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

No door prep needed. The Waverly dummy knobset is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch bore. That makes it the right choice for a closet door, a fixed panel of a French pair, or any door where you want the look of a knob but nothing that turns or latches.

The Waverly knob is offered on three brass designer rosettes, Rope, Lancaster, and Ribbon and Reed, and Emtek states it can be ordered with any brass rosette. If the passage and privacy sets elsewhere in the house use one of those roses, the dummy can be specified to match rather than picked from a fixed pairing.

No. The Waverly brass knobset is a residential product, and as a dummy it has no latch, no cylinder, and no keying. For a commercial opening that needs a graded lock, look at Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical knobs like the Schlage D10S passage or the Corbin Russwin CK4310, or for a graded dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy.

Not reliably. Because the Waverly dummy is surface mounted with no door prep, it does not use an existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the rosette diameter is what decides whether an old bore is hidden. On a door already bored for a cylindrical knob, a dummy trim built for that prep, such as the Schlage A170 single dummy or the BEST 6K dummy trim, drops into the existing hole instead.

Order a single dummy. The Omnia 458/0 is a traditional single dummy knob latchset in solid brass, and the Omnia 434/0 is a traditional egg-shaped single dummy, also solid brass. On the commercial side, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim in the A Series, and the BEST 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 single dummy trim in the 6K Series. The Emtek Waverly dummy is sold as a complete set covering two faces, which is what you want on a double door or a pair of closet doors; a single dummy is the right call for one leaf.

A dummy knob has no latch and no working mechanism, so it will not hold a door closed. For a door that needs to latch but not lock, use a passage function: the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, the Baldwin 5011 Colonial passage knob comes with a 5058 rose, and the Bravura Albany is a Grade 2 passage knobset with round trim. If the room needs a thumbturn - a bedroom or bath - go to privacy instead, such as the Baldwin 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob.

Yes. The Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 cylindrical single dummy trim, heavy duty, in the A Series, and the BEST 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim in the 6K Series. The Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, and the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob in the Barrington BA series fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Waverly dummy pair is a residential brass knobset, so on a job where the spec calls a duty grade the graded dummies are the ones to quote.

Two categories get mistaken for dummies. Exit device and lock trim - the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only with B design, the Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim with knob and rose, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 knob trim in the ED-500 Series - are knobs on a rose, but they are trim for a device or lock chassis and are not standalone dummies. Second, keyed functions such as the Kwikset 400P Polo entry knob or the Master Lock BC Series Grade 3 keyed entry knob carry a cylinder and a latch. The Emtek Waverly dummy is non-keyed and surface mounts with no door prep.

A dummy is not a latching device, so on an opening where the door has to latch the dummy is not the item. The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock, passage/closet latch function with a 2-3/4 inch backset and carries a fire rating, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core, also fire rated, covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Emtek Waverly dummy is a residential brass knobset with dummy function.

The pair ships as a complete set with a knob and rosette for each face of the door. It is sold and priced as a pair, so if you only need one side, a single dummy trim from another line is a closer fit, for example the Schlage A170 single dummy or the Omnia 434/0 single dummy knob.

Seven finishes, and each one is available on all three rosette styles: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Unlacquered brass is the one to think twice about in a rental or a fleet of units, since it has no coating and will patina with handling; the lifetime polished brass holds its color.

Yes. A split finish option is available on the Waverly dummy pair, so you can run one finish on the room side and another on the hall side where two rooms have different schemes. It is entered as a free text instruction with the order, so name both finishes and which side each goes on.

No handing to specify. A dummy knob does not rotate and has no latch or spindle, so the same set works on a left or right hand door and on either face. The only choices on the order are finish and rosette style.

The Emtek Waverly dummy pair covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker stock, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry, Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry and Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob all cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches. On the commercial side the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. Note those are latching functions rather than dummies, so they are the answer when the thick door also needs to operate.

The Emtek Waverly dummy is a brass knobset in a traditional American Classic style, ordered with a Rope, Lancaster or Ribbon and Reed rosette. To carry that look onto working doors from other traditional brass lines, the Baldwin 5011 Colonial passage knob uses a 5058 rose and the Baldwin 5077 Bethpage privacy knob uses an R027 rose; Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped solid brass latchset and Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. These are separate manufacturer designs, so knob shape and rose profile differ from the Waverly - keeping the whole opening in one Emtek finish and rosette is the way to hold an exact visual match.

The Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, and the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA series covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door needs to close rather than just wear a knob, the Pamex FTF30 is a Grade 3 Baron knob passage lockset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike. These are stamped and plated hardware rather than the solid brass construction of the Emtek Waverly, so expect a different feel and a different look on the door.

The Emtek Waverly dummy pair is surface mount and requires no door prep, so it mounts over the face of the door and does not use an existing cross bore or edge bore. If you are covering a bored door and want the hole used, a bored lockset is the fit: the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage both cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for the same range.

Brass, both in the knob material and the substrate, and the rosettes are brass as well. It is part of Emtek's Classic Brass collection in a traditional American style. If you want a comparable solid brass dummy from another maker, the Omnia 442/00 and Omnia 458/0 are solid brass dummy latchsets.
