Emtek 8207.GT.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Georgetown privacy knob fit a standard pre-drilled interior door?
Yes, if the door has the usual 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The Georgetown crystal knob privacy set works on doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick with that standard prep, and the included latch is set up for a 2-3/8 inch backset with 2-3/4 inch available if your bore is further from the edge. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch bore and a two-hole prep for the thumbturn, so it is not a drop-in on standard prep.
2) What comes in the box with the Emtek Georgetown privacy knobset?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Privacy function means a thumbturn inside and an emergency release outside, no key and no cylinder to order. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner to match your existing door mortise.
3) Which backset should I order for the Georgetown privacy knob?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore. 2-3/8 inches is the common residential dimension and the standard latch supplied; if yours measures 2-3/4 inches, specify that backset when ordering. Both are selectable and it is a required choice on the order.
4) Is this Emtek crystal knob suitable for a commercial building or an apartment turn?
The Georgetown crystal knobset is a residential-duty tubular lockset, glass knob on brass trim. For commercial corridors, schools, or high-traffic multifamily common areas you want a graded cylindrical lock instead, such as the Grade 2 Dexter C2000 privacy knob or the Grade 1 Schlage D Series. Use the Georgetown where appearance matters and traffic is light, like bedrooms and baths in a home or a boutique hotel guest room.
5) Can I use the Georgetown privacy set on a front entry door?
No. This is a privacy function set, locked by thumbturn from inside with no key, so it gives no exterior security. Put it on bedrooms and bathrooms. For an entry opening choose a keyed set such as the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob or a Grade 2 keyed cylindrical like the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance lock.
6) What is the closest decorative privacy knob alternative to the Emtek Georgetown crystal knob if a different look is wanted?
The Emtek Georgetown is a brass privacy/bed/bath knobset in a glass and porcelain design. For the same bed/bath function in another decorative brass line, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob are both privacy/bed/bath knobs; the Deltana 6112 covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose is also a privacy lock, preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, while the Georgetown lets you choose 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and pick the rosette.
7) What is a lower-cost privacy knob for a bedroom or bathroom if a decorative crystal knob is not needed?
The Emtek Georgetown is a brass crystal privacy knobset. Where a plainer graded privacy knob will do, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob lockset is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim for the same door range, and the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2, non-clutching and non-keyed, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All three are the same bed/bath function as the Georgetown, in cylindrical utility styling rather than a glass knob.
8) The Georgetown privacy knob is residential - what should be used on a commercial opening instead?
The Emtek Georgetown knobset is a residential tubular lockset. For commercial openings, graded cylindrical knob locks are the substitution: the Schlage D10S passage latch is Grade 1 heavy duty, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with a fire rating and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Note these are passage and storeroom functions, not bed/bath privacy.
9) Which knobsets look like substitutes for the Emtek Georgetown privacy set but will not lock a bathroom door?
The Emtek Georgetown privacy set is a non-keyed bed/bath function with a thumbturn. Passage and dummy knobs share the same knob styling but do not latch-lock: the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped passage latchset, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob are hall and closet latches only. Dummy trims such as the Omnia 458/0 single dummy and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim have no latch mechanism at all. None of these substitute for a privacy opening.
10) Will a Georgetown privacy knob fit a 2 inch thick door, or is another knob needed?
The Emtek Georgetown knobset is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For thicker doors, peers with a longer range include the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Of those, only the Deltana 6112 is a privacy/bed/bath function.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on the Emtek Georgetown knob, and do I need it?
CF is the concealed-fastener mechanism: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so you see a clean rose on both faces. Selecting CF includes the 28 degree rotation latch. If you do not need the hidden fastening you can order the standard latch, or the 28 degree rotation latch on its own. The 28 degree latch reduces how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt, which helps on glass knobs that are harder to grip.
12) Can I match the Georgetown crystal knob to the rest of the brass hardware in the house?
Seven finishes are offered: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The metal parts are solid brass, and a split finish can be requested if you want different finishes on each side of the door. Note that unlacquered brass will patina over time rather than hold its shine.
13) What are the alternatives if I want a decorative brass privacy knob but not glass?
Two close options in the same residential decorative category: the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The Deltana is the one to look at if your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, since the Georgetown set is specified for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4.
14) I need a budget privacy knob for a rental unit, not a crystal one. What should I look at?
For turns where cost and replaceability matter more than the look, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob are both Grade 3 and both fit 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range as the Georgetown. Keep the Emtek crystal set for units where the finish level is part of the rent.
15) If the door needs a key rather than a privacy thumbturn, what replaces the Emtek Georgetown privacy knob?
The Georgetown privacy set is non-keyed. For a keyed opening in the same knob format, the Kwikset 400P Polo is a keyed entry knob with 6AL latch and RCS strike, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For graded commercial keyed use, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder.
16) Georgetown privacy knobs are sold one door at a time - what is a multi-pack option for a whole-house or unit turnover?
The Emtek Georgetown is sold as a complete single set including latch and strike plate, ordered per opening with your chosen finish, rosette and backset. For volume turnover work, 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 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those are utility knob programs rather than decorative brass crystal sets.
17) Which rosette styles can I get with the Georgetown knob?
Three rose designs ship on the set: Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope. The knob can be paired with any Emtek brass rosette, so the rose is where you set the trim style while the crystal knob stays the same.
18) Does the Georgetown knob need to be ordered by hand?
No handing to specify. It is a bored tubular knobset with matching knobs on both faces, so it works on a left or right hand door either way. The choices that do matter on the order are backset, finish, rosette, and latch type.
