Emtek Basin Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Yes, in almost every case. A single-hole knob mounts through one bore, so swapping Basin knobs onto cabinets that already have knobs needs no new drilling. What it will not do is cover the two holes left by a pull, since it is a knob and not a center-to-center pull. If you are replacing pulls, look at a two-hole option instead, such as the Schaub Cafe Collection knobs at 7/8 inch center to center.

The Emtek Basin cabinet knob is a brass knob offered in 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch sizes. If you need a bigger grip, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter, so it steps up from the Basin's largest size while keeping the same solid brass construction.

Six: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26) and Satin Brass (US4). Those are standard US finish codes, so matching them to Emtek door hardware already on the job is straightforward.

Brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters for kitchens and baths where a plated zinc knob can pit over time, and it is why the finish wears the way brass finishes do rather than flaking.

The Basin knob is a residential-grade decorative knob. For heavy-traffic commercial casework, millwork in schools, or hospitality FF and E where cycles are high, spec something built for it, such as the Deltana KRB175 heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter.

SPC86317US10B. The 1-1/4 inch size runs on the SPC86317 base number with the finish code appended, so satin nickel is SPC86317US15, flat black SPC86317US19, polished chrome SPC86317US26. The 1-5/8 inch size uses SPC86318, for example SPC86318US19 in flat black.

Yes. The Emtek Basin knob is brass throughout. If brass is not required, the Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm cabinet knob built from zinc and aluminum, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch diameter round knob in Britannium. Both are round-profile cabinet knobs like the Basin but use different base materials.

The Basin knob is styled mid century modern with an American Classic theme. For a mission or craftsman look, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection. If you want a different design direction again, the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob comes from the 19-Whistler Collection.

Both are solid brass round cabinet knobs. The Emtek Basin is specified for residential use and ships with its mounting screw, and it gives you six finishes across two sizes, which helps when doors and drawers want different scales. The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is the alternative if you are already standardized on Delaney elsewhere in the unit. Pick one line and hold it across the whole property so replacements stay simple.

Basin reads mid century modern with an American Classic leaning, so it sits well with flat-panel and shaker fronts. For a craftsman or mission scheme the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round knob is a nearer fit, and for a hand-worked, hammered look the Schaub 131 Artifex round knob in Britannium at 1-1/2 inch diameter is the alternative.
