Emtek 7208.BL.FB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What comes in the box with the Emtek Bristol privacy knobset, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a properly bored door. If you choose the CF Mechanism option, the 28 degree latch is included with it.
2) What is the difference between the Standard Latch, the 28 Degree Rotation Latch, and the CF Mechanism on the Emtek Bristol knob?
Three choices. The Standard Latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch reduces how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt, which suits a crystal knob you grip with fingertips. The CF Mechanism is the concealed-fastener build, so the rosettes have no exposed screws, and it comes with the 28 degree latch.
3) Is this Emtek crystal knob a bed and bath lock with a thumbturn, or does it take a key?
Privacy function, non-keyed. There is no cylinder and no keyway, so it locks from the inside only, which is what you want on a bedroom or bathroom door. It is a tubular bored lock, not a mortise.
4) What is a comparable privacy knob to the Emtek Bristol crystal knob for a bedroom or bath door?
The Emtek Bristol knob is a privacy/bed/bath function knobset in brass with a glass knob. Decorative privacy alternatives in the same function include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose privacy lock supplied with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. All three are privacy function like the Bristol, but use metal knobs rather than glass.
5) Which privacy knob should I use instead of the Emtek Bristol on a rental or high-traffic interior door?
The Emtek Bristol crystal knobset is a residential decorative set with a glass knob. Where you want a graded commercial privacy knob instead, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob is Grade 3 with brass trim over the same thickness range, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are the same bed/bath privacy function as the Bristol.
6) What do I order instead of the Emtek Bristol privacy knob for a door that needs a key?
The Bristol crystal knobset is non-keyed, so an exterior or lockable office door needs a keyed set instead. Options include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob, Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and strike, the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office Grade 3 knob with a Kwikset keyway, the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors up to 2 inch.
7) The Emtek Bristol tops out at 1-3/4 inch doors in its specifications - what privacy or entry knob covers a thicker door?
For thicker leaves, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and 6171 Round knob entry cover the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range. On the commercial side, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inch.
8) Can the Emtek Bristol privacy knob be used on a fire-rated door?
The Bristol is a residential glass and porcelain collection privacy knobset. Where a fire-rated opening is involved, choose a set carrying a fire rating, such as the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset or the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty knobset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch; both are listed as fire rated and are passage/closet function.
9) Can I match this Bristol crystal knob to the rosettes already on my other Emtek doors?
Yes. The Bristol knob can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette, and five rosette styles are offered here (#1, #2, #3, #4 and #6), in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze. If you need the knob in one finish and the rosette in another to match existing hardware, there is a split finish option you can call out on the order.
10) Does the latch faceplate come square or round cornered for my door edge mortise?
Both are available on the Bristol privacy set, round corner or square corner faceplate. Match it to the existing mortise in the door edge: a factory-prepped door usually has a radius pocket for a round corner plate, while a field-chiseled pocket is typically square.
11) I need the same knob on a closet door that does not need to lock - what pairs with the Emtek Bristol?
The Bristol crystal knobset is privacy function with a thumbturn, so it is not the right choice for a closet or hall door. Passage knobs that latch without locking include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob with 5048 rose on a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass, and the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob, Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) Is a dummy knob a substitute for the Emtek Bristol privacy set?
No. The Bristol crystal knobset is a complete privacy set including latch and strike plate, so the knob retracts a latch and locks with a thumbturn. Dummy trim such as the Schlage A170 single dummy, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, the Omnia 442/00 single dummy knob latchset with a 2-5/8 inch rose, or the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob is surface-mounted trim with no latch action, used on inactive or closet-pair doors. Order dummy trim only where the door is held by a separate catch or roller.
13) What is a simpler alternative to the Emtek Bristol crystal knob for standardizing a lot of interior doors?
The Bristol is configured per opening with a choice of rosette, latch style and finish, which suits a decorative package. For volume standardizing, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack comes with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200P-CP Polo passage knob includes a round corner adjustable latch and strike.
14) What is the Bristol knob actually made of, since it is a crystal design?
The lock body and trim are brass, both substrate and material, with a sandcast bronze rosette and the glass knob itself. That is why the finishes offered are living bronze finishes rather than plated ones: Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze.
