Emtek Podium Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Two sizes: 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch. The smaller one is the SPC86319 series and the larger is SPC86320, with the finish code appended (for example SPC86319US15 for 1-1/4 inch in Satin Nickel). Many kitchens mix the two, smaller knobs on upper doors and the larger on drawer fronts or full-height pantry doors.

Yes, a mounting screw ships with the knob. Cabinet knobs mount through a single hole in the door or drawer front, so no center-to-center layout is involved. If your doors or drawer fronts are unusually thick, or you are going through a slab with an applied panel, plan on sourcing a longer 8-32 screw since only the standard screw is supplied.

A knob-for-knob swap works because knobs use one screw hole, so the existing bore carries over regardless of knob diameter. The 1-3/4 inch Podium (SPC86320) matches the diameter of a 1-3/4 inch knob such as the Deltana KRB175, so the footprint on the door front stays close. Going the other way, from a two-hole pull to a knob, leaves an extra hole to fill.

The Podium knob is solid brass and offered in 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch sizes. For a matching 1-3/4 inch diameter solid brass knob from another maker, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. The difference is form: Podium is a Mid Century Modern profile, while the KRB175 is a round knob with a groove detail.

The Podium knob starts at 1-1/4 inch. If you need something smaller, the Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm cabinet knob, and the Schaub 10030 Cafe and 10040 Cafe knobs are both 1 inch diameter in solid brass. The 10030 and 10040 each list 7/8 inch center to center, so confirm your existing hole layout before ordering.

Six finishes, and all six are offered in both the 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch size: Satin Brass (US4), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), and Polished Chrome (US26). That makes it straightforward to match the knob to leversets or bath hardware already carrying the same US code.

Brass, both as the material and the substrate, so the finish sits on brass rather than on cast zinc. That matters in kitchens and baths where hardware gets handled wet daily, and it is the same construction basis as the Deltana KRB175 solid brass round knob and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob. If you want a lighter, lower-cost body instead, the Schaub 1200 Modo is zinc and aluminum construction.

Podium is classified residential. For apartment turns, single-family, or hospitality guest casework it is appropriate; for high-traffic institutional millwork where cabinet hardware gets abused, spec accordingly rather than assuming this one is graded for it.

Podium is a mid century modern design in the Schaub collection, so it suits flat-panel and slab door fronts more than raised-panel traditional casework. If the cabinets lean traditional or Craftsman, the Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob is a closer fit, and for a softer transitional profile the Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval knob at 1 inch diameter reads smaller and quieter on the door.

They are both cabinet knobs but not material equivalents. The Podium knob is brass and comes in finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26) and Satin Brass (US4). The Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch diameter round knob in Britannium. If you are matching a brass finish across a kitchen, the Podium finish range is the one to work from; the Artifex is a round profile in a single stated material.

The Podium knob is a Mid Century Modern profile, so for a Mission or traditional door front the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round cabinet knob is the closer design match. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob are other knob options if you want a different face while keeping a single-screw knob mounting like the Podium, which ships with its mounting screw.

The Podium cabinet knob is brass throughout. If brass is not required, the Schaub 1200 Modo knob uses zinc and aluminum construction in a 16 mm size, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is offered in Britannium at 1-1/2 inch diameter.

What ships is the knob and its mounting screw, nothing else. If the old hardware left a worn or oversized area on the door face, plan on a separate backplate or on refinishing the front, because no plate is part of this item.
