Emtek 7108.PC.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Providence crystal knob fit my existing door prep?
If the door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, yes. The Providence passage knobset is a tubular lockset built for standard bored prep, with an adjustable latch that sets to either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep, and that 2-hole prep applies to thumbturn privacy.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Providence passage knob work on?
The spec sheet for the Providence passage set gives a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which covers standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older homes. The set description also references fit on doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch with standard bore prep, so for anything thicker than 1-3/4 inch, note the actual thickness in the Door Thickness field when you order.
3) Does a passage knob lock? What is the Providence passage set actually for?
It doesn't lock. Passage function means the knob turns freely from both sides to retract the latch, with no key and no thumbturn, so it's for halls, closets, and any door you only want latched shut. The Providence is non-keyed. If you need a door that locks from inside, such as a bath or bedroom, you want a privacy version instead.
4) What comes in the box with the Emtek Providence knobset, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a prepped door. You do pick the latch type when ordering, and the latch faceplate comes as round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in the door edge.
5) What backset do I order for the Providence knobset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. The standard latch supplied is for a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is typical on residential interior doors; if your bore centers at 2-3/4 inch, specify that backset on the order. Backset is a required selection, so it gets set before the set ships.
6) Is the Emtek Providence knob suitable for a commercial office or apartment corridor?
It's classified residential, glass and porcelain collection, with a brass body. There's no ANSI grade behind it, so for commercial corridors and anywhere subject to code-rated openings, go to a graded cylindrical passage lock instead. The Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob in the D Series. For medium duty, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is Grade 2 passage for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) I'm replacing a builder-grade knob like a Kwikset Polo. Will the Emtek Providence drop into the same holes?
In most cases yes, because both are tubular bored locksets on the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore and the Providence latch adjusts to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, the same two backsets those builder knobs use. What you should check is the latch face mortise, round corner or square corner, and order the matching faceplate so you don't have to re-chisel the door edge. Kwikset's 200P Polo passage knob ships with a round corner strike, so a round corner faceplate is the usual match there.
8) What is a comparable decorative passage knob to the Emtek Providence passage knobset?
The Emtek Providence passage knob is a non-keyed passage set in brass with a tubular latch, offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze. For a similarly decorative solid brass passage knob, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is another passage-function knob in the same decorative class. 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, which matches the standard backset the Providence ships with.
9) I need a passage knob with an ANSI grade for a commercial corridor - what should I use instead of the Emtek Providence?
The Emtek Providence passage knob is a residential set. For a graded commercial passage knob, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage latch with an Orbit knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob that covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. The Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core and a fire rating, covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
10) The Emtek Providence passage set does not lock - what do I order for a bedroom or bathroom door?
Passage function means the Providence knob latches but does not lock, so it is wrong for a bed or bath opening. Privacy-function knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim, and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob.
11) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches - which passage knob covers that instead of the Emtek Providence?
The Providence knobset specification lists door thickness of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. For thicker leaves, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
12) What is the CF mechanism on the Emtek Providence knob and should I choose it?
CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from both faces. It ships with the 28 degree rotation latch included. The other choices are a standard latch or the 28 degree rotation latch on its own. The 28 degree latch needs less knob rotation to retract, which is useful on doors people operate constantly. If you want conventional through-bolted trim with visible fasteners, take the standard latch option.
13) What finishes and rosette styles does the Emtek Providence crystal knob come in?
Three finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Rosette choices are #1, #2, #3, #4, and #6, and the set can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette. There's also a split finish field if you want the two sides of the door to differ, which matters when a hallway and a room are finished differently.
14) What is a lower-cost plain passage knob alternative to the Emtek Providence?
If the decorative glass knob is not required, straightforward passage knobsets include the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob, supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike; the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob lockset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage cylindrical ball knob, also 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob in the same thickness range.
15) I need a keyed entry knob to match - what takes the place of the Emtek Providence passage set on an exterior or office door?
The Providence passage knob is non-keyed, so it cannot secure an entry. Keyed options include the Kwikset 400P Polo entry knob with 6AL latch and RCS strike, the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with Kwikset keyway, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with conventional cylinder.
16) I need to outfit a whole floor of closet and hall doors - is there a multi-pack alternative to ordering Emtek Providence passage sets individually?
The Providence passage knob is sold as a complete single set with latch and strike plate, configured per door for backset, rosette and finish. For volume standardization on plain openings, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) What decorative brass passage knob should I look at if I do not want a glass knob?
The Emtek Providence is a glass and porcelain collection knob in the American Classic theme. For a solid-metal decorative alternative in passage function, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped solid brass knob latchset, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a traditional knob in passage/hall/closet function. The Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg round-trim Grade 2 passage knobsets are further passage-function options with round rose trim.
18) Can I match the Providence crystal knob on a closet door with a non-functioning dummy knob?
The Providence set covered here is passage function only, so for a fixed door leaf or a false-active door you need a dummy trim from elsewhere. Options we carry include the Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 single dummy knob latchsets in solid brass, the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy. None of those will match the crystal look, so if appearance has to match across the run, source the dummy from the same Emtek glass knob family.
