Emtek 8107.E.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Egg knob passage set fit a standard pre-drilled door, or does it need special prep?
It drops into standard tubular door prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 inch backset as standard, or 2-3/4 inch backset if that's what your doors are bored for. Backset is an adjustable choice you make when ordering. One exception worth knowing: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep for thumbturn privacy, so it isn't a straight drop-in the way the standard rosettes are.
2) Does the Emtek Egg passage knob lock, or is it just a latch?
Passage function only. There's no key and no thumbturn, so the knobs always turn free and the latch just holds the door shut. That's the right function for hallways, closets and pantry doors. If you need someone to be able to lock the door from inside for a bed or bath, you want the privacy version of the Egg knob instead, not this one.
3) What's the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three choices, and they change how the knob feels and how the rose looks. The standard latch is the normal tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch cuts the knob rotation needed to retract the bolt, so it takes a shorter turn of the wrist. The CF Mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a cleaner face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. If the look of screw heads on the rose matters to the client, CF is the one to pick.
4) Can I use the Emtek egg knob passage set on a commercial corridor door, or do I need something graded?
The Emtek Classic Brass egg knob passage set is a residential tubular knobset. For a graded commercial passage opening, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knob, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that carries a fire rating and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 is another Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical knob, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Classic Brass egg knob passage set from another decorative brand?
The Omnia 434/PA is the nearest match in intent: a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a passage/hall/closet function and a 3 inch projection. Both are non-keyed passage knobs in a traditional style with brass construction, so the choice comes down to rosette design and finish. The Emtek egg knob passage set is offered with Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope rosettes and can be built with a CF mechanism that leaves no exposed screws on the rosette.
6) I need an egg knob that locks with a key, not a passage set. What should I order instead?
A passage set has no cylinder at all, so for a keyed opening step over to the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob, which is an entry-function egg knob covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. If the door is an interior bed or bath, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is a privacy function over the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. The Emtek egg knob set is non-keyed passage only.
7) Which of these knobs look like the Emtek egg passage set but will not actually latch the door?
Dummy trim. The Omnia 434/0 is an egg-shaped knob single dummy in solid brass and visually reads like the passage version, but it is a surface-mounted trim with no latch. The same applies to the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, and the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset. The Emtek egg knob passage set is a functioning passage latch and is sold complete with latch and strike plate.
8) Do I need to buy the latch and strike separately with the Emtek Egg knob set?
No, it ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. You pick the backset when ordering and the latch faceplate comes round or square corner, so match that to the mortise already cut in your door edge. Nothing else is required to hang it on a standard bored door.
9) Which rosette styles can I get with the Emtek Egg knob, and can I mix finishes?
The Egg knob passage set is offered with the Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope designer rosettes, all in brass. Emtek's brass program lets it be ordered with any brass rosette, and there's a split finish option on the order form if you want the knob in one finish and the rose in another, or a different finish inside versus out.
10) What else can I buy if I want an egg-shaped brass knob but not the Emtek?
Two close cousins we carry. The Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with passage function, so it's the direct functional match. The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is also egg-shaped but it's an entry set, keyed, covering doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, so pick that one only if you actually need to lock the door. Omnia also lists the 434/0 as a single dummy if you just need a pull on a fixed leaf.
11) Can I use this Emtek knob on a thicker than normal door?
There's a Door Thickness field on the order form, so an out-of-the-ordinary thickness should be entered there rather than assumed. Standard interior doors at 1-3/8 inches and standard commercial-thickness doors at 1-3/4 inches are both covered without any special request.
12) Is there a mid-grade passage knob if Grade 1 is more than the job needs?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 over the same thickness range, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage/closet knob with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset. All three are plainer utility knobs rather than the decorative brass rosette look of the Emtek egg knob set.
13) What is a simpler passage knob for a rental turn where the decorative brass is not needed?
The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships as a hall and closet set with a 6AL latch and round corner strike, and the 200P-CP packs the same knob with a round corner adjustable latch and strike. The Pamex FTF30 Baron is a Grade 3 passage knobset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. These are plain utility knobs; the Emtek egg knob set is a brass traditional-style knob with a choice of designer rosette.
14) I need a privacy knob for the bathroom and passage for the hall. What pairs with the Emtek egg passage set?
The Emtek Classic Brass egg knob is a non-keyed passage function, so it suits hall and closet doors only. For the bath, decorative privacy options include the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob privacy lock with the 5148 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
15) What is the closest decorative passage knob to the Emtek egg set if I want a different traditional shape?
The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with the 5058 rose is a traditional passage/hall/closet knob in a different profile, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob comes preconfigured with the 5048 rose, a 2-3/8 inch backset, and a full lip strike. The Emtek egg knob passage set takes an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and can be ordered with Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope rosettes.
16) What finishes does the Emtek Classic Brass Egg knob come in, and will it match older brass hardware in the house?
Seven finishes: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). For a period home where the existing hardware has aged naturally, Unlacquered Brass is the one that will patina along with it; Polished Brass Lifetime stays bright and won't darken.
