Emtek Norwich Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

A mounting screw is included with each knob. Standard cabinet knobs use an 8-32 machine screw through the door or drawer face, so on thicker doors, applied moldings, or a slab with a backplate you may need a longer 8-32 screw than the one supplied. Order those separately if your fronts are heavier than usual.

Not without filling holes. The Norwich is a knob, mounted on one screw through a single hole. A pull mounts on two holes at a fixed center-to-center spacing, so swapping pulls for knobs leaves the second hole exposed unless you plug and refinish it or fit a backplate. Going the other way, from knobs to pulls, means drilling a second hole. If your drawers are already bored for pulls, look at a two-hole pull instead, such as the Schaub 10030 Cafe knob with 7/8 inch center to center.

Norwich part numbers run SPC866 plus a size digit plus the finish code. The 1-1/4 inch is SPC86610, the 1-5/8 inch is SPC86611, then the US finish code on the end. So a 1-1/4 inch in Oil Rubbed Bronze is SPC86610US10B, and the same knob in the larger size is SPC86611US10B. Measure the diameter of the knob you have before you order, since that middle digit is the only thing separating the two.

The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is the closest like-for-like alternative. Both are solid brass cabinet knobs; the Norwich is a traditional-style knob in the American Classic theme, while the Delaney is a plain solid brass knob without the Norwich detailing. Either mounts to a standard single-hole cabinet bore, so swapping between them on the same door or drawer front is a matter of appearance rather than prep.

The Deltana KRB175 Round Knob with Groove is a heavy-duty solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, larger than either Norwich size of 1-1/4 inch or 1-5/8 inch. On tall pantry doors or oversized drawer fronts where a bigger grip suits the scale of the front, the KRB175 gives more knob to hold while staying in solid brass.

The Norwich is a single-screw knob supplied with a mounting screw, so it sets into a one-hole bore. Where the drawer fronts are drilled on centers, the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval cabinet knob is 1 inch with 7/8 inch center to center, and the Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot knob is 1 inch with the same 7/8 inch center to center. Both land on a two-hole pattern the Norwich cannot cover.

Nine: 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), and French Antique (US7). Two of those behave differently over time. Unlacquered brass has no protective coating and will darken and patina with handling, which is what people want for an aged look but not what you want if the cabinets must stay uniform. Polished Brass Lifetime is coated to hold its color.

Brass, both the material and the substrate, so the finish sits on brass rather than on a die-cast zinc core. That matters on a knob people grab a dozen times a day: brass takes a plated or living finish evenly and does not pit the way cast pot metal does at the edges of the finish.

The Norwich is a residential cabinet knob. For single-family, condo, and apartment casework it is a normal specification. For a job where the casework has to carry a commercial durability spec, or where a facility standard drives the hardware schedule, it is not the part to write into that spec.

No. The Schaub 131 is a 1-1/2 inch round Artifex cabinet knob, a different design in a different size from the Norwich, which comes in 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch. Both are cabinet knobs, so they are interchangeable in function, but ordering the 131 expecting Norwich styling will bring in a round Artifex knob at an intermediate diameter.

The Schaub 1200 Modo cabinet knob is 16 mm, well under the Norwich sizes of 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch. On narrow drawer rails, glass front cabinet stiles, or a small vanity where a 1-1/4 inch knob crowds the face, the 16 mm Modo keeps the knob in proportion to the front.

Both are 1 inch Cafe Modern Oval cabinet knobs on 7/8 inch center to center; the 10030 carries a slot in the oval face and the 10040 does not. Against the Norwich, both differ on two counts: the oval Cafe Modern profile rather than the Norwich traditional form, and the two-point 7/8 inch center to center mounting rather than the Norwich single mounting screw.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob from the 18-Mission Collection is the direct fit for a mission or craftsman elevation, where the Norwich reads as traditional in the American Classic theme. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob from the 19-Whistler Collection is a second alternative from the same maker if the Mission round profile is not the one on the drawing.

The Norwich is a residential brass cabinet knob, which suits unit kitchens, baths, and vanities on turnover work. For a high-traffic common area or a leasing office where the fronts get worked harder, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter. Both are brass, so the two can run side by side in a property without a material change.

Norwich is a traditional, American Classic profile. For a cleaner look in the same knob format, the Schaub 10040 is a 1 inch Cafe modern oval knob and the Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob. If you want something between the two, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission and CK-19032 Whistler are round cabinet knobs with different styling. For a plain solid brass round knob, Delaney also makes one.

Yes. Norwich is an Emtek series carried under the Schaub collection, and the part numbers use Schaub's SPC prefix. If a designer's schedule calls it a Schaub Norwich and your supplier lists it under Emtek, it is the same knob.

Either size works on either, since both mount on a single screw through one hole. Common practice is the 1-1/4 inch on upper doors and standard drawers and the 1-5/8 inch on wide or deep drawers and full-height doors, where a small knob gets lost on a big face. If you are standardizing a whole property and want one number for every opening, the 1-1/4 inch is the safer single pick.

The Norwich is an Emtek cabinet knob in the Schaub collection, and the Schaub 10030, 10040, and 1200 are Schaub cabinet knobs as well, so they share a maker but not a design line. The 10030 and 10040 are Cafe Modern ovals at 1 inch on 7/8 inch center to center and the 1200 is the 16 mm Modo; none of the three carries the Norwich profile or its 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch sizes. Order by the specific part number rather than by the Schaub name if the Norwich look is what the job needs.

Yes, and it is common to put a smaller knob on upper doors and a larger one on base drawers. The Norwich itself covers 1-1/4 inch and 1-5/8 inch, so a single design can carry both roles. If a third, larger size is wanted for wide drawer banks, the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob that falls between the two Norwich sizes.
