Emtek 8207.MN.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Melon privacy knob fit my existing bedroom door prep?
If the door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Melon privacy knobset drops straight in. The backset is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so either common bored prep works. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn, so it is not a plain drop-in on a single-bore door.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Melon knobset work on?
Emtek lists the Melon knobset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors in the specifications, and notes fit on doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick with the standard 2-1/8 inch bored prep. There is a Door Thickness field on the order form, so state the actual thickness when the door is thicker than a standard 1-3/4 inch slab.
3) Is the Emtek Melon knob keyed, and how does the privacy lock operate?
Non-keyed. It is a privacy/bed/bath function, so it locks from the inside with a thumbturn and there is no cylinder or key. For a door that needs a key, look at a keyed entrance knob instead, such as the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob lock.
4) What is included with the Emtek Melon privacy knobset, or do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate, so nothing extra is needed for a standard door. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner to match the existing mortise in the door edge.
5) Is the Emtek Melon knobset suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is a residential product, solid brass, tubular lock type, in a traditional American Classic style. For commercial traffic or a graded spec, use a cylindrical Grade 1 or Grade 2 knob lock instead, for example the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 non-keyed cylindrical knob lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) Do I need to specify the backset when ordering the Emtek Melon privacy set?
Yes, backset is a required selection, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The standard latch supplied is 2-3/8 inch, so call out 2-3/4 inch if the door has the deeper prep, which is common on exterior-width or wider stile doors. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before ordering.
7) What is the closest decorative brass privacy knob to the Emtek Melon privacy knobset?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is the nearest decorative equivalent - it is also a privacy/bed/bath knob with a rose trim. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is another privacy/bed/bath knob, rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek Melon is solid brass with a traditional American Classic styling and can be ordered with the Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope rosette, so the rose profile is a choice rather than fixed.
8) Can I use the Emtek Melon privacy knobset on an exterior or keyed entry door?
No - the Melon knobset is non-keyed with a privacy/bed/bath function, which is thumbturn operated for bedrooms and bathrooms. For a keyed exterior opening, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry set covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) The Emtek Melon privacy set fits doors up to 1-3/4 inch - what privacy or passage knob works on a thicker door?
Where the opening runs thicker, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For non-privacy functions on thick doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet knob 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.
10) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three choices. Standard latch is the conventional bored latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch reduces how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt. The CF Mechanism gives rosettes with no exposed screws for a cleaner face, and the 28 degree latch is included with it. If the look of the rosette matters, pick CF; if you just want lighter knob rotation, the 28 degree latch alone does that.
11) Which rosettes and finishes can I get the Melon knob in, and can I match other doors in the house?
Rosette choices are Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, and Rope, and the knob can be ordered with any Emtek brass rosette. Finishes are French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Because the rosette and knob are ordered separately from the same brass collection, you can match passage and dummy sets on adjacent openings with the same rosette and finish. A split finish can also be specified on the order if the two faces of the door need different finishes.
12) What other decorative brass privacy knobs could I use instead of the Emtek Melon?
In the same decorative solid brass category, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy set with 5148 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset are comparable privacy knobs. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers a wider door range at 1-3/8 to 2 inch. The Baldwin 5000 set is preconfigured, so it is the simpler order; Emtek's advantage is choosing the rosette and finish combination yourself.
13) What is a simpler privacy knob than the Emtek Melon if the finish and rosette style do not matter?
The Melon is a brass decorative set offered in seven finishes with three designer rosette choices and a CF mechanism option that hides the rosette screws. If the appearance is not driving the job, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knobset is a Grade 3 privacy set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim over the same door thickness range.
14) What is the equivalent of the Emtek Melon knobset for a hall or closet door that does not need a lock?
Privacy is the only function the Melon knobset is built for, so a hall or closet opening takes a passage set. Comparable decorative brass passage knobs include the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose. On the commercial side, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) Is a dummy knob a substitute for the Emtek Melon privacy set on a closet or double door?
No. A dummy knob is surface mounted trim with no latch, while the Melon privacy set ships as a complete set with latch and strike plate and locks with a thumbturn. If the leaf is inactive and needs a pull only, dummy options include the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset with 2-3/8 inch backset, the Omnia 442/00 single dummy with 2-5/8 inch rose, and the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors.
16) What knob should I standardize on across a multi-unit building instead of the Emtek Melon privacy set?
The Melon is a residential decorative brass set built for privacy openings only, so a fleet standard usually needs a family that spans functions. The Dexter C2000 Series offers Grade 2 knobs in privacy, passage, entry/office and classroom functions for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron line covers privacy, passage and entrance/office in Grade 3 across the same door thickness range.
17) Is a keyless combination knob like the Lockey 3830 an alternative to the Emtek Melon privacy knobset?
They solve different problems. The Emtek Melon is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath set operated by thumbturn for interior rooms. 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 thick, so access is controlled by a code rather than by an occupant privacy turn.
