Emtek Rope Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

A knob mounts through a single hole, so there is no center-to-center dimension to match, and the Rope knob is a knob throughout its size range. If your drawer fronts are already bored for two-hole hardware, you need a pull instead. Schaub's 10030 Cafe Modern oval slot knob and 10040 Cafe Modern oval knob are both 1 inch with 7/8 inch center to center if a two-hole mount is what your fronts are drilled for.

The Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass, 1-3/4 inch diameter, and it is described as heavy-duty. The Emtek Rope cabinet knob is brass and reaches a 1-3/4 inch size as well, so the two land at the same diameter in the same material. The difference is the face treatment: the Rope carries a twisted rope profile in a traditional style, while the KRB175 is a plain round knob broken only by a single groove.

No. The Schaub 131 is a 1-1/2 inch round Artifex cabinet knob. The Emtek Rope knob is a Rope series knob offered at 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/4 inch, so the 1-1/2 inch Artifex does not match any of the Rope diameters. If a set of drawer fronts was drilled and sized around one, swapping to the other changes the knob footprint on the face.

The Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern oval slot knob and the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern oval knob are each 1 inch with a 7/8 inch center to center, meaning they land on two bores. The Emtek Rope cabinet knob ships with a mounting screw, which is single-point mounting on one hole. Replacing a two-bore Cafe Modern with the Rope leaves a second hole in the front, so check what the cabinet is drilled for before ordering.

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). Every finish is offered in all three diameters, which is what lets you match knobs to pulls across a full run of cabinetry without dropping to a second finish family. Unlacquered brass is the one that changes: it darkens with handling and is not a match for the Polished Brass Lifetime finish over time.

Brass, both as the material and the substrate, so the finish sits on brass rather than on a die-cast zinc core. That matters on unlacquered brass in particular, where the surface is meant to wear and patina over time instead of holding a coating.

It is a residential-duty cabinet knob. For a hospitality or healthcare casework package that sees constant traffic, a heavier round knob such as the Deltana KRB175, a 1-3/4 inch solid brass heavy-duty knob, is the closer match to that demand.

The Rope knob is made in 1-3/4 inch across all nine finishes, so if the existing knob is a rope-twist brass knob it is a direct size match. For a plain round 1-3/4 inch brass knob with a grooved edge rather than a rope, the Deltana KRB175 is the solid brass equivalent at the same diameter.

Two directions. The Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob comes from the 19-Whistler Collection; both are cabinet knobs, so they mount the same way on a drawer front or door. The Emtek Rope knob is a traditional-style brass knob with a rope-twist face, which reads as more decorative than a plain Mission round.

The Schaub 1200 Modo cabinet knob is a 16 mm knob, and the Schaub 10040 is a 1 inch Cafe Modern oval cabinet knob with 7/8 inch center to center. Both are cabinet knobs that suit a plainer front. The Emtek Rope knob is a traditional-style knob in the Rope series and carries a rope-twist face, which is the look you would be moving away from on a slab door.

The Delaney Solid Brass Cabinet Knob is a solid brass cabinet knob, and the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter. The Emtek Rope knob is brass as well and is offered in 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/4 inch, so it covers small drawer fronts and larger doors from one series if you want a single look across a unit. All three are brass, so finish wear behaves similarly under traffic.

Traditional is exactly what the Rope knob is built for, with a twisted rope edge that suits raised-panel and inset face-frame cabinetry, period kitchens, and millwork. If the room is leaning contemporary instead, the Schaub 1200 Modo knob at 16 mm or the Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob are the plainer round profiles in the same category.

SPC86113US10B is the oil rubbed bronze 1-1/4 inch. The same 1-1/4 inch knob is SPC86113US15 in satin nickel, SPC86113US26 in polished chrome, and SPC86113US7 in French Antique, so the finish suffix is the US code appended to the base number.
