Emtek 86097-FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes and finishes does the Emtek Twist Finger cabinet knob come in?
The Twist Finger cabinet knob from Emtek's Tuscany Bronze collection comes in two sizes, 1-3/4 inch and 3 inch, and two finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). Both sizes are offered in both finishes, so you can run the smaller knob on drawers and the larger one on tall doors and keep the finish consistent.
2) Does the Emtek Twist Finger cabinet knob come with a mounting screw, or do I need to order screws separately?
A mounting screw is included with each Twist Finger knob, so nothing extra is needed for a standard single-hole cabinet door or drawer front. If your fronts are unusually thick, plan on sourcing a longer machine screw, since only the supplied screw ships with the knob.
3) Will the Emtek Twist Finger knob fit into the existing holes from my old cabinet knobs?
In most cases yes. It mounts with a single machine screw through one hole, which is the standard prep for virtually every cabinet knob, so swapping out old single-hole knobs is a direct replacement. What changes is the screw length: use the one supplied with the knob rather than reusing the old one, since thread length varies by design.
4) What is a straight equivalent to the Emtek Twist Finger cabinet knob in a 1-3/4 inch solid brass round knob?
The Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove detail at 1-3/4 inch diameter, matching the 1-3/4 inch size the Emtek Tuscany Bronze Twist Finger knob is offered in. Both are brass-bodied cabinet knobs. The difference is the face treatment: the Emtek carries the twisted finger profile of the Tuscany theme, while the KRB175 is a plain round with a single groove.
5) I need a smaller cabinet knob than the Emtek Twist Finger for narrow drawer rails - what should I use instead?
The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Twist Finger knob starts at 1-3/4 inch, so for tighter faces look at a 1 inch or smaller knob. The Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval knob is 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center in solid brass, and the Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob in zinc and aluminum construction. Both drop well below the Emtek footprint.
6) Is the Emtek Twist Finger knob solid metal or a plated zinc casting?
It's brass, with a bronze substrate finish over it. That matters if you're specifying for a kitchen or bath where handles get daily hand contact and moisture, since a solid brass body holds up better than a hollow pot-metal casting.
7) Can I use the Emtek Twist Finger knob in a commercial building or apartment common area?
Emtek classifies the Twist Finger cabinet knob as residential. For millwork in apartment units, model homes, and custom residential kitchens it's the right category. For high-traffic commercial casework where knobs get pulled hundreds of times a day, a heavy-duty knob such as the Deltana KRB175 solid brass round knob is described as heavy-duty and is worth comparing.
8) Which size Twist Finger knob should I use on drawers versus tall cabinet doors?
Two sizes are offered. The 1-3/4 inch works as a conventional knob on drawer fronts and smaller doors. The 3 inch version is long enough to read as a finger pull on tall pantry doors and deep drawers, where a small knob looks undersized. Both take a single mounting screw, so the cabinet prep is the same either way.
9) I want a plain round cabinet knob instead of a twist design. What else do you carry?
The Twist Finger is a sculpted, elongated design, so if you want something simpler: the Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch round solid brass knob with a groove, matching the smaller Twist Finger diameter. The Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection knob is a 1 inch modern oval in solid brass with 7/8 inch center to center, and the Orca CK-18032 Mission round knob is a straightforward round profile.
10) What is a plainer alternative to the Emtek Twist Finger knob for a simple Shaker or mission kitchen?
The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Twist Finger is a decorative Tuscany-theme knob. For an unornamented face, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler is another plain-profile cabinet knob. Both perform the same job as a cabinet knob without the twisted finger detail.
11) Is the Schaub 10030 a substitute for the 3 inch Emtek Twist Finger knob?
No. The Schaub 10030 Cafe is a 1 inch diameter oval slot knob with 7/8 inch center to center, so it will not visually or dimensionally stand in for the 3 inch Emtek Tuscany Bronze Twist Finger. If you are replacing 3 inch knobs and want to cover the existing finish footprint on the door face, stay with the 3 inch Emtek size rather than dropping to a 1 inch Cafe knob.
12) I want a darker-metal look but not bronze - what compares to the Emtek Tuscany Bronze Twist Finger knob?
The Emtek Twist Finger is a bronze-substrate knob offered in Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). If you want a dark antique tone in a different metal, the Schaub 131 Artifex round knob is 1-1/2 inch diameter in Britannium, a pewter-toned alloy. It is round rather than twisted, and 1-1/2 inch sits just under the Emtek's 1-3/4 inch.
13) What's the difference between Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze on Emtek cabinet hardware?
Both are bronze finishes in the Tuscany Bronze collection. Flat Black Bronze (FB) reads as a dark, low-sheen near-black, while Medium Bronze (MB) is a warmer mid-tone brown bronze. If you're matching existing Emtek Tuscany hardware elsewhere in the house, order the same finish code rather than matching by eye from a photo.
14) Can I mix the Emtek Twist Finger knob with another solid brass knob line on the same kitchen?
Yes, as long as you keep the finish family consistent. The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Twist Finger is brass with a bronze substrate, and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob and Deltana KRB175 solid brass round knob are both brass-bodied as well, so they take similar plated and living finishes. A common approach is the decorative Twist Finger on doors with a plain round brass knob on drawers.
15) For a multi-family or hospitality cabinet package, is the Emtek Twist Finger the right pick or should I look elsewhere?
The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Twist Finger is designated residential, which suits apartment and hospitality unit casework. If you are standardizing a large package and want a simpler repeating profile that is easy to reorder across phases, the Orca CK-18032 Mission round cabinet knob or the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob are plain-profile cabinet knobs that serve the same function.
16) What is the difference between the Emtek Twist Finger knob and the Schaub 1200 Modo?
Material and scale. The Emtek Tuscany Bronze Twist Finger is brass with a bronze substrate and comes in 1-3/4 inch and 3 inch sizes. The Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob built from zinc and aluminum. The Modo is a small modern round; the Twist Finger is a large decorative profile.
