Abstract
Embodiments for lock-and-dock cabinet knobs for doors, cabinets, drawers, or other fixtures, provides an interchangeable face element attachment. The hardware fixture includes an internally threaded insert, a mounting element housing the insert and having internal and top peripheral mechanical attachment assemblies, and a face element having mechanically attachment assemblies rotatably corresponding to and attaching to the mounting element mechanical assemblies and a planar top. The face element planar top can receive and secure several varied and customizable, interchangeable parts. The face element is mechanically affixed to the mounting element to resist being dislodged inadvertently, while being easily removed when so intended, in particular by the easily operable lock-and-dock assembly mounting without the need to disconnect the threaded insert and mounting element housing from the drawer or cabinet door. An embodiment provides a refillable domed capsule as part of removable face element.
