Emtek Riviera Square Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

The Riviera square knob is made in one size, 1-1/4 inch, and six finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26) and Satin Brass (US4). Since there is only one size, a whole kitchen or bath run stays dimensionally identical and you are only matching the finish across cabinets.

A mounting screw is included with each Riviera square knob. Cabinet knobs use a single through-screw into a single bored hole, so no center-to-center layout is involved. If your doors or drawer fronts are thicker than standard (for example an added face panel or a thick slab front), plan on sourcing a longer machine screw in the same thread.

The Riviera Square knob is a brass cabinet knob with a square shape. If the design calls for a round face instead, the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove in a 1-3/4 inch diameter, and the Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is another solid brass round option. Both keep the brass substrate while changing the silhouette.

Emtek classifies the Riviera square knob as residential. It is the right call for single-family homes, condo renovations, model units and hospitality casework, but for high-abuse institutional millwork a purpose-built heavy-duty knob is the safer spec. The Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove, for example, is catalogued as heavy-duty solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter.

Square is the stated shape of the Riviera knob, so it reads as a crisp geometric block rather than a turned round. If you want round instead, the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob in Britannium, and the Orca CK-18032 Mission and CK-19032 Whistler are both round cabinet knobs.

The Riviera square is a cabinet knob, single-screw mounted, and Emtek lists its function as cabinet knob/pull, so it can go on doors and on drawers. Practically, knobs suit doors and narrower drawers; on wide drawer fronts, two knobs or a center-to-center pull gives better leverage. If you prefer a pull-style mount, the Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe knobs are both 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center.

The Riviera square knob is part of the Schaub collection sold under Emtek, so it is designed to live alongside other Schaub cabinet hardware. For mixing sizes and shapes within that family, the Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe modern oval knobs run 1 inch diameter and the Schaub 131 Artifex is 1-1/2 inch round, against the Riviera's 1-1/4 inch square.

The Riviera square is offered only at 1-1/4 inch. For a larger grip, the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch solid brass round knob; for something smaller, the Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe knobs are 1 inch solid brass. The Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is another brass option. Note the Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob in zinc and aluminum, not brass.

The Riviera Square is built in brass. If a different substrate suits the budget or the finish program better, the Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob of zinc and aluminum construction, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob in Britannium. Both are cabinet knobs mounted the same way, but they are not brass.

No, treat them as different preps. The Emtek Riviera Square is a cabinet knob that ships with a mounting screw for a single-hole knob prep. The Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot and the Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection Modern Oval are both listed with a 7/8 inch center to center along with their 1 inch diameter, so confirm the hole pattern on the door or drawer front before ordering them as a swap.

The Riviera Square knob is styled Hollywood Regency with a contemporary theme and a square face. For a craftsman or mission-leaning cabinet run, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round cabinet knob is drawn from the Mission collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler is another round cabinet knob from the Whistler collection. Those read more traditional than the Riviera Square.

The Riviera Square cabinet knob is classified for residential use. If the opening needs a heavier knob, the Deltana KRB175 is described as a heavy-duty round knob in solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter. Both are single-screw cabinet knobs; the Deltana is the heavier build and the larger face.

Hollywood Regency is the style Emtek assigns it, with a contemporary theme, so it sits well on flat-slab and simple shaker fronts in a glam or modern-traditional kitchen. On a craftsman or mission cabinet run, the Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob is the closer stylistic match.
