Emtek 7208.WS.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Windsor crystal privacy knob fit my existing 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Windsor privacy knobset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, and the included latch is set up for a 2-3/8 inch backset with a 2-3/4 inch option if your door is bored that way. One exception: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the door needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep for the thumbturn privacy, which is not the same hole pattern as a standard bore.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Windsor knob work on?
The stated fit is any door from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, with the specification table listing 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. If your door is thicker than standard, enter the actual thickness in the Door Thickness field when you order so the set is built with the right spindle length.
3) Does this Emtek privacy set come with a latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
It ships as a complete set including the latch and strike plate. You choose the latch type when ordering: Standard Latch, the 28 Degree Rotation Latch, or the CF Mechanism, which comes with the 28 degree latch included. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in your door edge.
4) Is this Emtek crystal knob suitable for a commercial corridor or apartment turnover at volume?
It is classified residential, brass, a glass and porcelain collection piece with a tubular lock chassis, so it suits homes, model units and boutique hospitality rather than high-traffic commercial doors. For a commercial privacy opening, a graded cylindrical lock is the better 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 backset do I specify for the Emtek Windsor knob on a standard interior door?
Most interior doors are bored at 2-3/8 inches, which is what the standard latch is supplied for. Specify the 2-3/4 inch backset only if the hole in your door is set further from the edge, which is common on heavier or commercial-prep doors. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you choose.
6) What is the closest decorative alternative to the Emtek Windsor privacy knob for a bedroom or bath door?
The Emtek Windsor knob is a privacy/bed/bath function knobset in brass with a glass knob. Two decorative privacy knobs in the same function are the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy, which covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. Both are metal knobs rather than glass, so the look differs while the bed/bath function matches.
7) Is there a graded commercial privacy knob to use instead of the Emtek Windsor on a high-traffic bathroom?
The Emtek Windsor privacy knobset is classified for residential use. Where a graded product is required, the Dexter C2000 privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, non-clutching and non-keyed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob lock with brass trim is Grade 3 over the same door thickness range. The Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function is also Grade 3, 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
8) Which knob works instead of the Emtek Windsor on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
For thicker doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note those are passage and entry functions rather than a bed/bath privacy set.
9) I need a keyed knob for an exterior or office door, not the Emtek Windsor privacy set. What are the options?
The Windsor knobset is non-keyed with a privacy function, so it is not for an exterior opening. Keyed alternatives include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob in Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office Grade 3 knob lock with a Kwikset keyway, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office ball knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder.
10) What is the CF Mechanism option on the Emtek Windsor knobset and should I pick it?
CF stands for a concealed fastener build: the rosettes have no exposed screws, so you see a clean rose on both faces instead of two visible screw heads. It includes the 28 degree latch. Pick it where the hardware is on display and screw heads would show; pick the Standard Latch if you would rather keep the conventional through-screw rosette.
11) Which rosettes and finishes can I get with the Windsor crystal knob?
Rosette choices are #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). If you want the knob and rose in two different finishes, there is a split finish field to note that on the order.
12) I need matching passage knobs for the closet and hall doors next to the bedroom. Can I match this Windsor set?
The Windsor crystal knob is offered in passage as well as privacy, so you can keep the same knob, rosette number and finish across the bedroom and the hall or closet doors and only the function changes. Emtek publishes the passage and privacy knobset dimensions and door thickness data in one technical sheet, so the prep is the same across both.
13) Can a dummy knob be substituted for the Emtek Windsor privacy knob?
No. The Windsor privacy set is a functioning latching lockset with a bed/bath privacy function, supplied with latch and strike plate. Dummy trims such as the Schlage A170 single dummy, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, and the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset are surface-mounted pulls with no latch, used on inactive or closet doors only.
14) What should I use on a hall or closet door where the Emtek Windsor privacy set is not needed?
The Windsor privacy set has a bed/bath locking function, so for an unlocked hall or closet door a passage knob is the correct choice. Options include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass, the Pamex FTF Baron passage knobset in Grade 3, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob supplied with a 6AL latch and round corner strike.
15) Can I standardize a whole building on the Emtek Windsor privacy knob?
The Windsor crystal knobset is a residential decorative knob offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze with a choice of rosette, which suits units and designer interiors. For a facility standard across many openings, cylindrical lines that carry multiple functions in one series are usually specified instead: the Dexter C2000 Series covers passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom in Grade 2, and the Sargent 8X Line 8XG04 storeroom knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
16) Is there a fire-rated knob lock to use where the Emtek Windsor is not suitable?
Two fire-rated cylindrical knob locks are the Falcon W101 Grade 2 medium duty passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are passage function, so a bed/bath lock would need to be specified separately for that opening.
17) What is a preconfigured privacy knob alternative if I do not want to choose rosette and latch options for the Emtek Windsor?
The Windsor privacy set is ordered by selecting finish, rosette and latch type, including a CF mechanism option with no exposed rosette screws. If a single preconfigured part number is preferred, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose ships as a privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, 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.
