Emtek Georgetown Glass Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Two diameters, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch, and both are offered across the full finish range. The smaller one is the usual choice for drawer fronts and upper cabinet doors; the 1-3/4 inch reads better on large drawers and full-height pantry doors where a small knob looks lost. If you're mixing them in one kitchen, buyers commonly run the 1-1/4 inch on doors and the 1-3/4 inch on drawers.

A mounting screw is included with each knob, so nothing extra is needed for a standard single-hole cabinet knob installation. Worth checking your door or drawer front thickness before you install a full run: a thick shaker front or a front with an applied panel can need a longer screw than the standard one supplied.

Georgetown is residential hardware. For an apartment kitchen refresh, a model unit, or a single-family remodel it's the right kind of part. For a heavy-traffic commercial casework spec, an institutional break room, or anywhere the millwork takes cart traffic and abuse, a glass knob is the wrong call and a solid metal knob is the safer standard, such as the Deltana KRB175 heavy-duty solid brass round knob.

The Georgetown is a knob, which mounts on one hole, so there is no center-to-center spacing to match. If the existing drawers are drilled for a two-hole pull, a knob will not cover those holes and you'd be filling and re-drilling the fronts. In that case look at a pull instead, or a knob with a stated center-to-center like the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval at 7/8 inch, which is drilled as a two-hole part.

The Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass round knob with a groove, described as heavy-duty. That diameter lines up with the larger of the two Georgetown Glass Cabinet Knob sizes, which are offered at 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch. The KRB175 is a plain round metal knob rather than a glass one.

No. The Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot and the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval are both 1 inch knobs with a 7/8 inch center-to-center dimension, meaning they take two-hole mounting. The Emtek Georgetown Glass Cabinet Knob is a single-knob mount that ships with a mounting screw, so swapping to a Cafe Modern means drilling a second hole in the door or drawer front.

Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Each is available in both the 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch knob. The US-number codes are the standard finish designations, so if the rest of the room's hardware is specified as US15 satin nickel, the matching knob is the US15.

The knob body material on record is brass, with glass as the style of the knob itself, so it's a glass knob on a brass base and brass mounting stem. That matters for durability in a kitchen: the wear point on a cabinet knob is the threaded stem and the base, and brass there holds up better than a pot metal stem in a heavily used run of drawers.

Order by finish and by diameter, and the part number carries the finish code on the end. The 1-1/4 inch knob in Oil Rubbed Bronze is SPC86399US10B, Polished Nickel is SPC86399US14, Satin Nickel is SPC86399US15, Flat Black is SPC86399US19, and Polished Chrome is SPC86399US26. If you're standardizing a building or a multi-unit job, fix the finish code first and then decide the two sizes by door versus drawer.

Georgetown is part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, which runs across their door hardware as well as cabinet hardware, and the finishes here use the standard US codes (US15 satin nickel, US10B oil rubbed bronze, US19 flat black, and so on). So if the passage and privacy sets in the room are specified in one of those same codes, the cabinet knob is ordered in the matching code. This is the usual approach on a remodel where the cabinet hardware has to read as part of the same package as the door hardware.

The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is an all-brass knob with no glass element. The Georgetown Glass Cabinet Knob is a brass knob in Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, so the Delaney swaps the glass face for solid brass while keeping brass as the base material. Both mount as standard cabinet knobs.

The Schaub 1200 Modo cabinet knob is 16 mm, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob. The Emtek Georgetown Glass Cabinet Knob starts at 1-1/4 inch, so the 16 mm Modo is the option for tight drawer faces and narrow stiles where a 1-1/4 inch knob crowds the panel.

Unlacquered brass (US3NL) is raw brass with no clear coat, so it darkens and develops a patina with handling. On cabinet knobs that happens fast because hands are on them daily. If you want the brass tone to stay put, the Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) finish is the one that holds its appearance, and Satin Brass (US4) is the softer non-mirror option. All three are offered in both the 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch knob.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob comes from the 18-Mission Collection and is a cabinet knob by function, the same function as the Emtek Georgetown Glass Cabinet Knob. It carries mission styling rather than the glass look of the Georgetown, which sits in Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection.

The Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob is a cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler Collection, and the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is an all-brass knob. Both are single-piece metal knobs with no glass element, which is what a property manager standardizing across many cabinet doors in a turn is usually after. The Emtek Georgetown Glass Cabinet Knob is a residential-rated glass-style knob in brass.
