Emtek 8207.P.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to specify a backset when ordering the Providence privacy knobset?
Yes, 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 common residential dimension and 2-3/4 inch shows up on heavier or commercial-prepped doors. The standard latch ships for 2-3/8 inch, so call out 2-3/4 inch if that is what your doors are bored for.
2) What does privacy function mean on this Emtek knob, and is it keyed?
Privacy is the bed and bath function: a thumbturn on the inside locks the door, with an emergency release outside. There is no key and no cylinder on the Providence privacy set. If you want a keyed opening, you need an entry or keyed-function lock instead.
3) Is this Emtek knob suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is catalogued and built as residential brass hardware, traditional styling, no ANSI grade behind it. For commercial traffic or a multi-family corridor you want a graded cylindrical lock: the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 non-keyed knob lock, and the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is a Grade 2 option in the same bed and bath function. Use the Emtek on interior residential doors where the look is doing the work.
4) My doors are 2 inches thick. Can I still use this Emtek knobset?
The Providence privacy set's published door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door is outside it. For thicker doors, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and on the commercial side the Falcon X101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
5) What is a decorative privacy knob equivalent to the Emtek Providence privacy knobset from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is the closest decorative equivalent - a privacy/bed/bath function knob with a rose-mounted decorative trim, like the Providence. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is also a privacy/bed/bath knob and is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Emtek Providence privacy set is brass with a choice of Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope rosette, so the difference is largely in the rose design and finish program rather than in function.
6) I need a privacy knob for a rental bathroom and don't need the decorative brass. What is a plainer option?
The Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function is a Grade 3 privacy knob 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 for the same door range. The Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is a Grade 2 privacy lock, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All three are plain utility knobs; the Emtek Providence is a brass set with a designer rosette selection and a traditional American Classic styling.
7) The Emtek Providence privacy set will not work on my commercial corridor door. What knob lock should I use instead?
The Emtek Providence privacy knobset is a residential brass knobset with no ANSI grade in its record, so for a graded commercial opening look at the Sargent 8XG04, a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset, or the Schlage D10S, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob lock in the D Series. For a fire-rated corridor, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door range.
8) What is the difference between the CF mechanism and the standard latch on Emtek knobsets?
Three latch choices. The standard latch is the basic option. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch reduces how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt. The CF mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a cleaner face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. Pick CF if the visible fasteners on a standard rose bother you or the designer wants a clean plate.
9) Do I need to buy a latch and strike separately for the Emtek Providence privacy set?
No. It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so it can match the mortise already cut in your door edge without you having to chisel it over.
10) Can I match passage and privacy Emtek knobs on the same hallway?
Yes. Providence is a series with matching functions, and the privacy version shares the same knob, brass rosettes, and finish range, so a bedroom privacy set and a hall passage set read identically from the corridor. Keep the rosette choice and finish code consistent across the openings and specify the same latch option so the rose faces match.
11) Is this a tubular lock or a mortise lock?
Tubular, bored type. It installs in a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an edge bore for the latch, not a mortise pocket routed into the door edge. If your door has a rectangular mortise pocket cut for a full mortise lock body, this knobset is not a drop-in replacement.
12) What is the Emtek Providence privacy equivalent if the door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Emtek Providence privacy knobset fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore, so most thick doors are already covered. If you are matching a set across openings and want another privacy knob rated past 1-3/4 inch, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Note that Grade 3 privacy knobs like the Pamex FTF Baron and the Cal-Royal BER20 stop at 1-3/4 inch.
13) Is a dummy knob a substitute for the Emtek Providence privacy knobset?
No. Dummy trim such as the Schlage A170 single dummy, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, or the Omnia 442/00 single dummy knob latchset is surface-mounted trim with no latch and no locking action - it is used on inactive or closet doors that are held by a ball catch. The Emtek Providence privacy set is a tubular lock sold complete with latch and strike plate and locks from the inside, so the two are not interchangeable.
14) I need the same door to be keyed instead of privacy. What knob should I order?
The Emtek Providence privacy knobset is non-keyed by design. For a keyed opening in the same knob format, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and the Deltana 6171 Round knob entry are entry-function brass-style knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is offered in a preconfigured entry-related program. For a graded keyed knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is a Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
15) I am buying privacy knobs for a whole apartment turnover. Does the Emtek Providence make sense or is there a volume option?
The Emtek Providence privacy knobset is a brass residential set ordered by finish, rosette and backset, which suits a designer-level turnover. For plainer bulk work, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships 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. Those are packaged for multiple doors at once; the Providence is configured per opening.
16) Which rosettes can I get with the Providence knob?
Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope rosettes are the designer rosette choices paired with the Providence knob. All are brass, in keeping with the traditional American Classic styling of the set.
17) What finishes does the Emtek Providence privacy knobset come in?
Seven: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, which is the point if you are matching aged hardware elsewhere in the house; the Lifetime polished brass is the one that stays bright.
