Emtek Newport Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Two diameters: 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch. The smaller one suits drawer banks and upper doors where a bigger knob would look heavy; the 1-3/4 inch reads better on large drawer fronts and full-height pantry doors. Both sizes are offered in the same six finishes, so you can mix diameters across a kitchen and keep the finish consistent.

A mounting screw is included with each knob, so nothing extra is needed for a standard single-hole cabinet knob bore. If your drawer fronts are thicker than typical (a face frame plus an applied panel, for example), plan on sourcing a longer 8-32 machine screw for those locations.

It is classified residential. For multi-family unit turns and residential-grade millwork it is the right fit; for a heavily used commercial casework or institutional job, look at a knob sold as heavy-duty, such as the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove in solid brass.

The Newport cabinet knob is a brass knob offered in 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch sizes. If you need the larger diameter from another maker, the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove detail at 1-3/4 inch diameter, described as heavy-duty. Both are solid brass at the same face size, so the decision comes down to the Newport's Art Deco profile versus the Deltana's plain grooved round.

Brass, both as the stated material and the substrate, so the finish is applied over brass rather than over a die-cast zinc body. That matters on a remodel where knobs get handled constantly, and it separates it from lighter zinc and aluminum knobs like the Schaub 1200 Modo.

Newport is styled Art Deco within an American Classic theme, so it sits with period and traditional-transitional cabinetry rather than flat contemporary work. If the room is genuinely modern, the Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval knob or the Schaub 10030 modern oval slot knob are the closer match. For craftsman and mission cabinetry, the Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob fits that look.

The 1-1/4 inch Oil Rubbed Bronze is SPC86432US10B. The rest of the 1-1/4 inch run follows the same pattern: SPC86432US14 polished nickel, SPC86432US15 satin nickel, SPC86432US19 flat black, SPC86432US26 polished chrome, SPC86432US4 satin brass. The 1-3/4 inch size uses the SPC86433 base, for example SPC86433US15 in satin nickel. Distributors ordering to a spec should quote the full number including the finish suffix.

The Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass round knob with a groove detail, so it matches the Newport's larger diameter and brass construction with a plainer profile. Delaney also offers a solid brass cabinet knob in its Cabinet Knobs series. If you want a different material entirely, the Schaub 131 Artifex round knob is 1-1/2 inch diameter in Britannium.

The Newport starts at 1-1/4 inch diameter. For a smaller face, the Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval knob is 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center in solid brass, and the Schaub 10030 Cafe modern oval slot knob is also 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center in solid brass. The Schaub 1200 Modo is smaller still at 16 mm, though it is built in zinc and aluminum rather than brass.

The Newport is an Art Deco profile on an American Classic theme. For a craftsman or mission look, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob comes from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob is another round knob option from the 19-Whistler Collection. Both are cabinet knobs like the Newport, so the change is purely in the design language.

Not on material. The Newport is brass throughout, while the Schaub 131 Artifex is a round cabinet knob in Britannium at 1-1/2 inch diameter. Britannium will not tone-match the Newport's plated brass finishes such as Polished Nickel US14 or Polished Chrome US26, and 1-1/2 inch sits between the Newport's 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch sizes, so it will not line up if you are matching an existing run.

The Newport is a brass cabinet knob supplied with a mounting screw. For undecorated solid brass in the same material family, the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is a cabinet knob offering in solid brass. Matching the finish across both is the thing to confirm, since the Newport is carried in Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19, Polished Chrome US26 and Satin Brass US4.
