Deltana KR119 Knob Round with Groove

The KR119 round knob measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter, which is the common mid-size for kitchen and bath cabinet doors. It reads a little larger in the hand than the 1 inch Schaub Cafe knobs and smaller than a 1-1/2 inch knob like the Schaub 131 Artifex, so if you are matching existing knobs on other boxes, measure the face of what is already there before committing.

The Deltana KR119 is a 1-1/4 inch diameter round traditional knob in solid brass. The closest same-material, same-shape alternative is the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob, a round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection. If you want to stay in solid brass specifically, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob (43701x) is also a solid brass cabinet knob, and Schaub's 10040 Cafe Collection knob is solid brass at a 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center.

Solid brass throughout. That matters on cabinet knobs because the threaded boss is part of the casting rather than a pressed insert, so it takes repeated removal and re-tightening better than a zinc or aluminum knob such as the Schaub 1200 Modo. It is specified for residential use, so think kitchens, baths, and built-ins rather than high-traffic institutional millwork.

Nine finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black. If the knobs are going somewhere that gets wiped down constantly, the PVD Polished Brass is the coated version and holds its color better than standard lacquered polished brass.

For a similarly simple round profile, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round knob is the straight alternative. If you want more detail, the Emtek Art Deco and Emtek Allerton cabinet knobs from the Schaub Collection are decorative options, and the Emtek Astoria is a glass knob if you want a non-metal face. For a bigger round knob, the Schaub 131 Artifex is 1-1/2 inches.

They are not interchangeable in appearance. The Deltana KR119 is a 1-1/4 inch round knob in solid brass with a groove detail, while the Schaub 10030 Cafe is a modern oval slot knob, 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center. Both are solid brass cabinet knobs, but the oval slot profile and smaller diameter will read differently on the door face, so do not mix them across the same run of cabinetry.

The KR119 is a 1-1/4 inch round knob. If you want more mass on a large drawer front, the Schaub 131 Artifex is a round cabinet knob at 1-1/2 inch diameter, supplied in Britannium rather than the solid brass of the KR119.

The KR119 is a round traditional knob with a groove detail. For a different design direction, Emtek's Schaub Collection offers the Art Deco Cabinet Knob, the Allerton Cabinet Knob, and the Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob, all cabinet knob/pull items. Orca's CK-19032 Whistler is another option from the 19-Whistler Collection, and Schaub's 10030 and 10040 Cafe knobs are modern oval shapes rather than round.

The KR119 is designated for residential use and is a solid brass cabinet knob. If you are specifying for higher-traffic millwork and want harder alloys, the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob in Britannium and the Schaub 1200 Modo is built in zinc and aluminum. Neither publishes a commercial designation either, so confirm the application requirement before you standardize a facility on any of them.

Standard practice is knobs on doors and pulls on drawers, and the KR119 is a plain round traditional knob with a single groove, so it pairs with most simple bar or cup pulls without fighting the styling. Deltana finishes carry across its cabinet hardware line, so order the pulls in the same finish name to keep the tone consistent.

It is classified as residential hardware, so for commercial casework and heavy institutional use you are better off specifying hardware rated for that duty. For apartments, condos, and single-family work it is a solid brass knob and appropriate.

The KR119 is offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze along with PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Paint Black, so a bronze match is available within the KR119 itself. If the shape is the issue rather than the finish, the Orca CK-18032 Mission Round is the nearest round alternative and the Emtek 8665 Select is a cabinet knob/pull in the Emtek SELECT series.
