Emtek 8050.LW.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes in the Emtek Lowell dummy knob set - one knob or two?
It ships as a pair, one non-turning knob with rosette for each face of the door, sold as a complete set. If you only need trim on one side, a single dummy such as the Schlage A170 or the Omnia 434/0 is the right item instead.
2) Will the Lowell dummy knob work on a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 inch doors.
3) Does the Lowell dummy knob lock or latch at all?
It does neither. Dummy function means the knob is fixed, with no latch, no spindle turn, and no cylinder. It is pull-and-push trim only, so the door needs a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch to hold it shut.
4) Do I have to pick a rosette separately with the Emtek Lowell knob?
Yes, the rosette is part of the order. Seven brass rosette styles are offered: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Pick the one that matches the other Emtek trim in the house, since the knob itself is the same crystal design across all of them.
5) Is the Emtek Lowell crystal knob dummy pair suitable for a commercial corridor, or is there a graded alternative?
The Emtek Lowell crystal knob dummy is a residential brass knobset and carries no ANSI grade. For openings that require a graded dummy trim, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical knob trim covering 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. The Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob in the Barrington BA series covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) I need the door to actually latch, not just have a knob - what should I use instead of the Emtek Lowell dummy pair?
The Lowell crystal knob dummy is non-latching surface-mount trim, so it holds nothing closed. For a latching closet or hall door, the Omnia 434/PA is a passage latchset with an egg-shaped knob and 3 inch projection in solid brass, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is another passage option. For bed and bath, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose adds a privacy function.
7) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what knob can I use in place of the Emtek Lowell?
The Emtek Lowell crystal knob dummy covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker stock, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry both cover 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage cylindrical lock is rated 1-3/8 to 2 inch. The Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inch. All of those are latching functions rather than dummy trim.
8) What finishes does the Emtek Lowell crystal knob come in?
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 metal is brass throughout, so unlacquered brass will patina over time while the two Lifetime finishes are made to hold their color.
9) Can I order the Emtek Lowell knob with a different finish on each side of the door?
Yes. There is an optional split finish field on the order, so you can run one finish on the hall side and another on the room side. Type the two finishes you want in that field; otherwise both knobs ship in the single finish selected.
10) I need matching knobs on a bedroom door that actually latch - can I get the Lowell in privacy or passage?
The dummy pair has no latch, so it will not work on a functioning door. Emtek builds the Lowell crystal knob in other functions within the same Glass and Porcelain collection, and matching them keeps the same knob and rosette look across the house. If you need a graded latching knob instead, the Bravura Biloxi dummy and Pamex FTF Baron privacy and passage sets are Grade 2 and Grade 3 alternatives.
11) I have an old mortise-prepped door with two holes - will this surface mount dummy cover them?
Not reliably. The Lowell dummy mounts to the door face and its coverage is limited to the rosette footprint, so any existing bore or mortise cut outside that circle stays exposed. On a previously bored door, a dummy built on a cylindrical chassis, such as the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, sits over the standard prep instead.
12) Can I key the Emtek Lowell crystal knob dummy, or do I need a different knob for a lockable door?
The Emtek Lowell crystal knob dummy is non-keyed dummy trim and cannot accept a cylinder. For a keyed opening in a knob, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office knob lock uses a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
13) What is the closest decorative dummy knob to the Emtek Lowell if I do not want glass or crystal?
The Emtek Lowell dummy pair is a Glass and Porcelain collection knob in brass. For the same dummy function in an all-metal traditional look, the Omnia 458/0 is a traditional single dummy knob latchset in solid brass, and the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset. Both are dummy function like the Lowell, so no latch or bore prep function is involved.
14) Does a Schlage A170 or Dexter passage knob work as a substitute for the Emtek Lowell dummy pair on a double door?
Not directly. The Schlage A170 is a single dummy trim, so it dresses one face only and a pair of inactive doors would need two of them. The Dexter C2000 passage knob is a Grade 2 latching cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, which is a different function entirely from the Lowell dummy. The Emtek Lowell crystal knob dummy ships as a complete pair for both faces of one door and is surface mount with no door prep.
15) What is the Lowell knob actually made of - is the crystal glass or acrylic?
The knob is part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain line with a glass style knob on solid brass hardware; the base material and substrate are brass, including the rosette.
16) I need to standardize knobs across a lot of doors - is the Emtek Lowell dummy the right choice or is there a multi-pack option?
The Emtek Lowell crystal knob dummy is a residential brass dummy set ordered by finish and rosette, one set per inactive door, and it is offered in ten finishes from Flat Black US19 to Unlacquered Brass US3NL across seven rosette styles, which suits matching a decorative program. For volume rollouts of a working knob, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob comes as a 6-pack with adjustable backset.
