Emtek Art Deco Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

A mounting screw is included with the knob, so nothing extra is needed for a standard single-hole cabinet knob bore. Worth checking your door and drawer front thicknesses before you install a large order: thick or slab-faced fronts, and any door with a heavy applied panel, can need a longer screw than the one supplied.

It is a knob, which means one hole. If what is on the cabinet now is a two-hole pull, swapping to the Art Deco knob leaves the second hole exposed and you are into filling and refinishing the front. Knob for knob it is a direct swap. If you need to reuse two existing holes, look at a pull with a stated center-to-center instead, such as the Schaub 10030 or 10040 Cafe Modern knobs, which both carry a 7/8 inch center to center.

Residential. It is the right call for single-family, condo, and multi-family unit kitchens and baths, and for hospitality guest room casework. For heavy-traffic commercial millwork, a nurse station, a school casework run, or a break room that gets institutional-level use, spec accordingly rather than assuming this carries a commercial duty rating.

The Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob is a solid brass cabinet knob in a 1-1/4 inch size. For a round-profile solid brass knob in the same job, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Schaub 131 is a 1-1/2 inch round Artifex cabinet knob. All three mount as single-screw cabinet knobs, so the swap is a matter of diameter and face treatment rather than a different prep.

The Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob is made in a 1-1/4 inch size. If the rail is too narrow for that face, the Schaub 1200 Modo cabinet knob is 16 mm, and the Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern oval slot knob and Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern oval knob are both 1 inch with 7/8 inch center to center. Those give you a smaller footprint on the drawer face while still being a knob rather than a pull.

Not on the same prep. The Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob is a cabinet knob that ships with a mounting screw, which is a single-hole mount. The Schaub 10030 is a 1 inch Cafe Modern oval slot cabinet knob with 7/8 inch center to center, meaning it is drilled on two holes 7/8 inch apart. The Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern oval knob is also specified at 7/8 inch center to center. If your doors are bored for one screw, look at a single-screw knob such as the Schaub 131 Artifex or the Deltana KRB175 instead.

The finish codes are the link. Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, and Satin Brass US4 are the standard US finish designations Emtek uses across its door hardware, so a Satin Nickel US15 cabinet knob is specified in the same finish as a US15 passage or privacy set. Living and hand-applied finishes vary batch to batch by nature, so on a whole-house package it is worth ordering the cabinet and door hardware together.

One size only: 1-1/4 inches. Every finish is built on that same knob, so there is no small-and-large pairing to specify. If you want a visually larger knob on tall pantry or appliance doors, the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove is a 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass knob, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob.

Brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters for two reasons on a cabinet job: brass takes and holds the plated and living finishes properly, and it does not crack at the screw boss the way a cast zinc knob can when it is overtightened by an installer working fast. If you want another solid brass option in a different look, the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob and the Deltana KRB175 solid brass round knob are both in that material.

Style and size are what separate them. The Art Deco knob is a 1-1/4 inch brass knob in Emtek's Art Deco series, an American Classic look. The Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob, so noticeably smaller and a contemporary minimal profile. The Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob, a step up in scale. If you are matching period casework or a transitional kitchen, the Art Deco profile is the one in that vocabulary; for flat-panel modern fronts the Modo reads better.

Order by finish suffix on the SPC86421 base number: SPC86421US10B for Oil Rubbed Bronze, SPC86421US14 for Polished Nickel, SPC86421US15 for Satin Nickel, and SPC86421US26 for Polished Chrome. Flat Black (US19) and Satin Brass (US4) are ordered by finish selection on the same 1-1/4 inch knob.

The Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob carries an Art Deco product style. For a Mission or Craftsman elevation, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob comes from the 19-Whistler Collection. Both are cabinet knobs like the Emtek, so the decision is which design language matches the door front, not a change in hardware type.

The Emtek Art Deco cabinet knob is brass and is designated for residential use. In solid brass, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob and the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove in solid brass are the direct material peers. The Deltana is described as heavy-duty at 1-3/4 inch diameter, which is a larger grip face than the Emtek 1-1/4 inch if your units want a knob that is easier to catch with a full hand.

Purely mechanical. There is no electronic component in the Art Deco cabinet knob, so nothing to wire, no batteries, and no access control tie-in. It is a brass knob and a mounting screw. If a property needs controlled access on casework, that is a different product category entirely.
