Emtek 8107.PC.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Providence crystal knob passage set fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Providence passage knobset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, and the specs list a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. One caution: if you pick a STRETTO rosette, that one needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep instead, so it is not a straight drop-in on a standard single-bore door.
2) Which backset do I order for the Emtek Providence passage knob?
Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The standard latch ships for 2-3/8 inch, which is the usual residential bore centerline; specify 2-3/4 inch if your existing holes are set back further, which is common on wider-stile and commercial-prepped doors. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore before you order.
3) Does a passage knob lock? I need to know before I put one on a bathroom.
No, it does not. Passage function means latching only, no lock at all, and the Providence crystal set is non-keyed with no thumbturn. Use it on hall, closet, and pantry doors. For a bath or bedroom you want a privacy set with a thumbturn, or for a keyed exterior door an entry function set.
4) My door is 2 inches thick. Will this Emtek knobset work?
The Providence passage set specs give a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so a 2 inch door is outside it. For thicker slabs, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob and Deltana 3381 Egg Knob cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon X101 goes to 2-1/4 inches.
5) I need a passage knob rated for a commercial corridor instead of a decorative residential set - what should I use?
The Emtek Providence passage knob set is a residential product. For commercial traffic, the Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical knob lock with an Orbit knob, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that is fire rated and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. In Grade 2, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Global knob passage lock and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob both cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) What is a comparable decorative brass passage knob to the Emtek Providence crystal knob passage set?
The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a decorative passage knob in the same vein, as is the Baldwin Estate 5000 preconfigured 2 inch Baltimore knob with 5048 rose, which ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. The Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is another passage-function option in solid brass. The Emtek Providence set differs in that the knob itself is glass, from Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection, and the rose is ordered separately as Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, or Rope.
7) The door is a bedroom or bathroom - what takes the place of the Providence passage set there?
The Providence set is a passage function, non-keyed with no locking, so it suits halls and closets rather than bed and bath. For a privacy function, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose are decorative privacy options, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. In commercial trim, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2.
8) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what passage knob covers it?
The Emtek Providence passage set lists a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch in its specifications. Where the door runs thicker, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 Global knob passage/closet lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
9) What is included with the Emtek Providence knobset, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate, so nothing else is needed to hang it on a prepped door. Knobs are brass with a crystal Providence knob, and the latch faceplate is available in round or square corner to match the mortise already cut in your door edge.
10) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three latch choices. The standard latch is the conventional option. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch reduces how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt. The CF Mechanism gives rosettes with no exposed screws, a cleaner look on the face of the door, and it includes the 28 degree latch. If the visible screw heads on the rose matter to the design, order CF.
11) Which rosettes and finishes can I get the Providence crystal knob in for matching other doors in the house?
Rosette choices are Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope, and the crystal knob can be ordered with any Emtek brass rosette. 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). There is also a split finish option if you want a different finish on each side of the door.
12) What do I order instead of the Providence passage knob if the door needs to lock with a key?
The Providence passage set is non-keyed. For a keyed opening, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry covers 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. In graded hardware, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock uses a conventional cylinder with the Global knob, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
13) Is a dummy knob the same thing as the Providence passage set?
No. The Providence passage set is a working latching set sold complete with latch and strike plate, so the knob turns and retracts a latch. A dummy knob is surface mounted trim with no latch at all - examples include the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset, and the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset. Use a dummy only on an inactive leaf or a door held by a ball catch.
14) What is a simpler passage knob to use on back-of-house doors where the crystal knob is not warranted?
Plainer passage knobs that cover the same hall and closet duty include the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob, which comes with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim, and the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage knob. The Emtek Providence knob is glass on a brass rose, ordered in finishes such as Oil Rubbed Bronze and Satin Nickel.
15) Can I use the Providence knob as trim on an exit device?
No. The Emtek Providence passage set is a tubular bored lockset for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore in a standard door prep. Exit device trim is a different part - the Sargent 28C knob and rose trim is an entrance function trim for 1-3/4 inch doors in the 28 Series, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom function knob trim in the ED-500 Series.
16) Can I match Emtek Providence passage knobs with privacy sets on bedroom doors in the same house?
Yes, that is the normal way to spec a house: passage on halls and closets, privacy on bedrooms and baths, all in the same knob design, rosette, and finish so the openings read alike. Providence is part of Emtek's glass and porcelain collection and the same rosette families (Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, Rope) and finishes carry across, so keep the rosette and finish consistent when you order each function.
17) Is the Emtek Providence knobset electronic or can it be keyed later?
Neither. It is a mechanical, non-electronic, non-keyed passage set, so there is no cylinder to add and no way to key it. If you need keyed control on that opening, order an entry or keyed function set, such as the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob or the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office lock.
18) I am buying passage knobs in quantity for a multi-unit turnover - what is an alternative to ordering Providence sets one at a time?
For volume interior work, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is sold as a 6-pack with an 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. The Emtek Providence set is configured per opening, with backset chosen as 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch and the rose selected separately.
