Emtek Cinder Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Two diameters, 1-5/8 inch and 2-1/4 inch, and both are offered in the same six finishes. The 1-5/8 inch is the everyday cabinet door and drawer size; the 2-1/4 inch reads as a statement knob and is the one people usually put on wide drawer fronts or a run of tall pantry doors so the hardware doesn't look undersized. Since finish coverage is identical across both, you can mix sizes on the same kitchen without breaking the finish match.

Going from a pull to the Cinder knob leaves you with two holes and one screw. A knob mounts on a single fastener, so if the cabinet is currently drilled for a pull at 3 inch or 96 mm centers you'll have an open hole to plug and fill, or you use a backplate to cover it. Swapping knob for knob is the clean job. If you want to keep the existing two-hole drilling, look at a Schaub knob with a stated center to center instead, like the 10040 Cafe Modern oval at 7/8 inch centers.

The Cinder knob is a Schaub Collection brass cabinet knob offered in 1-5/8 inch and 2-1/4 inch sizes. If you want to stay with Schaub, the Schaub 131 is a 1-1/2 inch round Artifex cabinet knob, which sits just under the Cinder's smaller size. For a smaller footprint on the same doors, the Schaub 1200 Modo knob is 16 mm. Both are Schaub cabinet knobs, so they read as part of the same family on a kitchen or millwork package.

No. The Emtek Cinder cabinet knob ships with a mounting screw, which is the single-screw arrangement typical of a knob. If the door or drawer front is already drilled for two holes, the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval cabinet knob is a 1 inch knob with 7/8 inch center to center, and the Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot knob is also 1 inch with 7/8 inch center to center. Those two match an existing 7/8 inch bore pattern without filling and re-drilling the fronts.

The Emtek Cinder cabinet knob is designated for residential use. Where the run takes harder service, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter. That diameter sits between the Cinder's 1-5/8 inch and 2-1/4 inch sizes, so the grip stays close to what you were specifying while the knob is built for heavier duty.

Emtek classes the Cinder knob as residential cabinet hardware. For a single-family remodel, a spec home, or an owner unit it's the right category. For high-turn apartment casework or an institutional job where you're standardizing across hundreds of doors, a residential-rated cabinet knob is a specification call you should make deliberately rather than by default, and heavy-duty options exist, such as the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove, which is listed as heavy-duty in a 1-3/4 inch diameter.

Order by size and finish and the part number follows. Flat Black (US19) is SPC86446US19 in 1-5/8 inch and SPC86447US19 in 2-1/4 inch. The pattern holds across the line: SPC86446 is the 1-5/8 inch body and SPC86447 the 2-1/4 inch, with the US finish code appended, so SPC86446US15 is Satin Nickel in the smaller size and SPC86447US26 is Polished Chrome in the larger.

The Emtek Cinder cabinet knob is an Urban Modern, contemporary-themed brass knob. For a traditional or craftsman package, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection. If you want a different contemporary look rather than a traditional one, the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob is another round knob option, and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is a brass knob like the Cinder.

Cinder is Emtek's urban modern, contemporary design from the Schaub collection. It's the knob to reach for on flat-panel and slab fronts where a traditional round or colonial knob would fight the doors. If the casework is more transitional or craftsman, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob is the closer style match, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round if you want a plain round profile in a similar size band.

They are not the same. The Schaub 10030 is a 1 inch Cafe Modern Oval Slot cabinet knob with 7/8 inch center to center, and the Schaub 10040 is a 1 inch Cafe Modern Oval cabinet knob with the same 7/8 inch center to center. The 10030 carries the slot detail and the 10040 is the plain oval. Both differ from the Emtek Cinder knob, which is offered in 1-5/8 inch and 2-1/4 inch.
