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

No door prep is needed. The Waverly dummy knob set is surface mounted, so it screws onto the face of the door rather than dropping into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. That makes it the usual choice for closet doors, false fronts, and the inactive leaf of a double door where there is no latch at all.

Two. This is the pair version, with a knob and rosette for each face of the door, shipped as a complete set. If you only need trim on one side, a single dummy such as the Schlage A170 or the Omnia 442/00 is the one-knob equivalent.

Yes. The stated door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both the thinner interior doors common in older homes and standard 1-3/4 inch doors. Because the set surface mounts, the mounting screws are what span the door, not a spindle through a bore.

No. It is a dummy, non-keyed and non-latching, so there is no cylinder, no turn button and no bolt. It is a pull only. For a knob on the same door that actually latches or locks, you need a passage, privacy or entry function knob instead.

The Emtek Waverly dummy is supplied as a complete pair, so for one face of a door look at a single dummy trim instead. The Schlage A170 is single dummy trim, a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch thick; the BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is Grade 2 single dummy trim in a medium duty cylindrical knob; and the Omnia 434/0 is a traditional egg-shaped knob single dummy in solid brass. The Emtek stays the choice when both faces of a closet or French door need matching knobs.

A dummy knob is surface mounted and does not operate a latch, so if the door has to stay closed you need a passage function knobset. The Omnia 434/PA traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass is the closest decorative match in that role. Other passage knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Bravura Albany with round trim Grade 2 passage knobset, and the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob lockset for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick. Passage knobs require bore prep in the door, which the Emtek Waverly dummy does not.

The Emtek Waverly dummy pair is a residential brass knobset with no ANSI grade carried on it. For a specification calling out a grade on dummy trim, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical dummy in the A Series, and the BEST 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty dummy trim in the 6K Series. The Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset as well. The Emtek remains the choice where the finish and rosette styling drive the selection on a residential opening.

Seven brass rosettes pair with the Waverly knob: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. Rosette is a separate selection from the knob itself, so you can match whatever rose shape is already running on the other doors in the house.

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). A split finish option is available at ordering, which is how you get one finish on the hall side and another inside the room.

It is a residential product, solid brass, traditional styling. For a commercial corridor or a school, look at graded cylindrical hardware instead: the Schlage D10S is Grade 1 heavy duty passage, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 passage with a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door range.

Yes, that is the normal way these get spec'd. The Waverly knob and its brass rosettes carry across Emtek's tubular knobset functions, so a property manager or homeowner can run the same knob and rose shape on passage and privacy doors and drop the dummy on the closet and inactive leaves, all in one finish.

The Waverly dummy is non-keyed dummy trim and has no locking function, so it is not the part for a bath or bedroom. Privacy knobsets that do lock from inside include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob, and the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 privacy knob lockset. Many buyers pair a privacy knob on the bath door with Waverly dummies on the adjacent closet doors to keep the look consistent.

The Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob in the Barrington BA Series is a plain cylindrical dummy covering doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with a single round rose. Both are straightforward round-rose dummies. The Emtek Waverly dummy covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness but is solid brass in a traditional American Classic style, and can be ordered with any brass rosette including the Quincy, Watford, Wilshire, oval, rectangular, and #8 shapes, which is what makes it the pick when the dummy has to match existing decorative hardware.
