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

Two. It ships as a dummy pair, one knob for each face of the door, sold as a complete set with the rosettes. If you only need a single knob on one face (an inactive French door leaf, for instance), a pair is more than you need and a single dummy trim like the BEST 6K single dummy or the Schlage A170 single dummy is the one-sided version.

The Georgetown knob is a dummy only, so it won't latch. To keep the crystal look on doors that need to function, order the matching Georgetown knob in a passage or privacy function from the same Emtek Glass and Porcelain collection. The dummy pair is what you put on the doors that don't need a latch so the whole run of doors reads the same.

No. It's a residential product in Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, with a brass base and a crystal knob. For an office, school, or apartment common area, go to a graded cylindrical lock instead: the Schlage A170 dummy trim is Grade 2, and the BEST 6K single dummy is Grade 2 medium duty.

The Georgetown crystal knob dummy is sold as a pair of surface-mounted knobs with no door prep required, which is what a pair of inactive or closet doors needs. Among other dummy knobs, the Schlage A170 is a single dummy trim in Grade 2 with a Heavy Duty rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range, and the BEST 6K single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Both of those are single dummies, so a double door takes two of them ordered separately, while the Georgetown is already a two-knob set. The Emtek is brass with a glass knob for residential openings; the Schlage and BEST are metal knobs built for commercial traffic.

No. The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob is a dummy - it mounts to the face of the door with no bore prep and does not turn a latch. A passage knob does latch: the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob and the Pamex FTF Grade 3 Baron passage knob are both non-keyed like the Georgetown but carry a latch, and the Falcon W101 Grade 2 passage knob is fire rated with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Buyers replacing a knob on a closet door that currently clicks shut want a passage function; the Georgetown fits a door held by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch instead.

The Georgetown crystal knob is a dummy with no locking mechanism, so it will not privacy-lock a bed or bath door. For a knob that locks from inside in a decorative traditional style, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with the R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with the 5148 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike both carry privacy function, as does the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob, which fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Georgetown is the right choice on the closet or inactive door in the same room where a matched appearance matters but no latch is wanted.

The Georgetown crystal knob is a residential brass and glass knob in a dummy function. Openings that call for an ANSI grade on the drawing take a commercial cylindrical knob instead: the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with an interchangeable core covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and carrying a fire rating, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob. Where a Grade 2 is acceptable, the Arrow MK01 and Corbin Russwin CK4410 are non-keyed passage knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Georgetown covers.

1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers standard 1-3/4 inch doors and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older homes. Because the set surface mounts and nothing passes through the door, thickness only affects the mounting screws, not the operation.

Seven: the Regular, Oval, Rectangular, Quincy, Watford, Wilshire, and #8 rosette. Any brass rosette can be ordered with the knob, so you can carry a rectangular rosette through a whole floor for a squarer trim look or stay with the round Regular rosette on traditional casing.

Yes. There's an optional split finish field on the order, so you can run one finish on the bedroom side and another on the hall side. Put the two finishes you want in that field when you order.

A dummy knob is a fixed pull. It does not rotate and there's no latch behind it, so the door has to be held shut by a catch or a magnet. A passage knob turns and retracts a latch without any locking. If your door needs to stay closed on its own, you want a passage set such as the Bravura Albany or the Dexter C2000 passage knob, not a dummy.

Yes. The Georgetown pairs a glass knob with a brass rosette in ten finishes and seven rosette shapes, which suits rooms where the hardware is meant to be seen. Where a closet door only needs a pull, the Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy cylindrical knob in the Barrington BA series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Omnia 434/0 is a traditional egg-shaped single dummy in solid brass. The Bravura and Cal-Royal are single dummies for one door face; the Georgetown ships as a pair.

The Georgetown crystal knob is non-keyed by design, so an entry door needs a separate keyed knob. In a traditional brass look, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob and Deltana 6171 Round knob are both entry function and fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6901 Portland knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the Georgetown's door range. For a graded entry knob, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo is Grade 3 keyed entry for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike, and the Callan Edgewood is a Grade 2 entrance knobset.

They are different products despite the similar name. The Emtek Georgetown is a glass and brass crystal knob in a dummy function, sold as a pair and surface mounted with no door prep. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack in the F Series with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - a bored, latching set rather than a surface-mounted dummy. Ordering a Georgian expecting a crystal dummy means door prep the Emtek does not require.

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob covers only the dummy openings and is residential. A facility standardizing one knob family across functions is better served by a commercial series that carries the whole function range: Sargent's 8X Line 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset while the 6 Line 6G04 is the Grade 2 storeroom equivalent, and Dexter's C2000 Series runs Grade 2 classroom, entry/office, passage and privacy knobs all on a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range. The Georgetown suits the decorative residential openings inside that same property.

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). The two Lifetime finishes are the ones to pick if you don't want the plating to change. Unlacquered brass is the opposite choice, it's meant to patina with handling.

No, those solve different problems. The Georgetown crystal knob is a non-keyed dummy that does not latch or lock. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch - it controls access, which the Georgetown does not. Where a door has been running a combination knob and now only needs a decorative pull, the Georgetown covers the hole pattern by surface mounting without door prep.
