Emtek Paxton Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

The Paxton cabinet knob is a single size, 1-1/4 inches. Every finish is offered in that one size, so a kitchen or millwork package stays consistent without having to track two part numbers. If you need something larger for oversized drawer fronts, the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove is a 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass option.

A mounting screw is included with each knob. Standard practice on cabinet knobs is an 8-32 machine screw through the drawer front or door stile, so if your fronts are thicker than typical (applied moulding, a double-thick slab) you may want longer 8-32 screws on hand for those specific doors.

The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob (DLY-43701x) is the closest straight equivalent in construction. The Paxton is a brass cabinet knob with a mounting screw included, and the Delaney knob is also solid brass in Delaney's Cabinet Knobs series. Both are single-hole knobs rather than center-to-center pulls, so either drops into an existing knob bore without new drilling.

The Deltana KRB175 Round Knob with Groove is a heavy-duty solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, a half inch larger across than the Paxton's 1-1/4 inch. The Schaub 131 Round Artifex Cabinet Knob sits between them at 1-1/2 inch. All three are round brass-family knobs, so the larger grip is the change, not the mounting style.

No. The Schaub 10040 1 inch Cafe Modern Oval Cabinet Knob is specified with a 7/8 inch center to center, meaning it mounts on two holes. The Paxton is a cabinet knob that ships with a mounting screw for a single bore. Swapping to the 10040 means drilling a second hole in every door and drawer front. The Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot knob carries the same 7/8 inch center to center and has the same issue.

Emtek classifies the Paxton as residential hardware. For single-family, condo, and multi-family unit interiors it is the right class of product. For a high-traffic commercial millwork job, a heavy-duty knob such as the Deltana KRB175 solid brass round knob is the closer fit.

Ordering the same finish code gets you a match, and the Paxton only comes in one diameter (1-1/4 inch), so size is not a variable. Pull the existing knob and check the finish against the six codes offered: US4, US10B, US14, US15, US19, US26. Living finishes like oil rubbed bronze do darken with handling, so a single replacement in an older run may read slightly brighter until it wears in.

For a like-for-like solid brass traditional knob, the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is the straightforward substitute. If you want something with more visual detail, the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob, slightly larger than the Paxton's 1-1/4 inch. The Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob is the choice for craftsman and mission cabinetry.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is a round cabinet knob from Orca's 18-Mission Collection, a mission styling rather than the Paxton's American Classic theme. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob is another single-hole cabinet knob in Orca's 19-Whistler Collection. Both are cabinet knobs like the Paxton, so the bore stays the same and only the face design changes.

Traditional and transitional work. Emtek puts the Paxton in its Timeless Classics styling with an American Classic theme, which is the shaker, inset, and raised-panel end of cabinetry rather than flat-slab contemporary. For a modern flat-front kitchen, the Schaub 1200 Modo knob at 16 mm or the Orca CK-19032 Whistler are the contemporary-leaning alternatives.

The Paxton is sold under Emtek as part of the Schaub collection, which is Emtek's decorative cabinet hardware line. If you are matching to other Schaub cabinet hardware in the same job, it belongs to that family.
