Emtek Crystal Knobsets - Hampton Knob, Dummy (Pair)

Yes, and that's the point of a dummy set. The Hampton crystal knob dummy is surface mounted, so no door prep or bore is required. The knobs screw to the face of the door and don't turn or latch. If your door already has a 2-1/8 inch cross bore from an old lockset, a dummy will not fill it, you'd want a functioning passage or privacy set instead.

Two. This is the dummy pair, sold as a complete set with a knob and rosette for each face of the door. Use it on double doors where each leaf needs a pull, or on a single door you want gripped from both sides. If you only need one face, such as a closet door or the inactive leaf of a French pair, a single dummy is the part to look for, like the Omnia 434/0 or the Schlage A170 single dummy trim.

No. The Hampton dummy set has no latch, no spindle, and no cylinder, it is trim only. Nothing turns and nothing catches the frame, so the door needs a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch to stay closed. If you need the door to latch, buy a passage set; if you need it to lock from inside a bed or bath, buy a privacy set.

Emtek classifies the Hampton crystal knob as residential. It's a decorative glass knob on a brass base, right for a home, a model unit, or a hospitality interior. For a corridor, classroom, or anything taking real traffic, go to a graded cylindrical lock: the Schlage D10S is Grade 1 heavy duty passage, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 passage/closet.

The Emtek Hampton crystal knob is a dummy set in brass, so the function equivalent from a commercial line is the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob in the A Series with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch door thickness range. The difference is coverage: the A170 is single dummy trim for one face, while the Hampton is supplied as a pair for both faces of a double door or a false-front closet pair. Where a matched pair on both sides is the point, the Hampton covers it in one order; where only one face needs a pull, the A170 is the single-side answer.

A dummy knob does not retract a latch, so if the door has to latch you need a passage or privacy function instead. On the residential side, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose covers hall and closet doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob covers the same function with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. For a bed or bath door that needs a thumbturn, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 privacy knob is the same trim in privacy function. Keep the dummy for the fixed leaf of a pair or a door that is held by a ball catch or roller catch.

No. Both are non-keyed, but a passage knob turns and retracts a latch while a dummy knob is fixed. The Arrow MK01 and Arrow RK01 are Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage and closet cylindrical lock over the same thickness range - each of those operates a latch. The Emtek Hampton is dummy function and surface mounts with no door prep, so it is the choice only when nothing has to latch.

The Emtek Hampton crystal knob is a residential dummy set. For an opening that carries traffic or code duty, the graded commercial options are different parts: the Falcon X101 is a heavy duty Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage and closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a fire rating; and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom and closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Keep the Hampton for interior residential leaves and specify one of those where the door is rated or high traffic.

They share a door thickness range. The Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Emtek Hampton crystal dummy covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch as well. The difference is prep and appearance: the Hampton is surface mount with no door prep and comes as a brass crystal knob pair with a choice of sandcast bronze rosette, while the BA40 is a cylindrical dummy in the Barrington design. On a door already bored for a cylindrical knob, the BA40 sits in the existing prep; on an unbored door, the Hampton mounts without cutting.

Yes. The Hampton knob is offered on four Sandcast Bronze rosettes, the #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, in three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Every rosette is available in all three finishes. Emtek also allows a split finish if you want the knob and rosette in different tones, which is entered as a note on the order.

The Hampton crystal knob is one design in Emtek's tubular bored lockset line, so the same knob and Sandcast Bronze rosette combinations run across the other functions in the family. Order the dummy pair for the doors that don't need to latch and the matching passage or privacy versions for the ones that do, specifying the same rosette number and finish on each so the whole run reads identically.

Function is the same, both are dummy trim. The difference is construction and duty: the Hampton is a residential glass knob on brass with sandcast bronze rosettes, while the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset is a Grade 2 product. If the door is in a home or a finished interior where the look carries the decision, the crystal knob fits; if you want a graded knob, the Biloxi or the Grade 2 BEST 6K single dummy trim are the ones to price.

Two graded dummies sit alongside the Emtek Hampton crystal knob: the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical knob, and the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset is Grade 2 in the Biloxi series. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 heavy duty in the A Series. All three are single dummy trim for one face; the Hampton is a brass crystal knob sold as a complete pair set.

The Emtek Hampton crystal dummy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry, Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob each cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 non-keyed passage and closet knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummies, so match the function to what the opening actually needs.

The Hampton crystal knob is a non-keyed dummy, so the rest of the doors in the unit need latching functions from a single family to keep the look consistent. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is offered preconfigured as a passage lock with 5048 rose and as a privacy lock with 5148 rose, both with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, which covers hall and bath doors from one series. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the Hampton on the closet or double-door leaf that does not latch and one of those families for the rest.

No, those solve different problems. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design in the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function from the ED-500 Series - each of those is outside trim that works with an exit device on the opening. The Emtek Hampton crystal knob is a standalone brass dummy pair that surface mounts with no door prep and drives nothing.

The knob is glass, from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, mounted on brass. The rosettes are Sandcast Bronze. If you want an all-metal knob in the same traditional look instead, the Omnia 442/00 and Omnia 458/0 are solid brass single dummy knobs.
