Emtek 5150.P.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Emtek Providence dummy knobset sold as a pair or a single knob?
It ships as a pair, meaning a knob and rosette for each face of the door. If you only need one side, a single dummy such as the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim or the Omnia 434/0 single dummy knob covers that instead.
2) Will the Providence dummy knob work on a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The Providence knobset covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Emtek builds to 1-3/4 inches as the standard, so if your door is thicker than that you have to call it out on the order; there is a Door Thickness field for exactly that.
3) Does this Emtek dummy knob latch or lock at all?
Neither. It is a non-keyed dummy: no latchbolt, no cylinder, no turn. The knob is fixed and purely a pull. For a door that has to latch shut you want a passage set, for a bath or bedroom a privacy set, and for a keyed door an entrance set.
4) I need a dummy knob for a commercial corridor door rather than a residential one. What should I use instead of the Emtek Providence dummy?
The Emtek Providence dummy knob is designated residential. For a commercial opening, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob in the A Series, and the BEST 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim in the 6K Series. Both carry an ANSI grade, which the Providence is specified without, so they are the ones to quote when a submittal calls for a graded dummy trim.
5) The Emtek Providence dummy does not latch. What do I order for the same opening if I need a latching knob?
A dummy knob is surface mounted with no latch, so for a door that has to stay closed you need a passage or privacy set. Comparable knobsets include the Omnia 434/PA traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection for passage, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Choose passage for a closet or hall and privacy where the room needs a push-button lock.
6) Is the Schlage A170 dummy trim a direct swap for an Emtek Providence dummy pair?
Not a like-for-like swap. The Emtek Providence dummy ships as a pair, covering both faces of the door, while the Schlage A170 is single dummy trim, meaning one side only. The A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty non-keyed knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch, and the Providence is a brass residential set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a two-sided application you would need two A170 units or the Providence pair.
7) Which knobs look like a substitute for the Emtek Providence dummy but will not work on a dummy application?
Keyed and latching knob locks are a common mis-pick. The Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office Grade 3 knob lock, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office keyed ball knob, and the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob all require a bored door with a latch and, in the keyed versions, a cylinder. The Emtek Providence dummy is non-keyed and surface mounts with no door prep, so it goes on a door that has no bore at all, such as a closet or a fixed inactive leaf.
8) What rosette shapes can I get with the Emtek Providence knob?
Four Classic Brass rosettes: Regular, Rectangular, #8, and Rope. The Rope rosette runs a shorter finish range than the other three, so if you are set on a specific finish, pick the finish first and then the rosette.
9) What finishes does the Emtek Providence knob come in, and can I match it to other doors in the house?
Ten finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Flat Black (US19), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). Because these are standard US finish codes, you can spec the same code across the passage and privacy sets on the rest of the openings and keep the look consistent. Note that Unlacquered Brass will patina over time rather than staying bright.
10) Can I order the Emtek Providence dummy knob with different finishes on each side of the door?
Yes. There is an optional Split Finish field on the order, so you can run one finish facing a hallway and another facing the room. Spell out which finish goes on which side when you enter it.
11) I want the same Providence look on the doors that actually have to latch. What do I order?
The dummy is the fixed version of the set. Emtek builds the Providence knob in passage and privacy functions as well, using the same Classic Brass rosettes and finishes, so a closet or French door pair can take the dummy while the bedroom takes privacy and the hall takes passage, all matching. The installation guides Emtek publishes for the passage, privacy and dummy knobsets cover all three.
12) The Providence is described as a key-in knob style. Does that mean it takes a cylinder?
No. This one is a tubular cylindrical knobset in the key-in-knob family by design, but the dummy version is non-electronic, non-keyed and has no cylinder bore. If you need a keyed opening in a similar residential knob, look at a keyed entrance set rather than adding a cylinder to this.
13) What is a lower-cost dummy knob alternative to the Emtek Providence in a round trim?
The Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knob and the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock from the Barrington BA series covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Providence dummy covers. Both are simpler round-rose designs, where the Providence is a brass knob offered with rectangular, regular, rope, or #8 rosettes in ten finishes.
14) I need a dummy knob on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch. What are my options?
The Emtek Providence dummy is built for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, and a door thickness can be specified for thicker doors when ordering. If you prefer a peer catalogued to a wider range out of the box, the Deltana entry knobs such as the 3381 Egg and 6171 Round cover 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummy, so the Providence with a thickness note remains the dummy-specific route.
15) We are standardizing a whole floor of doors. Can the Emtek Providence dummy match the other functions, or do we mix brands?
The Providence dummy is a residential brass tubular knobset in a traditional American Classic look, so matching within the same design family keeps the floor consistent. If a graded cylindrical set is required for the traffic doors, the Dexter C2000 series covers passage, privacy, entry/office, and classroom functions all at Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron series covers entrance/office, privacy, and passage at Grade 3 in the same thickness range. Those give one knob design across functions on the graded side of the job.
16) What dummy knob should I quote for a fire-rated opening instead of the Emtek Providence?
The Emtek Providence dummy knob is a residential set. Where a fire-rated assembly is involved, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock carries a fire rating with a 2-3/4 inch backset in passage/closet function, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core is fire rated for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. Confirm with the door schedule which function the rated leaf actually requires before substituting.
17) Is the Emtek Providence knobset solid brass or plated?
Brass, both the substrate and the finished material, which is why it sits in Emtek's Classic Brass collection. It is a traditional, American Classic styling, aimed at residential openings rather than commercial traffic.
