Emtek Square Dimpled Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

The Emtek Square Dimpled cabinet knob is a square-shaped brass knob in an Arts and Crafts style. If the cabinetry calls for a round face instead, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob comes from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob with a groove at 1-3/4 inch diameter. The Emtek square knob is offered in 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch sizes, so the KRB175 matches the largest of those diameters on a round profile.

The Emtek Square Dimpled cabinet knob mounts with a single included mounting screw, so there is no center-to-center dimension to match. If the cabinet doors are already drilled for two holes, the Schaub 10030 Cafe modern oval slot knob and the Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval knob are both 1 inch diameter solid brass knobs with 7/8 inch center to center.

Yes, a mounting screw is included with each knob. Cabinet knobs mount through a single bore in the door or drawer front, so no center-to-center layout is involved. If your fronts are thicker than standard, for example a slab door with an applied panel, you may need a longer screw than the one supplied.

Four: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Satin Brass (US4). Unlacquered brass is the one to know about, it has no clear coat, so it will darken and patina with handling. If you want the finish to stay as shipped, go with US4 satin brass instead.

It is classed as residential hardware. For homes, multi-family unit kitchens, and hospitality casework it is a reasonable choice, but if you are specifying for high-traffic institutional casework you should be looking at hardware rated for that duty rather than this one.

For a like-for-like solid brass cabinet knob, the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob sits in Delaney's Cabinet Knobs series and shares the brass construction of the Emtek Square Dimpled knob. Note that the Emtek knob is a square shape; if the design intent is the square dimpled face itself, the Emtek knob in 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch or 1-3/4 inch is the item to specify.

They are not interchangeable in appearance or scale. The Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob in zinc and aluminum construction, while the Emtek Square Dimpled knob is brass and offered at 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch. If you are replacing one knob in an existing run of Emtek Square Dimpled knobs, stay within the Emtek sizes so the footprint on the door face matches.

It is an Arts and Crafts design, square in shape with a dimpled face. That reads well on shaker, mission, and craftsman cabinetry and on quartersawn oak. If you want the same period feel in a round profile instead, the Orca CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob is a comparable look.

SPC86039US10B is the Emtek Square Dimpled knob in 1-1/4 inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze. The US10B suffix is the finish code, so the other finishes in that size follow the same base number with their own finish code.

Yes, and that is a common layout: knobs on the doors, pulls on the drawers. The four finishes here (US10B, US15, US3NL, US4) are standard finish codes, so matching pulls in the same code will read consistently. Keep in mind unlacquered brass US3NL will patina over time while a lacquered or plated pull will not, so pair a living finish with another living finish.

The Emtek Square Dimpled cabinet knob is designated for residential applications and is a non-electronic mechanical knob, which suits kitchen and bath cabinetry. If a higher-duty knob is wanted for heavily used doors, the Deltana KRB175 is described as a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch diameter.
