Emtek Crystal Knobsets - Georgetown Knob, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep is needed. The Georgetown crystal dummy knob is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door rather than dropping into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. That is what makes it the usual choice for a closet door, a pantry door, or one leaf of a double door that stays fixed.

You get two knobs, one for each face of the door, and neither one turns or latches anything. A dummy is pull hardware only, non-keyed with no latch. Use the pair where you want matching knobs inside and out on a door that does not latch; if the door needs to stay shut or lock, you want a passage or privacy knobset instead.

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

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob dummy pair is a non-keyed dummy set in brass, catalogued for residential use. For a commercial-grade dummy knob, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty single dummy trim in the A Series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick, and the BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. Both are single dummy trims, so a pair of doors needs two, where the Emtek Georgetown is sold as a complete pair set.

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob pair is a dummy function set, surface mounted with no door prep, so it has no latch and does not operate. For a knob that actually latches the door, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped passage latchset in solid brass, or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick all provide a working latch.

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob pair is catalogued for residential use and is a non-keyed dummy set, so it neither latches nor locks. For institutional corridor and classroom openings, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Dexter C2000 classroom knob lock is Grade 2 keyed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating for doors up to 2-1/4 inch thick.

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob pair is a non-keyed dummy set with no locking mechanism, so it will not secure a bedroom or bath. Privacy-function knobs for those openings include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Baldwin 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose on a 2-3/8 inch backset with full lip strike, the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim, and the Pamex FTF10 Grade 3 Baron privacy knob lockset.

Rosette choices are #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, and each is offered in Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Emtek also allows any Sandcast Bronze rosette with this knob. Pick the rosette that matches the other openings in the room, since the crystal knob itself is the constant.

The dummy has no latch or bore prep at all, so it cannot hold a door closed. For a latching or locking opening you need a tubular passage or privacy version of the knobset, which does require a bored door prep. Emtek publishes the dimensions and door thickness data for its passage and privacy knobsets and leversets in its technical specification sheet.

Two groups get mistaken for it. Exit device and lock trim such as the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only with B design, the Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim with knob and rose, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 knob trim with storeroom function are trim for another device, not a standalone pair for a non-operating door. Separately, functioning knobsets like the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob, which ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, require door prep for a latch, while the Emtek Georgetown pair is surface mounted with no door prep required.

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob dummy pair fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. Peers covering the same range include the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA series, the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage knob lock, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet knob lock, and the Pamex FTF30 Grade 3 passage knob lockset. For thicker doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock and the Deltana 6171 round knob entry both go to 2 inch.

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob dummy is sold as a complete pair set, one opening at a time, with rosette and finish selected per set. For volume standardization across a building, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.

Yes, a split finish can be requested at order time using the optional split finish field, which is how you handle a door where the hall side has to match one scheme and the room side another.

Glass knob on brass hardware. It sits in Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, with a brass substrate behind the crystal, so you are getting solid metal at the rosette and spindle rather than plated zinc.
