Emtek 86434-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Emtek Art Deco square backplate the knob itself, or just the plate behind it?
It's the plate only. The Art Deco square backplate mounts to the cabinet face and the knob is ordered separately, so budget for both parts when you're pricing a kitchen or millwork package.
2) How does the Art Deco backplate attach to the cabinet door?
Surface mount. The plate sits on the face of the door or drawer front and is captured by the knob's own screw through the existing hole, so no routing or mortising is needed. That makes it a straightforward upgrade on finished cabinetry where you don't want to cut anything.
3) What finishes does the Emtek Art Deco square backplate come in?
Six: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26) and Satin Brass (US4). All six are available in the single 1-1/4 inch size, so you can match the plate to knobs and door hardware already in the same US finish code.
4) Is this Emtek backplate suitable for a commercial job or is it residential trim?
Emtek lists the Art Deco square backplate as residential. It's decorative cabinet trim for homes, model units and light hospitality millwork, not a piece specified against commercial durability grades. For high-traffic institutional casework, look at commercial-grade pulls rather than a decorative brass backplate.
5) Will the square backplate work behind a round cabinet knob?
Yes. The plate is square with a single center hole for the knob screw, so the knob shape is a style choice rather than a fit issue. Pairing a round knob with the square Art Deco plate is common; just keep the knob rosette small enough that the 1-1/4 inch plate still reads as a border around it.
6) What is the Emtek Art Deco square backplate made of?
Solid brass, both the material and the substrate, with the plated or coated finish over it. Brass takes the plating evenly and won't rust in a kitchen or bath, which is why it's the standard body material for decorative cabinet trim.
7) I'm doing a period kitchen. Does this backplate suit a traditional or a modern look?
Art Deco styling in an American Classic theme, so it leans period and transitional rather than contemporary minimal. The square geometry with brass plating works in 1920s to 1940s revival kitchens and in traditional cabinetry where you want a defined edge around each knob instead of bare wood.
