Emtek Sandcast Bronze Round Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Three diameters: 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/4 inch. The 1 inch works on standard drawer fronts and smaller doors, the 1-3/4 inch reads as a statement knob on wide drawers and pantry doors. Every size is offered in all three finishes, so you can run one finish across a kitchen and vary size between drawers and doors.

The Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove, 1-3/4 inch diameter, in solid brass, described as heavy-duty. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Round Cabinet Knob also reaches 1-3/4 inch in its size range, in a bronze substrate, and comes in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze. The face profile differs: the Deltana carries a groove detail, the Emtek is a plain round sandcast form. For a property manager matching a run of cabinets, the diameter matches at 1-3/4 inch, so hole spacing and screw reach are the constant and the finish and face detail are the choice.

Both are round cabinet knobs. The Schaub 131 is a 1-1/2 inch round Artifex cabinet knob, a single diameter. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Round Cabinet Knob is offered at 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch, in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze, on a bronze substrate. So the two do not overlap on diameter at all: if the drawing calls 1-1/2 inch, the Schaub 131 is the one that hits it; if the spec is 1-1/4 inch or 1-3/4 inch, the Emtek covers it and the 131 does not.

They are the same nominal 1 inch size but they are not the same part to drill for. The Schaub 10030 Cafe Modern Oval Slot Cabinet Knob and the Schaub 10040 Cafe Modern Oval Cabinet Knob are both 1 inch with 7/8 inch center to center, meaning two mounting holes. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Round Cabinet Knob is a round-shape knob that ships with a mounting screw, singular. A contractor holding a door bored for one hole cannot take the 10030 or 10040 without adding a second hole at 7/8 inch centers, and the oval Cafe face reads differently from the round sandcast bronze form.

Solid bronze is the substrate, not a plated finish over pot metal. That matters on a kitchen where hands are on the same knob thousands of times a year, since a live bronze surface wears into a patina rather than flaking off a coating.

Emtek specs the Sandcast Bronze round knob as residential. For apartment turns, model units, and single-family remodels that is the right call. For a high-traffic commercial millwork package, a heavy-duty knob like the Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove, a 1-3/4 inch solid brass unit, is the direction to look.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze round knob is a rustic-styled piece with a cast texture. For a cleaner round profile, the Schaub 131 is a 1-1/2 inch round Artifex knob, and the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round knob is another round option. If you want a machined modern shape instead, the Schaub 1200 Modo knob is 16 mm.

They are part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, which runs across door hardware as well as cabinet hardware, so the FB, MB, and TWB finishes carry over between a passage knob on a door and the cabinet knobs in the same room. Specify the same finish code on both to keep the whole package consistent.

The Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is a round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, which puts it in the same design conversation as the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Round Cabinet Knob, whose style is sandcast bronze on a Rustic Living theme. Both are round-face cabinet knobs. The Emtek is bronze substrate and runs 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch diameters; the Orca is a single Mission-collection design. A remodeler picking hardware for a craftsman elevation can specify either and stay inside the same visual family.

No backplate is part of the package. The knob ships with its mounting screw and mounts directly through a single bored hole in the door or drawer front. If you are covering old holes or scarring from prior hardware, plan a separate backplate into the order.

The Orca Hardware CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob is a cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler Collection. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Round Cabinet Knob is a residential cabinet knob in the Sandcast Bronze collection with a round face. Mixing them means mixing two design collections on the same run of doors, which some designers do intentionally, knobs from one and pulls from another. If the goal is a single consistent look across every door and drawer in the kitchen, hold to one collection, and the Emtek round covers 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch so one collection can carry small doors and large drawers alike.
