Emtek Windsor Glass Cabinet Knob, Schaub Collection

Emtek classes the Windsor glass knob as residential. For a hotel millwork package, a clubhouse, or any high-cycle commercial casework, a solid metal knob is the safer specification. The Deltana KRB175 round knob with groove is a heavy-duty solid brass option, and the Schaub 131 Artifex round knob is a solid britannium 1-1/2 inch alternative.

Yes, in almost every case. A cabinet knob mounts on a single through-hole, so pulling an old knob and putting the Windsor in its place needs no new drilling. The one thing that won't cross over is a two-hole pull: if you're replacing a pull, the two bores will be left exposed and you'd want a pull with matching center-to-center instead, like the Schaub 10030 or 10040 Cafe knobs at 7/8 inch center to center.

The Windsor Windsor cabinet knob pairs a glass body with brass and is designated for residential use. If you want a solid metal knob instead, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty round knob with a groove, 1-3/4 inch diameter, in solid brass. The Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is another all-brass option. Both remove the glass element entirely, which changes the look but gives you a one-material knob.

The Windsor glass cabinet knob is offered in a single 1-5/8 inch size. For a smaller face, the Schaub 10030 Cafe modern oval slot knob and the Schaub 10040 Cafe modern oval knob are both 1 inch diameter with 7/8 inch center to center in solid brass, and the Schaub 1200 Modo knob is 16 mm in zinc and aluminum construction. All three are solid-body knobs rather than glass.

The Schaub 10030 Cafe modern oval slot knob and Schaub 10040 Cafe modern oval knob are both listed with a 7/8 inch center to center dimension, which means they take a two-hole mounting pattern rather than the single mounting screw supplied with the Windsor glass knob. Fitting either one in place of a Windsor means drilling a second hole. The Schaub 131 Artifex and Deltana KRB175 are round single-post knobs, closer in mounting concept but without the glass body.

Ten 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), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one to note if you're matching a kitchen already living with patina, since it darkens over time rather than holding its out-of-box color.

A mounting screw is included with each Windsor glass knob. Standard cabinet knob screws are 8-32 thread, so if your doors or drawer fronts are thicker than typical and the supplied screw comes up short, a longer 8-32 machine screw is the fix.

The knob body is glass with brass hardware. Emtek lists brass as both the material and the substrate, and it sits in their Glass and Porcelain collection, so the finish you pick (chrome, nickel, bronze, black, brass) is what you see on the metal base and screw, with the glass on top.

Several. The Deltana KRB175 is a 1-3/4 inch solid brass round knob with a groove detail, slightly larger than the Windsor's 1-5/8 inch. The Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob in britannium. Orca's CK-18032 Mission round knob is a simpler square-shouldered profile, and the Delaney solid brass cabinet knob is another all-metal option.

Polished Nickel (US14) is SPC86566US14 and Satin Nickel (US15) is SPC86566US15. The same root carries across the line, so Polished Chrome is SPC86566US26 and French Antique is SPC86566US7. The SPC prefix reflects the Schaub side of the Emtek family.

The Windsor knob belongs to Emtek's Glass and Porcelain group, so its look is driven by the glass body. For a craftsman or mission-style run, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 is a Mission round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission Collection. The Orca CK-19032 Whistler knob is the adjacent option in the 19-Whistler Collection. Both are straightforward round metal knobs rather than glass.

The Windsor glass cabinet knob is classified for residential use and comes in one size, 1-5/8 inch, across ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Flat Black US19 and Polished Chrome US26. For a fleet rollout where you want a single rugged metal body, the Deltana KRB175 is a heavy-duty solid brass round knob at 1-3/4 inch, and the Schaub 131 Artifex is a 1-1/2 inch round knob in Britannium. Choosing between them is a matter of whether you want the glass face in every unit.

The Windsor glass cabinet knob has a brass substrate paired with a glass body and measures 1-5/8 inch. The Schaub 1200 Modo is a 16 mm cabinet knob built from zinc and aluminum. The Modo is a much smaller knob in a different material family, so it suits slim modern fronts where the Windsor's larger glass face would be out of scale.

The Windsor is a knob, not a pull, and it ships as a single 1-5/8 inch knob per order. For long drawer fronts where a knob feels undersized, most designers run the glass knobs on the upper doors and a matching-finish pull on the drawer banks. Schaub's Cafe collection knobs (10030 and 10040) are 1 inch with 7/8 inch center to center if you want a smaller companion piece.
