Emtek 7208.PC.FB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Providence crystal knob privacy set fit a standard pre-drilled interior door?
Yes, for standard tubular prep. The Providence privacy knobset is a tubular lock built for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into ordinary bored-door prep. The one exception is the STRETTO rosette, which needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn.
2) Which backset do I order for an Emtek Providence privacy knob, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
Backset is a required selection on the Providence privacy set. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore: residential doors are usually 2-3/8 inches, and 2-3/4 inches shows up on heavier or commercial-style doors. The standard latch supplied is the 2-3/8 inch version, so 2-3/4 has to be specified when you order.
3) What does the privacy function on this Emtek knobset actually do, and is there a key?
It is a bed and bath privacy lock, not keyed. There is no cylinder and no keyway anywhere in the set. You lock it from the inside (thumbturn or button depending on the rosette chosen) and it is released from the outside by the emergency tool, which is the normal arrangement for bedroom and bathroom doors. If you need a door that locks with a key, this is the wrong function.
4) Do I need to buy a latch and strike plate separately for the Emtek Providence knob set?
No. The Providence privacy knobset ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. You choose the latch faceplate style, round corner or square corner, to match the mortise already cut in your door edge.
5) Is this Emtek glass knob suitable for a commercial building or an apartment turn?
The Providence crystal knob is a residential-duty product. It is brass with a glass knob, from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, and carries no commercial grade. For a rental unit bathroom in a high-traffic building or any commercial opening, a graded cylindrical privacy lock is the better call, such as the Grade 2 Dexter C2000 privacy knob or the Grade 3 Cal-Royal BER20. Keep the Emtek for owner-occupied and high-design interiors.
6) What is the closest decorative privacy knob to the Emtek Providence crystal knob if I want a different look?
The Emtek Providence privacy knob is a residential brass knobset in the Glass and Porcelain collection with a privacy/bed/bath function. If you want the same privacy function in a decorative brass knob with a different look, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob are both privacy/bed/bath knobsets; the Deltana 6112 fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose is a preconfigured privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, which removes the backset and rose selection the Providence requires.
7) I need a graded privacy knob for a commercial bathroom door instead of the Emtek Providence. What should I use?
The Emtek Providence crystal privacy knobset is specified for residential use. For a commercial bath or bedroom door where a BHMA grade is called out, 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 with brass trim is Grade 3 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 are the same bed/bath privacy function as the Providence, in a plain metal knob rather than a crystal one.
8) My door is 2 inches thick. Which knob lock should I use if the Emtek Providence does not fit?
The Emtek Providence crystal knobset is rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. If the door is thicker, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with conventional cylinder covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inch. On the decorative side, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and keeps the bed/bath privacy function.
9) Can I use the Emtek Providence knob on a fire-rated door?
The Emtek Providence crystal knobset is specified as a residential privacy/bed/bath knob. Where the opening is fire rated and the hardware has to carry a fire listing, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty knobset are both fire rated, in passage/closet function. Both are cylindrical knob locks like the Providence but built for commercial openings.
10) What is the difference between the 28 Degree latch and the CF Mechanism option on Emtek knobsets?
The Standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation latch retracts with a shorter turn of the knob, which suits the glass knobs where a long rotation feels awkward. The CF Mechanism is the one to pick if you do not want fasteners showing: the rosettes have no exposed screws, and the 28 Degree latch is included with it. All three are selectable on the Providence privacy set.
11) Which rosettes and finishes can I get the Emtek Providence crystal knob in?
Rosette choices are #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, and the knob can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette. Finishes are Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). There is also a split finish field on the order if you want the interior and exterior sides different, which is common when a bathroom is finished differently from the hallway.
12) The door does not need to lock. What is the passage equivalent to the Emtek Providence privacy knob?
The Providence crystal knob is a privacy/bed/bath set with a thumbturn, so it is not right for a hall or closet door. For a non-locking knob on the same kind of interior door, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose is a passage lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a passage/hall/closet function, and the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is a solid brass passage set with a 3 inch projection. For a graded passage knob, the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) I am outfitting a whole house and want a simpler option than the Emtek Providence crystal knob. What is easier to order in quantity?
The Providence is configured per opening by finish, rosette number, and latch type, which suits a design-driven job. For volume interior work with fewer choices, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob comes as a 6-pack with adjustable backset. The Kwikset 200P-CP Polo passage knob also ships with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike, so backset is set at install rather than at order.
14) What is the difference between the Emtek Providence knob and a Grade 1 cylindrical knob lock like the Schlage D Series?
The Providence is a tubular brass knobset in a residential privacy/bed/bath function, with the crystal knob and a choice of sandcast bronze rosettes. The Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob lock with an Orbit knob in passage function, and the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance-function knob lock. Those are cylindrical chassis locks built for high-traffic commercial openings and offer a plain metal knob rather than glass.
15) Is there a keyless combination knob I can use in place of the Emtek Providence privacy set on a shared bathroom?
The Providence crystal knob locks with a thumbturn and is non-keyed. If you need code-controlled access instead of a simple privacy turn, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function that fits doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick. It is a mechanical pushbutton unit rather than a decorative glass knob, so it suits utility and staff doors rather than finished interior rooms.
16) I need a knob that locks with a key from the outside and stays locked, not a privacy knob like the Emtek Providence. What is the right function?
The Providence crystal knob is a privacy/bed/bath set, which unlocks from the inside turn and is not intended to secure a room. For a door that must stay secured and be opened by key, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a classroom function, the Dexter C2000 Series classroom ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) Can I match Emtek Providence knobs across a whole house if some doors are bedrooms and some are just hall doors?
Yes, the Providence knob is made in matching functions, and the privacy version is the one for bedrooms and baths. Order the same rosette number and the same finish (FB, MB or TWB) across the house so every opening reads the same, then vary only the function door by door. Keep the latch choice consistent too, since the 28 Degree latch and the standard latch feel different in the hand.
