Emtek Waverly Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Three diameters: 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/4 inch. The 1 inch works on drawer fronts and smaller doors where you want a lighter look, the 1-1/4 inch is the usual all-purpose choice, and the 1-3/4 inch gives a bigger grip for tall pantry or appliance doors. All three are offered across the same nine finishes.

Yes, in almost every case. A knob mounts on a single hole through the door or drawer front, so swapping one knob for another does not change the drilling. Where you have to be careful is replacing a two-hole pull: a knob will leave one of those holes exposed. If you are converting pulls to knobs you will need to plug and refinish, or stay with a pull.

The Emtek Waverly cabinet knob is brass and offered in 1 inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-3/4 inch sizes. For a solid brass knob at the same 1-3/4 inch diameter, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass, listed as heavy-duty at 1-3/4 inch diameter. The Waverly is a traditional, American Classic style profile, while the KRB175 is a plain round knob with a groove detail.

No. The Emtek Waverly cabinet knob is a single-point knob supplied with a mounting screw, so it takes one hole. The Schaub 10030 and 10040 Cafe oval knobs are listed with a 7/8 inch center to center dimension, which means two mounting points. They are not a drop-in swap for a one-hole Waverly bore without redrilling.

Nine finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one to know about: it has no coating, so it will darken and patina with handling, while the Lifetime polished brass is finished to stay bright.

Within the same solid brass, round knob idea there are a few directions. The Schaub 10040 Cafe Collection modern oval knob is 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center, and the Schaub 10030 Cafe is the same 1 inch oval with a slot detail. For a heavier traditional round, the Deltana KRB175 is 1-3/4 inch solid brass with a groove. The Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is another plain brass option. If budget matters more than solid brass, the Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm knob in zinc and aluminum.

It does, which makes matching straightforward. The Waverly is offered in the usual US finish codes, US10B, US14, US15, US15A, US19, US26, US3, US3NL, and US7, so you can specify the same code you used on the passage and privacy hardware and the tones will line up. For property managers standardizing across units, ordering a single code across knobs and door hardware is the simplest way to keep turnovers consistent.

Waverly knobs are ordered as an SPC series number with the finish code appended. The 1-1/4 inch knob is SPC86115 plus finish, for example SPC86115US10B in oil rubbed bronze, SPC86115US15 in satin nickel, SPC86115US19 in flat black, and SPC86115US7 in French antique. Specify diameter and finish code together and the part number follows.

The Emtek Waverly cabinet knob uses a brass substrate. If a different material is wanted, the Schaub 1200 Modo knob is a 16 mm knob built with zinc and aluminum construction, and the Schaub 131 Artifex round knob is a 1-1/2 inch diameter knob in Britannium. Both are different materials and diameters than any of the Waverly sizes.

The Emtek Waverly cabinet knob is catalogued as a traditional, American Classic theme knob, so it suits classic cabinetry rather than Mission-style work. For a Mission profile, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler cabinet knob from the 19-Whistler Collection is another alternate profile in the same knob category.

The Waverly is a knob, not a pull, so it has no center-to-center dimension, just the one screw hole. If part of your run needs pulls with a spacing, pair it with a knob or pull that publishes one, like the Schaub 10030 or 10040 Cafe knobs at 7/8 inch center to center. Common practice is knobs on doors and pulls on drawers, in the same finish.

The Emtek Waverly cabinet knob is a brass knob offered in nine finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19 and Unlacquered Brass US3NL. If a plainer solid brass knob is all the job calls for, the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob from the Cabinet Knobs series is a straightforward brass option in the same category.
