Emtek Modern Crystal Knobset - Bristol Knob, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep is needed. The Bristol dummy knobset is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door with no cross bore or latch bore. That makes it the usual pick for closet doors, French door inactive leaves, and pantry doors that are held shut by a ball catch or roller catch rather than a latch.

It ships as a pair, meaning a knob and rosette for each face of the door, sold as a complete set. If you only need one side (a closet door or a single inactive leaf), a single dummy is the right item instead. Options in that vein include the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, or the Omnia 442/00 single dummy knob.

Yes. The stated door thickness range is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which covers standard interior residential doors at 1-3/8 and thicker 1-3/4 inch slabs.

It does not. A dummy knob is fixed trim: it doesn't turn, doesn't retract a latch, and has no key or thumbturn. The Bristol is non-keyed with a dummy function. If you need the door to actually stay shut or lock, you want a passage, privacy, or entry knob instead, for example the Dexter C2000 passage or privacy ball knob, both Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

A dummy knob has no latch and is surface mounted with no door prep, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching opening, a passage knobset is the equivalent: the Omnia 434/PA is a solid brass egg-shaped knob latchset, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob comes with a 5058 rose, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg round trim passage knobsets are Grade 2. For bed and bath, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas and Baldwin 5077 Bethpage are privacy knobs.

The Emtek Bristol crystal dummy knobset is a residential brass knobset. Where a graded dummy is specified, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is Grade 2 heavy duty in the A Series, the BEST 6K-1DT is Grade 2 medium duty, and the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset is Grade 2.

Six rosette styles: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Any brass rosette in the range can be ordered with this knob, so you can match the rose profile already used on the other doors in the room.

Seven finishes: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). A split finish can be requested as an order note if you want different finishes on the two faces of the door.

It is classified residential, non-electronic, and built as a tubular-type bored lockset in brass. For commercial traffic with a graded requirement, look at graded knob locks instead, like the Grade 1 Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage lock (1-3/8 to 2 inch doors) or the Grade 1 Sargent 8XG04 storeroom knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

Traditional solid brass dummy knobs are the common alternative: the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy, the Omnia 458/0 single dummy, or the Bravura Biloxi Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim. Note those are single dummies, so for both faces of a door you would order two.

The Bristol is a glass and porcelain collection knob in a contemporary theme, offered in seven finishes including Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) with six rosette choices. For a plainer metal dummy knob, the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington series dummy cylindrical knob fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Bravura Biloxi offers a simple round trim dummy knobset.

The Emtek Bristol crystal dummy knobset covers doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. For thicker doors, Deltana knobs such as the 3381 Egg Knob entry, 6171 Round Knob entry and 6112 St. Thomas privacy are rated 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock also covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches.

The Bristol crystal dummy knobset is non-keyed with a dummy lock function. For a keyed opening, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

No. Trim such as the Sargent 28C-KNOB, built for 1-3/4 inch doors in the 28 Series, the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 storeroom function knob trim all mount to an exit device or lock chassis rather than standing alone. The Emtek Bristol crystal dummy knobset is a surface mount pair needing no door prep and no chassis behind it.

No. Because it is surface-mounted fixed trim with no latch and no cylinder, there is no handing to specify. Mount it at whatever height matches the other knobs on the run.

The knob body and rosette are brass, and the design comes out of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection with a contemporary crystal knob styling. So you get a brass substrate carrying the glass knob element.

The Emtek Bristol crystal dummy knobset is one function in a brass knobset series available across seven finishes and six rosette styles, so matching dummies to other Emtek functions keeps the crystal look consistent. If a single-brand metal program is preferred instead, the Dexter C2000 Series spans passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom knob locks at Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes.
