Deltana KS10 Square Knob, Decorative, 1-3/16" x 1-3/16"

Nine finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze, and Paint Black. That is the full range, so if you are matching cabinet knobs to existing door hardware or a plumbing fixture, the warm-metal side (three brasses plus oil rubbed bronze) and the cool side (two nickels, two chromes) are both covered. The PVD Polished Brass is the one to specify where the knob gets handled constantly and you do not want the brass to tone down over time.

Both. The KS10 is a single-point knob, meaning it mounts on one screw through one hole rather than spanning two bored centers the way a pull does. That makes it interchangeable between doors and drawer fronts on the same run. Where it will not work is replacing an existing two-hole pull, since you would be left with a second hole showing beside the knob.

No. A center-to-center measurement means two holes, and the KS10 is a knob, which takes one. If your casework is already bored on 7/8 inch centers, look at the Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot knob or the Schaub 10040, both of which are built to a 7/8 inch center to center. Going to the KS10 would mean plugging and re-drilling every front.

The KS10 is a square knob measuring 1-3/16 inch by 1-3/16 inch in solid brass. Within the comparable cabinet knob set, the alternatives are round or oval rather than square: the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob and the Schaub 131 1-1/2 inch Round Artifex Cabinet Knob are round, and the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval Cabinet Knob is oval. If the square face is what matches the rest of the run, the KS10 is the one to hold; if the profile can change, the CK-18032 and the Schaub 131 are the round-face options.

The KS10 measures 1-3/16 inch across. For a tighter face, the Schaub 1200 Modo cabinet knob is a 16 mm knob, and the Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot and Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval are 1 inch knobs. Going the other direction, the Schaub 131 Artifex is 1-1/2 inch round, larger than the KS10.

Deltana lists the KS10 as residential. For a multi-family unit turnover, a model apartment, an office kitchenette, or a hospitality casegood it is a reasonable specification. For heavy commercial casework in a school, hospital, or public-facing facility, spec cabinet hardware written for that duty instead. Nothing in the KS10 record carries a commercial grade or cycle rating, so do not put it against a commercial casework spec that calls for one.

The KS10 is the square-face option at 1-3/16 inches. If you want a modern look without the square geometry, Schaub makes the 10040 Cafe Modern Oval knob at 1 inch and the 1200 Modo knob at 16 mm, that last one being noticeably smaller and better on slim drawer banks. Orca's CK-19032 Whistler knob is another contemporary alternative. If the room is traditional rather than modern, Emtek's Art Deco and Allerton cabinet knobs from the Schaub Collection are the ones to look at instead of the KS10.

The KS10 is cabinet hardware, mounted with a single screw through the front, so it suits cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and small casegood or furniture doors. It is not a passage or entry door knob and has no latch, spindle, or rose behind it. For a hinged closet or bifold panel where you just need a grip and no latching, it works fine; for anything that has to hold shut with a latch, you need a door lockset instead.

The KS10 is a knob, a single-point piece with one mounting screw, so it does not cover an opening already bored for a two-screw pull. The Emtek 8665 Select, the Emtek Allerton, the Emtek Art Deco and the Emtek Astoria Glass from the Schaub collection are catalogued as cabinet knob/pull, so those are the ones to look at when the hole pattern is a center-to-center pull spacing. The Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe Modern knobs carry a 7/8 inch center to center.

The KS10 is solid brass. The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is the peer that states solid brass construction as well, so it is the closest match on material when the specification calls for brass rather than a plated or glass knob. The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob is a glass-face knob, so it is not an equivalent on material even though it serves the same cabinet door.

The KS10 is offered in nine finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Brushed Brass, Antique Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome and Paint Black. That spread covers brass, nickel, chrome, bronze and black from one model number, which is what a fleet standardization needs when different units were built in different eras. The Emtek 8665 Select and the Schaub 1200 Modo are the alternatives if the square face is not required.

The KS10 is designated for residential use. On a multi-family unit turn or a hospitality casegoods run that is furniture-grade, it fits; for a job specifying commercial cabinet hardware, the comparable cabinet knobs to evaluate are the Emtek 8665 Select, the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler and the Schaub 131 Artifex. All of these are cabinet knobs, not door knobs, so none of them substitutes for a passage or privacy set on a room door.

Priced and sold each, one knob per unit. So a 22-door, 14-drawer kitchen is 36 pieces, not 18 packs. Worth counting the openings off the drawing before you order, because knob counts on a cabinet run are easy to underrun by the number of false fronts.

At 1-3/16 inches across the face, the KS10 sits in the normal working range for kitchen and bath cabinetry, large enough to grab with a full hand rather than fingertips. For comparison in the same catalog, the Schaub 1200 Modo is 16 mm and reads as a small accent knob, while the Schaub 131 Artifex is 1-1/2 inches round and reads oversized. The KS10 lands between them.

For a traditional look on the same cabinet door, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission collection round knob and the Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob from the Schaub collection carries a period profile. The Emtek Allerton and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler are the other collection-styled knobs in the set. The KS10 stays the choice where the square 1-3/16 inch face is what the design calls for.
