Emtek 8100.RK.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Emtek Rope knob passage set come with a latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch and the strike plate are included. Nothing else to buy to hang it, assuming your door already has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep.
2) Does a passage knob lock? I need something for a bedroom door.
No, it does not lock. The Emtek Rope set is passage function, non-keyed, with no thumbturn and no cylinder, so the knobs always turn and the latch just holds the door shut. That is the right choice for a hall, closet, or a door between rooms. For a bedroom or bath you want privacy function with a thumbturn, and for an exterior or office door a keyed entry set.
3) Do I have to use the Rope rosette with the Rope knob?
No. The Rope knob can be paired with any of the brass rosettes offered: #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Watford, and Wilshire. That is how you match the knob to trim already running through the rest of the house rather than being locked into one rose shape.
4) Can I use the Emtek Rope passage knob on a classroom or storeroom door?
No - the Emtek Rope is a non-keyed passage function, meaning both knobs always turn freely. For controlled openings use a keyed function lock such as the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset, the Sargent 6G04 Grade 2 storeroom knob lock, or the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 classroom ball knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) What is a comparable decorative brass passage knob to the Emtek Rope passage knobset?
The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a close decorative counterpart - both are traditional-style residential passage knobsets with a rose-mounted knob. The Emtek Rope set is solid brass and lets you pair the Rope knob with any of ten rosettes including Rope, Lancaster, Quincy and Wilshire, while the Baldwin 5011 is supplied with its 5058 rose. Omnia's 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is another solid brass passage option in the same traditional vein.
6) The Emtek Rope knobset is residential - what should I use on a commercial passage opening instead?
For commercial openings, look at graded cylindrical passage knob locks rather than the Emtek Rope, which is a residential brass set. The Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that is fire rated and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. In Grade 2, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Global knob passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon W101 is a fire rated medium duty Grade 2 passage knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) The Emtek Rope passage set does not lock - what do I order for a bedroom or bathroom door?
The Emtek Rope knobset is a non-keyed passage function with no locking, so for bed and bath use a privacy knob. Comparable privacy knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob, and the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim.
8) What do I use instead of the Emtek Rope passage set on an exterior or keyed entry door?
The Emtek Rope knobset is non-keyed, so a keyed entry knob is the substitute. Options include the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and 6171 Round knob entry, both for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob with 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway.
9) What is the CF mechanism option on the Emtek knobsets, and should I pick it?
CF is the concealed fastener version: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face, so you see clean brass instead of two screw heads. It comes with the 28 degree rotation latch. The other two choices are that 28 degree latch on its own, or the standard latch. Pick CF when the hardware is on display and the screw heads would be noticed.
10) What finishes does the Emtek Rope knob come in, and can I get two different finishes on one door?
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). Split finish is available as an order option, so you can run one finish on the hall side and another inside the room. Note what you want in the split finish field when ordering.
11) Will the strike that comes with the Emtek Rope set match my existing round-corner frame mortise?
The latch faceplate is offered in round corner or square corner, so it can be matched to the prep already routed in your door edge. A square-corner faceplate dropped into a round-corner mortise leaves a gap at the corners, so match what is in the door rather than chiseling.
12) Is this Emtek knobset solid brass, and is it rated for commercial use?
The Rope knobset is brass through the knob, rosette and trim, and it is a residential-duty product in Emtek's traditional design range. For commercial or high-traffic openings that need a graded cylindrical lock, look at something like the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage lock, a Grade 1 non-keyed knob lock, or the Grade 2 Arrow MK01 passage knob.
13) I need a lower cost passage knob for a rental hallway instead of the Emtek Rope - what are the options?
Plainer builder-grade passage knobs cover the same hall and closet duty. The Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 passage knob lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 non-clutching ball knob passage lock over the same thickness range, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike. The Emtek Rope differs in being a solid brass traditional-style set with selectable rosettes and finishes.
14) I need to outfit several interior doors at once - is there a multi-pack alternative to the Emtek Rope passage knob?
The Emtek Rope passage knobset is sold as a complete single set with latch and strike plate, configured per door for backset, finish and rosette. If you want a keyed-alike or bulk option, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob comes as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) I am replacing knobs on several doors in a rental and want them all to look alike. Can I mix passage and locking doors in the Rope design?
The Rope knob and the brass rosette range carry across functions, so you can run the same knob and rose on closets and hall doors with the passage set while using locking functions elsewhere and keep the look consistent. Order the same finish code and the same rosette on every opening, and set each latch to the backset that matches that door, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches.
