Emtek 8100.PC.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Providence crystal passage knob fit a standard pre-bored door?
Yes, it drops into standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep. The set covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick with that standard prep, and the tubular latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. One caution: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the prep changes to a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore with 2-hole preparation.
2) Does the Providence passage knobset lock, and where should I use it?
It does not lock. Passage function means the knob turns freely from both sides at all times, with no key and no thumbturn, so it belongs on hall, closet, den, and pantry doors. For a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy set with a thumbturn instead, and for an exterior or keyed door you need an entry function.
3) What comes in the box with the Emtek Providence knob set?
It ships as a complete set: two crystal knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed for a door already bored to 2-1/8 inch. The latch faceplate is available in round or square corner, so match it to the existing mortise in your door edge.
4) Do I have to measure my backset before ordering an Emtek Providence knobset?
Yes, backset is a required selection. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore: 2-3/8 inch is the usual residential dimension and 2-3/4 inch is common on commercial-prep and some exterior doors. The standard latch supplied is for 2-3/8 inch, so call out 2-3/4 inch if that is what your door is bored for.
5) Is the Emtek Providence crystal knob suitable for a commercial or high-traffic opening?
It is a residential product, solid brass with a glass knob, built for homes and finished interiors. For a school, office, or apartment corridor you want a graded cylindrical lock instead: the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet knob covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
6) Will this Emtek knob work on a thick 2 inch door?
Yes. The set is stated to fit any door from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick on standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, so a 2 inch slab is inside the range. There is a door thickness field on the order so you can call out your exact slab.
7) What is a comparable decorative brass passage knob if the Emtek Providence crystal knob is not the right look?
The Emtek Providence passage knobset is a brass, glass-style knob in a passage function with no keying. For a solid-brass decorative passage alternative, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a passage function and 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is another passage-function decorative knob. Both latch the same way the Providence does - no lock, knob turns from both sides.
8) Which passage knob should I use if the opening is a fire-rated door?
The Emtek Providence passage knobset is a residential brass knobset selected by rosette and finish. When the opening is fire-rated, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 medium duty passage knob and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset both carry a fire rating, with the X101 fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick.
9) The Emtek Providence passage knob has no lock - what should I use on a bedroom or bathroom door?
Passage is a latch-only function, so it will not secure a bath or bedroom. For a privacy knob, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob (1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors) are decorative brass-style options; for a commodity option, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 privacy knob fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Can I use the Emtek Providence passage knobset on a commercial opening that needs an ANSI grade?
The Providence crystal knobset is a residential tubular knobset and is specified by finish and rosette rather than by ANSI grade. When a graded cylindrical passage knob is required, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob lock, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage knob that carries a fire rating.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek knobs and should I pick it?
CF stands for concealed fastener: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, which is the cleaner look on a visible door. Choosing CF also brings the 28 Degree Rotation Latch with it. The other two choices are the standard latch or the 28 Degree latch on its own with conventional exposed-screw rosettes.
12) Which rosette shapes can I get with the Providence crystal knob?
Seven brass rosettes pair with the Providence knob: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Rectangular and Quincy read more transitional, Oval and Regular more traditional. Picking the rosette is how you match the crystal knobs to the rest of the trim in the house.
13) Can I match the Emtek Providence knob to the other finishes in my house?
Ten finishes are offered: 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). Unlacquered brass will patina over time by design. There is also a split finish option if you need a different finish on each face of the door.
14) I need matching bedroom and closet hardware. Does the Providence knob come in a privacy version too?
The Providence crystal knob is built on a tubular chassis and Emtek offers it in privacy as well as passage, so you can run the same knob, rosette, and finish across hall and closet doors on passage and bedroom or bath doors on privacy. Note that privacy with the STRETTO rosette uses a 1-1/4 inch bore and 2-hole prep for the thumbturn rather than the standard 2-1/8 inch bore.
15) What is a simpler passage knob for rental units where a crystal knob is not needed?
For plain-finish passage knobs, the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 passage ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 passage knob over the same door thickness range. All three are latch-only like the Emtek Providence passage set.
16) If the door needs to lock with a key, what replaces the Emtek Providence passage knob?
The Providence passage knobset is non-keyed by design. For a keyed opening, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and Deltana 6171 Round knob entry are decorative brass-style entry knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors; for a commercial keyed knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - will the Emtek Providence passage knob still work?
The Providence passage knobset fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, so thick doors are within range. If a graded commercial lock is needed on a thick door instead, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
18) I need several matching passage knobs for a whole floor - is there a multi-pack alternative to the Emtek Providence?
Providence passage sets are ordered individually by finish, rosette and backset, with ten finishes from Flat Black (US19) to Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). If you want one carton covering several doors instead, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
