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

No door prep needed. The Windsor crystal knob dummy pair is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch bore. That is what makes it the usual choice for a false door in a pair of French or closet doors where there is no latching mechanism at all.

Dummy means no latch and no turning action. The Windsor crystal knob is a fixed pull only, non-keyed, used as a grip on doors held shut by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch. If you need the door to latch, you want a passage or privacy knob instead.

It is a residential product, part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection with a brass rosette and crystal knob, and it carries no cylindrical lock grade. For commercial or institutional openings that need a graded bored lock, look at the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 single dummy trim or, for working functions, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock.

A dummy knob is surface mounted and non-functional, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching closet or hall door, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in passage function with a 3 inch projection, and the Pamex FTF (PMX-FTF30) is a Grade 3 Baron knob lockset in passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Bravura Albany round-trim passage knobset is another Grade 2 passage option.

The Emtek Windsor crystal knob pair is a residential brass knobset. Where a graded product is required, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical knob trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob, and the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset. All three are single dummy trim rather than a pair.

The Emtek Windsor crystal knob pair covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For thicker slabs, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock and the CK4851 Grade 1 entrance/office lock both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. All are latching cylindrical locks rather than dummy trim.

Seven brass rosette shapes are offered: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Pick the one that matches the backplates already on your other Emtek openings so the dummy pair reads the same as the working doors.

Emtek builds the Windsor crystal knob in passage and privacy functions on the same brass rosettes, so a dummy pair on the false leaf can be matched to working doors elsewhere in the room. If you are mixing brands, note that bored dummy trim from other makers, such as the Bravura Biloxi Grade 2 dummy knobset, will not match a crystal knob visually.

The Windsor dummy is a complete set with a knob for each side, intended for openings like French doors or a pair of closet doors. When only one face needs a knob, single dummy trim is the right item: the Schlage A170 Grade 2 cylindrical single dummy, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, and the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset are all single-side products.

Those are different functions, not substitutes. The Emtek Windsor pair is a non-keyed dummy with no latch or privacy mechanism. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob with R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob uses a 5148 rose with a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

To carry one knob style across an opening where one leaf is fixed and one operates, Deltana and Baldwin both run a knob design across functions: the Deltana 6171 Round Knob and 6901 Portland Knob are entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch respectively, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob uses a 5058 rose. The Emtek Windsor dummy itself is surface mounted with no door prep required, so it can sit on the fixed leaf regardless of what operates the active leaf.

No. The Kwikset 200P Polo is a passage knob supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, so it bores through the door and operates a latch. The Emtek Windsor crystal knob pair is a dummy with no latch and no keying at all, mounted to the door surface. They solve different problems: choose the Polo when the door must latch, and the Windsor when the knob is decorative pull only.

The Emtek Windsor is a residential brass knobset offered in ten finishes including Flat Black US19, Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15 and Unlacquered Brass US3NL, and in seven rosette styles, which suits a designed finish package. For volume standardization on working doors, Pamex FTF Grade 3 knob locksets are offered in entrance/office, privacy and passage functions all for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with adjustable backset.

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 unlacquered brass will patina over time; the Lifetime finishes are the ones that stay put.

The knob is a crystal design from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection mounted on solid brass trim, and it can be ordered with any of the brass rosettes.

Yes, a split finish can be specified when you order, which is useful when the closet or pantry side needs to match a different room than the hall side. There is also a comments field for any special instruction on the set.
