Emtek 86293US7 Ribbon and Reed Cabinet Knob Backplate

Product Description

The EMTEK 86293US7 is a decorative backplate designed to mount behind a cabinet knob, providing a finished, polished look at the knob's base. Offered in a French Antique Brass finish, this backplate features the Ribbon and Reed ornamental pattern, a classic motif with raised detailing suited to traditional and transitional interior styles. Measuring 3.6 inches in length by 2.3 inches in width, the backplate sits low at 1.8 inches in height and weighs 0.15 pounds. Cabinetmakers, finish carpenters, and interior hardware installers typically specify this component when completing custom millwork or cabinetry installations where a bare knob mount would be considered incomplete.

This backplate is intended for residential cabinetry applications where a cabinet knob requires a decorative mounting plate. It is sold individually and is well suited for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, built-ins, and furniture pieces that call for a traditional or period-appropriate hardware aesthetic. The French Antique Brass finish complements warm-toned wood stains and painted cabinetry in cream, white, or earth-tone palettes. The Ribbon and Reed pattern pairs with coordinating EMTEK knobs and levers that share the same design family.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style decorative backplate for use with cabinet knobs. No specific compatible knob model numbers were provided in the product data; verify knob post spacing and mounting hole diameter prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a finish carpenter or cabinetmaker using standard hand tools. Confirm the cabinet door or drawer front hole spacing matches the backplate mounting configuration before drilling. Avoid overtightening the knob fastener, as this can damage the finish or deform the backplate against soft wood faces. No power shutoff is required for this hardware type.
