Emtek 5107.BN.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Emtek Bern knob available with a 2-3/4 inch backset, or only 2-3/8?
Both. Backset is a required selection on the Bern passage set, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch shipped is the 2-3/8 inch; if your existing bore centers 2-3/4 inches back from the door edge, specify that backset when you order or the latch will not reach the strike.
2) What is a passage knob and is it the right function for a bedroom door?
A passage set latches the door shut but does not lock, either side always retracts the latch. The Bern is non-keyed passage, so it suits halls, closets and pantries. For a bedroom or bath you want privacy function with a push-button or thumbturn instead. Emtek's Bern is offered in privacy as well, and among other brands the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob and the Dexter C2000 privacy knob cover the same job.
3) Is the Emtek Bern knob rated for commercial use in an office building?
The Bern is a residential brass knobset, tubular type, and it is built for homes and light residential traffic. For a commercial corridor or an office you want a graded cylindrical lock: the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage knob, the Schlage D10S is Grade 1 heavy duty passage, and the Falcon W101 is Grade 2 passage. Those are the ones that hold up to the cycle counts a commercial opening sees.
4) Is a dummy knob the same thing as the Bern passage set?
No. The Bern passage set is sold complete with a latch and strike plate and the knob turns to retract that latch. A dummy knob has no latch and no moving mechanism - it is surface mounted trim for a door held by a ball catch or roller, or for the inactive leaf of a pair. If that is the opening, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy, or the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset are the right parts. Ordering a passage set for a door with no latch bore leaves you with hardware that will not mount.
5) What is a direct alternative to the Emtek Bern passage knob for a hall or closet door that needs an ANSI grade?
The Emtek Bern passage knobset is a residential brass tubular passage set, so it carries no ANSI/BHMA grade. When a hall or closet opening has to be graded, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob that fits 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob. Both are non-keyed passage function, the same operation as the Bern - knob always turns, latch retracts, nothing locks.
6) I need the same Bern knob look on a bedroom or bathroom door that has to lock. What do I use?
The Bern knobset is passage function only - non-keyed, no locking. For a bed or bath door, a privacy knob is the correct part: the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, or the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Order the Bern for the halls and closets and pair a privacy set on the bedroom and bath openings.
7) What is the closest keyed entry knob when the opening the Bern was specified for turns out to need a key?
The Bern knobset is non-keyed, so a keyed opening needs a different set. Comparable entry knobs include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike; the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
8) The Bern passage knob is going on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches. What passage knob covers that?
The Emtek Bern passage knobset is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker slab, the Falcon X101 heavy duty Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and takes an interchangeable core, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Both are passage function, so door operation matches what the Bern was specified to do.
9) Which passage knob should be used instead of the Bern on a fire rated door?
The Bern passage knobset is a residential brass set with no fire rating. Where the opening is fire rated, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock is a passage/closet latch function set with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset is also fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both keep the same passage operation.
10) Can the Emtek Bern passage knob be used on a classroom or storeroom door?
No. The Bern is a non-keyed passage set - the knob always turns and the door never latches locked, which is the opposite of what a classroom or storeroom opening needs. For those functions use a keyed knob lock: the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 classroom cylindrical ball knob lock, the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset, or the Sargent 6G04 Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with single cylinder.
11) What is a cheaper passage knob that will work in the same door prep as the Emtek Bern?
Any standard tubular passage knob will land in the same bored prep. The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 passage knob, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim. What you give up against the Bern is the solid brass construction and the rosette and finish range.
12) Do I need to buy a latch and strike separately with the Emtek Bern knobset?
No, it ships as a complete set with the latch and strike plate included. You choose the latch faceplate corner, round or square, to match the mortise already cut in your door edge. Knobs, rosettes, latch and strike all come in one box, so the only extra you might need are longer screws for a thicker door.
13) What is the CF mechanism option on the Emtek Bern knob and should I pick it?
CF is the concealed fastener version, the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face of the door. It is the choice when the hardware is on show in a finished space. CF ships with the 28 degree rotation latch. If you do not need the clean rose, the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on their own are the other two builds.
14) Can I get the Emtek Bern knob with a square rose instead of a round one?
Yes. The Bern knob can be ordered on any brass rosette, and six shapes are offered: Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square and Urban Modern. Square and Modern Rectangular are the ones people pick to match rectangular hinges and modern trim; the Disk and Modern roses are round.
15) What finishes does the Emtek Bern passage knob come in, and will unlacquered brass patina?
Eight finishes: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). US3NL has no clear coat, so it darkens and patinas with handling, which is the point of it. Oil Rubbed Bronze is also a living finish. If you want the look to stay put, Polished Nickel Lifetime or Satin Nickel are the stable picks.
16) Can I match the Bern knob across a whole house on doors of different thicknesses?
Yes, and door thickness is an order field on the Bern set, so you enter the actual thickness of each opening and the set is built to it. That is how you keep one knob, one rosette and one finish across a house where the original doors and a later addition are not the same. Same applies across a building of units where you want the hardware to read consistent.
17) What is a simpler passage knob than the Emtek Bern for a rental unit or back of house door?
The Bern is a solid brass designer knobset offered in eight finishes and six rosette styles with an optional CF mechanism that hides the rosette screws. Where the appearance is not the point, plainer passage knobs include the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Albany passage knobset, Grade 2. All operate as passage sets the same way.
18) Which other solid brass passage knobs compare to the Emtek Bern for a high end interior?
The Bern is a contemporary solid brass knobset. On the traditional side, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is solid brass with a 3 inch projection and passage function, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob comes with the 5058 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore 2 inch passage knob comes with the 5048 rose, a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. Sure-Loc also offers the Modern Bergen round knob. The difference is styling: the Bern is contemporary, the Omnia and Baldwin knobs are traditional shapes.
19) Does a knob trim for an exit device work as a substitute for the Emtek Bern passage knob?
No. The Bern is a bored tubular knobset that mounts in a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with its own latch and strike. Parts like the Sargent 28C-KNOB exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 knob trim in storeroom function are trim for an exit device chassis - they do not latch a door on their own and will not fit a standard bored prep. If the door has a panic device, those are the correct parts; if it has a 2-1/8 inch bore, the Bern or another bored passage set is.
20) The Bern latch is 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. What if the existing prep is something else?
The Bern passage set ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, which covers standard residential and standard commercial preps. If the door was prepped for a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 passage/closet knob lock is supplied at 2-3/4 inch, and the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom knob lock is 2-3/4 inch. For a residential retrofit where the backset is unconfirmed, the Kwikset 200P-CP Polo passage knob and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob both ship with adjustable backsets, the F500 with dual strikes.
21) What replaces the Bern passage knob on a door that needs code access without keys?
The Bern is a mechanical non-keyed passage knobset with no access control. Where the door needs a code, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, requiring no power and no wiring.
22) How does the Emtek Bern passage knob differ from the Arrow MK01 and RK01 passage knobs?
All three are non-keyed passage knobs for hall and closet doors. The Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage knob lock in the MK series and the Arrow RK01 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock with a ball knob in the RK series, both for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Bern is a residential brass knobset in eight finishes with a choice of six rosettes and an optional CF mechanism that leaves no exposed screws on the rosette. The Arrows are graded commercial-style knobs; the Bern is a designer brass set for the same door thickness range.
23) Can I mix finishes on the Emtek Bern knob, one on each side of the door?
Yes, split finish is an order option on the Bern set. Enter the two finishes you want in the split finish field when ordering, for example a black knob on the corridor side and satin brass facing into the room. It is the usual way to keep hardware consistent on both sides of a wall when two rooms use different palettes.
24) Is the Emtek Bern knob solid brass or plated zinc?
Brass, both the material and the substrate, which is why it is sold under Emtek's Brass collection. That matters for a coastal or high humidity install and it is what lets the unlacquered version patina rather than flake. The styling is contemporary rather than traditional.
25) Does the Emtek Bern passage knob take a key or need wiring?
Neither. It is non-keyed and non-electronic, a purely mechanical latch with no cylinder, so there is nothing to key and no wire to pull. If the opening needs a key, look at an entrance function knob such as the Corbin Russwin CK4851 or the Cal-Royal BER00 with a Kwikset keyway instead.
