Emtek 8100.BT.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Belmont passage knob fit my existing door prep?
If the door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and is between 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inches thick, the Belmont passage knobset drops in. Backset is adjustable, so you pick 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch when ordering. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep, so it is not a plain swap into a standard bore.
2) Does a passage knob lock, or is it just a latch?
Passage means no lock at all. The Belmont set is non-keyed with no thumbturn, so the knob simply retracts the latch from either side. Use it on hallways, closets, and pantry doors. For a bathroom or bedroom you want a privacy function with a thumbturn instead.
3) What comes in the box with the Emtek Belmont passage set?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs with the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a properly bored door. Latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner to match the mortise already cut in your door edge.
4) Is this knobset rated for commercial use in an office building or school?
No. The Belmont brass knobset is a residential tubular lockset, so it is aimed at houses, condos, and apartment interiors rather than commercial traffic. For a commercial corridor or classroom, look at a Grade 1 cylindrical passage lock such as the Schlage D10S or the Corbin Russwin CK4310, or Grade 2 units like the Arrow MK01 or Dexter C2000 passage knob.
5) My door is 2 inches thick. Will this work?
The spec table for the Belmont passage set gives a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. For a 2 inch door, a lockset that states the thicker range is the safer call: the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, Deltana's Round Knob 6171 entry set covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon X101 passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inches.
6) Do I need to specify the backset, or is the latch adjustable?
Backset is a required selection, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships for 2-3/8 inch, which is what most residential doors are bored to, so call out 2-3/4 inch if your prep uses the deeper backset. Measuring from the door edge to the center of the bore tells you which you have.
7) What is a comparable solid brass passage knob to the Emtek Belmont passage knobset?
The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a decorative passage/hall/closet knob in the same residential category, and the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is a passage/hall/closet set with solid brass construction and a 3 inch projection. The Emtek Belmont passage set is brass, non-keyed passage function, fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and can be paired with ten rosette styles including Lancaster, Quincy, Rope and Wilshire. If rosette choice is what matters to the job, the Emtek set carries that selection; the Baldwin and Omnia sets come with their own fixed rose.
8) I need a passage knob for a commercial corridor door - is the Emtek Belmont the right choice?
The Emtek Belmont passage knobset is designated residential. For a commercial corridor, the Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob lock with the Orbit knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with the Global knob covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Where a fire-rated opening is involved, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 passage knobset that is fire rated and fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
9) The Emtek Belmont passage set will not lock - what do I order for a bedroom or bathroom door?
Passage function is non-keyed and does not lock, so for a bed or bath opening you need a privacy set. Comparable privacy knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob.
10) Can the Emtek Belmont passage knobset be keyed for an entry door?
No - the Belmont passage set is non-keyed passage function. For a keyed exterior or office opening, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry set covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is a Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek knobsets and should I pick it?
CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the face of the trim is clean. Choosing CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. If you do not mind visible rosette screws, the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on its own are the other two choices.
12) Which rosettes can I get with the Belmont knob?
The Belmont knob can be ordered with any Emtek brass rosette. The choices are #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Watford, and Wilshire. That lets you carry one knob design across a house while matching the trim shape to the room or to existing hardware.
13) What finishes does the Emtek Belmont knob come in, and can I mix two?
Seven finishes: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). A split finish is also possible, so you can run one finish on the corridor side and another inside the room. Note the finish on the order.
14) I need a matching privacy knob for the bedroom doors. What pairs with the Belmont passage set?
Emtek builds the same knob designs in passage and privacy, so a Belmont privacy knobset with the same rosette and finish keeps the openings consistent. If you are sourcing across brands instead, Baldwin's Estate 5000 line does the same thing: the 5000 Baltimore knob is offered as a passage set and as a matching privacy set.
15) What is a lower-cost alternative to the Emtek Belmont passage knobset for a rental turn?
For plain passage duty without the decorative rosette program, the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in passage function is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 passage cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2 non-keyed for the same door range, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike. The Emtek Belmont differs in that it is brass and offered across seven finishes and ten rosette styles.
16) My door has no latch bore - is the Emtek Belmont passage set still what I want?
No. The Belmont passage set is a working latchset sold complete with latch and strike plate and requires a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. A door leaf that only needs a pull, such as an inactive French door or a closet slab, takes a dummy knob instead: the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy, the Omnia 442/00 single dummy with 2-5/8 inch rose, the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim, or the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob.
17) Which passage knobs besides the Emtek Belmont offer a choice of backset?
The Emtek Belmont passage set is ordered with either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Among comparable passage knobs, the Kwikset 200P-CP Polo passage knob uses a round corner adjustable latch, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack ships with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob 6-pack has an adjustable backset. The Falcon W101 Grade 2 passage knob lock is specified at a 2-3/4 inch backset.
18) What passage knob should I standardize on across a multi-unit building instead of the Emtek Belmont?
The Belmont passage set is a residential brass knob configured per opening by finish, rosette and latch type, which suits a design-led turn more than a volume rollout. For fleet standardization, the Arrow MK01 and RK01 are Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob locks for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock over the same door range, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is sold as a 6-pack with adjustable backset.
19) I want a passage knob that latches but locks itself - is there an alternative to the Emtek Belmont?
The Belmont is a standard non-keyed passage set with no locking. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, which is a different product concept: code entry rather than free passage both sides.
