Emtek Lawson Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

A mounting screw is included with each Lawson knob, so nothing extra is needed for a standard cabinet door or drawer front. Thicker fronts or applications over a face frame may need a longer machine screw, which is a standard 8-32 cabinet hardware screw.

Yes. It is a single-hole cabinet knob, so it mounts on one bore and works equally on drawer fronts and cabinet doors. If your drawers are already bored for a two-hole pull, a knob will not cover those holes; in that case look at a center-to-center pull instead, such as the Schaub 10030 Cafe knob which lists a 7/8 inch center to center.

The Emtek Lawson cabinet knob is a solid brass knob offered in a 1-1/4 inch size. If the door or drawer face calls for a bigger grip, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Schaub 131 Artifex round knob is 1-1/2 inch diameter in Britannium. Both are round knobs like the Lawson, so the mounting approach is the same single-screw style; the difference is scale and, in the Artifex case, the material.

Two to watch. The Schaub 10030 Cafe modern oval slot knob and the Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection oval knob are 1 inch diameter with a 7/8 inch center to center dimension, meaning they use a two-point mounting pattern rather than the single mounting screw supplied with the Lawson knob. The Schaub 1200 Modo is also not a material match, being zinc and aluminum construction where the Lawson is brass.

Six finishes: 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 the Lawson to Emtek door hardware already in the house is a matter of ordering the same code.

It is classified residential. For apartment turns, custom homes and hospitality millwork it is appropriate; for high-traffic institutional casework you would want something specified for that duty rather than a residential brass cabinet knob.

The Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is the nearest like-for-like alternative: same solid brass material and the same cabinet knob function as the Lawson, which is a brass knob supplied with a mounting screw. Confirm the diameter you need matches the opening layout before swapping, since the Lawson is sold at 1-1/4 inch.

The Lawson knob sits in a timeless classic, American Classic design theme. For a different aesthetic in the same cabinet knob role, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob comes from the 19-Whistler Collection. Both serve the same cabinet knob function, so the change is style rather than application.

The Emtek Lawson is a solid brass knob designated for residential use. If the spec calls for something built up for harder service, the Deltana KRB175 is described as a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. Both are brass, so finish coordination across a unit mix is workable either way.

Emtek files the Lawson under Timeless Classics with an American Classic theme, which is the traditional to transitional end of the range. If the cabinetry is craftsman or mission, the Orca CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob is a closer match; for a contemporary flat-panel kitchen, the Schaub 10040 Cafe modern oval knob reads modern.

No mixing to worry about. Every Lawson knob is the same 1-1/4 inch size, so each of the six finishes is a straight one-line order and the whole run stays consistent. Count doors plus drawers, add a few spares, and order a single finish code.
