Emtek Crystal Knobsets - Bristol Knob, Dummy (Pair)

It does not. Dummy function means the knob is fixed, it does not turn, there is no latch bolt and no keyway. Use a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch to hold the door closed. If you need the door to actually latch, order a passage set instead.

No. The Bristol crystal knob is a residential product from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, brass bodied with a glass knob, and carries no ANSI grade. For commercial corridors and institutional openings, use a graded cylindrical set, for example the Grade 1 Schlage D Series or the Grade 2 BEST 6K dummy trim.

The Bristol crystal knob dummy is surface mounted with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a closet or hall door that needs to latch, passage knobsets include the Schlage D10S Grade 1 orbit knob passage latch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 global knob passage/closet lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob, and the Falcon W101 Grade 2 passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a fire rating. In a traditional residential look, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose are latching versions.

Four sandcast bronze rosette styles, #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, each offered in Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Pick the rosette that matches the other Emtek bronze trim on the job, then match the finish across the openings.

Yes. A split finish option is available at order time, which is how you handle a closet or pass-through door where the hall side has to match one finish scheme and the room side another. State the finish you want on each face in the split finish field.

The Bristol dummy pair only covers non-latching openings. For bedroom and bath doors you need a privacy function, for hallway and closet doors a passage function, and those are separate tubular locksets. Keep the same rosette number and finish across all of them so the openings match, and use the dummy pair only on closets, pantries and inactive French door leaves.

The Bristol crystal dummy is non-keyed, so an entry opening needs a different lock. Keyed knob options include the Deltana 3381 egg knob entry and 6171 round knob entry, both for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob in Grade 3 with a round corner adjustable latch and strike, and the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway. For commercial entry duty, the BEST 8K Series entrance single cylinder knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty.

The Bristol crystal knob dummy is a residential brass knobset with no ANSI grade in its record, so a project spec calling for a graded cylindrical lock needs a different product. Graded knob locks include the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet, the Schlage D10S Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch, the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Sargent 6G04 Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

The Emtek Bristol crystal knob dummy pair is surface mounted with no door prep required and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Bored dummy alternatives carry their own ranges: the Schlage A170 single dummy trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington dummy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Because the Bristol mounts to the door face rather than through a cross bore, it is the option that avoids boring an unprepped door.

Two categories get mistaken for a dummy knobset. Exit device and lock trim such as the Sargent 28C-KNOB knob and rose trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only with B design, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 storeroom function knob trim are knobs meant to dress another device, not standalone door-face pairs. Combo and multi-pack knobsets such as the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob 6-pack with adjustable backset are latching or keyed sets bundled for whole-house use rather than non-latching dummies. The Emtek Bristol is a non-keyed dummy pair with no latch.

The Bristol is a glass and porcelain collection crystal knob in an American Classic theme, ordered with a Sandcast Bronze rosette in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, or Tumbled White Bronze. Where a plain metal knob suits better, options include the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob with 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, the Arrow MK01 and RK01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob locks for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knobset, and the Bravura Albany or Lynchburg round trim Grade 2 passage knobsets. Those are latching passage sets rather than dummies.
