Nurlin Solid Brass Cabinet Knob

What it is

This is a plain cabinet knob turned from solid brass. The face is smooth and rounded, with no pattern or ridge, so it sits quietly against a door or drawer front. The knob mounts with a single M4 screw that passes through from the back of the door, which keeps the front face clean.

Solid brass gives the knob a little weight in the hand. It is 2.8 oz (80 g), so it feels substantial without being heavy on a small drawer. The finish is even across the face and the stem.

Size and fit

The knob is compact, which suits standard cabinet doors and drawer fronts.

One M4 screw is included with each knob. The screw fits doors up to 1 in (25 mm) thick. This knob is not for doors thicker than 1 in (25 mm).

Colors

Choose from three finishes at checkout:

• Matte brass: a soft, low-shine gold tone
• Matte black: a flat, dark finish
• Antique brass: a warmer brass with a slightly aged look

All three are solid brass. The color you pick applies to the whole knob, face and stem together.

Where it works

This knob suits kitchen cabinet doors and drawers, dresser drawers, wardrobe doors and bathroom vanity fronts. The plain shape reads as modern, and it also sits well in a traditional kitchen because the brass does the talking.

Because it mounts from the back with one screw, you need a single hole in the door or drawer front. If you are replacing an old knob, check that the existing hole takes an M4 screw. The 1 in (25 mm) screw covers most standard cabinet fronts.

A common approach is to use the same knob across a whole run of cabinets so the hardware reads as one line. If you want a mix, pair this knob on doors with a bar pull on drawers, keeping the same finish across both.

Fitting

1. Mark the position for the hole on the door or drawer front.
2. Drill a hole sized for the M4 screw.
3. Pass the screw through from the back of the door.
4. Thread the knob onto the screw from the front and turn until snug.
5. Check the knob sits flat against the face, then tighten by hand.

Do not overtighten. Brass threads can be damaged by force. If the door is thicker than 1 in (25 mm), this screw will not reach, and the knob is not suitable for that door.

Care

Wipe the knob with a dry cloth. That is all it needs. Avoid wet cloths and cleaning sprays, which can dull the finish over time. A dry cloth keeps matte brass, matte black and antique brass looking as they did on day one.
