Bevelled Square Cabinet Knob, Solid Ash

£5.00

A plain square cabinet knob with a chamfer cut around the face, 44 mm across, from a single block of solid ash. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

The face is left flat and a bevel runs around all four edges, so the square catches a line of light along its border and stops looking like a block. It is the quietest shape we make: on a kitchen run or a plywood wardrobe it sits square with the edges of the door and gets out of the way, which is exactly what most hardware should do.

Product details

A square cabinet knob in solid ash with a flat face and a chamfer around all four edges, 44 × 44 mm. Sold individually, in twelve finishes.

Mounting
  1. Check that your door already has a mounting hole. If not, drill a 4 mm hole through the front.
  2. Pass the M4 × 30 mm screw through the hole from the back of the door.
  3. Thread the screw into the metal insert in the knob and tighten by hand, holding the edges parallel to the edges of the door.
  4. Finish with a quarter turn of a screwdriver — no more. Overtightening pulls the insert out of the wood.

A square shows every degree of tilt, so sight it against the edge of the door before the screw grips — this is the shape people most often end up refitting. Ash runs in one direction: if you care about it, note which way the grain sits and keep it consistent across a run. If your door is thinner than 24 mm, the screw will stand proud inside the insert; that is normal and does not affect how the knob holds.

Materials & workshop

Wood: solid ash, single block. Hardware: threaded metal insert and M4 × 30 mm screw.

Eleven of the twelve finishes use ADLER Legno Dura-Öl, an Austrian oil-based finish. It leaves a matt, open-pored surface — the colour sits in the wood rather than on top of it, so a green knob still reads as ash and not as painted board — while resisting water and household chemicals the way a varnish would. The oil is certified to EN 71-3 for the migration of heavy metals, and to DIN 53160-1 and 53160-2 for saliva and perspiration resistance. The twelfth option, Unfinished, is bare sanded ash with no coating; it is the palest of the set and darkens with handling.

Cut, shaped, sanded and finished in our own workshop in Roman, Romania. There is nowhere to hide on a shape this plain: the four sides have to be the same length, the chamfer the same width the whole way round, and the corners have to meet cleanly, because any error is visible against the straight edge of a door. The chamfer cuts through the grain on two sides and along it on the other two, so it takes the colour slightly differently on each — that is the wood, not a fault.

Care

Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. The oil finish resists water and household cleaners, so no special product is needed and none is recommended.

Unfinished knobs have no coating and will darken with handling. On a flat face that darkening is even, so it reads as age rather than as a mark; if you would rather it did not happen at all, oil them yourself before fitting.
