Emtek 8100.BE.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Beaded Egg passage knob fit a standard pre-drilled door?
Yes, it drops into standard bored door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The latch is adjustable for either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, and you pick the backset when ordering. One exception: if you spec the STRETTO rosette, the prep changes to a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore hole with 2-hole preparation.
2) What does passage function mean on this Emtek Beaded Egg knobset, and can it lock?
Passage means it latches but never locks. There is no key and no thumbturn, so both knobs always turn freely. It's the set for hallways, closets, pantries and any door that just needs to stay shut. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy set with a thumbturn instead.
3) What comes in the box with the Emtek Beaded Egg passage set?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed for a standard bored door. The latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so match it to the existing mortise in the door edge.
4) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three choices. The standard latch is the normal tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch reduces how far you have to turn the knob to retract the bolt, which suits lighter hands. The CF Mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and the 28 degree latch is included with it. If concealed fasteners matter on a visible interior door, CF is the one to order.
5) Do I need to specify the backset when ordering the Beaded Egg passage set?
Yes, backset is a required selection. The standard latch ships for a 2-3/8 inch backset, so if the existing hole is bored at 2-3/4 inch you have to call that out on the order. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you commit. Those two are the only backsets used on bored residential doors.
6) I need a passage knob for a commercial corridor instead of a decorative residential one. What should I use?
The Emtek Beaded Egg passage knobset is catalogued for residential use, so for a commercial corridor look at a graded cylindrical passage lock instead. The Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed passage latch 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. For a medium duty option, the Falcon W101 is Grade 2, fire rated, and supplied with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) What is the closest solid brass alternative to the Emtek Beaded Egg passage knobset in a traditional egg shape?
The Omnia 434/PA is the nearest match in form: a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a passage/hall/closet function, listed with a 3 inch projection. Like the Emtek Beaded Egg passage set, it is a non-keyed latching knob for interior doors in brass. The difference is the beaded detailing on the Emtek knob and Emtek's choice of rosette, which includes Regular, Oval, Quincy, Lancaster, Rectangular, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Watford, Wilshire and #8.
8) Does the Emtek Beaded Egg passage knobset lock? What should I order for a bedroom or bathroom?
No. The Emtek Beaded Egg is a passage function knobset, non-keyed, so both knobs always turn and there is no locking. For a bed or bath door you need a privacy function: the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, or the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob, a Grade 3 set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
9) What passage knob should I use on a door thicker than the Emtek Beaded Egg covers?
The Emtek Beaded Egg passage set is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For thicker doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock with Global knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Lockey 3830 keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function covers 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch.
10) Which rosettes can I get with the Beaded Egg knob?
The Beaded Egg knob can be paired with any Emtek brass rosette. The choices are the #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Watford and Wilshire. That lets you carry one knob design across a house and change the rosette to suit each room, or match rosettes already installed on other doors.
11) What else looks like this egg-shaped brass knob if I want a different brand?
For a traditional egg knob in solid brass, the Omnia 434/PA is a passage latchset with an egg-shaped knob, and the Omnia 434/0 is the matching single dummy for a closet door that does not latch. Deltana's 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function version if you need a keyed exterior door in the same shape. On the decorative residential side, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial with 5058 rose is another passage knob option.
12) Can I use these on a closet door that has no latch prep?
No. The Beaded Egg passage set is a working latchset and needs a bored door with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and an edge bore for the latch. For a surface-mounted knob on an unbored or non-latching door, use a dummy trim instead, such as the Omnia 434/0 egg knob single dummy or the Schlage A170 single dummy trim.
13) What is the difference between the Emtek Beaded Egg passage knobset and the Bravura passage knobsets?
The Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim, and the Bravura Dallas is a Grade 2 passage knobset with rectangle trim in a US4 satin brass finish. The Emtek Beaded Egg passage set is a brass knob with the rosette selected separately from ten styles and finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15, Polished Brass US3, Unlacquered Brass US3NL, Polished Chrome US26, Pewter US15A and French Antique US7.
14) What is a simpler passage knobset than the Emtek Beaded Egg if I do not need a choice of rosettes?
The Emtek Beaded Egg passage set is configured with ten brass rosette styles and three latch choices, which is useful on a design job and unnecessary on a straightforward door swap. For a preconfigured passage knob, the Baldwin Estate 5000 comes as a 2 inch Baltimore knob with a 5048 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob ships with the 5058 rose. The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob is supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike.
15) I need a keyed knob to match the Emtek Beaded Egg passage sets elsewhere in the house. What are my options?
The Beaded Egg set is non-keyed, so for the exterior or a lockable office door you need a keyed knob from another line. The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry set is the closest in shape and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Other keyed choices include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry, a Grade 3 set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Edgewood Grade 2 entrance knobset, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors up to 2 inch.
16) Is there a Grade 2 or Grade 3 passage knobset I can use instead of the Emtek Beaded Egg on rental unit interior doors?
Yes, several graded passage knobs cover interior rental doors. The Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical ball knob lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet lock with a Global knob over the same thickness range, and the Pamex FTF30 Baron is a Grade 3 passage knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Beaded Egg differs in being a brass traditional-style set with selectable rosettes.
17) Can I buy passage knobs in bulk instead of ordering the Emtek Beaded Egg set door by door?
For multi-door work the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered 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. The Emtek Beaded Egg passage set is configured per door with a chosen backset of 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, rosette style and finish, which suits matching existing decorative hardware rather than volume standardization.
