Emtek Crystal Knobsets - Astoria Knob, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep is needed. The Astoria crystal dummy knob is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door rather than going through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. That makes it the right choice on a closet or French door slab that was never bored, and it also means it will not fill an existing bore if you are swapping out a real lockset.

Dummy means it does not turn, retract a latch, or lock. The Astoria crystal knob is fixed trim, used as a pull on an inactive door leaf, a closet or pantry door held by a ball catch or roller catch, or the inactive half of a double door. It is non-keyed, with no cylinder and no latch mechanism. If you need the door to stay shut on its own you need a passage or privacy set instead.

The Astoria dummy pair is surface mounted with no door prep and has no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet knob, the Omnia 434/PA is a passage latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is another traditional option. For a commercial-duty passage knob, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed passage latch with an Orbit knob.

The Emtek Astoria crystal dummy knob is a residential product in the glass and porcelain collection. If a project requires a graded dummy trim, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, and the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset.

No. The Astoria crystal knob is non-keyed dummy function, so it has no latch and no privacy lock. For a bed or bath door, use a privacy knob such as the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, or the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.

The Emtek Astoria crystal dummy pair is rated for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so a 2 inch door is outside that range. Knobs listed to 2 inches include the Deltana 6171 round knob entry and the Deltana 3381 egg knob entry, both 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob, also 1-3/8 to 2 inches. The Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.

Yes. The stated door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which covers both the common older interior slab at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4 inch door.

Six Sandcast Bronze rosette patterns are offered, numbered #1 through #6, and the knob can be ordered with any of them. Each rosette comes in three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Pick the rosette pattern to match the other Emtek bronze trim already on your openings.

The knob is from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, with brass substrate hardware behind the crystal knob. It is classified for residential use, not commercial, and carries no ANSI grade. For apartment turns, corridors, or anything in an institutional building, a graded cylindrical dummy such as the Schlage A170 (Grade 2) or the BEST 6K single dummy (Grade 2) is the better fit.

A dummy is trim only, so the working doors nearby need a passage or privacy set. Emtek builds the same Astoria crystal knob in latching functions, so the cleanest match is to stay within the Astoria series and the same rosette number and finish. If the design does not have to match, solid brass alternatives in the same traditional look include the Omnia 434/PA passage latchset and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob.

They serve the same purpose but are not the same item. The Schlage A170 is a single dummy trim, covering one side of one door, and is rated for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches. The Emtek Astoria crystal knob is sold as a complete pair for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches and is surface mounted with no door prep. If you are replacing both faces of a door, one Astoria set does it; with the A170 you would order two.

The Emtek Astoria crystal knob is non-keyed dummy only. For a keyed entry knob in a traditional residential style, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches and the Deltana 3381 egg knob entry fits 1-3/8 to 2 inches. For a builder-grade keyed knob, the Kwikset 400P-CP is Grade 3 entrance for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches with a round corner adjustable latch and strike.

The Emtek Astoria crystal knob is a residential dummy with a brass body and no latch. High-traffic openings are usually specified with graded cylindrical hardware: the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom knob lock, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage knob lock with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset.

Yes. A split finish can be requested as an optional entry when ordering, which is how you match a dark bronze hallway side to a lighter finish inside a room. There is also a comments field for any other instruction that needs to travel with the order.
