Emtek 7208.GT.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Georgetown privacy knob fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Georgetown crystal knob privacy set drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the included latch is set up for a 2-3/8 inch backset with 2-3/4 inch available if your existing prep is bored deeper. One exception: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, that version needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep for the thumbturn, which is not standard residential prep.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Georgetown knobset work with?
The published specification range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the set is noted as fitting doors from 1-3/8 up to 2-1/4 inches thick with standard bore prep. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, use the Door Thickness field when you order and state the actual measurement so the correct spindle and screw length go out with the set.
3) Is the Emtek Georgetown privacy set keyed, and how does it lock?
Non-keyed. It is a privacy (bed and bath) function tubular lock, so it locks from the inside only with a turn button or thumbturn and there is no cylinder or key. For a bedroom or bathroom that is what you want. If you need a key on the outside for an office or exterior door, this is the wrong function.
4) Is this crystal knob suitable for a commercial corridor or apartment turnover?
The Georgetown crystal knobset is classified as residential, brass construction with a glass knob, part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection. It is a decorative interior privacy set, not a graded commercial lock. For a commercial bath or high traffic multi-family opening, a graded cylindrical privacy lock is the right call, for example the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob, both listed for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) What is a decorative alternative to the Emtek Georgetown crystal privacy knob for a bedroom or bath door?
Two other decorative privacy knobs cover the same bed and bath function. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is a privacy/bed/bath knobset, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek Georgetown privacy set is a brass knobset in the Glass and Porcelain collection with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so the Baldwin and Deltana options change the knob material and rose styling rather than the door function.
6) If I need a privacy knob with an ANSI grade for a commercial project, what should I use instead of the Emtek Georgetown?
The Emtek Georgetown crystal privacy knobset is designated a residential product. For a graded privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob lock is Grade 2 and non-keyed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob lock is Grade 3 with brass trim over the same door thickness range, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob lockset is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three hold the bed and bath privacy function.
7) I ordered the Emtek Georgetown privacy knob but this door is a hall closet that does not need to lock. What do I order?
Use a passage knobset for a non-locking door. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose is a preconfigured passage lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is a passage/hall/closet set in solid brass, and the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob lockset is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Georgetown set is a privacy bed and bath function, so it carries a thumbturn the passage sets do not.
8) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three choices. The standard latch is the conventional rotation. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch shortens how far the knob has to turn to retract the latch, which suits glass and porcelain knobs where a full turn is awkward. The CF mechanism gives rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. Pick CF if the look of the rose matters on the finished door.
9) Which rosettes and finishes can I get the Georgetown crystal knob in?
Five rosette styles are offered, #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, and it can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette. Finishes are Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). A split finish is also available if you want the knob and rose in different finishes, which is handy when you are matching an existing room on one side of the door.
10) What other decorative privacy knobs compare to the Emtek Georgetown if I want a solid metal knob instead of crystal?
Two close decorative alternatives in the same privacy function: the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. Baldwin also offers a preconfigured Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob set with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike if you want a single part number rather than choosing rose and latch options.
11) My existing latch has a square corner faceplate. Can I match it?
Yes. The latch faceplate is offered in round corner or square corner, so you can match the mortise already cut into the door edge and avoid rechiseling. Confirm the backset of the existing bore as well, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, since backset is a required selection on the order.
12) Will the Emtek Georgetown crystal privacy knob work on a door that needs a key?
No. The Emtek Georgetown crystal knobset is non-keyed with a privacy bed and bath function. For a keyed opening, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob lock is Grade 3 with a Kwikset keyway, and the Dexter C2000 Series entry/office ball knob lock is Grade 2 and keyed.
13) Which knob sets look similar to the Emtek Georgetown privacy set but do not actually latch?
Dummy trim is the common mix-up. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy lockset, the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset and the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset are all dummy function, meaning a fixed knob with no latch or privacy mechanism. The Emtek Georgetown privacy set is sold complete with latch and strike plate and a privacy bed and bath function.
14) I need a privacy knob for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch. Is there an option beyond the Emtek Georgetown range?
The Emtek Georgetown crystal privacy set lists a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch in its specifications. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, which reaches further on thick doors while keeping the privacy bed and bath function.
15) Is there a Grade 1 knob lock alternative if the Emtek Georgetown privacy set is too light for the traffic?
For heavy traffic, the Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob lock with an Orbit knob, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Those are passage and storeroom functions rather than the privacy bed and bath function of the Emtek Georgetown.
16) Can I use the Georgetown knob on closet and hall doors too, or do I need a different set?
This one is privacy function only, meaning it has an inside locking button. For a closet, hall or pantry door you want a passage set with no locking at all, same Georgetown knob in a passage version. Ordering privacy for a closet leaves you with a lock that can be turned by a child from inside the closet.
