Newport

Edgar Berebi Newport pulls, knobs, and backplates

Newport counts among Edgar Berebi's more complete lines: a pull (7942, also listed as X7942), a knob (7929/X7929 and 7346/X7346), a small appliance pull (8517), and a backplate (8320, also X8320) — all sharing one pewter pattern across every piece type. Pairing a plain SKU with an X-prefixed version points to two available sizes of the same design, not two separate patterns, worth knowing before placing a mixed order across several cabinet runs.

What the backplate covers

Not every Edgar Berebi collection offers a backplate; Newport does, in two sizes. A backplate sits underneath a knob or pull and hides wear marks or old screw holes left by prior hardware, useful in a renovation where cabinet doors stay put while the hardware itself gets swapped. Skipping the backplate still leaves a clean install, just without that extra layer of coverage around the screw holes.

Choosing pull length and knob placement

Small appliance pull 8517 runs shorter than the regular Newport pull, built for narrow panel strips instead of standard drawer fronts, so check its length against the actual panel before buying several. Knobs and backplates can go on the same door together for a layered look, or skip the backplate for a plainer install with just the knob showing.

Reading Newport's X-prefix

Where a plain number and an X-prefixed number both exist for the same piece, the pull, both knobs, the backplate, treat them as two sizes of one pattern rather than separate products, confirming dimensions before mixing them across a kitchen. Narrow cabinet stiles generally call for the smaller, non-X version; wider stiles suit the X-prefixed size better, and a quick measurement settles the question either way.
