Top Knobs USA

What Top Knobs USA does

Top Knobs USA, legally Top Knobs, Inc., is a U.S.-based manufacturer and distributor of premium decorative cabinet hardware founded in 1994 and headquartered in Branchburg, New Jersey. The company produces and supplies cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, appliance pulls, hooks, bath accessories, backplates, and cabinet latches, organized into more than 40 named collections — including Pemberton, Brockwell, Aspen, CHAREAU, PASSPORT, SANCTUARY, Transcend, Tuscany, and the TOP BATH sub-brand — totaling over 4,500 kitchen, bath, and closet designs offered in multiple finish families (Black, Brass/Gold, Bronze/Copper, Silver/Nickel/Chrome). The product line is covered by a Lifetime Warranty and is supported by a Free Sample Program for pre-purchase evaluation.

The company operates an exclusively indirect go-to-market model: all sales flow through an authorized dealer network of kitchen/bath showrooms, specialty hardware retailers, and building supply outlets across the United States and Canada. Customers cannot purchase directly from the corporate headquarters. Dealers access ordering and account tools through a dedicated portal (dealers.topknobs.com), while the public website functions as a catalog and dealer-locator resource. A parallel professional community, 'The Top Knobs Design Board,' targets interior designers, architects, and contractors to drive specification sales. Pricing follows a unit-based retail model with individual product prices listed per SKU, ranging from approximately $2.30 for entry-level backplates to $34.85 for premium items such as the Cabinet Latch.

Top Knobs is a brand within Dimora Brands, Inc., itself part of the PrimeSource Brands portfolio of specialty building products serving the North American home improvement market. In 2014 the company acquired Atlas Homewares, consolidating a competing premium hardware line. No independent revenue, headcount, or ownership disclosures beyond the parent-company affiliation are available; the 1–10 employee figure in the source data appears to reflect corporate/HQ staff only, not the broader operating organization.
