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

Yes. The Providence crystal dummy set covers doors from 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, which spans the common older interior door and the standard modern 1-3/4 inch slab.

It does not. A dummy knob is a fixed pull only, with no latch, no spindle turn and no keying. On the Providence crystal set the function is dummy and non-keyed, so if you need the door to stay shut on its own you want a passage set instead, such as the Bravura Albany or the Dexter C2000 passage knob.

The Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed single dummy trim rated heavy duty for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical knob, and the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset. All three are plain commercial-style knobs; the Emtek Providence dummy is a residential glass-knob set in brass supplied as a pair.

A dummy knob such as the Emtek Providence pair is surface mounted with no door prep and does not operate a latch. If the door needs to latch, use a passage set such as the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, or the Bravura Albany round trim Grade 2 passage knobset. For a bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors gives you a locking function.

The Providence crystal dummy is a residential dummy knobset and does not latch or lock. For code-driven openings use a graded commercial lock: the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 fire-rated passage knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Dexter C2000 classroom knob is a Grade 2 keyed classroom function for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Three rosette patterns: Rope, Lancaster, and Ribbon and Reed. Each comes in 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. Any brass rosette in the Emtek line can be paired with the knob, so you can match rosettes already on other doors in the house.

The crystal Providence knob in dummy form handles the non-latching doors, closets, double doors, and fixed panels. For the bedroom you would need a privacy or passage version of the same Providence knob rather than the dummy, since the dummy has no latch and no locking function at all. Ordering both in the same finish and rosette keeps the look consistent across the house.

Several knobs described as trim are not dummies. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design for the 7800 Series, the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function for the ED-500 series. Those are operating trim for exit devices, not inactive knobs. The Emtek Providence dummy set is non-keyed dummy function and mounts to the door surface with no prep.

The Emtek Providence dummy set covers doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage knob covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range, while the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob and the Deltana 6171 round knob entry both go to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset reaches 2-1/4 inch. On a thick door above 1-3/4 inch those wider-range sets are the ones to look at.

The Emtek Providence dummy is dummy function only. For a full function family in one design, the Dexter C2000 series runs Grade 2 passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom on a common ball knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex Baron FTF series runs Grade 3 passage, privacy and entrance/office, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes.

Yes. A split finish can be specified at order time, so you can run one finish on the corridor side and another on the room side where the two rooms have different hardware schemes. Note the finish selection itself is the base finish; the split request is entered as a text note with the order.

No. Unlacquered Brass US3NL is bare brass with no protective coating, so it darkens and patinas with handling over time. If you want the bright look held, choose Polished Brass Lifetime US3 instead. Both are offered on all three rosette patterns of the Providence crystal set.

Glass crystal knob on solid brass, with brass rosettes, part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection. Brass substrate is what lets it carry the plated finishes like US10B and US26 rather than a painted coating.
