Emtek 8207.E.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Egg knob privacy set fit my existing door prep, or do I need to re-bore?
It drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, so a door already prepped for a common residential knob takes it without new boring. The latch is set up for a 2-3/8 inch backset as standard, with 2-3/4 inch available if your bore is further from the edge. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn privacy, so it is not a straight swap into standard prep.
2) Which backset do I order for an Emtek Egg privacy knobset?
Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: 2-3/8 inch is the usual residential interior dimension, 2-3/4 inch shows up on heavier or exterior-style preps. Pick wrong and the latch will not line up with the knob spindle.
3) What does the privacy function on this Emtek knob actually do?
Privacy, also called bed and bath: it locks from the inside with a thumbturn and has no key cylinder at all. Outside there is an emergency release, not a keyway. If you need a key on the outside for a bedroom or office, this is the wrong function and you want an entry or keyed set instead.
4) Is this Emtek knobset suitable for a commercial corridor or a high traffic opening?
It is a residential solid brass tubular set in a traditional style, meant for interior bedroom and bath doors in homes. For a commercial opening where an ANSI grade is specified, look at a cylindrical lock instead, for example the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob or a Grade 1 Schlage D Series cylindrical knob lock.
5) What is the closest decorative-brass alternative to the Emtek Egg knob privacy set for a bedroom or bath door?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is a privacy/bed/bath function decorative knobset, as is the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek Egg knob privacy set is solid brass in the Classic Brass series and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and it can be paired with a Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, or Rope rosette, so the choice usually comes down to whether you want to pick the rose separately or take a preconfigured knob-and-rose pairing.
6) I need a privacy knob for an apartment bathroom that will take heavy tenant traffic - is there a graded option instead of the Emtek Egg knob?
Yes. The Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy lock 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 over the same door thickness range. Pamex FTF also offers a Grade 3 Baron knob in privacy function. The Emtek Egg knob privacy set is a residential solid brass decorative set, so where a written ANSI grade is required on the spec, the graded cylindrical locks are the ones to quote.
7) Will the Emtek Egg knob privacy set work on an entry door, or do I need something else?
No - it is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath set with a thumbturn, so it does not secure an entry. For a keyed exterior door in a similar traditional brass style, Deltana offers the 3381 Egg Knob in entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the 6901 Portland knob entry for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Kwikset's 400P-CP Polo is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob over a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range.
8) My doors are 2 inches thick - can I still use the Emtek Egg knob privacy set?
The Emtek Egg knob privacy set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. If the leaf runs to a full 2 inches, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and is the direct privacy-function alternative. For a passage opening at that thickness, Corbin Russwin's CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock also covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
9) For a school or office corridor, is the Emtek Egg knob privacy set the right choice or should I look at commercial knob locks?
The Emtek Egg knob privacy set is a residential brass set in privacy/bed/bath function. For institutional corridors, the commercial cylindrical lines are the ones to spec: Falcon X101 is a heavy duty Grade 1 passage knobset with interchangeable core, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch; Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset; and Dexter C2000 offers a Grade 2 classroom ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
10) Do I need to buy a latch and strike separately for the Emtek Egg knobset?
No. It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. The latch faceplate can be had in round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut into your door edge.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek knobsets and should I choose it?
CF means the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so you get a clean face on the trim. Choosing it also brings the 28 degree rotation latch. The other two choices are the standard latch or the 28 degree rotation latch on its own. If screw heads on the rose bother you or the client, take CF.
12) Can I match the Emtek Egg privacy knob to the other hardware in the house?
Seven finishes are offered: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Rosette style is a separate choice, Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope, and the Egg knob can be ordered with any of the brass rosettes. There is also a split finish option if you want a different finish inside and out.
13) What else looks like an egg-shaped brass knob if I want a decorative alternative?
Omnia makes a traditional egg-shaped solid brass knob, the 434/PA passage latchset and the 434/0 single dummy, though those are not privacy function. Deltana lists a 3381 Egg Knob in entry function. For a decorative brass privacy knob from another house, Baldwin's Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob and the Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy set with 2-3/8 inch backset are the closest matches in function.
14) Can I use an Omnia 434/0 in place of the Emtek Egg knob privacy set on a bathroom door?
No. The Omnia 434/0 is a single dummy egg-shaped knob - it is surface-mounted trim with no latch and no locking mechanism, so it only suits a door held by a roller catch or a fixed inactive leaf. The Emtek Egg knob privacy set is a tubular privacy lock supplied complete with latch and strike plate and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep. Other dummy knobs that look like substitutes but are not include the BEST 6K single dummy trim and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim.
15) What is a simpler, lower-cost privacy knob than the Emtek Egg knob for a rental turn?
The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset over the same door range - both are plain cylindrical privacy sets without the decorative rosette program. The Emtek Egg knob privacy set is a solid brass traditional set where the rosette is selected separately from Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, or Rope, and a CF mechanism is available for rosettes with no exposed screws.
16) Is there a preconfigured privacy knob alternative if I do not want to specify backset and rosette separately?
Yes. The Baldwin Estate 5000 preconfigured 2 inch Baltimore knob with 5148 rose ships as a privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike already set, and Schlage Residential's F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob comes as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Egg knob privacy set is ordered by specifying the backset as either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch along with the rosette and latch type.
17) I need matching hardware on hall and closet doors, not just the bath. What do I order?
This particular Egg knob configuration is privacy only, with a thumbturn. For hall and closet doors on the same run you want a passage set in the same Classic Brass line and rosette so the trim matches. If you are mixing brands instead, Baldwin's Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob and Pamex FTF Baron passage are passage-function equivalents.
