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

No boring needed. The Bristol dummy pair is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch prep. That makes it the usual choice for closet doors, pantry doors, and the inactive leaf of a French pair where you only want something to pull on.

Neither. Dummy means no latch, no spindle, no cylinder. The knob does not turn and nothing retracts, so the door has to be held by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch that you buy separately. If you need the door to latch, look at a passage function set, and for a bed or bath use a privacy set.

Two. It ships as a dummy pair, one knob and rosette for each face of the door, sold as a complete set. If you only need a single knob on one side, a pair is the wrong order. Single dummy trims of this type include the Omnia 434/0 and the Schlage A170.

Yes, and it is part of the order. The Bristol knob can be ordered with any brass rosette, and the choices are #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Pick the one that matches the rose already on your other doors so the dummy blends into the run.

It is a residential product. The Bristol crystal knob is part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection with brass rosettes, and carries no ANSI grade. For commercial corridors, offices, or anywhere the opening needs a graded product, use a cylindrical lock instead, like the Grade 1 Schlage D Series or the Grade 2 BEST 6K dummy trim.

The Emtek Bristol crystal knob dummy pair is a surface-mounted residential dummy set in brass with no door prep required. Where a graded commercial dummy trim is specified instead, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical single dummy trim knob covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim knob. Both are single dummy trims rather than a pair, so two would be needed for a double door.

The Bristol crystal dummy pair is non-keyed dummy trim that does not latch or operate a bolt. For a closet or hall door that must latch, a passage set is the right substitute: the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset with 3 inch projection, or the Bravura Albany passage knobset in Grade 2. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn, the Baldwin 5077 Bethpage privacy knob or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob apply.

No. The Bristol crystal dummy pair is a residential dummy set with no latching hardware. Commercial openings that need a rated, heavy duty knob lock are served by products such as the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset, which is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Schlage D10S Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with Orbit knob, or the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset.

Ten: 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). Unlacquered brass will patina over time rather than staying bright, which matters if you are trying to match existing hardware that has already aged.

Yes, a split finish can be requested when ordering. Note the finish you want on each face in the split finish field. Property managers use this where a closet or French door opens from a room with brass hardware into a hall standardized on nickel.

The knob is glass, and the mounting hardware and rosette are brass. That is why it is offered with brass rosettes only. Glass knobs are decorative interior hardware; on a heavily used exterior or high traffic door, a solid brass knob such as the Omnia 434/0 or a graded cylindrical set holds up better.

The Bristol crystal dummy pair is a brass set that can be ordered with any brass rosette across seven rosette styles and ten finishes. Where a plainer, single-configuration dummy knob will do, the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington series dummy knob is a cylindrical dummy for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset.

They are different knob designs, so they will not match visually. The Bristol is a glass knob on a brass rosette. Schlage Residential's F500 Plymouth combo uses a Georgian knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Kwikset's 200P and 400P use the Polo knob. To keep an opening consistent with the Bristol crystal knob, stay within the Emtek Bristol knob and pick the same rosette and finish for the latching and dummy doors.

The Bristol crystal dummy pair covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same range as the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage knob. For a thicker door, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 reaches 2-1/4 inch.

Knob-only trim items are not equivalents. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design and the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function. Those attach to or serve other lock and exit hardware rather than mounting on their own. The Bristol dummy pair is a complete surface-mounted set with no door prep required and no latch.

The Bristol crystal dummy pair is ordered as a set per opening, by rosette style and finish, which is how a designer keeps the glass knob consistent across doors. Where volume matters more than the glass knob, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with adjustable backset. Note the Bergen is a latching knobset, not dummy trim, so it is not a like-for-like replacement on a door with no latch bore.
