Emtek 86234-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size is the Emtek Tuscany bronze cabinet knob backplate?
The Tuscany backplate is made in one size, 2-1/4 inches, in both offered finishes. That single size is what you get whether you order the Flat Black Bronze (SPC86234FB) or the Medium Bronze (SPC86234MB), so there is no size decision to make on the order form, only finish.
2) Is a cabinet knob included with the Emtek Tuscany backplate, or do I order it separately?
The backplate is the plate only. It is the rosette that sits behind a cabinet knob, so the knob itself is a separate order. Plan on one backplate per knob and match the finish code (FB or MB) between the two.
3) How does the Emtek Tuscany cabinet backplate mount to a cabinet door?
Surface mount. The plate sits on the face of the door or drawer front and the knob screw passes through it into the existing knob bore, so no new machining or recessing of the door front is needed.
4) Can I add these backplates to cabinet knobs that are already installed?
That is the usual reason to buy them. Because the plate is surface mounted, you back off the existing knob screw, set the 2-1/4 inch plate against the door face over the bore, and reinstall the knob through it. Older doors often need a slightly longer knob screw once you add the thickness of a plate, and a 2-1/4 inch plate will also hide minor finish wear or an oversized hole around the bore.
5) Will this backplate work behind a cabinet pull instead of a knob?
No. The Tuscany plate is built for a single center-bore cabinet knob, not for a two-hole pull. A pull needs a backplate with matching center-to-center hole spacing, so if you are dressing up pulls you want a pull backplate, not this one.
6) I am specifying a whole kitchen in Emtek Tuscany. Will these backplates match the door hardware in the same collection?
They are part of Emtek's Tuscany line, which spans door hardware as well as cabinet hardware, so the Tuscany Bronze finishes on this plate are the same finish family used across the collection. For a full-house package, keep the finish code consistent, FB or MB, across cabinet knobs, backplates and the passage and privacy sets.
7) What is the Emtek Tuscany backplate made of, and will it hold up in a kitchen?
Brass construction with a bronze substrate finish. Solid metal cabinet trim like this handles kitchen and bath duty without deforming the way a stamped thin plate can. It is catalogued for residential use rather than commercial openings.
