Emtek 8107.MN.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Melon passage knobset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Melon knob passage set drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Pick the backset on the order; the standard latch ships set for 2-3/8 inches. One caveat on the rosette side: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep, so if you want a plain 2-1/8 inch single-bore door, stay with the Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope rosettes offered here.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Melon knobset handle?
The published range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and Emtek also notes the set will work on doors from 1-3/8 up to 2-1/4 inches thick with standard prep. Door thickness is a field you can enter with the order, so state your actual thickness if it is over 1-3/4 inches and the correct spindle and screw length goes with it.
3) Is the Emtek Melon passage set lockable, or does it just latch?
It latches only. Passage function means no key and no thumbturn, so it is for halls, closets, and rooms that never need to be secured. Emtek's brass knobsets are also built as privacy sets if you need a bed or bath door that locks from inside, and a keyed entry set if you need the door secured from outside.
4) Is the Emtek Melon brass knobset suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is a residential product, solid brass tubular construction, catalogued for residential use rather than graded commercial duty. For corridors, offices, schools, or anywhere you need a graded cylindrical lock, look at the Schlage D10S Grade 1 passage knob or the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock. Falcon's X101 Grade 1 passage knobset is also fire rated and covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Keep the Emtek for finished residential and hospitality-style interiors where the look is the point.
5) Do I have to specify the backset when ordering an Emtek Melon passage set?
Backset is a required selection, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. Residential interior doors are usually 2-3/8; 2-3/4 shows up on thicker or commercial-prepped doors. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before ordering, because the standard latch is supplied for 2-3/8 inches unless you call out 2-3/4.
6) The Emtek Melon knob passage set does not lock - what do I order for a bedroom or bathroom door?
Passage is the only function the Melon knob set is built for, with no keyway and no thumbturn. For a bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose are decorative privacy options, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy set covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Pamex FTF Baron in privacy function and Cal-Royal BER20 are Grade 3 privacy knobs.
7) Which knobs look like a substitute for the Emtek Melon passage set but will not latch the door?
Dummy trim is the trap here. The Melon knob passage set is a complete set with latch and strike plate and turns to retract the latch. Dummy knobs such as the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, BEST 6K single dummy trim, Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob, Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset, and Omnia 434/0, 442/00 and 458/0 dummy latchsets are surface-mounted trim with no latch action, intended for inactive or closet doors.
8) My door is 2 inches thick - what passage knob works if the Emtek Melon set's listed range stops short?
The Melon knob set specifies doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. On the decorative side, Deltana's 6171 Round knob and 3381 Egg knob are listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, though both are entry function rather than passage.
9) Does anything replace the Emtek Melon passage knob on a fire-rated door?
For fire-rated openings, look to the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock, a passage/closet latch function with 2-3/4 inch backset that carries a fire rating, or the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset, also fire rated. Both are medium- to heavy-duty cylindrical passage locks rather than the brass decorative construction of the Melon knob set.
10) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three choices. The standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch shortens how far the knob has to turn before the latch retracts, which reads as a lighter action. 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 the rosette matters on a visible interior door, CF is the one to specify.
11) Does the Emtek Melon knob set come with the latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
Complete set. The Melon passage knobset ships with knobs, rosettes, latch, and strike plate, so nothing else is required to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match it to the existing mortise in the door edge to avoid rechiseling.
12) What finishes can I get the Emtek Melon knob in, and can I mix finishes on one door?
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). Split finish is available as an order option, so you can run one finish on the hall side and another inside a room. Note it in the split finish field when you order.
13) What is a comparable decorative brass passage knob if the Emtek Melon is not the right look?
Within decorative solid brass, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset with a 3 inch projection, and Baldwin's Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is another traditional option. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob passage set comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike if you want one fixed configuration rather than choosing rosette and latch. The Emtek is the one to pick when you want to mix and match the rosette, since any brass rosette can be paired with the Melon knob.
14) I am matching existing Emtek knobs in a house. Can I keep the same knob but change the rosette?
Yes, that is how the Emtek brass program works. The Melon knob can be ordered with any brass rosette, and the rosette choices offered with this passage set are Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope. So you can carry one knob shape through the house and change the rosette to match trim on different rooms, or hold the rosette constant and change knob style room to room.
15) What is a lower-cost passage knob if I do not need the Emtek Melon knob's brass rosettes?
The Melon knob set is a solid brass knobset offered with Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope rosettes. If plain trim is acceptable, the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob is a Grade 3 set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Bravura offers the Albany and Lynchburg round trim passage knobsets in Grade 2.
16) I need a keyed knob to match the Emtek Melon passage set on the same run of doors - what are my options?
The Melon knob set is non-keyed passage only. Keyed knobs in comparable ranges include the Baldwin-adjacent decorative entries from Deltana, the 6901 Portland knob entry for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the 3381 Egg knob entry, plus the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob with 6AL latch and RCS strike. For graded openings, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with Global knob and conventional cylinder and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office ball knob are keyed cylindrical options.
17) I have to standardize passage knobs across a multi-family building - how does the Emtek Melon set compare to volume options?
The Melon knob passage set is a residential solid brass set ordered per opening, with backset selected as 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch and a choice of seven finishes. For volume-style purchasing, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
18) What is the difference between the Emtek Melon passage knob and the Arrow MK01 or RK01?
The Melon knob passage set is a brass, traditional-style tubular knobset offered in seven finishes with Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope rosettes. The Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob lock from the MK Series, and the RK01 is the Grade 2 ball knob version from the RK Series; both are listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Melon set specifies.
19) Is the Emtek Melon knob solid brass or plated?
Brass through the body, not a plated zinc knob. Material and substrate are both brass, and it sits in Emtek's Classic Brass collection with a traditional, American Classic styling. Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) is offered if you want a living finish that patinas rather than a lacquered Polished Brass.
