What is the projection of a cabinet knob?

Projection is the measurement of how far the hardware stands out from the drawer or cabinet. You may need to choose a knob or pull with a shorter projection height to ensure that your cabinets and drawers open properly in tight corners. Knobs are projecting pieces in various shapes that typically attach with one screw.
