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

Neither. Dummy means there is no latch, no spindle turn, and no cylinder. The knob is fixed. If you need the door to stay shut you want a passage or privacy function instead, and if you need a key you need an entrance function.

Two. It is sold as a complete set with a knob and rosette for each face of the door, which is what you want on a double-swing or a closet door finished on both sides. If you only need one face, a single dummy such as the Schlage A170 or the Omnia 434/0 is the single-sided version of the same idea.

It is built for residential use, brass construction, traditional styling, no ANSI grade behind it. For a commercial opening or a facility standard you want a graded cylindrical lock instead: the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 non-keyed, the Schlage D10S is Grade 1 passage, and the BEST 6K Series covers Grade 2 dummy trim if the commercial door genuinely only needs a pull.

The Emtek Providence dummy knob is surface mount with no door prep and no latch, so it holds nothing closed. For a door that needs to latch, passage function is the direct step across: the Omnia 434/PA traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with 3 inch projection, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, or the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore 2 inch knob with 5048 rose, preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. Each of those requires a bored door prep the dummy does not.

The Emtek Providence dummy knob is a residential-duty knobset. For a commercial opening where a graded product is called for, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob lock rated heavy duty, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical knob lock rated medium duty. Cal-Royal BA40 is another cylindrical dummy knob, in the Barrington BA series. All three are dummy function, so they are trim only with no latch, the same as the Providence.

Yes, and it is part of the order. Three brass designer rosettes are offered: Rope, Lancaster, and Ribbon and Reed. Pick the one that matches the rest of the trim in the room, because the rosette is the part that reads visually from across the hallway, not the knob.

Seven: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Every one of the seven is offered with each of the three rosettes. Unlacquered brass is the one to know about: it is left bare and will darken with handling, so it will not stay matched to a lacquered US3 knob elsewhere in the house.

Yes. There is a split finish option on the order where you name the two finishes, which is how you handle a door between two rooms trimmed differently, say polished chrome on the bath side and oil rubbed bronze in the hall.

The Providence dummy pair only covers the doors that need no latch. For the bedroom you need a privacy or passage function in the same Providence knob and rosette, ordered separately, so the look carries across the openings while the function changes per door. Order the finish and rosette identically across all of them: any of the seven finishes pairs with any of the three rosettes.

For a solid brass traditional dummy, the Omnia 434/0 is an egg-shaped single dummy and the Omnia 442/00 is a #44 single dummy with a 2-5/8 inch rose. Both are single, not a pair, so you would order two for a door finished on both faces. The Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 round-trim dummy knobset if you want a graded product instead of a decorative brass one.

You can, but you will be covering a hole. The surface mount dummy does not use the 2-1/8 inch cross bore that was there, so whether the rosette hides the old prep depends on the rosette diameter against your existing bore. If the door is already bored and you want the hole used, order a passage function knob rather than the dummy.

Both are dummy function knobsets. The Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset comes with round trim and is a Grade 2 product. The Emtek Providence dummy is brass, traditional in style, and the knob can be ordered with any of the brass designer rosettes, so the rose profile is a selection rather than fixed. That is the practical split: the Biloxi carries a Grade 2 rating with one trim shape, the Providence is a brass set chosen by rosette and finish.

No, they are not the same kind of part. The Emtek Providence dummy is non-keyed dummy trim, surface mount with no door prep. The Kwikset 200P Polo is an interior hall and closet passage knob that ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, and the 200P-CP version comes with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike. Those are latching passage sets that need a bored hole and a strike mortised into the jamb. Use the Polo where the door has to stay closed and the Providence dummy where the knob is a pull on a fixed or ball-catch door.

The Emtek Providence dummy knob is brass and traditional in style, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For the bed and bath doors on the same run, Deltana offers brass-family traditional knobs in privacy function: the 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy with 5148 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, are the other traditional privacy options. For entry doors, Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and Deltana 6171 Round knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

No. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design, part of the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function from the ED-500 Series. Both are exit device trim, meant to mount to a panic device on the door, not standalone knobs. The Emtek Providence dummy is a non-keyed brass dummy knob supplied as a complete set for a standard door. A knob that reads as trim-only in the description is not automatically a dummy.

The Emtek Providence dummy is a residential brass knobset. Where a fire rated opening is involved, Falcon lists fire rated cylindrical knob locks: the W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage and closet latch function with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note that both are latching passage sets rather than dummy trim, so the door gets a bored prep and a latch.

The Emtek Providence dummy is a brass knob with a choice of designer rosette. If the decorative rosette is not needed, the Cal-Royal BA40 is a cylindrical dummy knob in the Barrington BA series fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim. Both are dummy function, so like the Providence they turn or sit fixed without operating a latch.
