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

Dummy means non-latching and non-locking. The knob is fixed, there is no spindle turn, no latchbolt and no keyway, so the door has to be held shut by a ball catch, roller catch or magnetic catch. Use it on the inactive leaf of a French pair, on closet or cabinet doors, or anywhere you only need something to pull on.

Yes. The Modern Square dummy pair covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which spans the common older interior slab at 1-3/8 and the standard 1-3/4 inch door. Because it is surface mounted, the thickness range is about the through-fixing between the two rosettes rather than any latch prep.

It is a residential product, brass bodied and finished for decorative interior use. For a leased corridor, school or clinic where you need a graded cylindrical knob, look instead at something like the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 single dummy trim or the Schlage A170 Grade 2 dummy, both of which carry a Grade 2 rating.

You can, but the old 2-1/8 inch bore and latch mortise will be left behind. A surface mounted dummy does not fill a bored hole the way a cylindrical dummy trim does, so on a previously drilled door a bored single dummy like the Schlage A170 or the Cal-Royal BA40 covers the prep. Use the Emtek surface dummy on undrilled slabs.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob dummy set is a surface-mount brass dummy pair with no door prep required, catalogued for residential use. Where a commercial-duty dummy trim is wanted instead, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 heavy duty single dummy trim in the A Series covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. Both of those are single dummy trims, so a pair of doors needs two of them, while the Emtek is sold as a complete pair set.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob pair is a dummy function, so it does not latch or turn. For a latching interior knob, the Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets, the Pamex FTF30 Baron is a Grade 3 passage knobset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range. Passage function latches the door closed but does not lock.

Keyed and privacy knobs are not interchangeable with the Emtek Modern Square dummy pair, which is non-keyed and surface mounted with no door prep. The Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway, the Kwikset 400P-CP is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob - all of those need a bored door with a latch pocket. The Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only and the Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim are trim pieces for exit devices, not standalone door sets.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob dummy pair is a non-latching residential trim set, so it is not a corridor lock. For heavy duty commercial service, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob lock, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob. The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage knob lock with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset.

Six rosettes: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square and Urban Modern. The knob can be ordered on any brass rosette, so you can carry one rosette shape across passage, privacy and dummy openings in a house and keep the trim reading the same from door to door.

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 at order, which is how you match a black hallway side to a brass room side on the same door.

The Modern Square dummy is part of Emtek's Glass and Porcelain collection in the Square series, so the matching passage and privacy versions of the same square crystal knob are what keep a run of doors consistent. If you want a traditional look instead of contemporary square crystal, Omnia's brass 442/00 and 458/0 dummy knobs and the Bravura Biloxi round dummy are other dummy options.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob pair is a dummy and has no privacy turn. For bed and bath openings, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob with the R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Yes. The Emtek Modern Square Knob dummy is a brass set from the Glass and Porcelain collection offered in seven finishes and six rosette styles. If a plainer dummy is wanted, the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington is a dummy cylindrical knob covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Omnia 434/0 is a traditional egg-shaped single dummy in solid brass.
