Emtek 86465-US4 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek Midvale cabinet knob come with a mounting screw?
Yes, a mounting screw is included with each knob. It is a single-screw knob, so there is no center-to-center spacing to match, just one hole through the door or drawer front. On unusually thick fronts you may need a longer 8-32 machine screw than the one supplied.
2) What finishes is the Midvale knob available in?
Six: 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 knob to Emtek door hardware already in the house is a matter of ordering the same code.
3) Will the Midvale knob fit a kitchen that currently has pulls with two screw holes?
No, not without filling holes. The Midvale is a knob with one mounting screw, so it lands on a single bore. If you are replacing two-hole pulls, either plug and refinish the fronts, or choose a pull that matches your existing center-to-center spacing. Schaub's 10030 and 10040 are listed at 7/8 inch center to center if that happens to be your spacing.
4) I need a smaller cabinet knob than the Midvale for narrow drawer fronts. What else is available in brass?
The Midvale cabinet knob's smallest size is 1-1/4 inch. If you need to go smaller in solid brass, the Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval knob is 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center, and the Schaub 10030 Cafe is the same 1 inch diameter and 7/8 inch center to center with an oval slot face. Both are solid brass like the Midvale, and both read as modern ovals rather than the Midvale's Transitional Heritage round form.
5) What is the closest solid brass alternative to the Emtek Midvale cabinet knob in a 1-3/4 inch size?
The Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove detail, 1-3/4 inch diameter, in solid brass and described as heavy-duty. That matches the Midvale knob's larger 1-3/4 inch size and its brass material, so it is a direct size-for-size solid brass alternative. The difference is styling: the Midvale is a Transitional Heritage design, while the KRB175 is a plain round knob with a machined groove.
6) What is the Emtek Midvale cabinet knob made of?
Solid brass, both the material and the substrate under the finish. Brass takes plated and living finishes well, which is why the same knob is offered in polished and satin platings as well as oil rubbed bronze.
7) Is the Midvale knob suitable for a commercial job or is it residential hardware?
Emtek lists the Midvale as residential. For apartment turns and single-family remodels it is the right category of product; for a high-traffic commercial millwork package, specify hardware rated for that duty instead. Deltana's KRB175 round knob with groove is catalogued as heavy-duty solid brass in the same 1-3/4 inch diameter if you want a sturdier look-alike.
8) I need the part number for the Midvale knob in Polished Nickel or Satin Brass, what is it?
Polished Nickel (US14) is SPC86465US14 and Satin Brass (US4) is SPC86465US4, both in the 1-1/4 inch size. The finish code is carried on the end of the base number, which is how the rest of the range is designated as well.
9) Is there a cabinet knob like the Midvale that is not solid brass?
Yes. The Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm cabinet knob built from zinc and aluminum rather than brass, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch diameter round knob in Britannium. The Emtek Midvale is brass throughout, in 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch sizes, so those two are the options if you want a different substrate or a size that falls between the Midvale's two.
10) We are doing a Craftsman kitchen. Is the Midvale knob the right look, or is there a better match?
The Emtek Midvale is styled Transitional Heritage, which reads as a blend of traditional and contemporary rather than period Craftsman. For a Mission or Craftsman program, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, which is the closer stylistic match. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler is another round cabinet knob option if you want a different profile in the same category.
11) Which cabinet knobs are comparable to the Midvale for a whole-house builder package in solid brass?
The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is the closest like-for-like on material, since both it and the Emtek Midvale are solid brass cabinet knobs. The Deltana KRB175 is also solid brass and is called out as heavy-duty at 1-3/4 inch diameter. If your package needs two sizes off one design, the Midvale itself covers 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch, which the single-diameter KRB175 does not.
12) The Midvale is a Schaub Collection knob. Does that mean the Schaub Cafe and Artifex knobs are the same thing?
No. The Emtek Midvale is a round cabinet knob in brass sized 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch. The Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe knobs are modern ovals at 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob in Britannium. They share the cabinet knob function but differ in diameter, shape, and in the Artifex case material, so none of them drops into an existing Midvale hole pattern as a visual match.
13) What style of cabinetry does the Emtek Midvale knob suit?
Emtek classifies Midvale as transitional heritage under its American Designer theme, so it sits between traditional and contemporary: shaker and inset door styles, painted or stained. If you want something firmly period, Orca's CK-18032 Mission round knob is a craftsman-leaning alternative; for a cleaner modern line, the Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob in zinc and aluminum.
14) Is the Emtek Midvale an electronic or smart cabinet product?
No. It is a straight mechanical cabinet knob, brass, one screw, no wiring or battery of any kind. Nothing to spec on the electrical side of the job.
