Emtek Providence Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Three diameters: 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/4 inch. The 1-1/4 inch is the everyday cabinet door and drawer size; the 1-3/4 inch reads as a larger statement knob on wide drawer fronts or a pantry door. All three sizes are offered across the same finish range, so you can mix sizes on one run of cabinetry and keep the finish consistent.

The mounting screw is included with each Providence knob, so nothing extra to order for a standard install. Worth checking your drawer front thickness before you start: on thick fronts or a front with an applied panel, a longer screw than the one supplied is sometimes needed, and that is a hardware store item rather than a separate part order.

For a contemporary kitchen, the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern oval cabinet knob and the Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern oval slot knob are both 1 inch and read modern rather than period. The Schaub 1200 Modo knob at 16 mm is smaller again and minimal in profile. The Providence is a traditional, American Classic design in brass, so it suits a period or transitional cabinet run rather than a flat-slab modern one.

The Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove is a solid brass knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter, which matches the largest Providence size. The Providence is brass with a traditional, American Classic look, while the KRB175 is a plain round profile with a groove detail. Both are single-screw cabinet knobs, so a swap is a straight hole-for-hole change on an existing door or drawer front.

They are not interchangeable on the same drilling. The Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe Modern ovals are stated at 7/8 inch center to center, which means two mounting points. The Providence ships with a mounting screw for a single-hole knob installation. If cabinet fronts are already bored for a 7/8 inch center to center pair, a two-point knob such as the 10030 or 10040 drops in and the Providence does not.

It does. The Providence cabinet knob is finished in the standard US codes Emtek uses across its door hardware, US10B oil rubbed bronze, US14 polished nickel, US15 satin nickel, US15A pewter, US19 flat black, US26 polished chrome, US3 polished brass lifetime, US3NL unlacquered brass, and US7 French antique. Spec the same code on the passage and privacy sets and the cabinetry and the doors read as one package.

Brass, both the material and the substrate. That matters on kitchens and baths where a plated pot metal knob eventually chips or corrodes at the screw boss. It is also why the unlacquered brass option behaves the way it does, the patina is the base metal, not a coating wearing through.

Emtek classifies the Providence cabinet knob as residential. For custom homes, condo interiors, model units, and hospitality millwork it is on point. For a high-traffic institutional casework package, spec accordingly, a residential-rated decorative knob is not written for that duty cycle.

The Providence is a knob, single center screw, no center-to-center spacing to match. That makes it the easy retrofit on doors and narrow drawers because you only need one hole. On wide drawer fronts many people want the two-hole spread of a pull instead. If you are replacing existing two-hole hardware, a knob leaves one hole showing, and a knob with a stated center-to-center like the Schaub 10030 or 10040 at 7/8 inch is a different animal, that spacing is for a knob mounted on a backplate or slot, not a substitute for a standard pull bore.

No. Both are solid brass cabinet knobs, but they are different designs from different makers. The Providence is a Schaub Collection knob under the Emtek name, offered in 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch. The Delaney knob is its own cabinet knob series. If a run of cabinets is already fitted with Providence knobs, order Providence to keep the profile and finish consistent rather than mixing in the Delaney.

Two directions. Staying with the same design, the Providence itself steps up to 1-3/4 inch. Changing design, the Schaub 131 Artifex round knob is 1-1/2 inch and the Deltana KRB175 is 1-3/4 inch in solid brass. Larger diameters give a fuller grip on heavy drawers and on cabinets used with gloves, which matters on maintenance and back-of-house casework.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob is from the 18-Mission Collection and is built for that look. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler is a second Orca cabinet knob in the 19-Whistler Collection. The Providence is a traditional American Classic brass knob, so it reads period rather than mission.

The Providence is a residential cabinet knob in brass. Where a heavier knob is wanted, the Deltana KRB175 is described as heavy-duty solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter. For apartment turns, model units and residential casework, the Providence is the intended fit; for high-traffic casework, look at the heavy-duty KRB175.

The 1-1/4 inch satin nickel is SPC86014US15 and the 1 inch satin nickel is SPC86013US15. The pattern holds across the line, SPC86013 is the 1 inch body and SPC86014 the 1-1/4 inch, with the US finish code appended, so SPC86014US19 is the 1-1/4 inch flat black and SPC86014US10B the oil rubbed bronze.
