Emtek 8200.RK.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Emtek Rope privacy knob fit a standard pre-bored interior door?
Yes, for a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep. The Rope knob privacy set is a tubular bored lockset, so it drops into the same 2-1/8 inch bore an ordinary residential knob came out of. One exception: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn, so it is not a straight swap into a 2-1/8 inch hole.
2) Do I need to order the 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset for this Emtek knob?
Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. If that is 2-3/8 inches you take the standard latch; if it is 2-3/4 inches you must specify the 2-3/4 inch backset when ordering, since backset is a required selection on the Rope knob set. The latch is adjustable between the two, and 2-3/8 is the common residential dimension with 2-3/4 typical on heavier doors.
3) Is this Emtek knob keyed, and what does the privacy function actually do?
Non-keyed. The Rope privacy set is a bed and bath function: it locks from the inside with a turn button or thumbturn and has an emergency release on the outside, with no cylinder and no key. If you need a keyed entry knob for an exterior or office door, this is the wrong function.
4) Is the Emtek Rope knobset suitable for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is built as residential hardware, solid brass, traditional styling. For commercial traffic or anywhere a graded lock is specified, go to a cylindrical lock instead: the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is Grade 2, and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob is Grade 3. Emtek's strength here is appearance and finish selection in homes and high-end multi-family unit interiors.
5) What is the closest decorative-brass alternative to the Emtek Rope privacy knob for a bedroom or bath door?
The Emtek Rope knobset is a privacy/bed/bath function knob in brass, and the nearest decorative-brass peers in the same function are the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose on a 2-3/8 inch backset with full lip strike, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. All three turn a bedroom or bath door the same way; the difference is knob shape and rose design rather than function.
6) I need a privacy knob with an ANSI grade for a commercial job - what should I use instead of the Emtek Rope?
The Emtek Rope knobset is catalogued as residential hardware. For a graded privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is Grade 2 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob with brass trim is Grade 3 over the same door range, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three give you a bed/bath function with a stated grade for a spec sheet.
7) The Emtek Rope set fits doors up to 2-1/4 inch - which alternatives handle a thick door?
The Emtek Rope knobset fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore. If you are shopping elsewhere for a thick door, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob both go to 2 inch, while most Grade 2 and Grade 3 knobs such as the Dexter C2000 privacy stop at 1-3/4 inch.
8) What comes in the box with the Emtek Rope privacy knobset?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a pre-bored door. The latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so match whatever is already mortised into the door edge to avoid re-chiseling.
9) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three latch choices. The standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch reduces how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt. The CF Mechanism gives rosettes with no exposed screws for a cleaner face, and it includes the 28 degree latch. Pick CF if the visible screw heads on the rose are the issue.
10) Can I use a different rosette shape with the Rope knob, or is it fixed?
The Rope knob can be ordered with any brass rosette. Ten are offered: #8, Lancaster, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Ribbon and Reed, Rope, Watford and Wilshire. That lets you carry one rose shape across an entire house while changing knob designs room to room.
11) What finishes does the Emtek Rope brass knob come in, and will unlacquered brass change over time?
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). US3NL has no clear coat, so it will darken and patina with handling. If you want the brass to stay bright, order the Lifetime Polished Brass instead.
12) What's a comparable privacy knob to the Emtek Rope if I want another decorative brass option?
Two close alternatives in the same decorative residential space: the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which is listed for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Both are privacy/bed-bath function like the Emtek. What Emtek gives you that those preconfigured sets do not is mixing any of ten rosettes with the knob and seven finishes.
13) I want the same Rope knob look on a closet door that doesn't need to lock. What do I order?
The Rope privacy set is bed and bath function only, so for a closet or hall door you want the passage version of the Rope knob rather than this one. Matching passage and privacy across a house works because the rosettes and the seven finishes are shared, so the trim reads identically from door to door even though the inner mechanism differs.
14) The door does not need to lock - what is the passage version to order instead of the Emtek Rope privacy set?
The Emtek Rope knobset is a privacy/bed/bath function with a thumbturn, so for a hall or closet door that only needs to latch, look at a passage knob instead: the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob with 5048 rose on a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass, or the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) Can I use a dummy knob in place of the Emtek Rope privacy set on a closet door?
No - the Emtek Rope privacy set is a working latch with a bed/bath thumbturn and ships with a latch and strike plate, so it operates the door. A dummy knob is surface trim with no latch at all: the Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 single dummy knob latchsets, the Bravura Biloxi Grade 2 dummy, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the BEST 6K single dummy trim and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim all fall in that group. Use a dummy only on a door held by a ball catch or roller catch.
16) What should I order instead of the Emtek Rope knobset if the door needs a key?
The Emtek Rope knobset is non-keyed - it is a privacy function with no cylinder. For a keyed opening, the keyed knob options include the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry with 6AL latch and RCS strike, the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office ball knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office knob with a conventional cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob on a 2-3/4 inch backset.
17) I need multiple interior doors done at once - is there a combo or multi-pack alternative to ordering Emtek Rope sets individually?
The Emtek Rope knobset is sold as a complete single set with latch and strike plate, configured one door at a time by rosette, finish and backset. If you want a packaged approach for a batch of doors, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob comes as a 6-pack with adjustable backset.
18) Will a Sargent 28C knob trim or 78-2875 outside knob work as a substitute for an Emtek Rope knobset?
No. The Emtek Rope is a complete tubular bored knobset with latch and strike for a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in an entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the 7800 Series - both are trim that mounts to an exit device, not standalone locks. The Imperial USA ED-BKL580 knob trim is likewise exit device trim in a storeroom function.
19) What is the alternative if I want keyless entry on a door rather than the Emtek Rope privacy knob?
The Emtek Rope knobset is a mechanical, non-electronic privacy set with a thumbturn. For keyless code entry in a knob format, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function that fits doors from 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick - no batteries and no key, but a very different interior look from a brass rope knob.
20) Can I get a different finish on the inside of the door than the outside?
Yes. Split finish is an option on the Rope knob set, entered as a text note with the order, so you can run one finish on the hallway side and another inside the bedroom or bath. Spell out which finish goes on which side when you enter it.
