Emtek Allerton Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

A mounting screw is included with the knob, so nothing extra is needed for a standard single-bore cabinet door or drawer front. On unusually thick fronts or doors with an applied panel, a longer 8-32 machine screw may be required, which is not supplied.

The Allerton mounts with one screw. If your fronts are already drilled for two holes, look at the Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot or the 10040 Cafe Modern Oval, both 1 inch diameter solid brass with 7/8 inch center to center.

The Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval cabinet knob is a solid brass knob at 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center, which matches the 1 inch size the Allerton offers and keeps the same brass material the Allerton uses. The Schaub 10030 Cafe is also solid brass at 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center, in a modern oval slot shape. The Allerton itself is a brass cabinet knob in a modern rectangular style, so the Cafe knobs differ mainly in the face profile rather than material or size.

The Allerton tops out at 1-1/8 inch. For a bigger grip, the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter and is built heavy-duty, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a round knob at 1-1/2 inch diameter in Britannium. Both are round profiles rather than the Allerton's modern rectangular shape, and the Artifex is Britannium rather than brass.

Six: Satin Brass (US4), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). Every one of them is available in both the 1 inch and the 1-1/8 inch size.

Emtek lists the Allerton as residential hardware. For multifamily unit interiors and hospitality casework it is commonly used, but if your spec calls for a commercially rated knob, this is not catalogued as one.

It is a modern rectangular knob on a contemporary design theme, so it reads squared and linear rather than round or traditional. If you want a round profile instead, the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob and the Orca CK-18032 Mission is a round Mission style.

Yes. The Schaub 1200 Modo cabinet knob is a 16 mm knob built from zinc and aluminum, which is smaller than the 1 inch and 1-1/8 inch sizes the Allerton comes in. Note the material change: the Modo is zinc and aluminum construction while the Allerton is brass, so plating and weight in hand will read differently on a run of drawers.

The Allerton is a contemporary, modern rectangular knob, so it will read out of place against craftsman cabinetry. The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob comes from the 18-Mission Collection and suits that look better, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler Collection is another round-faced option. Both are cabinet knobs like the Allerton, so the application is the same.

Not a like-for-like swap. The KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter and heavy-duty build, while the Allerton is a brass knob offered at 1 inch and 1-1/8 inch in a modern rectangular style. Swapping to the KRB175 changes the face diameter substantially, which matters on narrow stiles and on drawer fronts where knobs sit close together. Both mount as single-hole cabinet knobs, and the Allerton ships with its mounting screw.

The Allerton is designated for residential use. Where you want more robustness on high-turn cabinetry, the Deltana KRB175 is described as a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. It is a round grooved face rather than the Allerton's rectangular profile, and the larger diameter should be checked against stile width and drawer front spacing before you standardize on it.

Yes. It is a cabinet knob with a single through-screw, which works the same on a drawer face as on a door stile. Many jobs run the 1-1/8 inch on drawers and the 1 inch on doors for visual balance.

The Delaney solid brass cabinet knob from the Cabinet Knobs series is a straightforward solid brass option, and the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove. Both keep the brass material the Allerton uses, so they take the same family of plated finishes; the difference from the Allerton is the shape, since the Allerton is a modern rectangular design.
