Emtek Sandcast Bronze Barn Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

The Barn knob from Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection is offered in three sizes: 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/4 inch. All three sizes are available in each of the three finishes, so you can mix sizes across a kitchen (smaller knobs on upper doors, larger on base cabinets and drawers) and keep the finish consistent.

A mounting screw is included with each knob. For thicker doors or drawer fronts than the standard screw reaches, you'd need a longer 8-32 machine screw, which is the standard thread for cabinet knobs.

It's a cabinet knob, which mounts on a single drilled hole with one screw from the back of the door or drawer front. If your fronts are already bored for two-hole pulls on centers, a knob won't cover that prep. For a two-hole application in a similar look, a center-to-center pull is what you want instead.

The Emtek Barn knob in its 1 inch size is a sandcast bronze piece in a Rustic Living style. For the same 1 inch diameter in a contemporary profile, Schaub offers the 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval knob, 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center in solid brass, and the 10030 Cafe modern oval slot knob, also 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center in solid brass. Both are oval rather than round.

The Barn cabinet knob is offered in 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch sizes. If you need a 1-3/4 inch knob from another line, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter. The Barn knob is a sandcast bronze design in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze; the KRB175 is a smooth turned round profile rather than a cast rustic one.

Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are sandcast bronze finishes, so the surface has the texture and slight variation that comes with sand casting rather than the uniform look of a plated knob. Expect piece-to-piece variation in tone, which is normal for the collection.

Emtek lists the Sandcast Bronze Barn knob as residential. It's a decorative cast knob aimed at kitchens, baths, and furniture in rustic and farmhouse interiors, not at high-traffic institutional millwork. For multi-family common areas or heavy-use casework, spec cabinet hardware rated for that duty instead.

Bronze, sandcast. The material and substrate are both bronze, so the finish is on a solid cast body rather than a plated zinc or aluminum shell. That matters if you want a knob that patinas and wears in rather than chipping.

The 1 inch Flat Black Bronze is SPC86338FB and the 1-1/4 inch Flat Black Bronze is SPC86339FB. In Medium Bronze, 1-1/4 inch is SPC86339MB and 1-3/4 inch is SPC86340MB; Tumbled White Bronze at 1-1/4 inch is SPC86339TWB. The number changes with size, and the suffix carries the finish.

Two options in that diameter or nearby. The Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty round knob with a groove detail, 1-3/4 inch diameter, in solid brass, so a cleaner turned profile instead of a sandcast texture. If you want something smaller and more contemporary, the Schaub 131 Artifex round knob is 1-1/2 inch in Britannium. Both are a different design language from the Barn knob's farmhouse casting.

It's part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, so it shares the Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze finish family used across that line. Because these are cast and hand-finished, expect tone variation between pieces and between batches rather than an exact plated match.

The Schaub 131 Artifex round cabinet knob is 1-1/2 inch diameter in Britannium, a cast-look round knob in a pewter-toned metal. The Emtek Barn knob is bronze substrate and comes in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze at 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch. If you are matching other bronze hardware in the room, stay with the Barn knob; if the room is pewter or nickel toned, the Artifex is the closer tone.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Barn cabinet knob is designated residential. For a heavier-duty pick on a high-traffic cabinet, Deltana lists the KRB175 round knob with groove as heavy-duty solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter. Both mount as standard cabinet knobs, so the decision is about duty and appearance rather than prep.

On door stiles, the 1 inch or 1-1/4 inch reads in proportion; wide drawer fronts and pantry doors carry the 1-3/4 inch better because a small knob looks lost on a large slab. Many kitchens use two sizes from the same finish for exactly that reason, and all three Barn sizes are offered in each of the three bronze finishes so they stay matched.

For a plainer round knob, Orca Hardware offers the CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection and the CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler Collection. Delaney also lists a solid brass cabinet knob in its Cabinet Knobs series. The Emtek Barn knob differs in that it is a sandcast bronze design offered in three sizes and three bronze finishes.
