Emtek 8200.MN.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Melon privacy knob fit my existing door prep, or do I need to re-bore?
Standard prep works. The Melon privacy knobset drops into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, which is the usual residential bored-door prep, and the latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. One exception: if you spec the STRETTO rosette, that version needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy.
2) Do I have to choose a backset when ordering the Emtek Melon privacy set?
Yes, backset is a required selection, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole. 2-3/8 is the common residential dimension; 2-3/4 shows up on thicker or wider-stile doors. The standard latch supplied is for 2-3/8, so call out 2-3/4 if that is what your door is bored for.
3) Can I mix the Melon knob with a different rosette shape to match the rest of my doors?
Yes. The Melon knob can be ordered with any brass rosette, and the choices are #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. That is how you keep a house consistent, pick one rosette shape and run it across passage, privacy and keyed openings.
4) Is this Emtek knobset suitable for a commercial corridor or an apartment turn job?
The Melon brass knobset is a residential lockset, solid brass, traditional styling. For light multi-family interiors it is fine, but for graded commercial work you want a cylindrical lock with an ANSI grade behind it. The Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob lock covers the same bed and bath function at Grade 2, and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob is a Grade 3 option, both listed for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) What is a comparable decorative brass privacy knob to the Emtek Melon knob privacy set?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is a comparable decorative privacy knob, as is the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob in privacy function, which covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek Melon privacy set is solid brass in a traditional style and takes any of seven brass rosettes including Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Watford and Wilshire, so it is the choice when the rose shape has to match other doors in the house.
6) I need a privacy bed and bath knob for a commercial corridor instead of a residential brass set. What should I use?
For a commercial opening, look at the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 privacy cylindrical ball knob lock, non-clutching and non-keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim for the same thickness range. The Emtek Melon privacy knobset is classified for residential use and is offered in brass with decorative rosettes.
7) Which knobsets look like a substitute for the Emtek Melon privacy set but will not lock a bathroom door?
Several similar-looking knobs are passage or dummy only. The Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose are passage/hall/closet function with no locking, and the Omnia 458/0 and Bravura Biloxi are dummy knobsets with no latch action at all. The Emtek Melon set is a privacy/bed/bath function and includes the latch and strike plate.
8) The bedroom doors need a keyed knob rather than a privacy turn. What takes the place of the Emtek Melon privacy set?
The Emtek Melon privacy set is non-keyed. For a keyed knob on the same style of opening, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob and Deltana 6171 Round knob are entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lockset.
9) Our door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch. Which knob locks cover that when the Emtek Melon set does not?
The Emtek Melon privacy set is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For thicker stock, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
10) What comes in the box with the Emtek Melon privacy knobset?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Privacy function means an inside thumbturn with an outside emergency release, no key and no cylinder. Nothing else is required to hang it on a bored door.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek knobsets and should I pick it?
CF stands for concealed fastener: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so you see clean brass on the face of the door. Choosing CF also brings a 28 degree rotation latch with it. If you do not care about visible rosette screws, the Standard Latch or the stand-alone 28 Degree Rotation Latch (Latch28) are the other two choices.
12) What finishes does the Emtek Melon knob come in, and which ones will not change over time?
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, US3 and US14, are the ones meant to hold their appearance. Unlacquered brass is the opposite by design, it patinas, and oil rubbed bronze is a living finish that wears at contact points.
13) Is a privacy knobset the right function for a bathroom, or do I need a keyed lock?
Privacy is the correct function for a bathroom or bedroom. The Melon set is non-keyed, locked from the inside only, with no cylinder to key or rekey. If the door also needs to be secured from outside with a key, privacy is the wrong function and you want an entry or entrance-function knobset instead.
14) What is a lower-cost privacy knob lockset alternative to the Emtek Melon privacy set?
The Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function is a Grade 3 set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim for the same range. Both come as a fixed knob and rose design, where the Emtek Melon privacy set is a solid brass set that can be ordered with any brass rosette and in ten finishes from Flat Black to Unlacquered Brass.
15) What matching passage knob goes with the Emtek Melon privacy set on closet and hall doors?
Within the same decorative brass family of products, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is offered as a passage lock with 5048 rose and a matching privacy lock with 5148 rose, both with 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, if a single brand pair is wanted. The Emtek Melon privacy set itself is ordered with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and with any brass rosette, so passage and privacy doors can carry the same knob and rose.
16) I need a fire-rated knob lock. Does the Emtek Melon privacy set work, or is there an alternative?
For an opening with a fire rating requirement, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock in passage/closet function with 2-3/4 inch backset carries a fire rating, as does the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset. The Emtek Melon privacy knobset is a residential brass tubular set in privacy/bed/bath function.
17) For multi-family bedroom and bath doors in volume, is there a privacy knob option other than the Emtek Melon set?
For repeat unit work, the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 privacy ball knob lock is non-keyed and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob lockset is a Grade 3 set for the same range. The Emtek Melon privacy set is the decorative route, sold complete with latch and strike in ten finishes, with an optional CF mechanism that leaves no exposed screws on the rosettes.
18) Why would I want the 28 degree rotation latch instead of the standard latch?
A 28 degree latch retracts with less knob rotation than a conventional tubular latch, so the knob turns a shorter arc to release. On the Melon privacy set it is offered on its own (Latch28) and is also bundled whenever the CF concealed-fastener mechanism is selected.
19) Can I order the Emtek Melon knob with two different finishes, one per side?
Yes. There is an optional Split Finish entry on the order, so you can run one finish on the corridor side and another inside the room. Put the two finishes you want in that field. Door thickness is also a free-text entry, so if your door is outside typical thickness you can state the actual measurement with the order.
