Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Knobsets - Astoria Knob, Dummy (Pair)

No boring needed. The Astoria crystal knob dummy set is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no cross bore or latch prep. That makes it the usual pick for a closet door, a false door leaf, or the inactive leaf of a pair where nothing has to latch.

Yes. The Astoria dummy pair covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans older interior doors at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 leaves.

No. Dummy means there is no latch, no spindle turn, and no keying at all, so it is pull only. For a door that has to stay shut or lock, order a passage or privacy knob instead, for example the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage or privacy knob, both rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Astoria crystal dummy is sold as a complete pair, so for a single face there are single dummy options: the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches, the BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim, the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, and the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. All are surface-style dummy trim rather than crystal knobs.

The Astoria crystal knob set is dummy function, meaning it is surface mounted with no latch. For a door that must latch closed, passage options include the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn, the Baldwin 5077 Bethpage privacy knob and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob are privacy function.

The Astoria crystal knob set is designated residential and is dummy function, so it does not latch or carry a cycle grade. For graded commercial openings, cylindrical knob locks include the Schlage D10S Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with Orbit knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core and a fire rating, and the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

Two categories get confused with it. First, exit device and lock trim: the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only, the Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 knob trim in storeroom function are knob trim for exit devices, not standalone dummy knobs. Second, single dummies versus pairs: the Omnia 458/0 is a single dummy knob latchset, where the Astoria crystal dummy is supplied as a pair for both door faces. The Astoria is also surface mounted with no door prep required, so a cylindrical unit like the Bravura Albany passage knobset is not a drop-in exchange.

Ten finishes: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). A split finish can be specified in the optional split finish field if you want one face different from the other.

Seven brass rosettes: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. Pick the one that matches the rose shape already on your other doors, since the knob itself is the same crystal design across all of them.

It is a residential glass and porcelain collection piece, brass body with a crystal knob, and it has no ANSI grade behind it. For commercial traffic or an MRO standard, go to a graded cylindrical set such as the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim or the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 dummy.

Yes, that is the normal use. The Astoria crystal knob is part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection in the American Classic theme, and the same brass rosettes carry across Emtek knob functions, so a closet on a dummy pair can read the same as the latching doors beside it as long as you order the same finish and rosette.

The Astoria crystal knob set is non-keyed dummy trim, so a keyed knob is a separate part. Keyed knob options include the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and 6171 Round knob entry, both for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Kwikset 400P Polo entry knob with 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the Baldwin 5000 Baltimore in privacy form. For office-function entry in a graded lock, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder.

The Emtek Astoria crystal knob set fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. Peers with the same range include the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob, the Arrow MK01 and RK01 Grade 2 passage knob locks, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet lock, the Dexter C2000 passage knob lock, the Pamex FTF Baron in passage, privacy and entrance/office functions, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob. Wider ranges are available if you have thicker doors: the Deltana 6171 Round knob entry covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches and the Falcon X101 covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.

The Emtek Astoria crystal knob is offered in ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel US14, Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Flat Black US19, and on seven brass rosettes including Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Watford and Wilshire, so dummy, and matching functional Emtek knobs, can be specified on a consistent rosette. Baldwin's Estate line approaches the same problem by rose number: the 5011 Colonial passage uses a 5058 rose and the 5077 Bethpage privacy uses an R027 rose. Deltana groups by knob shape instead, with the St. Thomas knob in privacy and the Portland and Round knobs in entry.

If the crystal and brass look is not required, simpler knob options for residential turnovers include the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob with 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, the Bravura Biloxi Grade 2 dummy knobset for closet or false doors, the Pamex FT3 Saturn Grade 3 knob lockset, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob 6-pack with adjustable backset for doing several doors at once. The Emtek Astoria differs in being a surface mounted dummy pair with no latch, in brass, from the Glass and Porcelain collection.

Neither. It is a non-electronic, non-keyed tubular-style trim set, so there is no cylinder, no keyway and no wiring to plan for.
