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

No latch, no turning function. A dummy pair is fixed trim: one knob mounted on each face of the door, used as a pull on closet doors, French door inactive leaves, and doors held shut by a ball catch or roller catch. The Victoria knob is non-keyed with a dummy function, so if you need the door to actually latch, order the passage version instead.

Yes. The Victoria dummy pair covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which spans standard 1-3/4 inch commercial and entry doors down to the common 1-3/8 inch interior slab. Because it is surface mounted, the two knobs fasten through the door, so the thickness range is about the fastener length, not a latch tailpiece.

That is the usual reason to buy them. The Victoria knob comes 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) and ten rosette styles, so a closet or inactive leaf can carry the same knob, finish and rose as the passage and privacy sets on the rest of the openings. Pick the rosette that matches the rest of the run, not just the finish.

A dummy knob has no latch and no turning mechanism, so it will not hold a door closed. For a hall or closet door that must latch, 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 a passage function knob. In commercial traffic, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob.

A bath or bedroom door needs privacy function, which locks from the inside. In a decorative brass style, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy, which fits doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick, both cover that. For a standard residential or light commercial opening, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical ball knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim in the same thickness range.

Brass through the knob and rosette, and it is classified as residential. That points it at single-family, multi-family unit interiors and hospitality guest rooms rather than a commercial corridor. If you need a dummy knob on a commercial opening where a graded product is specified, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty option and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty.

A passage knob turns and retracts a latch that holds the door closed; a dummy knob does neither and needs a ball or roller catch to keep the door shut. Choose dummy when the door already has a catch or is a French door inactive leaf. Choose passage when nothing else is holding the door. Graded passage knobs we carry include the Corbin Russwin CK4310 (Grade 1, fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors) and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob (Grade 2, 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch).

For a utility dummy where appearance is secondary, the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical dummy knob. The Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty single dummy trim in the A Series for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch thick. All three are single dummy trims for one face of a door, where the Emtek Victoria dummy comes as a pair with a choice of ten rosette styles including Lancaster, Quincy, Rope and Wilshire.

The Emtek Victoria brass knobset is a residential knob. Where an opening carries commercial traffic or a specification, the Grade 1 options include the Sargent 8XG04 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Falcon X101 heavy duty Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch thick and a fire rating, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. At Grade 2, the Sargent 6G04 is a storeroom/closet knob lock with single cylinder and the Falcon W101 is a fire rated passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

No. Those are exit device trims, not standalone door knobs. 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 knob trim in storeroom function for the ED-500 Series. Each mounts to the exit device it belongs to. The Emtek Victoria dummy is a surface mount knob pair that fastens to the door itself and needs no door prep.

Where the run includes a door that has to lock with a key, the decorative brass options are the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and the Deltana 6171 Round knob entry, both for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick, and the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a builder-grade run, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike, and the Master Lock BC Series biscuit knob is a Grade 3 keyed entry. The Emtek Victoria dummy is non-keyed.

Thickness ranges vary by peer. The Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Lockey 3830 mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function covers 1 3/16 to 2 inch. Peers that stop at 1-3/4 inch include the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob, the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet.

Functionally they are different products. The Arrow RK01 is a Grade 2 ball knob passage lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Dexter C2000 passage is a Grade 2 non-clutching ball knob for the same range; both latch the door. The Emtek Victoria dummy is a fixed brass knob pair with no latch, ordered in finishes such as Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Pewter US15A, Unlacquered Brass US3NL and Polished Chrome US26. If the door is a false or inactive leaf, the ball knob passage sets add a latch you do not want; if the door must catch, the dummy will not do it.

Grade 3 knob locks in the same knob format include the Pamex FTF Baron in passage, privacy and entrance/office functions, all for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick, the Pamex FT3 Saturn knob lockset in the same thickness range, and the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office Grade 3 knob lock with a Kwikset keyway. Callan also lists Grade 3 entrance knobsets in the Canova and Santo series. The Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington is the dummy in that family, covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Yes, split finish is an option on the order. Put the interior finish and the exterior finish you want in the split finish field when ordering, drawing from the seven available finishes. This matters on a French door or a room divider where the two rooms are finished differently.

Handing is not a factor. There is no latch, no cylinder and no turn mechanism in the dummy pair, so the same part works on a left or right hand door and on either swing. What you do need to decide is finish and rosette style.

The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick, so one order covers more than a single function. The Emtek Victoria dummy is a single function product - a dummy knob pair - and functions like passage, privacy and entry are ordered as separate Emtek knobsets in the matching Victoria style and rosette.
