Emtek Crystal Knobsets - Astoria Knob, Passage Set

The Astoria passage knobset ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. Nothing else is needed for a standard bored door. The latch faceplate can be had with round or square corners, so it matches whatever prep is already cut into the edge of the door.

Yes. The Astoria set is a tubular lockset built for standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. One exception on the trim side: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for thumbturn privacy, so it is not a straight drop-in on standard prep.

Backset is a required choice at order time and both 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch are offered. The standard latch supplied is the 2-3/8 inch, which is the usual residential interior backset; if your existing bore centers 2-3/4 inches from the door edge, specify that instead. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bore before ordering.

No. Passage function means both knobs always turn and retract the latch, with no locking and no key. It is for hall, closet and pass-through doors. For a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy set with a thumbturn, or a keyed entrance function if the door needs security.

The Astoria passage set is designated residential, so for a commercial corridor look at a graded cylindrical passage knob instead. Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed passage knob lock with the Orbit knob, and Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that is fire rated and fits doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. For medium duty work, Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 fire rated passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet lock with the Global knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is the nearest decorative equivalent - it is a passage/hall/closet function knob set on a rose, the same function the Astoria passage set performs. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose is also a passage set and comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, where the Astoria is ordered with a backset choice of 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch. Omnia 434/PA is another solid brass passage latchset in an egg-shaped knob with a 3 inch projection. The Astoria differs from all three in the knob itself, which is part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection on a brass substrate, with a choice of five rosette styles.

Passage is a latch-only function with no locking, so for a bed or bath door you need a privacy set. Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob with the R027 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose is a privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that on an Emtek set the STRETTO rosette requires a 1-1/4 inch bore and a two-hole door prep for thumbturn privacy.

The Astoria passage set is non-keyed, so a keyed opening needs an entrance or storeroom function knob. Kwikset 400P Polo is a keyed entry knob supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the 400P-CP is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Deltana 3381 Egg Knob and 6171 Round Knob are both entry function for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. On the commercial side, Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder and Global knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

The Emtek Astoria passage set fits doors from 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard prep, so it already covers thick doors. If you would rather use a graded commercial lock, Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 passage knobset rated 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, and Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. By contrast, Arrow MK01 and RK01 passage knobs and the Dexter C2000 passage knob are all rated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch.

CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from the face of the door. Choosing CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. If you do not mind visible rosette screws, the standard latch or the 28 degree rotation latch can be ordered on their own. The 28 degree latch reduces how far the knob has to turn before the latch pulls back.

Five rosette styles (#1, #2, #3, #4 and #6) and three finishes: Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze. Emtek also allows the Astoria knob to be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette, and there is a split finish field on the order if you want the knob in one finish and the trim in another.

The Astoria crystal knob shown here is the passage version, used on closets and hall doors where nothing locks. Emtek builds the same Astoria knob in privacy and dummy configurations as well, so you can run one knob design and one finish across the whole floor and only change the function per door. Keep the rosette number and finish consistent across each order so the trim matches.

For a plain passage knob, Kwikset 200P Polo is a passage knob for interior hall and closet doors supplied 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. Pamex FTF is a Grade 3 Baron knob lockset in passage function for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage ball knob lock for the same thickness range. All three use a turned metal knob rather than the glass knob of Emtek's Astoria.

No. The Astoria passage set is a working latch - it is sold complete with latch and strike plate and turns to retract the bolt. A dummy knob is surface mounted trim with no latch at all, used on inactive or closet doors. Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 are single dummy knob latchsets in solid brass, Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim, BEST 6K is a Grade 2 single dummy trim, and Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the door has a 2-1/8 inch cross bore already, you want the passage set, not dummy trim.

The Astoria passage set is ordered per opening, with finish, rosette and latch selected on each set and an optional split finish, so a house is standardized by repeating the same selections. If you would rather buy prepackaged, Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Sure-Loc Bergen is a round knob sold as a six pack with adjustable backset. Those use a metal knob rather than the glass knob and sandcast bronze rosettes of the Emtek set.

Yes. Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with passage function and a 3 inch projection. Bravura offers several Grade 2 passage knobsets - Albany and Lynchburg with round trim, and Dallas with rectangle trim in a US4 satin brass finish. Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial is a passage knob on a 5058 rose. The Emtek Astoria differs in using a glass knob on a brass substrate in an American Classic theme, with a choice of Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze.

The Astoria passage set is a mechanical non-electronic knob set with no code entry. For keyless operation, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, fitting doors 1 3/16 to 2 inch. It is a working alternative on a door where you want the passage-style operation but need the knob to control access by code.
