Emtek Geometric Square Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

No. A mounting screw ships with each knob. It is a single-post knob, so it goes into one hole rather than a pair of center-to-center bores. If your doors are unusually thick (a slab door with an applied panel, for example), plan on sourcing a longer 8-32 screw, since only the supplied one comes in the box.

The Emtek Geometric Square Cabinet Knob is brass through the substrate. For a same-material swap, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is a solid brass cabinet knob, and the Deltana KRB175 Round Knob with Groove is heavy-duty solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter. The Deltana is larger across the face than the Emtek's 1-5/8 inch, which matters on narrow drawer rails and on shaker stiles where a wide knob crowds the frame.

The Emtek Geometric Square Cabinet Knob is a brass knob with a square shape, offered in 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch sizes. If a round profile is wanted instead, the Schaub 131 Round Artifex Cabinet Knob is 1-1/2 inch round, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is another round option. Both are single-screw cabinet knobs like the Emtek, so the mounting approach on the drawer front stays the same; only the face shape changes.

The Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot Cabinet Knob carries a 7/8 inch center to center dimension, which means it mounts on two bore holes rather than the single mounting screw the Emtek Geometric Square Cabinet Knob uses. Ordering it against an existing single-bore drawer front leaves the second hole unaccounted for. The Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval knob is listed with the same 7/8 inch center to center. For a one-hole replacement, stay with a single-screw knob such as the Orca CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob or the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob.

It is classified as residential. For apartment turns, model units, spec homes, and owner-occupied remodels it is the right kind of part. For a high-traffic institutional casework program (a school or hospital millwork package) specify hardware rated for that duty instead.

The Geometric Square is a square-faced knob in the Schaub Collection, so it reads flat and angular next to a round knob. If the rest of the kitchen is round, closer matches from the same kind of hardware are the Schaub 131 1-1/2 inch Round Artifex knob or the Orca CK-19032 Whistler. Mixing square doors with round drawers is a deliberate look, not an accident, so decide it before you order both sizes.

The 1-1/4 inch Flat Black (US19) knob is SPC86295US19. The 1-1/4 inch numbers all run SPC86295 plus the finish code, and the 1-5/8 inch ones run SPC86296 plus the finish code (SPC86296US10B for Oil Rubbed Bronze, for example). If you are reordering to match an existing run, read the size off the number rather than trusting the finish code alone.

A knob like the Geometric Square mounts on a single screw in one hole, so it is the simpler install and the easier retrofit into existing single-bore doors. A pull needs two holes drilled to a fixed center-to-center spacing, which is why people reach for pulls on wide, heavy drawers where a second grip point helps. If your boxes are already bored for a single knob, staying with a knob avoids patching and redrilling the fronts.

The Emtek Geometric Square Cabinet Knob is designated residential. Where a facility wants a knob described as heavy-duty, the Deltana KRB175 Round Knob with Groove is a heavy-duty solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. It is round with a groove rather than square, so mixing it into a run of Emtek Geometric squares changes the look of the elevation; standardize a whole bank of cabinets on one or the other.

Yes, and it is a common way to spec it. Both the 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch knobs are the same square brass design in all six finishes, so the smaller one on upper doors and the larger on base drawers keeps the finish and the profile consistent while giving the bigger drawers more to pull against.

The Emtek Geometric Square Cabinet Knob belongs to the Geometric style. For a Mission-styled elevation, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 comes from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob is from the 19-Whistler Collection. Both are cabinet knobs, so the function on the drawer is identical; the decision is which design family the rest of the millwork follows.
