Emtek Classic Brass Crystal Knobsets - Old Town Knob, Privacy Set

Yes. The Old Town privacy knobset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick, so a typical 1-3/4 inch interior door needs no extra prep. One exception on the door prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, that one takes a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole preparation for the privacy thumbturn instead.

Backset is a required selection, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships as 2-3/8 inch, which is what most residential interior doors are bored for; if the existing hole centers sit 2-3/4 inches back from the door edge, call that out on the order. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bore before you pick.

It's a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to order to hang it on a bored door. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match whichever the existing mortise in the door edge already is and you won't be chiseling.

Privacy, or bed/bath function: it locks from the inside with a thumbturn and has no key. There is no cylinder and no keyway on it at all. That's the right function for a bedroom or bathroom door. If you need a key on the outside, this isn't the set, and a passage version (no lock at all) is what you want for a hall or closet.

It's a residential product, solid brass, tubular lock type. Glass knob with brass trim suits houses, condo interiors, boutique hotels and high-end multi-family unit interiors. For a commercial opening that has to take real traffic, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical knob instead: the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 non-keyed cylindrical knob lock, and the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is a Grade 2 privacy set. Those are the ones spec'd on a commercial drawing.

Depends what you're after. For the same decorative-brass look from another brand, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob are both privacy-function knobs, the Deltana rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. For a plain, lower-cost privacy knob the Pamex FTF Baron is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim over the same thickness range. What you give up going that route is the glass knob and the choice of ten finishes and seven rose shapes.

The Emtek Old Town knob is a Glass and Porcelain collection knob in a Privacy/Bed/Bath function, brass material, tubular lock type, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. For the same bed and bath function without the crystal knob, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas Knob Privacy covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob privacy lock comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. Both are privacy sets, so the function on the bedroom or bath door stays the same.

The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is a residential privacy set in brass. When a submittal calls for a graded privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2 with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob lockset is Grade 3 over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob with brass trim is Grade 3 over that same range. All three carry the Privacy/Bed/Bath function, so the door behavior matches while the paperwork carries a grade.

The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is a residential brass privacy knob. Commercial openings that need heavy duty cylindrical hardware take a different family: the Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed Orbit knob lock, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core and a fire rating, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For classroom function specifically, the Dexter C2000 Series classroom ball knob is Grade 2, keyed, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas Knob Privacy is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If the opening is entry rather than bed and bath, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob Entry and Deltana 6171 Round Knob Entry also cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Measure the actual leaf before ordering, since the thumbturn spindle length is what sets the limit.

Three choices, and they change how the trim looks as much as how it works. Standard latch is the conventional one. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch shortens how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt. CF Mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, a cleaner face on the door, and it includes the 28 Degree latch as part of the package. If a visible screw head on the rose is going to bother you or the client, take the CF.

Ten finishes cover most of what's already on a door: 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 rosette shape is a separate choice, and the Old Town knob can be ordered with any brass rosette, so you can carry the same rose profile across passage, privacy and entry openings and only the function changes.

Yes, up to 2-1/4 inches, which is further than most residential knobsets reach. Use the Door Thickness field on the order to state the actual door. For comparison among what else is out there, the Deltana knobs and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 top out at 2 inches, and the Schlage A170 at 1-7/8 inch, so on a heavy stile-and-rail or a rated-thickness slab the Emtek covers ground those don't.

No handing to specify. It's a non-keyed tubular privacy knobset with a knob on both faces, so it works on a left or right hand door either way. The two things you do have to decide are the backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, and the latch faceplate corner, round or square.

The Emtek Old Town knob is built as a Privacy/Bed/Bath set with a thumbturn, so it locks from inside. For a hall, closet or laundry door that only needs to latch, the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset comes in a passage function at Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is Grade 2 over the same range, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a residential passage knob. None of these lock, so do not put them on a bedroom or bath door.

No. The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is non-keyed, with a Privacy/Bed/Bath function operated by thumbturn. For a keyed opening, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 Series entry/office ball knob is Grade 2 and keyed over the same door range, and the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob is Grade 3 with a Kwikset keyway. Keep the Old Town on the bed and bath doors and pair a keyed knob at the entry.

No. The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is a working privacy set sold complete with latch and strike plate. A door leaf that only needs a surface-mounted knob takes a dummy trim instead: the Omnia 458/0 traditional single dummy knob latchset is solid brass, the Omnia 442/00 #44 single dummy knob latchset has a 2-5/8 inch rose in solid brass, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. Ordering a privacy set for a dummy application means boring a 2-1/8 inch cross bore you do not need.

Both are Privacy/Bed/Bath knobs for residential interior doors. The Emtek Old Town is a Glass and Porcelain collection crystal knob on a brass base, ordered with a choice of rosette including #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire, an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and finishes from Flat Black US19 through Unlacquered Brass US3NL. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob is supplied with the R027 rose as a defined knob and rose pairing. The choice comes down to whether you want a glass knob with a selectable rose or a fixed metal knob and rose combination.

They are not interchangeable. The Emtek Old Town is a non-keyed Privacy/Bed/Bath knob with a thumbturn for bedroom and bath doors, brass, tubular. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function covering 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, which controls who gets through the door by code rather than giving an occupant a privacy turn. Use the Old Town where someone inside needs to lock themselves in, and the Lockey where you are gating access to a room.

The Emtek Old Town crystal knob is offered in the Privacy/Bed/Bath function and is non-keyed, so the entry door needs a different part. Sets that cover multiple functions in one family include the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 Series, which runs passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom knobs all at Grade 2 for that same door range. If the crystal look matters on the interior doors, a common approach is Old Town on the bed and bath doors and a matching-finish keyed knob at the entry.

Seven rose profiles: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. The rosette is what sets the look against the door, so pick it to match the trim style of the room, then keep the same one across the other openings. Note that the rose is an ordering decision, not something you change later without pulling the set off the door.

Yes. There's a split finish option on the order form where you name the two finishes, useful when a bathroom or bedroom face needs to match the room and the hall side needs to match the corridor hardware. Both sides still draw from the same ten finishes, from Flat Black (US19) through Unlacquered Brass (US3NL).

No. The Emtek Old Town is a bored lockset with a tubular latch, sold complete with latch and strike plate for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Exit device openings take dedicated trim: the Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim pairs a knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in a storeroom function. Those mount to the device, not to a standard cylindrical door prep.
