Emtek Classic Brass Knobsets - Waverly Knob, Passage Set

If the door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and is between 1-3/8 and 2-1/4 inches thick, the Waverly passage knobset drops right in. The standard latch is set for a 2-3/8 inch backset, and you pick 2-3/4 inch instead if your bore is set back further from the edge. One exception on prep: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole preparation.

No. The Waverly passage set ships complete with the latch and strike plate. You still have to make two choices on the order: the backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch), and which latch, either the Standard Latch, the 28 Degree Rotation Latch, or the CF Mechanism, which hides the rosette screws and includes the 28 degree latch. The latch faceplate comes round or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in the door edge.

It just latches. Passage function means the knob turns from both sides at all times, no key and no thumbturn, so it is for hall, closet and pantry doors. If you need the door to lock from the inside for a bedroom or bath, you want a privacy set, and if it needs a key, an entry set. Same door prep either way.

It is a residential product, solid brass, tubular lock type, with no ANSI grade behind it. For a commercial opening or a high-traffic corridor where a graded lock is specified, go to a cylindrical passage set instead: the Schlage D10S is Grade 1 heavy duty, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 with a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon W101 is Grade 2 with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Emtek Waverly belongs on interior doors in homes, condos and finished units.

Yes, up to 2-1/4 inches. That range is wider than most residential knobsets hold, which typically stop at 1-3/4 inches, so a heavy solid core or a built-up door is covered. Enter the actual door thickness on the order so the set is built for it.

Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the existing bore hole. 2-3/8 inches is the usual residential figure and is what the Waverly ships with unless you say otherwise; 2-3/4 inches is the other standard and shows up on thicker or heavier doors. Get it wrong and the latch will not reach the bore. Backset is a required selection on the order, so it is not something you can sort out on site.

The Emtek Waverly passage knobset is a residential brass tubular set with a passage function. When a graded commercial passage knob is required for the same hall or closet opening, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed passage latch with the Orbit knob. The Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that carries a fire rating. All three are passage function, so the door swings freely with no lock or key, the same way the Waverly does.

The Waverly knobset covered here is passage function, which means it latches but never locks. For a bed or bath opening, the Baldwin Estate 5000 with the 2 inch Baltimore knob and 5148 rose is a privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is privacy function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical ball knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is another traditional-styled option.

The Waverly passage knobset is non-keyed, so it will not secure an entry opening. Keyed alternatives include the Deltana 6901 Portland knob in entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, both traditional knob shapes; the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike; and on the commercial side the Corbin Russwin CK4851 Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

No. The Waverly passage set is sold complete with latch and strike plate and operates a latch bolt when the knob turns. A dummy knob is fixed trim with no latch mechanism, used on a door held shut by a ball catch or on the inactive leaf of a pair. Dummy options include the Omnia 458/0 traditional single dummy knob latchset, the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, the BEST 6K single dummy trim in Grade 2 medium duty, and the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door has a bored 2-1/8 inch cross bore and needs to latch, the passage set is the correct part, not a dummy.

The Emtek Waverly passage set fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch bore. For a thicker leaf, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet knob lock covers 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. Both are non-keyed passage function, matching how the Waverly operates.

CF stands for a concealed fastener mechanism: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so you get a clean face on the trim. Choosing it also brings the 28 Degree Latch with it rather than the standard latch. If exposed screw heads on the rosette do not bother you, the Standard Latch build is fine. It is an order-form decision, not a field change, so decide before the set ships.

Ten finishes are offered: 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 Waverly knob can also be ordered on any brass rosette, with seven shapes to pick from: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. That is how you keep passage, privacy and entry doors reading as one set down a hallway.

The Emtek Waverly is a brass knobset in a traditional American Classic style, offered in finishes including Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4) and Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B). Comparable decorative brass passage knobs are the Omnia 434/PA traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with the 5058 rose. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore 2 inch knob with 5048 rose is a preconfigured passage lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, which is the same backset the standard Waverly latch is built for.

The Emtek Waverly is a solid brass knobset that can be ordered on seven rosette styles and ten finishes, which is the reason to choose it. Where the opening is a back-of-house closet and the trim does not have to match, the Pamex FTF is a Grade 3 Baron knob lockset in passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Bravura Albany is a Grade 2 passage knobset with round trim, and the Kwikset 200P Polo is a passage door knob for interior hall and closet openings supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike. Each is a passage function knob - free-turning both sides, no key.

For a multi-family or light commercial corridor where a Grade 2 passage knob is the target, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Arrow MK01 and RK01 are Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob locks over the same thickness range, the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical ball knob lock, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Emtek Waverly is the residential brass knobset in the same passage function, orderable with a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.

A passage function knob such as the Emtek Waverly never locks, so it will not serve a storeroom or classroom opening. The Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder. For classroom function, the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 keyed classroom cylindrical ball knob lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, so it gives code-controlled access on an opening where the Emtek Waverly, a non-keyed brass passage knobset, gives free passage in both directions. They are not interchangeable in use: the Waverly latches only, while the 3830 requires a combination to release from the controlled side.

The Waverly passage set is a latching set, so it is not the part for a false or inactive door leaf. For a non-latching leaf you want a dummy trim: the Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 are solid brass traditional dummy knobs, and the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy is a Grade 2 option. Emtek builds dummy versions of its knob designs as well, ordered as a separate set rather than a variant of the passage set.
