Schaub SCH-982 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schaub 982 cabinet knob screw into the holes my old knobs came out of?
In most kitchens, yes. The Schaub 982 threads 8/32, which is the standard cabinet knob screw size, and like any knob it mounts on a single hole. The thing to check before you order a full kitchen's worth is the star base: it measures 1-15/16 inches, so it sits over that much of the door or drawer front around the hole. If the knob coming off had a larger plate or a larger footprint, the 982 will not cover the old outline.
2) Can the star backplate on the Schaub 982 hide the marks left by the previous cabinet hardware?
Within a 1-15/16 inch footprint, yes. The star base of the 982 covers that much of the face around the single mounting hole, which is usually enough to hide the finish shadow and light wear a smaller knob leaves behind. What it will not do is bridge two holes. A knob mounts on one screw, so if you are replacing a drawer pull that was bored on centers, the second hole is still going to show and you will need to plug and refinish it or move to a pull.
3) What is a comparable solid brass round cabinet knob without a decorative backplate?
The Schaub 982 Sonata is a solid brass round cabinet knob whose star backplate spreads to a 1-15/16 inch base, with an 11/16 inch knob diameter and 1 inch projection. If the round brass knob is what you want but the backplate is not part of the look, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is a solid brass cabinet knob, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is a round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection. Both give you the round knob form on its own; the 982 carries the backplate detail as part of the piece.
4) The Schaub 982 knob feels small for a large drawer bank. What is a bigger brass knob?
The Schaub 982 Sonata measures 11/16 inch across the knob itself with a 1 inch projection, so it is a small grip sitting on a 1-15/16 inch star backplate. For a larger grip in the same material, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter with a groove around the body. That is a substantially wider knob face, which is what you would reach for on deep drawers or oversized doors where a hand wants more to hold.
5) Is the Emtek 8665 Select the same thing as the Schaub 982 Sonata knob?
They are different parts. The Schaub 982 Sonata is a cabinet knob, 11/16 inch in diameter on a 1-15/16 inch star backplate, in solid brass. The Emtek 8665 Select belongs to the Emtek SELECT series in Emtek's Schaub Collection and covers a cabinet knob/pull function, so the Schaub name in its title refers to Emtek's collection rather than to the Schaub 982 part number. If a drawing or a purchase order calls out Schaub 982, order the 982; the 8665 Select is a separate item and will not arrive as the star backplate knob.
6) How much finger clearance is there behind a Schaub 982 knob on inset cabinet doors?
Projection is 1 inch, measured from the face of the door to the front of the knob. That is fingertip clearance, not a full-hand grip, and it is normal for a decorative knob of this scale. On inset doors and face frame cabinets it works fine because you are pinching the knob rather than hooking it. If the cabinet is a heavy pull-out or a tall pantry door where someone will put a whole hand on it, a larger knob or a pull will be easier to use.
7) Is the Schaub 982 Sonata knob too small for large drawers, and what is a bigger alternative?
The knob itself is 11/16 inch in diameter with the star base spreading it out to 1-15/16 inches, so it reads larger on the door than the grip actually is. That scale suits upper doors, vanity doors, and small to medium drawers. For a bank of deep pot drawers, or anywhere hand strength is a consideration, step up in size: the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter, which gives a lot more to hold onto.
8) What finishes does the Schaub 982 Sonata knob come in, and how do I match it to the rest of the room?
Three finishes, and that is the complete range: Dark Antique Bronze (DAB), Paris Brass (PAR), and Polished Nickel (PN). Polished Nickel is the one to pick when the faucets and appliance pulls are chrome or nickel, since it sits closest without clashing. Paris Brass carries a warm brass tone for unlacquered or satin brass suites. Dark Antique Bronze goes with oil rubbed and darker bronze hardware. All three are the same 982 knob and the same star base, so you can run different finishes in different rooms of the same building and keep the pattern consistent.
9) Is the Schaub 982 solid brass, or plated zinc with a brass look?
Solid brass is the base material on the 982, with the finish applied over the brass. That matters most on the openings that get used every day, and in rental, hospitality, or multi-family work where hardware gets cleaned aggressively. A cast zinc knob tends to wear through at the edges where hands land; brass wears into the metal underneath rather than off it.
10) My drawer fronts are thicker than standard. Will the Schaub 982 still mount?
It will, because the 982 uses an 8/32 thread, the standard cabinet knob screw size. On a thick front, an applied molding, or a slab with a backer, an 8/32 machine screw in a longer length threads straight into the knob. Nothing about the knob changes, only the screw length, so measure the finished thickness of the front and add roughly a half inch for engagement into the knob.
11) I want a plain round cabinet knob without a decorative backplate. What should I look at instead of the Schaub 982?
The star base on the 982 is a design element, not a functional one, so on a shaker or flat panel kitchen where you want the hardware quiet, it is the wrong choice. Simpler round knobs to look at instead include the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob and the CK-19032 Whistler, and the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove, a 1-3/4 inch solid brass knob. Delaney also lists a solid brass cabinet knob in its cabinet knob series.
12) I want to stay in the same decorative family but use a different knob profile on the island. What else is in that family?
The Schaub 982 Sonata comes out of the Sonata collection in the Symphony Elegance style. For a different profile with related decorative intent, the Emtek Schaub Collection includes the Allerton Cabinet Knob in the Allerton series, the Art Deco Cabinet Knob in the Art Deco series, and the Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Astoria series. Each carries its own shape and its own collection name rather than the 982 star backplate, so mixing them is a deliberate design choice across runs rather than a like-for-like match.
13) The cabinetry is Craftsman, not traditional. What round knob suits that instead of the Schaub 982?
The Schaub 982 Sonata is a Symphony Elegance style knob with a decorative star backplate, which reads traditional on a door face. For Craftsman and Mission cabinetry, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob comes from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob comes from the 19-Whistler Collection. Both are cabinet knobs, so the opening and the use are the same; what changes is the visual language on the door.
14) For an all-metal hardware spec, which of the comparable cabinet knobs are solid brass?
The Schaub 982 Sonata is solid brass, and among the peers the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob and the Deltana KRB175 heavy-duty round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter are both solid brass as well. The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob from the Astoria series carries a glass knob, so on a job where the specification calls for metal throughout, the Astoria is the one to set aside and the brass three are the ones to price out.
15) Replacing worn knobs on older cabinet doors where the face is marked around the old hardware. Which knob covers the most face?
The Schaub 982 Sonata sits on a star backplate with a 1-15/16 inch base, so the footprint against the door is close to two inches wide even though the knob itself is 11/16 inch across with a 1 inch projection. Among the peers, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch diameter round knob with a groove, and the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler is a cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler Collection. If covering marked or discolored face material matters on the job, compare those footprints directly against the 1-15/16 inch base before you commit the order.
16) What other decorative cabinet knobs are close to the Schaub Sonata 982 in style?
If the star backplate is not the shape you want but the decorative direction is right, Emtek carries the Schaub Collection knobs: the Allerton, the Art Deco, and the Astoria Glass, which is a glass knob rather than a metal one, plus the Emtek SELECT 8665, listed as a cabinet knob and pull. Those give you a different silhouette in the same decorative territory. The Sonata 982 is the one to keep if you specifically want the knob mounted on a shaped backplate rather than sitting directly on the wood.
17) Does the Schaub 982 knob come with a California Proposition 65 warning?
Yes. Schaub publishes a Proposition 65 warning covering this hardware for California residents, on its product stewardship page. Worth flagging if you are procuring for a California facility and your purchasing process requires the disclosure on file.
