Emtek 7208.AS.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Astoria crystal privacy knob fit my existing bored door prep?
Yes, if the door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The Astoria privacy knobset drops into that prep on doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy, so it is not a straight drop-in on a standard single-bore prep.
2) Do I need to specify a backset when ordering the Astoria privacy knob?
Yes. Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships for 2-3/8 inch, which is the usual residential interior backset; if your doors are bored at 2-3/4 inch, call that out on the order.
3) What comes in the box with the Emtek Astoria privacy set, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It's a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing extra to order for a standard bed or bath door. If you pick the CF mechanism, a 28 degree latch is included with it. Latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner to match the existing mortise in the door edge.
4) Is this Emtek crystal knob keyed, and can I use it on a front door?
No key. The Astoria is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath function, so it locks from the inside with a thumbturn and is meant for bedrooms and bathrooms, not exterior entry. For a keyed exterior knob you'd want an entry function lock such as the Deltana 6171 Round Knob Entry or the Kwikset 400P.
5) Is the Emtek Astoria knob suitable for a commercial building or high-traffic doors?
It's built as residential hardware, brass construction with a tubular lock chassis, and that's how Emtek classes it. For commercial corridor or institutional traffic you want a graded cylindrical lock instead, for example the Grade 1 Corbin Russwin CK4310 or the Grade 2 Dexter C2000 privacy knob for a graded bed/bath function.
6) My interior doors are 2 inches thick. Will this Emtek privacy knobset work?
The published door thickness range for the Astoria privacy set is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. There is a door thickness field on the order so unusual doors can be called out, but for a 2 inch door a lock rated to that range is the safer pick, such as the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
7) What is a comparable decorative privacy knob to the Emtek Astoria crystal knob set?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is a decorative privacy knob in the same role, as is the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy set, which lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Emtek Astoria is a glass and porcelain collection knob in brass with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and it can be ordered on #1, #2, #3, #4 or #6 rosettes. The Baldwin and Deltana sets are metal knobs, so pick by the knob material you want at the door.
8) I need a bed and bath knob for a commercial corridor, not a residential one. What should I use instead of the Emtek Astoria?
The Emtek Astoria privacy knob set is designated for residential use. For a graded commercial privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob is Grade 3 over the same thickness range, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob lockset is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those use plain metal knobs rather than a glass knob.
9) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on this Emtek knob?
Three choices. Standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 degree rotation latch shortens how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt, which suits crystal knobs where your grip is on glass. The CF mechanism gives rosettes with no exposed screws, a cleaner face, and it comes with the 28 degree latch. If the look of a screwless rose matters, order CF.
10) Which rosettes and finishes can I get the Astoria knob in, and can I mix them?
Rosette choices are #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, and the knob can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette. Finishes are Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Split finish is also an option if you want the two sides of the door different, and there is a field to specify it on the order.
11) Will the Emtek Astoria privacy knob work on a bedroom door that needs a key?
No. The Astoria knob set is non-keyed, privacy/bed/bath function with a thumbturn. If you need a key on that opening, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office keyed knob lock, the Kwikset 400P-CP is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is Grade 2 and keyed.
12) The closet next to my bedroom does not need to lock. What matches an Emtek Astoria privacy set for that door?
Use a passage knob there rather than a privacy set, since the Astoria is privacy/bed/bath with a thumbturn. Passage options include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass, and the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob lockset, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) Is the Baldwin 5000 Baltimore privacy knob a drop-in substitute for the Emtek Astoria privacy set?
They fill the same privacy role but are prepped differently. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy set is preconfigured with a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. The Emtek Astoria ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and a choice of round or square corner latch faceplate, so it can be matched to an existing prep with a 2-3/4 inch backset where the Baldwin cannot.
14) What looks like a substitute for an Emtek Astoria knob set but will not lock the door?
Dummy knobs. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Omnia 442/00 single dummy knob latchset with 2-5/8 inch rose, and the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset all mount a knob with no latch and no privacy mechanism. The Emtek Astoria is a complete privacy set that includes the latch and strike plate, so only use a dummy where the door is held by a catch or roller.
15) My door is 2 inches thick. Can I still use the Emtek Astoria privacy knob?
The Astoria privacy set fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard prep, so a 2 inch door is within range. Among other knob locks, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, but both are passage function, not privacy.
16) Will the Astoria crystal knob match the rest of my Emtek hardware?
The Astoria knob is part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection in an American Classic style, and it can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette, so it can be tied to bronze trim elsewhere in the house. Finish matching across a project is easiest if you keep to one of the three offered here: Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze.
17) I need to outfit several bedroom doors in a rental in one purchase. Is the Emtek Astoria the right pick?
The Astoria is sold as a complete privacy set per door with a choice of three finishes, five rosette styles and three latch options, so a multi-door order means repeating that configuration. If you want fewer decisions per door, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with adjustable backset.
