Emtek Modern Crystal Knobset - Modern Square Knob, Passage Set

Yes. The Modern Square knob passage set drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 up to 2-1/4 inches thick, so a typical 1-3/4 inch interior door needs no extra prep. One caveat on rosette choice: the STRETTO rosette is the exception, it wants a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation.

Yes, measure it. Backset is a required selection on the Modern Square passage set, either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and those are the two backsets you will find in North American door prep. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. The standard latch shipped is the 2-3/8 inch one, so 2-3/4 inch has to be called out.

A passage set does not lock at all. The Emtek Modern Square passage knobset is non-keyed, latching only, both knobs always turn. That is the right function for a hall, a closet, or a pantry. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy set with a thumbturn, and for an exterior or lockable office door you need a keyed function, which this is not.

This one is residential. The Modern Square crystal knobset is a tubular lockset built for the home, brass construction, decorative glass knob. On a commercial corridor, classroom, or anything getting institutional traffic, go with a cylindrical Grade 1 or Grade 2 passage lock instead: the Schlage D10S is Grade 1 heavy duty passage, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 passage/closet with a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage knob.

The Emtek Modern Square passage set handles up to 2-1/4 inches, which covers most thick doors. If you need a commercial-grade option on a thick door, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches as well, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 runs 1-3/8 to 2 inches. Most Grade 2 and Grade 3 knobs, including the Dexter C2000 passage and the Pamex FTF30, stop at 1-3/4 inches.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is a residential tubular knobset. For a fire-rated opening, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a passage/closet latch function and a fire rating, supplied with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with a fire rating that covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both perform the same passage function - always free latch, no key, no lock.

Dummy knobs look nearly identical on the door face but have no latch and no moving spindle - they are surface-mounted pulls for an inactive leaf or a closet slab. The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is a working passage set that includes the latch and strike plate. Dummy knobs to keep separate from it include the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob, and the Omnia 434/0 and 458/0 single dummy latchsets in solid brass.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is a tubular, non-keyed passage knob in brass, catalogued for residential use. When a spec calls for a graded cylindrical passage knob instead, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage/hall/closet knob lock with the Orbit knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with the Global knob covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are function-equivalent to the Emtek at the door - latch retracts from either side, no locking - but they are institutional cylindrical knobs rather than a decorative brass set with selectable rosettes.

No. The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is non-keyed with a passage function, so it has no privacy locking at all. For a bedroom or bathroom, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is a privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, the Pamex FTF is a Grade 3 Baron knob in privacy function, the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 privacy ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim over the same door range.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is non-keyed, so it cannot be keyed for an entry or office door. Keyed knob options include the Cal-Royal BER00, a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch; the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo, a Grade 3 keyed entry knob with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike over the same door range; the Corbin Russwin CK4851, an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder and the Global knob; and the Sargent 8XG04, a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

No. The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is a bored tubular knobset that installs in a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with its own latch and strike. Knob trim for an exit device is a separate part: the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the B design from the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function from the ED-500 Series.

It ships complete. The Modern Square passage set includes both knobs, the latch, and the strike plate, so nothing else is needed to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate is available in round corner or square corner to match the existing mortise in your door edge.

CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, a clean face on the trim instead of visible fasteners. Choosing CF on the Modern Square passage set also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. If you want the concealed look on a feature door or a whole floor of matching openings, pick CF. Otherwise the standard latch or the standalone 28 degree rotation latch are the other two choices.

Seven finishes cover it: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Six rosette shapes go with them, Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern, so the trim can follow the door style rather than the knob. Split finish is also a text option on the order if you need one side different from the other.

For a decorative brass passage knob in the same residential class, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage set, which comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike, are the closest equivalents. The Omnia 434/PA is a solid brass traditional egg knob latchset with a 3 inch projection. The Bravura Dallas with rectangle trim is a Grade 2 passage knobset in US4 satin brass if you want a squared-off rose. The Emtek differs in the glass knob itself, brass rosettes, and six rosette shapes to choose from.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is a brass set ordered by finish, rosette, and latch style. For a plain hall and closet door where the look does not need to be specified, the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships as an interior hall/closet lock with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, the Pamex FTF is a Grade 3 Baron knob lockset in passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 non-clutching passage ball knob for the same door range. All three latch and release from both sides with no key, matching the Emtek's function.

Yes. The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is a brass knobset in a contemporary square shape, offered in finishes including Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel - Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). On the traditional side, the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection in passage function, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob uses the 5058 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage lock comes preconfigured with a 5048 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset, and full lip strike. Those are rounded historic profiles rather than the Emtek's square modern knob.

The Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob lock in the MK Series and the Arrow RK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with a ball knob in the RK Series, both for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set covers the same door thickness and the same always-free passage function, but is a brass set with a square modern knob and a choice of rosette - Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, or Urban Modern - and a choice of standard, 28 degree rotation, or CF mechanism latch that hides the rosette screws.

They serve different needs. The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is a non-keyed, non-electronic brass knobset that never restricts entry. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch, so it controls who gets through by code rather than leaving the door always free.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is designated for residential use and is ordered as a decorative brass set. Commercial series that carry matched functions across an opening schedule include the Sargent 6 Line, with the 6G04 Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock; the Sargent 8X Line, with the 8XG04 Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock at a 2-3/4 inch backset; the Corbin Russwin CK4400 Series, with the CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch; and the BEST 8K Series, with a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder entrance knob lock.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set can be ordered with a Modern Rectangular Rosette or a round Disk, Modern, Neos, or Urban Modern rosette in brass. Among graded passage knobsets, the Bravura Dallas is a Grade 2 passage knobset with rectangle trim in a US4 Satin Brass finish, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim. Satin Brass (US4) is also one of the Emtek finishes, so trim shape and knob profile are the deciding differences.

Yes. The Modern Square knob takes any brass rosette, and six shapes are on offer, Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Modern Rosette, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. That lets you run one knob and one finish through a property while varying the trim by room, or standardize on a single rosette across every opening.

The Emtek Modern Square Knob passage set is a single passage function and is non-keyed. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is sold as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, pairing functions in one order. Choose the Emtek where the finish and rosette are being matched across the openings, and the F500 combo where one carton needs to cover a mixed set of doors.
