Emtek 8107.BL.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek Bristol crystal knob passage set fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Bristol crystal knobset mounts to a standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. One exception to know about: the STRETTO rosette calls for a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for thumbturn privacy, so it is not a drop-in to the same prep as the other roses.
2) What backset do I order for the Emtek Bristol passage knob, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Both are offered, and backset is a required choice at order time. The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the usual residential interior dimension; specify 2-3/4 inch if your existing bore is set back further from the edge. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore to confirm which one your doors use.
3) Does a passage knob lock? What is the Bristol passage set actually for?
It does not lock. Passage function means the knob turns the latch from both sides at all times, with no key and no thumbturn, so it is for halls, closets, and pantry doors. Emtek lists it as non-keyed. If you need the door to secure for a bedroom or bath, you want the privacy version with a thumbturn instead, not this one.
4) What comes in the box with the Emtek Bristol crystal knobset, or do I need to buy a latch and strike separately?
It is sold as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. The latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge. Nothing else is required for a standard bored prep.
5) Is this a tubular lock, and will it drop into the hole left by a builder-grade knob?
Yes, it is a tubular bored lockset, the same family as a standard builder knob like a Kwikset Polo passage. If your existing knob sits in a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, the Bristol replaces it using the same holes. Check the latch faceplate corners, round or square, so the new latch seats in the existing edge mortise.
6) I need a passage knob for a commercial corridor instead of a decorative crystal knob - what should I use?
For commercial traffic, look at graded cylindrical passage knob locks. The Schlage D10S passage latch is Grade 1 heavy duty with an Orbit knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage/closet lock with a Global knob covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The Falcon X101 is Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty fire rated passage/closet function with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Emtek Bristol crystal passage knobset is designated residential.
7) What is a comparable decorative passage knob to the Emtek Bristol crystal passage knobset?
The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a comparable decorative passage knob, as is the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob passage lock with 5048 rose, which comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. The Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is another solid brass passage option. The Emtek Bristol differs in that it is a glass and porcelain collection knob in brass and can be ordered with the Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope rosette.
8) The door needs to lock for a bathroom - what takes the place of the Emtek Bristol passage knob?
A passage set has no locking mechanism, so for a bath or bedroom you need a privacy function knob. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy lock with 5148 rose are decorative options; the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. On the graded side, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob lock is Grade 3 with brass trim. The Emtek Bristol is non-keyed passage function.
9) The opening needs a key - what keyed knob should I order instead of the Emtek Bristol passage set?
Keyed knob locks are a separate function. The Deltana 3381 Egg knob and 6171 Round knob are entry function for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron in entrance/office function is Grade 3. For heavier openings the BEST 8K entrance function single cylinder knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty and the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom/closet knob lock is Grade 1 with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Emtek Bristol crystal knobset is non-keyed.
10) Which passage knobs handle doors thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset is rated 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 non-keyed passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches. The Emtek Bristol passage knobset fits any door between 1-3/8 and 2-1/4 inches thick with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep, and the Door Thickness field is there to specify at order.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek knobsets and should I pick it?
CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean on both faces of the door. Choosing CF also brings the 28 Degree latch with it. If you do not care about visible screws, the Standard Latch or the 28 Degree Rotation Latch on its own are the other two choices. On a decorative crystal knob in a finished living space, CF is what most people specify.
12) Which rosettes can I get with the Bristol crystal knob?
Three rose patterns are offered with the Bristol knob: Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope. All of them are brass, and the knob can be ordered with any brass rosette, so you can carry one rose style across an entire floor of doors while mixing knob and lever styles room to room.
13) What finishes does the Emtek Bristol passage knob come in for matching existing hardware?
Seven finishes: 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 others hold their appearance. There is also a split finish option if you need one face of the door to differ from the other, common where a hallway finish meets a room finish.
14) I need the same crystal knob on a bedroom door. Can I use this passage set there?
Not as it stands. The Bristol passage set has no locking function at all. Emtek builds the same Bristol crystal knob in a privacy version with a thumbturn for bedrooms and baths, which is what belongs on that opening. Keep the same rose and finish across both and the doors will still match.
15) What is a lower-cost alternative to the Emtek Bristol passage knobset for closet and hall doors?
Plain-finish passage knobsets cover the same function at a simpler build: the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in passage function is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 non-keyed for the same door range, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg round trim passage knobsets are Grade 2. The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike. All are passage/hall/closet function like the Emtek Bristol passage set.
16) I need to outfit several interior doors at once - is there a multi-pack alternative to the Emtek Bristol knobset?
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. The Emtek Bristol crystal passage knobset is sold as a complete single set including latch and strike plate, with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset selected at order.
17) Is the Emtek Bristol knobset an ANSI grade-rated lock like the Arrow MK01?
The Arrow MK01 and RK01 passage cylindrical knob locks are Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 non-keyed passage lock is Grade 2 for the same door range. The Emtek Bristol is a residential tubular passage knobset in brass from the glass and porcelain collection, specified by finish, rosette, and latch style rather than by duty grade - so for a project drawing calling out an ANSI grade, the graded cylindrical locks are the match.
18) What is a keyless combination knob option if I do not want to hand out keys?
The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function, fitting doors from 1 3/16 to 2 inches. The Emtek Bristol passage knobset is a non-electronic, non-keyed passage set with no code entry, so the Lockey is the alternative when access needs to be controlled without keys.
