Emtek Designer Brass Knobsets - Belmont Knob, Privacy Set

Yes, if the door is prepped standard. The Belmont privacy knobset drops into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and works on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The one exception is the STRETTO rosette, which needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep for the privacy thumbturn, so that option is not a drop-in on a standard single-bore door.

Yes. Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch, which is typical for residential interior doors; call out 2-3/4 inch if the hole in your door is set further from the edge. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you order.

The Belmont knobset is a residential brass set with a non-keyed privacy function, so it is meant for bedroom and bathroom doors rather than graded commercial openings. Where a commercial door is involved, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 storeroom knob lock, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 passage knob lock, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 passage knobset with a fire rating that covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. For a keyed classroom opening the Dexter C2000 classroom ball knob is a Grade 2 lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas Knob is a privacy/bed/bath knob in the same decorative solid-knob category, and it covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is also a privacy knob, supplied with the R027 rose. The Belmont privacy set is brass and is offered with ten rosette styles including Lancaster, Quincy, Ribbon and Reed, Rope and Wilshire, so if the rose profile is what has to match a house standard, the Belmont gives the widest choice of trim; the Baldwin and Deltana each pair the knob with their own rose design.

The Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Pamex FTF Baron and the Cal-Royal BER20 are both Grade 3 privacy knob locks over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range, with the BER20 carrying brass trim. All three are plain utility knobs with a fixed rose; the Emtek Belmont is a residential brass set whose rose and finish are selected separately, which is what you are paying for when the door is seen.

Dummy and passage knobs are the two that get ordered by mistake. The Omnia 434/0 and 442/00, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Schlage A170 single dummy and the Bravura Biloxi are all dummy function, meaning the knob does not turn a latch at all. The Omnia 434/PA, the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg, the Corbin Russwin CK4410, the Arrow MK01 and the Kwikset 200P Polo are passage function, which retracts a latch but has no locking. Only a privacy function gives the bed and bath thumbturn that the Belmont provides.

It is sold as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Privacy function means a thumbturn inside and an emergency release outside, no key and no cylinder. Nothing else is needed for a bedroom or bath door beyond screws for the strike.

Three latch choices. Standard latch is the conventional setup with visible rosette screws. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch turns with less wrist rotation. The CF mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. If the look of the rose matters on a visible interior door, CF is the one to pick.

The Belmont knob head pairs with any of ten brass rosettes, #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Watford and Wilshire, in 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). That is how you keep bedroom, bath and hall doors consistent while changing only the function.

The Belmont set itself is non-keyed privacy, so an entry door needs a keyed knob from elsewhere. Among decorative knobs the Deltana 6901 Portland is an entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Deltana 3381 Egg and 6171 Round are entry knobs covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On the utility side the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes. Matching finish across the doors is the thing to confirm, since the Belmont comes in seven finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Satin Nickel US15 and Polished Chrome US26.

The Belmont set fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch on a 2-1/8 inch bore standard prep, so a thick door is within its range as long as the thickness is stated on the order. If a graded lock is wanted on a thick opening instead, the Falcon X101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch as a Grade 1 passage knobset, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a decorative entry knob at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6171 Round and 3381 Egg both reach that thickness.

The Baldwin Estate 5000 preconfigured privacy lock ships as a 2 inch Baltimore knob with the 5148 rose, a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike, so the trim and backset are already decided. The Belmont privacy set is ordered the other way round: the knob is combined with a chosen rosette and finish, and the backset is selected as 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Pick the preconfigured Baldwin when one line item is the goal, and the Belmont when the rose has to match other doors.

Match whatever is already routed into your door edge. The Belmont latch is available with a round corner or square corner faceplate; a mortised square pocket takes the square plate, and a drilled round pocket takes the round one. Picking the wrong one means chiseling the edge to make it sit flush.

They solve different problems. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, fitting doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, so entry is controlled by a code from outside. The Belmont privacy set is non-keyed with a thumbturn on the inside, which is the arrangement for a bedroom or bathroom where the occupant secures the door from within and there is no code to distribute.
