Emtek Arts & Crafts Knobset - Hammered Egg Knob, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep needed. The Hammered Egg dummy knobset is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore or latch bore. That makes it the usual choice for closet doors, french door inactive leaves, and any slab where you want the look of a knob but no latching hardware.

A dummy is a pull only. The Emtek Hammered Egg dummy has no latch, no spindle turn and no key, so it will not hold a door closed on its own. Use it where a roller catch or ball catch keeps the door shut, or on the inactive half of a pair. If you need the knob to retract a latch, you want a passage function instead; if you need to lock a bedroom or bath, that is privacy.

Yes. The Hammered Egg dummy covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans older interior slabs at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 doors. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 is outside the range.

It is a residential product. The Hammered Egg dummy is solid brass trim for homes and light interior work. For a commercial corridor, classroom or anywhere an ANSI grade is on the spec, look at graded cylindrical hardware instead, such as the Grade 1 Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage or the Grade 2 Schlage A170 dummy trim.

The Emtek Arts & Crafts Hammered Egg dummy knob pair is a residential product. For a commercial opening, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob lock rated heavy duty and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical knob. Both are single dummy trims, so a pair of doors takes two units.

The Emtek Arts & Crafts Hammered Egg set is a dummy, which is surface mounted with no door prep and does not latch. If the door needs to close and stay shut, the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in passage function with a 3 inch projection in solid brass, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is another decorative passage option. For a bath or bedroom, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is a privacy function for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch.

Three rosette styles are offered with the Hammered Egg dummy pair: the Arts and Crafts rosette, the Hammered rosette and the Quincy rosette. Emtek allows the knob to be ordered with any brass rosette, so pick the backplate that matches the rest of the openings in the room rather than defaulting to the one named after the series.

Four: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Flat Black (US19) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass is left bare, so it will patina with handling rather than hold its out-of-box color. All four are available across the Arts and Crafts, Hammered and Quincy rosettes.

The Hammered Egg dummy mounts to the face of the door and needs no bore, but it is not designed to cover or fill an existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore. If the door is already bored for a cylindrical lock, use a bored dummy trim like the Schlage A170 or the BEST 6K single dummy, which mount into that prep.

It is built to. The Hammered Egg knob is part of Emtek's Arts and Crafts styling in solid brass, and because it can take any brass rosette you can carry the same rosette profile across dummy, passage and privacy openings in a room so the trim reads consistently door to door.

The Emtek Arts & Crafts Hammered Egg dummy is sold as a complete pair, giving you a knob on each side of one door or one knob on each leaf of a double door. The commercial dummy options are single-sided trims: the Schlage A170 is a single dummy trim and the BEST 6K-1DT is a single dummy trim, so each covers one face only and you buy two to equal the Emtek pair.

Both are dummy knobs, but they are built for different jobs. The Cal-Royal BA40 is a cylindrical dummy knob in the Barrington BA series covering doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range the Emtek Hammered Egg dummy covers. The Emtek is a brass Arts & Crafts styled knob sold as a complete pair with a choice of Arts & Crafts, Hammered, or Quincy rosette, while the BA40 is a plain utility-styled dummy. Match on aesthetics, not just function.

The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function knob in the Egg Knob series covering doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch, which is the closest keyed egg-profile match to the Emtek Arts & Crafts Hammered Egg dummy pair. Note that the Deltana is a separate manufacturer, so finish names and knob contour will not be an exact visual match to Emtek's hammered brass knob.

Yes. There is a split finish field on the Hammered Egg dummy order, so you can call out a different finish for the knob than the rosette. Write the exact combination you want in that field.
