Emtek Designer Brass Knobsets - Rope Knob, Dummy (Pair)

You get two knobs, one for each face of the door, sold as a complete set with the rosettes. Neither one turns a latch. If you only need a knob on one side, a pair is more than you need; a single dummy such as the Schlage A170 or the Omnia 434/0 covers one face.

Yes, and it is a required choice at order time. The Rope knob can be paired with any brass rosette: #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon & Reed, Rope, Watford, or Wilshire. Match whatever rosette is already running on your other Emtek openings if you are adding a closet or a pantry door to an existing set.

No. The Rope dummy has no latch and no bore, so it will not hold a door closed. For a door that needs to latch, order a passage or privacy function instead. Emtek builds the same Rope knob in those functions, and cross-brand options include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door.

The Emtek Rope dummy knobset is a residential brass knobset. For a graded commercial dummy, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim cylindrical knob lock rated heavy duty for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the BEST 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim in the 6K Series.

A dummy is surface mounted with no door prep and does not latch. For a latching knob on a closet or hall door, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is another traditional passage option.

A dummy is non-keyed with no latch at all. For a privacy knob in a similar traditional brass look, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch are both privacy function. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike.

The Emtek Rope dummy knobset is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker slab, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and Deltana 6171 Round knob entry both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as well.

Seven: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass will patina over time, which is what some people want on a period house; the lifetime polished brass will not.

It is catalogued and built as residential hardware, solid brass with a traditional profile, and carries no ANSI grade. For commercial corridors and multi-family common areas where a graded product is specified, look at graded cylindrical knob locks instead, such as the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 dummy trim. Inside apartment units, on closets and pantries, the Rope pair is fine.

Yes. The stated range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4. Because it surface mounts, thickness only affects the through-bolt length, not the bore.

Both are dummy function knobsets. The Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, while the Emtek Rope is a brass residential knobset offered in seven finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and Pewter (US15A), and across ten rosette styles such as Lancaster, Quincy, and Ribbon & Reed. If the rosette shape has to match other Emtek trim in the house, the Biloxi round trim is a fixed shape.

Knob trim pieces sold for exit devices and mortise chassis look similar but are not dummy trim. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design for the 7800 Series, the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom function knob trim in the ED-500 Series. Each of those mounts to a device or lock body, while the Emtek Rope dummy is surface mounted with no door prep.

The Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA Series covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range the Emtek Rope dummy knobset covers. The Bravura Biloxi Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim is another simpler option. Neither carries the Emtek brass rosette choices.

It is non-keyed and cannot take a cylinder. The dummy knob is trim only, with no lock mechanism inside it, so it has no place in a keying schedule. Keying belongs on the entry and storeroom openings in the same finish.

Keyed entry knobs in the comparable range include the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with round corner adjustable latch and strike, and the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with Kwikset keyway. The Emtek Rope dummy itself is non-keyed.
