Emtek 8050.PC.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Providence knob set work on a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The stated door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which covers both the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 inch doors.
2) Does the Providence dummy knob lock or latch at all?
It does not. Dummy means non-keyed and non-latching trim, pure pull hardware. If the door needs to stay shut, use a passage set; if it needs privacy, use a privacy set. Emtek's crystal knobs are offered in those functions as well, and in the broader range a Bravura Biloxi dummy or Cal-Royal BA40 dummy are the same idea in a plainer knob.
3) Can I match Emtek Providence crystal knobs to the rosettes already on my other doors?
Yes, within Emtek's brass rosette range. The Providence knob can be ordered with any brass rosette, and the offered shapes are the #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Pick the same rosette you have elsewhere in the house and the dummy door reads as part of the set.
4) Will the Emtek Providence crystal dummy knob work on a 2 inch thick door?
The Emtek Providence crystal knobset covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick and mounts to the surface with no door prep. For thicker slabs, knob locks catalogued to 2 inches include the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset at 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
5) Is the Emtek Providence crystal knob suitable for a commercial corridor, or is there a graded knob to use instead?
The Emtek Providence Classic Brass Crystal knobset is a residential brass knob in the Glass and Porcelain collection with a tubular lock type, and it is a non-latching dummy. Openings written to an ANSI grade are better served by cylindrical locks that carry one: the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset is fire rated with an interchangeable core, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob lock.
6) What is an alternative to the Emtek Providence crystal dummy knob pair if only one side of the door needs a knob?
The Emtek Providence Classic Brass Crystal knobset is a dummy sold as a pair, so it puts a non-turning knob on both faces of the door. When only one face needs trim, single dummy options include the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical knob lock, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim in Grade 2, and the Omnia 434/0 traditional egg-shaped single dummy lockset in solid brass. Pairs are typical for inactive double doors and French door slabs; single dummies suit closet or cabinet doors held by a catch.
7) The Emtek Providence dummy knob does not latch. What knob should be used on a door that needs to stay closed?
The Providence crystal knobset is a dummy, surface mounted with no door prep and no latch, so it will not hold a door shut. For a latching but unlocked opening, passage knobs include the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock, the Schlage D10S Grade 1 passage latch with Orbit knob, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob, and the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped latchset in solid brass. For a bed or bath door, privacy versions include the Dexter C2000 privacy knob and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob.
8) Can the Emtek Providence dummy knob be keyed for an exterior door?
No. The Providence Classic Brass Crystal knobset is non-keyed with a dummy function, so there is no cylinder and no latch. Keyed knob options include the Kwikset 400P-CP Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office keyed ball knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder.
9) Can I order Emtek Providence knobs with a different finish on each side of the door?
Yes. A split finish can be specified when ordering, using the optional split finish note, which is how you match a dark hallway side to a lighter room side. There is also a comments field for anything else the order needs to carry.
10) I need a dummy knob for a French door pair, will one Emtek Providence set cover both doors?
No. The Providence dummy is a pair for a single door, one knob per face. Two doors that both need knobs on both sides take two sets. If the inactive leaf only needs a knob on the room side, a single dummy such as the Omnia 442/00 or Omnia 458/0 covers one face per unit.
11) Do I need to worry about handing or backset with the Emtek Providence dummy knob?
Neither applies. Surface mount dummy trim has no latch and no spindle turning a retractor, so there is no left or right hand and no backset to set. Position it where it looks right relative to the stile and existing hardware. Backset only becomes a factor if you switch to a functioning lockset, for example a passage set bored at 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches.
12) For a whole-house build, what pairs with the Emtek Providence crystal dummy on the doors that do need to function?
The Providence crystal knob is offered only in dummy function, so functioning doors in the same project take a separate lockset. Decorative brass-family options include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob in passage or privacy with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, and the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) What looks like a substitute for the Emtek Providence crystal dummy knob but is not?
Knob trim sold for exit devices and knob-only service parts read like dummy knobs but are not interior dummy sets. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with 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 the ED-500 series with a storeroom function. Those mount to a device or chassis; the Emtek Providence crystal pair is a surface-mounted brass dummy that needs no door prep.
14) What is the Emtek Providence knob actually made of, and is the crystal part glass?
The hardware is brass, both material and substrate, and the knob itself is glass, from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection. So you get a solid brass rosette and stem with a glass knob body, in an American Classic look.
