Schaub 210 1-3/8" Grooved Northport Round Cabinet Knob

The Northport 210 round knob takes an 8-32 machine screw, which is the standard cabinet knob thread in North America, so the screws from most existing knobs will thread right in. What you do need to check is length: the screw has to clear your door or drawer front thickness plus enough thread to seat in the knob. If you are going from a thin drawer front to a thicker one, pick up longer 8-32 screws.

The Schaub 210 Northport is a 1-3/8 inch diameter round knob in zinc with a grooved profile. If the door fronts call for a larger knob face, the Deltana KRB175 is a round knob with a groove in solid brass at 1-3/4 inch diameter. Same basic look - a round knob with a machined groove - at a larger diameter and in brass rather than zinc, so weight and finish behavior will differ from the Northport.

Projection is 1-1/8 inches from the face of the door to the front of the knob, with a 1-3/8 inch knob diameter and a 1 inch base. That is worth checking on inset doors next to a wall or in a tight galley run, and on drawers in a passage where a sleeve can catch a knob.

The Northport 210 is a one-screw round knob, but Schaub publishes a 1-1/2 inch center-to-center for it because the Northport collection includes matching pulls and the figure lets you line the knob up with drilled hole patterns in the same range. For the knob itself you are drilling a single hole.

Eight finishes: Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Ancient Bronze, Brushed Bronze, Matte Black, and Signature Satin Brass. That spread covers most kitchen and bath schemes, and because it is a collection piece you can carry the same finish across Northport pulls in the same job.

The Northport 210 is zinc base material with a plated or coated finish. Zinc die cast holds up fine to normal cabinet duty and keeps cost down across a large hardware count, which is why it is common on volume turns. If you want solid brass for a higher-spec unit or a coastal bath, the Deltana KRB175 is a solid brass round knob with a groove detail, at 1-3/4 inch diameter.

The Schaub 210 Northport is a transitional round knob. For a Craftsman or Mission-influenced kitchen, the Orca Hardware CK-18032 Mission Round Cabinet Knob is a round cabinet knob from the 18-Mission collection, and the Orca CK-19032 Whistler Cabinet Knob is another cabinet knob in a separate collection if you want a different face. Both serve the same function as the Northport - a single-screw cabinet knob - with different collection styling.

The Emtek SELECT 8665 cabinet knobs, the Emtek Allerton and the Emtek Art Deco cabinet knobs are all carried in the Schaub Collection, so they sit in the same family as the 210 Northport but are distinct series with their own knob faces. Treat them as a coordinating choice rather than an identical one - the Northport is a grooved round knob at 1-3/8 inch diameter, and each Emtek series has its own profile. Match finish names carefully before mixing across brands.

The Emtek Astoria Glass Cabinet Knob in the Schaub Collection is a cabinet knob in the same Schaub family, but it is a glass knob rather than a metal one. The Schaub 210 Northport is zinc with a grooved metal face, so the Astoria will not read as a match on a run of cabinets specified for a solid metal knob even though both mount as cabinet knobs.

Schaub classes the Northport 210 as transitional, a plain round knob with a grooved band rather than any period ornament. That reads correctly on shaker and flat slab doors as well as raised panel, which is why it gets specified on remodels where the cabinetry mixes. If you want a more defined period look, Orca's CK-18032 Mission and Emtek's Art Deco cabinet knob are the alternatives in the same size class of hardware.

Emtek sells the Schaub Collection under its own catalogue, including the Emtek 8665 SELECT cabinet knobs and the Allerton, Art Deco, and Astoria glass cabinet knobs. If you are standardizing a purchase order on Emtek, those are the route to Schaub-designed cabinet knobs. The Schaub 210 Northport itself is the Schaub-branded 1-3/8 inch grooved round knob.
