Schaub 980 Left Hand Nature Shell Cabinet Knob

The 980 Nature shell knob is a sculpted shell shape, not a symmetrical round knob, so the shell curves one direction. Schaub offers it left-handed and right-handed so you can mirror the orientation on paired doors or run all drawers the same way. Both handings are offered in Dark Bronze Hi-Lited. If you are doing a run of cabinets, decide up front whether you want them all identical or mirrored on door pairs, then order quantities of each handing accordingly.

The Schaub 980 shell knob is made in left-handed and right-handed versions, so a mixed kitchen means tracking orientation door by door. A symmetrical round knob avoids that entirely: the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob and the Deltana KRB175 Round Knob with Groove, a heavy-duty solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, both mount the same way in any position. The Schaub 980 measures 1-1/2 inch in knob diameter, so the Deltana reads slightly larger on the face.

Projection is 3/4 inch from the face of the door or drawer front, with a 1/2 inch base where it meets the wood. That shallow projection keeps it clear of adjacent doors in a tight corner cabinet or next to an appliance panel, and the small base footprint means it sits cleanly on narrow rails and stiles.

Dark Bronze Hi-Lited (BZ) is the finish offered on the 980, in both handings. It belongs to Schaub's Nature collection in the Symphony Elegance style, so it is meant to coordinate with other Nature collection pulls and knobs in the same finish rather than with a flat dark bronze from another line. If you are mixing in a different brand's oil-rubbed bronze, expect a visible difference since Hi-Lited finishes are deliberately rubbed back on the high points.

It is a cabinet knob, single-point hardware, so it mounts on one hole. There is no center-to-center dimension to worry about. If you are replacing a two-hole pull, you will be filling and re-drilling the drawer front, which is worth checking before you commit on a large retrofit.

No, those are different design families. The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob is a glass knob and the Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob is a geometric Art Deco form, both from the Schaub Collection Emtek carries. The Schaub 980 is an organic shell shape in the Nature collection, Symphony Elegance style, finished Dark Bronze Hi-Lited. Sharing a parent line does not make them a visual match, so pick one family and run it through the whole run.

The Schaub 980 is a 1-1/2 inch diameter decorative shell knob with a 1/2 inch base, built for appearance-led millwork. Where the spec calls out durability, the Deltana KRB175 is described as a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is likewise solid brass. Those give a larger, simpler grip surface for rooms that get cleaned and grabbed constantly.

Emtek sells a Schaub Collection line, so several Emtek knobs carry Schaub designs. The options include the Emtek 8665 Select cabinet knobs, the Allerton cabinet knob, the Art Deco cabinet knob, and the Astoria glass cabinet knob, all listed as Schaub Collection and all functioning as cabinet knob/pulls. None of them is the 980 Nature shell specifically, so if you need the shell profile to match existing doors, stay with the Schaub 980.

Yes. Schaub publishes a Proposition 65 warning for the 980, linked through its product stewardship page. If you are supplying a job in California, that notice needs to pass through to the end customer with the hardware.
