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

No door prep is needed. The Emtek Classic Brass Egg knob dummy pair is surface mounted, so it screws to 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, pantry doors, and the inactive leaf of a French door pair where there is no latch at all.

Dummy means there is no latch, no spring return, and no lock. The Egg knob is a fixed pull only, non-keyed. If you need the door to stay shut you want a passage or privacy set instead.

Yes. The stated door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which covers both the common older interior door and standard modern doors.

The Omnia 434/0 is a traditional egg-shaped knob single dummy interior lockset in solid brass, which is the nearest match in shape and material to the Emtek Classic Brass Egg knob dummy. The difference is quantity and trim: the Emtek set is a dummy pair in brass with a choice of Rope, Lancaster, or Ribbon & Reed designer rosette, while the Omnia 434/0 is a single dummy. Deltana also builds an Egg Knob series, but its 3381 is an entry function rather than a dummy.

A dummy is surface mount with no latch, so if the door has to stay shut you need a passage or privacy function. In the same traditional egg shape, the Omnia 434/PA is a passage latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection. Other traditional-look passage knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob with 5048 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. For bed and bath, the Baldwin 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is a privacy function.

The Emtek Classic Brass Egg dummy pair is a residential brass knobset with no ANSI grade behind it. For a graded commercial opening, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 heavy duty in the A Series, and the BEST 6K-1DT is Grade 2 medium duty. If the door needs a working function rather than trim, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset that carries a fire rating and takes an interchangeable core.

It ships as a complete set with a knob and rosette for each face of the door. That is what you want on a double door where both leaves get a knob, or on a single door you want dressed on both sides. If you only need one side, a single dummy such as the Schlage A170 or the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy covers that.

Three designer rosettes: Rope, Lancaster, and Ribbon and Reed. Each is offered in seven finishes, Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7).

Yes. There is an optional split finish field on the order, so you can call out one finish for the hall side and another for the room side, useful when a bedroom or closet door faces two different finish schemes.

It is a residential grade decorative set with no ANSI grade behind it, better suited to homes, model units, and hospitality interiors. For commercial openings that need a graded product, look at the Schlage A170 Grade 2 dummy trim or the BEST 6K single dummy trim, both Grade 2.

Egg-shaped knobs with working functions are available from other brands: the Omnia 434/PA is an egg knob passage latchset with a 3 inch projection, and the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function set fitting 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The Emtek Egg set covers the dummy side of the same design language.

Anything with a latch will not drop into an undrilled door. The Emtek Classic Brass Egg dummy is surface mount with no door prep required, whereas the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob is a latchset and the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Bravura Biloxi BV34722 is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, and the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob in the Barrington BA Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so those stay in dummy territory.

The Emtek Classic Brass Egg dummy pair fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Cal-Royal BA40, Dexter C2000 passage, Pamex FTF passage and Kwikset 400P-CP cover the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch band. For thicker leaves, Deltana 3381 and 6171 go to 2 inch, Corbin Russwin CK4310 goes to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 reaches 2-1/4 inch.

The Emtek Classic Brass Egg dummy pair comes with Rope, Lancaster, or Ribbon & Reed designer rosettes over a brass egg knob. For a simpler round profile, the Bravura Biloxi BV34722 is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, and the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington is a plain dummy knob. The Schlage A170 is a single dummy trim in the A Series with standard cylindrical styling.

The Emtek Classic Brass Egg dummy is non-keyed. For a keyed traditional brass knob, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry and the Deltana 6901 Portland Knob entry are entry functions. In graded product, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway, the Dexter C2000 entry/office is Grade 2 keyed, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder.

No. Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) has no protective coating and will patina with handling and air. Polished Brass Lifetime (US3) is the finish to specify if you want it to stay bright. Both knob and rosette are brass.

Yes, within the Classic Brass line. The Egg knob is offered with any of the brass designer rosettes, so a hall of doors can carry the same rosette and finish while some openings get working functions and the closet doors get dummies. Keep the rosette and finish codes consistent across the order.
