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

A dummy pair is pull hardware only. The Old Town crystal knobset in dummy function has no latch, no spindle turn and no lock, so it does nothing but give you something to grab. That is what you want on a false door of a double set, a closet door held by a ball catch or roller catch, or a pantry door with a magnetic catch. If the door needs to stay shut on its own, you need a catch or a latching function instead. Sold as a complete set, two knobs, one for each face.

No boring. The Old Town dummy pair is surface mount, so there is no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no 1 inch edge bore to drill. It screws to the face of the door. That is the practical reason people pick a dummy pair for a slab or an already finished door: no prep, no latch pocket, nothing to patch if you change your mind.

Yes, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches is the stated door thickness range, which covers both the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial leaf and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior door common in older homes and in closet and pantry openings. Since it is surface mounted, thickness only matters for the through-fixing between the two knobs.

Emtek classifies the Old Town crystal knobset as residential. It is glass and brass decorative trim for homes and residential-style interiors, not a graded commercial lockset. For a corridor, classroom or any opening carrying an ANSI grade requirement, look at a graded cylindrical lock instead, such as the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, which is listed as Grade 2, or the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, also Grade 2.

The Old Town crystal knob is a dummy, so it does not latch or turn. For a door that needs a functioning passage latch in a similar traditional look, the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial is a passage knob with the 5058 rose. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage set comes with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike.

The Old Town crystal knob is a residential dummy knob and carries no lock function. Openings written to an ANSI grade take a graded cylindrical lock instead: the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim, heavy duty, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch, and the BEST 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. Where the door needs to latch, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob lock and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range.

The Old Town crystal knob is dummy only and does not lock. For a privacy function on a bed or bath door in a traditional knob, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob with the R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy set comes with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. On a graded opening, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Old Town crystal knob covers doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker doors, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock all cover 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch.

The Old Town dummy pair is non-keyed and has no locking function at all. Emtek builds the Old Town crystal knob in other functions, so the way to keep one look across a house is to order the same knob and rosette in passage for hall and closet doors, privacy for bed and bath, and keyed entry where you need it, and use the dummy pair only where the door has a catch. Keep the finish and rosette selection identical across all of them.

Seven rosettes back the Old Town knob: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. The rosette is what sets the look against your door style, rectangular and Quincy reading more transitional, oval and regular more traditional. Any brass rosette in the range can be ordered with this knob, and the set arrives complete with the rosettes you pick.

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 on the order if you want one face of the door different from the other, which comes up when a dummy pair sits between two rooms finished differently. Unlacquered brass will patina over time rather than staying bright.

It ships as a pair, two knobs, enough for both faces of one door. A set of French doors where both leaves are false needs two of these. Compare that with a single dummy such as the Schlage A170 trim or the Omnia 434/0, which each cover one face only, so ordering by the piece and by the pair are not the same count.

Both are dummy knobs with no key and no latch. The Emtek Old Town is a brass surface-mount set that needs no door prep and is sold as a complete pair, orderable with any brass rosette across seven rose styles including Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Watford and Wilshire. The Cal-Royal BA40 is a cylindrical dummy knob in the Barrington BA series with a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so it follows a cylindrical bore pattern rather than a surface plate.

They share the dummy function but differ in what arrives and what the knob is. The Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim. The Emtek Old Town is a brass crystal knob, part of the Glass and Porcelain collection, in an American Classic styling, sold as a complete pair and orderable with any brass rosette. If the two doors of a pair both need a knob, the Old Town set covers both.

The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is sold as a complete pair set. When only one side of a door takes a knob, single dummy trims include the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, the BEST 6K-1DT Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim, and the Omnia 434/0 traditional egg-shaped single dummy interior lockset in solid brass.

The Old Town crystal knob is non-keyed. Keyed entry knobs in the same knob format include the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and strike, and the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The BER00 keyway matters if the property is already keyed to Kwikset.

No. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the 7800 series, and the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are trim for exit devices, so they mount to a device rather than standing alone on a door. The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is a surface-mount dummy pair that needs no door prep and works on a door with no device on it.

Both. The knob is from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, a crystal knob on brass hardware, with brass as the stated material and substrate for the rosette and mounting components. So the part you grip is glass and the trim carrying it is brass, which is why the finish you choose shows on the rosette and knob neck rather than the knob itself.

Neither. The Old Town crystal knob dummy pair is entirely mechanical, non-electronic and non-keyed, with no cylinder to key and nothing to wire. If you need keyless operation on the same kind of opening, a mechanical pushbutton lock like the Lockey 3830 combination knob lock handles 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors in passage function.

The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is offered in ten finishes including Flat Black US19, Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Brass Lifetime US3, Polished Nickel Lifetime US14, Satin Nickel US15 and Unlacquered Brass US3NL. For the doors that need to function, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob comes with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike.
