Emtek Lost Wax Cast Bronze Knobsets - Parma Knob, Dummy (Pair)

The Emtek Parma dummy knob is a residential product. For commercial openings, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical non-keyed knob lock covering 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical knob. Both are ANSI/BHMA graded dummy trims; the Emtek Parma carries no grade designation and is offered in lost wax cast bronze finishes.

The Parma dummy pair is surface mount with no door prep and no latching mechanism. If the door must stay closed, look at a passage function knob instead: the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob uses the 5058 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage lock comes with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. Those require a bored door prep the dummy does not.

No. The Parma knob is non-keyed dummy function, meaning it does not turn or latch. For a locking bed or bath door, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy lock with 5148 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset are privacy function knobs.

Four rosette styles, #11, #12, #14 and #15, each in two Lost Wax Cast Bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB) and Medium Bronze (MB). All eight combinations are orderable. The knob can pair with any Lost Wax Bronze rosette in the Tuscany Bronze collection, so you can match rosette shape across passage, privacy and dummy openings in the same house.

It's a residential-duty knob, no ANSI grade behind it, so for commercial traffic look at graded cylindrical hardware instead. The Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty dummy trim and the Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset. For upscale residential, custom homes, or multi-family units where the look drives the spec, the cast bronze Parma is on point.

Both are dummy function knobs. The Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim, while the Emtek Parma dummy is a residential lost wax cast bronze knob offered with #11, #12, #14 and #15 rosettes in Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze. The Biloxi is a single round-rose design; the Parma is sold as a pair with a choice of cast bronze rosette.

The Cal-Royal BA40 from the Barrington BA Series is a dummy knob cylindrical lock rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness range the Emtek Parma dummy covers. The BA40 is a plain commercial-style knob; the Parma is a cast bronze decorative knob with selectable rosettes.

The Parma dummy pair is non-keyed and cannot accept a cylinder. For a keyed entry knob, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry and Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry both cover 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Deltana 6901 Portland Knob entry covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and strike.

Yes, a split finish can be specified when ordering, along with any notes on the set. Useful when the closet or pantry side is meant to match interior hardware and the room side matches the rest of the bronze.

Cast bronze, produced by lost wax casting, which is why the Tuscany line has the hand-worked surface rather than a machined look. The finishes are living bronze tones (Flat Black Bronze and Medium Bronze) that shift with handling over time.
