Emtek Classic Brass Knobsets - Egg Knob, Dummy (Pair)

A dummy knob doesn't turn and doesn't latch. The Emtek Egg dummy is a fixed pull that mounts to the door face, so it works on doors held shut by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch, and on the inactive leaf of a French pair. If the door needs to latch when it closes, this is the wrong function. You want a passage knobset for that instead.

No boring. The Egg dummy is surface mount, so there's no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no edge bore to drill. It fastens to the door face, which makes it a clean retrofit on a slab that was never prepped, and it also means you can put it on a door that already has a bore only if you plan to cover or plug that hole.

Yes, rosette is a separate choice and the knob can be ordered with any brass rosette. Seven shapes: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Pick the one that matches the rest of the openings in the room, since the rosette is what a person actually sees against the door.

The Emtek Egg knob pair is a residential brass set and no ANSI grade applies to it. For a graded dummy trim, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed single dummy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick, rated heavy duty. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is also Grade 2, medium duty. Both are single dummy trims covering one face, so a pair of doors takes two.

The Emtek Egg knob pair is a dummy, so it has no latch at all. For an egg-shaped knob that operates a latch, the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection. If the door needs to lock with a key, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function egg knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick.

The Omnia 434/0 is the nearest match in shape and function: a traditional egg-shaped knob single dummy interior lockset in solid brass. The Emtek Egg knob set is a dummy function in brass, sold as a pair for both faces of the door, while the Omnia 434/0 is a single dummy covering one face only. If you need both sides of a French door or closet pair dressed, the Emtek pair covers it in one order; the Omnia single dummy would be ordered twice.

No. The Emtek Egg knob pair is a dummy, surface mounted with no door prep required and no latch behind it, so the knob does not turn a bolt. A passage set such as the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob or the Pamex FTF Grade 3 Baron passage knob lockset operates a latch and needs a bored door. Ordering a dummy for an opening that must latch closed leaves the door swinging.

The Emtek Egg knob pair is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as well. The Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inch.

This one is the pair, meaning two knobs, one for each face of the door. That is what you want on a French door leaf or a closet door you operate from both sides. If you only need one face, a single dummy is the version to look for, like the Schlage A170 single dummy trim or the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy.

Ten finishes: 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 two Lifetime finishes are the ones meant to hold their appearance. Unlacquered brass is the opposite by design, it's bare brass that will darken and patina with handling. Oil Rubbed Bronze is a living finish too and will wear through at the touch points over time.

Yes. There's a split finish option on the order, so you can run one finish on the hall side and another on the bedroom or closet side. Since the set is a pair, this is exactly the case it's there for. Enter the two finishes you want in the split finish field when you order.

No cylinder in it. The Egg dummy is non-keyed and has no lock mechanism at all, so it can't be keyed alike into a house or building key system. For a keyed opening you'd move to a keyed entry knob such as the Kwikset 400P Polo entry, or a Grade 3 entrance knob like the Cal-Royal BER00 with a Kwikset keyway if you want to match existing Kwikset keys.

The Egg dummy has no privacy function, so a bathroom or bedroom door that needs a thumbturn needs a different set. Emtek builds the Egg knob in other functions on the same Classic Brass rosettes, so you can keep the same knob shape and rosette across the doors and only change the function. If you're mixing brands instead, be aware the rosette shape and finish won't line up.

The Emtek Egg knob pair is non-keyed with no locking function. For a privacy knob on a bed or bath door, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas Knob is a privacy function knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is a traditional brass-era alternative. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

The Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob from the Barrington BA series that covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same range the Emtek Egg knob pair fits. The Cal-Royal is a plainer cylindrical knob; the Emtek is solid brass in a traditional egg profile with ten finishes from Flat Black (US19) to Unlacquered Brass (US3NL).

A dummy has no latch, so it will not hold a closet door closed on its own. If the closet needs a latch, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock with passage/closet latch function and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek Egg dummy pair suits doors held by a roller catch, ball catch, or magnetic catch, where the knob is only a pull.

No. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only from the 7800 Series, meant as trim for an exit device rather than as a standalone knob for a door face. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is likewise exit device trim with a knob and rose. The Emtek Egg knob pair is a surface mounted dummy with no door prep required, applied directly to the door.

The Emtek Egg knob pair is a residential brass set, so a building standard built around it would be a residential-grade standard. If the facility needs graded hardware across functions, a family such as the Dexter C2000 Series covers Grade 2 passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom knobs in one look, and the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy fills the dummy openings. The Emtek Egg suits residential-style interiors where the finish and the traditional egg profile carry the standard.

Brass, both the material and the substrate, and it's part of Emtek's Classic Brass collection. That matters for the unlacquered and living finishes, which need real brass underneath to patina rather than flake.

Tubular. That's the lock type on record, though in dummy form there's no latch case going into the door edge at all, since it mounts to the surface. Nothing to route into the door edge, no strike, no faceplate.

The Kwikset 400P Polo is a keyed entry knob supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the 400P-CP version is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. It bores into the door and locks with a key. The Emtek Egg knob pair is non-keyed with no cylinder, surface mounted with no door prep, and is used where the knob only needs to be a pull.
