Emtek Designer Brass Crystal Knobsets - Astoria Knob, Dummy (Pair)

A dummy knob is a pull only. The Astoria dummy does not turn, has no latch bolt, and has no lock or key, so the door has to be held shut by a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch. If you want the door to latch, order a passage function knob instead.

Yes. The Astoria dummy pair covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, which spans the common older interior slab at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4 door. Because it is surface mounted, the thickness only matters for the through-fastening.

The Astoria crystal knob dummy pair is a residential, non-keyed dummy trim with no latch, so it does not operate a door. For a commercial opening needing a graded latching knob, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 cylindrical knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and for an actively latching door the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 passage knob lock. The BEST 6K series single dummy trim is another Grade 2 dummy option.

The Astoria crystal knob set is dummy function, surface mounted with no door prep and no latch. If the opening needs to latch, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose or the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike are passage knobsets; for a bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose or the Baldwin 5000 Baltimore privacy knob are privacy function.

The pair covers both faces of one door, or one knob each on a set of double doors. It ships as a complete set, so you get both knobs and both rosettes. If you only need one side, a single dummy such as the Schlage A170 or the BEST 6K single dummy trim covers that.

Three rosette patterns are offered with the Astoria crystal knob: Rope, Lancaster, and Ribbon and Reed. All are brass, and any brass rosette in the line can be paired with the knob, so you can match rosettes already running on other doors in the house.

Seven finishes: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). Each is available with all three rosette styles. Unlacquered brass will patina over time; the lifetime polished brass will not.

It is a residential product. The Astoria is a brass and glass decorative knobset from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, not a graded commercial lockset. For commercial openings, look at Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical knobs such as the Schlage D10S Grade 1 passage or the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage.

The Astoria knob is offered across Emtek's tubular bored lockset range, so the same crystal knob and brass rosette can be ordered in passage and privacy function for the doors that need to latch or lock, with the dummy pair used only where a pull is enough. Keep the finish and rosette selection identical across the set so the openings read the same.

The Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob cylindrical lock from the Barrington BA series covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Emtek Astoria dummy set covers, and the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset is a Grade 2 dummy knob. Both are metal knobs rather than the glass knob on a brass rosette that the Astoria uses.

No. The Astoria crystal knob pair is dummy function - it mounts to the surface and does not retract a latch. Products such as the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob, the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob lock and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock all turn and retract a latch into a prepped door, so they are not drop-in replacements for a dummy knob and vice versa.

The Astoria dummy pair is glass on brass and can be ordered with any brass rosette. For keyed openings in the same brass-knob style, Deltana offers the 3381 Egg knob entry, the 6171 round knob entry and the 6901 Portland knob entry; the 3381 and 6171 cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and the 6901 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Deltana also lists the 6112 St. Thomas knob in privacy function.

The Astoria is sold as a complete pair of crystal knobs on brass rosettes, ordered one opening at a time. For volume standardizing, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack includes adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Yes, a split finish can be requested when ordering the Astoria dummy pair. There is an optional split finish field on the order along with a comments field, so you can call out which component gets which finish.
