Deltana KE125 Knob, Oval/Egg Shape, 1-1/4"

Residential. Deltana classifies the KE125 as a residential cabinet knob, so for multi-family unit turns, single-family remodels, and spec homes it is the right grade of product. For high-traffic commercial millwork, an institutional lobby, or a hospital casework package, specify hardware carrying a commercial rating instead.

The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob (DLY-43701x) is the nearest like-for-like: both are solid brass cabinet knobs, so the substrate and feel at the door front match, and only the shape changes from the KE125 oval/egg profile. If the specifier called out solid brass rather than a specific silhouette, the Delaney knob satisfies the same material call.

The Deltana KE125 is 1-1/4 inch. The Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe Modern knobs are both 1 inch, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is 1-1/2 inch, so neither hits 1-1/4 inch on the nose. If the drawing dimension is firm, the KE125 is the one that matches; if the note is a nominal size, the 1 inch Schaub pair sits just under and the 131 just over.

Solid brass. The KE125 oval/egg knob is brass substrate, not zinc or pot metal with a brass flash, so the finish sits on brass and the knob has the weight a solid-brass pull has in the hand. That matters on kitchen and bath cabinetry that gets pulled hundreds of times a day, and it is why the finish range includes real plated options like PVD Polished Brass rather than painted lookalikes.

Eight: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, and Brushed Chrome. If you are matching an existing kitchen, note that PVD Polished Brass and Polished Brass are two separate options here, the PVD version being the physical-vapor-deposition plating rather than standard lacquered brass. Order the same one across the run so nothing drifts.

Depends which direction you want to go. The KE125 is a traditional oval/egg profile in solid brass. For a plain round traditional knob, Orca Hardware's CK-18032 Mission Round is a round cabinet knob. For something more contemporary, Schaub's 1200 Modo is a small 16 mm knob and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round. If you want oval but smaller, the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval is 1 inch. Emtek's Astoria Glass knob from the Schaub collection moves away from metal entirely.

Mechanically yes, since single-hole knobs all mount the same way, but finish match is the real risk. Polished brass from one manufacturer will not necessarily match polished brass from another, and antique finishes vary more still. If you are filling in an existing run, order a single KE125 first and hold it against what is on the cabinet before committing to the full count. If you are starting fresh, run the whole job in one finish from one brand.

They are not the same. The Schaub 10030 is a 1 inch Cafe Modern Oval Slot cabinet knob with 7/8 inch center to center, while the Schaub 10040 is the 1 inch Cafe Modern Oval with 7/8 inch center to center and no slot in the face. Both are oval cabinet knobs like the Deltana KE125, which is an oval/egg shape knob at 1-1/4 inch, so the choice between them is the face detail and the smaller diameter.

The Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round cabinet knob, a quarter inch larger across than the Deltana KE125 at 1-1/4 inch, and round rather than oval/egg. On tall or wide drawer fronts the larger round face gives more to grip while still installing as a single-screw cabinet knob.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round cabinet knob comes from the 18-Mission Collection, which is the straight-line Craftsman vocabulary rather than the rounded traditional oval/egg face of the Deltana KE125. Orca also offers the CK-19032 Whistler from the 19-Whistler Collection if a second style within the same brand program is wanted for a mixed elevation.

No. The Emtek Astoria Glass cabinet knob is a glass knob from the Astoria series, so the visible face is glass with metal only at the base, while the Deltana KE125 is solid brass throughout and is offered in metal finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Antique Brass and Brushed Nickel. A buyer matching an existing all-metal knob run should not treat the Astoria as the same face.

Each. The price and the unit of measure are per knob, so a 22-door, 14-drawer kitchen means ordering 36 pieces. Buy a couple extra in the same finish while you are at it, since finish lots on plated brass are easier to match when they ship together.
