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

No prep needed. The Georgetown crystal dummy knob set is surface mount, so it screws onto the face of the door with no bore and no latch hole. That is what makes it the usual choice for a closet door, a French door leaf that is held by a ball catch or roller catch, or a fixed door in a pair where you just want matching hardware. If the door already has a 2-1/8 inch bore from an old lockset, a dummy will not cover it the way a bored lockset rose does, so plan on a different function or a filler there.

Neither. A dummy knob is fixed trim, so it does not rotate a latch and it does not lock. The Georgetown set is non-keyed with no cylinder and no privacy turn. If you need the door to actually latch, order a passage function instead; if you need a thumbturn for a bath or bedroom, order privacy.

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob is a residential brass and glass knob in dummy function, so it carries no latch and no ANSI grade for commercial traffic. For graded commercial openings, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knob lock, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset. Where a commercial dummy trim is what is wanted, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch.

The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob set is dummy function, meaning the knobs are fixed and do not retract a latch. For a working latch in the same traditional knob look, the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection in passage/hall/closet function. Other passage knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose and the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in passage function, a Grade 3 knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick - the same door thickness range the Georgetown covers.

No. The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob set is non-keyed dummy function with no locking mechanism. For a door that needs to be secured from the inside, privacy knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob, Grade 3, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick.

The Georgetown dummy ships as a complete two-knob set, one knob for each face of the door, with both rosettes and the fasteners. That is what you want on a French door or a double door where both sides are seen. If you only need one face, for example on a closet door that opens against a wall, a single dummy such as the Schlage A170 or the Omnia 434/0 is the item to order instead.

Three brass rosettes are offered with the Georgetown knob: Rope, Lancaster, and Ribbon and Reed. Any brass rosette in the range can be ordered with it, so a set can be matched to the trim style already running through the house.

Seven: Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and French Antique (US7). All seven are offered on each of the three rosettes. Unlacquered brass is the one to think about before ordering a whole floor: it has no coating and will darken with handling, while the Lifetime polished brass holds its color.

Match the look by ordering the same Georgetown crystal knob in a passage or privacy function rather than dummy, in the same finish and rosette. The dummy set has no latch at all, so it cannot be converted. Keep the finish code the same, for example US15 satin nickel across the run, and the doors will read as one set even though one is working hardware.

No. The Emtek Georgetown crystal knob set is non-keyed and has no cylinder. Keyed entry knobs include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob, Grade 3, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike; the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office Grade 3 knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for the same door thickness range; and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. A common approach is to use the keyed knob on the entry door and keep the Georgetown crystal knobs on the fixed interior doors.

Several knobs described as dummy or trim are not a two-sided decorative pair like the Georgetown crystal set. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function - both are trim for a device rather than a standalone knob for a fixed door. The Schlage A170 and the BEST 6K Series dummy trim are single dummy, covering one face. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Georgetown is surface mount and needs no door prep, while cylindrical trims of this kind mount to a bored door.

The Georgetown crystal knob is offered only in dummy function, for fixed doors such as a closet slab or one leaf of a French pair, in finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Polished Chrome US26 and Unlacquered Brass US3NL, on Rope, Lancaster and Ribbon & Reed rosettes. To carry one knob family through latching and locking doors instead, a full function line is the better route: the Dexter C2000 Series covers passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom on a Grade 2 ball knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Pamex FTF Baron line covers passage, privacy and entrance/office at Grade 3 over the same thickness range.

The Georgetown crystal knob is surface mount and requires no door prep, so there is no latch or strike involved. Sets that arrive with the latching hardware include the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob, which comes with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike; the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob passage lock, preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike; and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack, which includes adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch.

The Georgetown crystal knob is non-electronic and non-keyed dummy hardware. For a knob that controls access without a key, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function, covering doors 1 3/16 to 2 inch thick.

Split finish can be specified on the Georgetown crystal knob set when you order, using the optional split finish field. It is the way to run a dark rosette against lighter door hardware, or to match a rose to existing trim while keeping the knob consistent through the room.

The knob is from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, with brass as the base material and substrate for the rosette and mounting hardware. If you want an all-metal traditional dummy in the same vein, the Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 are solid brass egg and round knob dummies.
