Emtek Cone Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

A mounting screw is included with each knob, so nothing extra is needed for a standard installation. Cabinet knobs mount through a single hole in the door or drawer front, so there is no center-to-center spacing to match, unlike a pull.

It is classified as residential hardware. For apartments, condos, model units, and single-family work it is the right fit. For a heavy-traffic institutional casework spec, look at a heavier-duty round knob such as the Deltana KRB175, a 1-3/4 inch solid brass round knob described as heavy-duty.

Both are solid brass cabinet knobs, so the material and the general mounting approach line up. They are not the same profile: the Cone is a tapered cone shape offered in 1 inch and 1-1/8 inch and in eight finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, and Satin Brass US4. If you are matching an existing run of Cone knobs, order the Cone; the Delaney knob is the choice when you are specifying a brass knob fresh and the exact profile is open.

The Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval cabinet knob is a 1 inch knob, the same nominal size as the smaller of the two Cone sizes, so it keeps drawer and door proportions consistent while swapping the tapered cone profile for an oval one. The Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot knob is also 1 inch and adds a slot detail across the face. Both Cafe Modern knobs are listed with 7/8 inch center to center, so they mount differently from a single-screw knob; the Cone is a brass knob supplied with a mounting screw.

No. The Emtek Cone knob is supplied with a single mounting screw and mounts on one center hole. The Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe Modern Oval knobs are listed with 7/8 inch center to center, meaning two fixing points. If the existing fronts are bored for a two-hole knob, the Cafe Modern knobs reuse that boring, while a single-screw knob leaves the second hole exposed unless the doors are re-drilled or filled.

Solid brass, both the substrate and the material of record. That matters on a kitchen or bath run where knobs get handled constantly, and it is why the unlacquered brass version can patina rather than wear through a plating.

The Cone is a contemporary tapered knob in 1 inch and 1-1/8 inch. Within the same Schaub family, the 10040 Cafe Modern Oval is a 1 inch oval rather than a cone, the 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot adds a slot detail at the same 1 inch size, the 1200 Modo is a smaller 16 mm knob, and the 131 Artifex is a larger 1-1/2 inch round. If you want the biggest visual presence, the Artifex; if you want the smallest, the Modo.

The 1 inch Cone carries Schaub-format numbers with the finish code appended: SPC86261US15 in Satin Nickel, SPC86261US19 in Flat Black, and SPC86261US4 in Satin Brass. The base number stays the same across finishes, so quoting the number plus the US finish code is enough to order the right one.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round cabinet knob comes from the 18-Mission collection, which reads Craftsman rather than contemporary. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler is another cabinet knob, from the 19-Whistler collection. The Emtek Cone is a brass knob in a contemporary style, so on a Shaker or Mission door the Orca knobs match the cabinetry vocabulary more directly.

The Emtek Cone is a residential cabinet knob. The Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove described as heavy-duty at 1-3/4 inch diameter, which is the option to look at where cabinet fronts see constant use and a larger, more robust knob body is wanted. The Cone remains the choice where the contemporary tapered profile and the eight-finish range drive the specification.

Yes, it works on either. A knob takes a single screw through the front, so drawer thickness and door thickness are not a constraint the way they are on a bored lockset. On wide drawers, many installers go up to the 1-1/8 inch and keep the 1 inch on doors so the hardware scales with the front.
