Emtek 8207.AS.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Astoria crystal privacy knob fit my existing door prep?
If the door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, yes. The Astoria privacy knobset drops into standard bored prep and the latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it covers both common residential backsets. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy, so it is not a standard-prep swap.
2) What door thickness does the Emtek Astoria knobset work on?
The Astoria set is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors in its specifications, and Emtek notes the set fits doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick with standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep. There is a Door Thickness field on the order form, so if your door is thicker than a standard 1-3/4 inch slab, state the actual thickness when you order so the correct spindle and screw length come with it.
3) Is this a keyed lock or just a bathroom privacy lock?
Privacy only, non-keyed. The Astoria crystal knobset is a tubular bed and bath function: it locks from the inside with a turn and has no cylinder or key. For a bedroom or bathroom door that is what you want. If you need a keyed exterior or office door, this is the wrong function.
4) What is the difference between the Standard Latch, the 28 Degree Latch, and the CF Mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three choices. Standard Latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch reduces how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt, which many people prefer on a glass knob. The CF Mechanism is the concealed-fastener version, so the rosettes show no exposed screws, and it includes the 28 degree latch. Pick CF if the clean rosette face matters visually; pick standard if it does not.
5) Do I have to order the 2-3/4 inch backset separately for the Astoria knobset?
No separate part. Backset is a required selection when you order, either 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch supplied is for the 2-3/8 inch backset, so if your bore is set 2-3/4 inches back from the door edge, say so on the order and the correct latch is what ships. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you choose.
6) Can the Emtek Astoria privacy knob be used on a commercial office or classroom door?
The Astoria crystal knob privacy set is a residential knobset with a tubular lock, so for graded commercial openings look elsewhere. The Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob lock, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical knob lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a classroom opening the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 classroom keyed ball knob is the match.
7) What is the closest decorative privacy knob to the Emtek Astoria crystal knob from another brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is the nearest decorative-line equivalent, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy set is another, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek Astoria is a glass and porcelain collection knob on a brass rosette, sold with latch and strike, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch bore. The Baldwin and Deltana sets are metal knobs rather than crystal, so if the glass knob is the design driver the Astoria is the one that holds it.
8) What looks like a substitute for the Astoria privacy knobset but will not lock the door?
Dummy and passage knobs are the common mix-up. The BEST 6K single dummy trim, Schlage A170 single dummy trim, Omnia 458/0 single dummy latchset and Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset have no latch action or privacy lock at all, and passage sets such as the Pamex FTF Baron passage, Dexter C2000 passage ball knob and Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage latch but never lock. The Emtek Astoria is a privacy bed and bath set with a thumbturn, so only another privacy function will replace it.
9) My door is 2 inches thick - will the Emtek Astoria privacy knob work, or do I need something else?
The Astoria crystal privacy knobset fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore, so a 2 inch door is inside its range. If you are comparing, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, while Grade 2 and Grade 3 knobs such as the Dexter C2000 privacy and Pamex FTF Baron privacy stop at 1-3/4 inch. For thicker commercial doors the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset runs to 2-1/4 inch, though it is passage rather than privacy.
10) What comes in the box with the Emtek Astoria privacy knob set?
It ships as a complete set: both crystal knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed for a door already bored to 2-1/8 inch. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so it can match the existing mortise in the door edge.
11) Which rosettes and finishes can I get the Astoria crystal knob in?
Three brass rosette styles are offered on the Astoria: Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope. Finishes run French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, the Lifetime polished brass will not. There is also a split finish field if you want different finishes on the two faces of the door.
12) What are decorative alternatives to the Emtek Astoria crystal privacy knob if I want a solid metal knob instead of glass?
Staying in the decorative residential range, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy set with 5148 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset are both privacy function. Deltana's 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy is another, and it is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which is a wider thickness range than the Astoria's stated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. All three give you a metal knob rather than the Astoria's crystal.
13) I need a cheaper privacy knob for rental turnover, not a crystal one. What should I look at?
For turnover work the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim and the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 privacy knobset are both privacy function and both listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same range the Astoria specs give. The Emtek Astoria is a brass and glass designer set meant for finished interiors where the knob is part of the decor, not a fleet standard.
14) Can I mix the Astoria crystal knob with other Emtek rosette styles to match the rest of my doors?
Yes. The Astoria knob can be ordered with any Emtek brass rosette, so you can carry a single rosette pattern across an entire floor while varying knob or lever styles door to door. Note that the one rosette with a different door prep is STRETTO, which needs a 1-1/4 inch bore and 2-hole preparation for the thumbturn privacy rather than the standard 2-1/8 inch bore.
15) I need a privacy knob for a bedroom but do not need a crystal knob - what is a plainer option?
For a plain metal privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 privacy cylindrical ball knob covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 privacy knob lockset covers the same thickness range. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three give the same bed and bath privacy function as the Emtek Astoria without the glass knob and brass rosette styling.
16) I want to match the Astoria privacy knob on a bedroom with a keyed entry knob on the same hall - what pairs with it?
The Astoria crystal knobset is a non-keyed privacy set, so a keyed opening needs a separate entry knob. Solid brass decorative options include the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and the Deltana 6171 Round knob entry for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a simpler entry knob, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway if you want one key to cover both.
17) I am outfitting a whole house and need matching knobs on many doors - is the Astoria the efficient choice?
The Astoria crystal knob privacy set is ordered per opening, with the finish, rosette pattern and latch chosen individually, which suits a design-led package where each door is specified. If you want volume-packed identical knobs instead, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob ships 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. Those trade the crystal knob and brass rosette styling for a single repeated hardware set.
