Emtek Designer Brass Knobsets - Beaded Egg Knob, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep at all. The Beaded Egg dummy pair is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch bore. That is what makes it the usual choice for a closet door, a pantry door, or the inactive leaf of a double door where nothing has to latch. If the door is already bored for a standard cylindrical lock, a dummy will not cover or use that prep, and you want a passage set instead.

The Emtek Beaded Egg dummy covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a 2 inch door, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob all list a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as well. The Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inch.

The Omnia 434/0 is a traditional egg-shaped knob single dummy interior lockset in solid brass construction, which matches the Emtek Beaded Egg dummy knob on shape family, dummy function, and brass material. The Emtek Beaded Egg dummy is a brass knob in a traditional style sold as a pair; the Omnia 434/0 is a single dummy. Deltana also builds an egg knob, the 3381, but that one is an entry function rather than a dummy.

A dummy knob does not latch - the Emtek Beaded Egg dummy is a non-keyed dummy function that surface mounts with no door prep. For an opening that needs to latch, the Omnia 434/PA is the same traditional egg-shaped knob in solid brass built as a latchset with a 3 inch projection, in passage function. In a commercial-duty line, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a fire rating.

You pick it. The Beaded Egg dummy can be ordered with any of ten brass rosettes: #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Watford, and Wilshire. That is the decision that makes the set match the rest of the trim in the room, so choose the rosette that already appears on your passage and privacy sets and order the dummy to match.

Seven: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). If you are matching existing hardware in a house, the US code on the back of what is already there is the fastest way to match. Unlacquered brass is the one that will patina over time rather than hold its as-shipped look.

It is a residential product, solid brass, in a traditional style. There is no ANSI grade behind it and no latch or cylinder to speak of, so for a commercial corridor or an institutional facility where a graded lock is specified, look at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical line instead, such as the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob or the Schlage D10S Grade 1 passage. For a dummy in a commercial setting, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim.

For a door that actually operates, the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and Deltana's 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function egg knob rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Both give you the egg shape with a latch behind it. Keep the Beaded Egg dummy for the leaf or closet door where nothing has to move.

It will if you hold the rosette and finish constant. The Beaded Egg dummy uses the same brass rosette family as the rest of the Emtek brass knob line, so ordering it with the same rosette (Lancaster, Rope, Wilshire and so on) and the same US finish code as your passage and privacy sets gives you one look across every opening. The dummy is the piece that goes on closets, pantries, and inactive French door leaves where the rest of the house gets a working set.

They are different parts. The Emtek Beaded Egg dummy is a surface mount knob with no door prep required, so it goes on a face with no bore and no latch. A passage knob such as the Kwikset 200P Polo, which ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, or the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, needs a bored door and a strike in the jamb. If the door has no bore, the dummy is the part that fits; if it is already bored for a cylindrical lock, a passage knob is the one that will latch.

Knob trim sold for exit devices reads as a knob and rose but is not a dummy. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in an entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in a storeroom function. Those mount to a device or a chassis rather than standing alone. The Emtek Beaded Egg dummy is a non-keyed dummy that surface mounts with no door prep and ships as a complete pair.

The Emtek Beaded Egg dummy is a non-keyed dummy, so it does not lock. For a privacy function in a traditional brass knob, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose privacy lock with 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike are both privacy knobs. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. In a graded line, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is Grade 3 over the same range.

Yes. A split finish can be requested on the Beaded Egg dummy pair using the optional split finish field on the order, which is how you handle a door where the closet side is meant to match one room and the hall side another. Spell out which finish goes on which face when you order.

The Emtek Beaded Egg dummy covers the non-functioning openings and is offered in French Antique US7, Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Pewter US15A, Polished Brass Lifetime US3, Polished Chrome US26, Satin Nickel US15, and Unlacquered Brass US3NL. For the keyed doors in the same turn, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack ships with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 over that same thickness range, and the Master Lock BC series biscuit knob is a Grade 3 keyed entry.

The Beaded Egg is a traditional style brass knob. For a plainer profile, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Sure-Loc Modern Bergen is a round knob, and the Arrow RK01 is a Grade 2 ball knob passage lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Bravura Albany and Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim.
