Deltana 3381 Egg Knob Entry

Both work. The 3381 Egg Knob entry set covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inches thick, so the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4 inch door both take it without a shim or a different chassis. The 2 inch top end also covers thicker solid-core or built-up doors that stop a lot of residential knobsets.

No, one part number covers it. The 3381 ships with an adjustable latch that sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, which are the two standard bore-to-edge dimensions on residential doors. You set it on the bench before the knob goes in, so you don't need to measure the existing prep before ordering.

Yes. The 3381 uses a Kwikset-compatible keyway, so it can be keyed into an existing Kwikset-keyed set of doors rather than adding a second key to the ring. It's a single cylinder entry lock, keyed outside and thumbturn or button inside. Keying is chosen at order time: keyed different, or keyed alike across the knobs you buy together, and there's a field for keying to a specific code if you're matching an existing system.

It's built and rated as residential hardware, tubular chassis in steel and zinc. For a single-family home, a condo unit door, or light interior use it's appropriate. For a commercial opening that sees constant traffic, step up to a cylindrical Grade 1 or Grade 2 knob lock: the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob, and the Dexter C2000 entry/office knob is Grade 2. Those are the ones to spec when a property manager needs the lock to survive a leasing-office or common-area door.

It should, on a standard tubular prep. The 3381 is a tubular chassis with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset and covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, which is the range a residential knob bore is cut to. Because the keyway is Kwikset compatible, the existing key can carry over if you have it keyed to code. If you'd rather stay with the original brand, the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob is the direct like-for-like replacement.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function tubular knobset with a single cylinder on a Kwikset compatible keyway. The Cal-Royal BER00 is the nearest peer on keyway: it is an entrance/office knob lock built around a Kwikset keyway, rated Grade 3, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is also an entrance function knob, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both key into the same Kwikset system, so an existing key can carry across; the Deltana 3381 covers a wider door range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and uses an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry set is a residential tubular knobset. For a commercial opening, the BEST 8K Series entrance function single cylinder knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is a Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. A step down, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob lock is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Edgewood is a Grade 2 entrance knobset. Those cylindrical bodies take a different cylinder than the Kwikset keyway the 3381 uses, so an existing Kwikset key will not carry over.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is keyed, single cylinder entry function. Where the opening does not need a key, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in passage function with solid brass construction, and the Omnia 434/0 is the same egg-shaped knob as a single dummy with no latch at all. The Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg knob is a dummy pair, so it mounts a knob on each face without operating a latch. Passage and dummy trim will not accept a cylinder, so those are for halls, closets, and inactive leaves rather than an entry door.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is keyed entry with a single cylinder. Several knobs sit next to it that will not secure a door: the Omnia 434/0 and Omnia 458/0 are single dummy latchsets, the Bravura Biloxi and BEST 6K single dummy trim are dummy function, and the Schlage A170 is Grade 2 single dummy trim. The Kwikset 200P Polo, Arrow MK01, Arrow RK01, and Falcon W101 are passage function, which retracts a latch but never locks. Any of those on an entry opening leaves the door unsecured, so match on function before finish.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which is wider than most residential knobs. Among the peers that publish the same reach, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office knob lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 goes to 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, though the X101 is passage function and takes an interchangeable core. For a keyed opening on a thick door, the CK4851 is the direct alternative. Most of the Grade 3 residential knobs, including the Cal-Royal BER00 and Kwikset 400P-CP, stop at 1-3/4 inch.

Handing doesn't apply. The 3381 egg knob entry set is universal, so the same unit goes on a left- or right-hand door. Egg-shaped knobs have no orientation to get wrong the way a lever does, and the latch reverses for either swing.

Entry means keyed from the outside: it locks, and you carry a key. Use it on an exterior door or any door that has to secure. A passage knob has no lock at all and is for halls and closets. A privacy knob locks from the inside only with a push button or turn, no key, for bedrooms and baths. If you want the same egg-knob look on a non-locking door, an Emtek Hammered Egg dummy pair or an Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped passage latchset are the non-keyed equivalents in that shape.

Yes, keying alike is selected at no charge when you order, so every 3381 in the order opens on one key. There's also a keying-to-code option if you're adding doors to an existing Kwikset-keyed system and need the new knobs cut to the key already in use. Choose keyed different instead if each door should have its own key.

Depends on what you're matching. For another decorative residential entry knob, the Delaney Brookhaven and the Callan Canova are Grade 3 entrance knobsets, and the Callan Edgewood is Grade 2. If a Kwikset keyway is what matters, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway. For a heavier opening the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the same thickness span as the 3381.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is entry function only, so the bedroom and bathroom doors need a privacy set. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset over the same door range, and the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Baldwin's Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is the option if the interior doors are being matched to a decorative knob rather than a utility one. Privacy sets use a thumbturn instead of a cylinder, so they carry no keyway.

No. The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is entry function, which means the inside knob can be unlocked and left free for normal traffic. For a door that must stay latched and key-only from the outside, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom version with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a classroom opening, the Dexter C2000 classroom ball knob lock is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are cylindrical commercial bodies rather than the residential tubular chassis the 3381 uses.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is a keyed set with a single cylinder on a Kwikset keyway, so every user needs a key. Where key control is the problem rather than the lock, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch. It runs on a code instead of a cylinder, so there is nothing to rekey when a tenant or crew changes, and nothing to key alike with the rest of the doors either.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is a residential entry knobset. For fleet standardization across many openings, the Callan line runs one design through several grades: the Edgewood and Roland are Grade 2 entrance knobsets, while the Canova and Santo are Grade 3 entrance. Delaney offers the Belton, Galway, and Olivia as Grade 3 entrance knobsets, and the Master Lock BC Series biscuit knob is a Grade 3 keyed entry. Pamex FTF Baron gives a Grade 3 entrance/office knob with matching privacy and passage functions in the same family, which is what keeps interior and exterior doors consistent on a single spec.

Five: PVD Polished Brass, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Antique Brass. The PVD polished brass is the one to pick when the knob is on an exterior door and you want the brass to hold its color rather than tarnish, since PVD is a plated coating over the base metal rather than a lacquer.

A knob requires grasping and twisting, which is why levers are the usual call on doors that need to be operable without a tight grip, including most accessible-route openings. On a residential entry, a bedroom, or a period house where the egg shape is the point, the 3381 knob is fine. If the door is in a commercial or multi-family common area, price a lever instead before you commit.

The Deltana 3381 is an Egg Knob in steel and zinc, offered in PVD Polished Brass, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Antique Brass. On shape, the Omnia 434 family carries the same traditional egg-shaped profile in solid brass, as the 434/PA passage latchset with a 3 inch projection or the 434/0 single dummy. The Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg knob keeps the egg silhouette with a textured face as a dummy pair. Emtek also offers porcelain knobs with a threaded rod and the Georgetown and Providence crystal dummy knobs for a different decorative direction entirely.
