference is decorative: the Schaub 974 carries the Sunburst collection's radiating face in the Symphony Elegance style at a 1-1/2 inch knob diameter, while the Delaney is a plain solid brass knob. If the cabinetry is transitional or traditional and you want the ornamented face, stay with the 974; if you want brass with no pattern, the Delaney covers it.

The Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, a quarter inch larger across the face than the Schaub 974's 1-1/2 inch. The KRB175 is a round knob with a groove rather than an ornamented face, so it reads plainer. For larger drawer fronts or where a bigger grip is wanted on a heavily used cabinet run, the KRB175 gives more face; for matching a decorative Sunburst pattern across a kitchen, the 974 is the one to repeat.

They are related but not interchangeable parts. Emtek offers a Schaub Collection that includes the Emtek 8665 SELECT cabinet knobs along with the Allerton, Art Deco and Astoria Glass cabinet knobs, all catalogued as cabinet knob/pull function. The Schaub 974 is a specific part - Sunburst collection, Symphony Elegance style, 1-1/2 inch knob diameter, 3/4 inch base, solid brass, with an 8/32 by 1 inch mounting screw. If a drawing or a prior order specifies the 974 Sunburst, ordering an Emtek Allerton or Art Deco will not produce the same face.

One hole. It is a single-post knob on an 8/32 thread, so it drills as a single centered bore. If you are replacing a two-hole bar pull, you will be left with an open hole to fill unless you move to a pull with matching center-to-center spacing.

Solid brass through the body, not a zinc casting with a coating. For a property manager or hospitality buyer that matters on high-touch cabinetry, where plated pot metal wears through at the grip point. Brass takes the wear into the finish rather than exposing a different base metal underneath.

The Sunburst 974 is a decorative sunburst face in Schaub's Symphony Elegance styling. If you want something unadorned, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty round solid brass knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round knob is a simpler squared-off profile. Delaney also offers a plain solid brass cabinet knob.

Orca Hardware offers two straightforward cabinet knobs: the CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob from the 18-Mission Collection and the CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob from the 19-Whistler Collection, both catalogued as cabinet knob function. Mission and Whistler are clean-lined designs, where the Schaub 974 is a decorative Sunburst face in the Symphony Elegance style with a solid brass body. For a utility kitchen, a rental turnover, or a Shaker door where the pattern would fight the cabinet, the Orca knobs are the quieter choice.

Sunburst is a Schaub collection, so pieces are catalogued together under that collection name rather than as one-off items. Emtek also carries the Schaub Collection under its SELECT cabinet program, including Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria Glass knobs, if you are blending styles across a job and want the finishes to sit in the same family.

Yes, Schaub publishes a Proposition 65 warning for this knob, with the details on their product stewardship page. California buyers specifying it into residential or commercial cabinetry should note it on the submittal.
