Emtek Modern Designer Brass Knobset - Freestone Knob, Passage Set

Yes, if the door has the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. The Freestone passage set fits doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick with that bore, and the latch is adjustable between the two common backsets, 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches. One exception on prep: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation.

Passage means no lock at all. The Emtek Freestone knobset is non-keyed and has no thumbturn, so both knobs always turn and the door just latches. It's the right choice for a hall, closet, or a door between rooms. For a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy function with a thumbturn instead, such as the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob.

Four choices. Backset is required, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. Then finish, eight of them: 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). Then the rosette, six shapes: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Then the latch, either Standard, the 28 Degree Rotation Latch, or the CF Mechanism, which hides the rosette screws and includes the 28 degree latch. There's also a free-text door thickness field and a split finish field if you want different finishes inside and out.

It ships as a complete set, latch and strike plate included. Nothing else to buy for a standard prepped door. The latch faceplate is available in round or square corner, so match it to whatever is already routed into your door edge.

No. The Freestone is a residential brass knobset, so it suits units, model homes, and interior doors where the look matters. For corridors, stairwells, and other traffic that gets an ANSI grade written into the spec, go with a graded commercial cylindrical lock instead, like the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock or the Schlage D10S Grade 1 passage latch. If the opening is fire rated, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset carries a fire rating.

Not on the published range for the Freestone passage set, which is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. For a thicker slab, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon X101 passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inches.

Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole. 2-3/8 inches is typical on residential doors and 2-3/4 on wider commercial stiles. The Freestone passage set ships with the 2-3/8 latch as standard, so you have to call out 2-3/4 on the order if that's what your door is prepped for.

The Emtek Freestone knobset is a residential brass knobset. For a fire rated opening in passage function, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock in passage/closet latch function with a 2-3/4 inch backset and carries a fire rating, and the Falcon X101 is the heavy duty Grade 1 version, also fire rated, with an interchangeable core and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with the Orbit knob for the same passage function.

Anything not in passage function. The Freestone is a non-keyed passage set - both knobs always turn and there is no lock. The Baldwin Estate 5000 with 5148 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas are privacy/bed/bath knobs with a locking function for a bedroom or bath. The Omnia 434/0 egg knob and the Bravura Biloxi are dummy knobs with no latch at all, for a fixed or inactive leaf. The Cal-Royal BER00 and the Callan Edgewood are entrance function knobs, keyed. Substituting any of these for a hall or closet door changes how the door operates.

CF means the rosette mounts with no exposed screws, so you get a clean face on the trim. It's a look decision, not a function one. Choosing CF on the Freestone passage set also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it, so the knob turns a shorter arc than a standard latch. If you don't care about visible screws, the standard latch is the plain option.

The Freestone knob can be ordered on any of Emtek's brass rosettes, and there's a split finish option if you want one finish on the hall side and another inside the room. Across a project, the eight finishes run from Flat Black and Oil Rubbed Bronze through Polished Chrome, Polished Nickel, Satin Nickel, Satin Brass, French Antique, and Unlacquered Brass, so you can hold one finish and vary the rosette shape door to door.

Material and configurability. The Freestone is solid brass, in a contemporary urban modern style, and you build it from eight finishes and six rosette shapes with an optional screwless rosette. The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob is a preconfigured hall and closet set that ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike, nothing to specify. If the door is behind a mechanical room and nobody looks at it, the Polo does the job; if the hardware is part of the interior design, the Freestone is the one you spec.

They share the passage function but they are different products. The Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical 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 non-keyed and both rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek Freestone is a residential brass tubular passage knobset ordered with a rosette and finish selection and covering the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. On a hall or closet door all three operate the same way; the Arrow sets are cylindrical chassis with a fixed ball or MK knob, the Freestone is a configured designer brass set.

Yes. The Freestone is a designer brass knobset ordered with a choice of six rosettes and a latch option. For a plainer passage knob, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 knob lockset in passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike, and the Bravura Albany is a Grade 2 passage knobset with round trim. All three are passage function like the Freestone, without the rosette and finish configuration.

The Freestone passage set is non-keyed, so a bedroom, bath, or exterior door on the same run needs a different function. For privacy, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy is Grade 3 for the same range. For a keyed opening, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is Grade 2 keyed, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder and a Global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Matching within one of those peer series keeps the knob shape consistent across the functions.

The Freestone is an Urban Modern contemporary brass knob offered in eight finishes including Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and Flat Black (US19). For a traditional look in solid brass, the Omnia 434/PA is an egg-shaped knob latchset in passage/hall/closet function with solid brass construction and a 3 inch projection. The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset with full lip strike are also passage function. The difference is the knob and rose styling, not how the set works at the door.

The Freestone passage set includes a latch and strike plate and is sold as a complete set. On a fixed panel, an inactive leaf, or a closet door held by a roller catch or magnet, a dummy trim is the right part instead. The Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim cylindrical knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty knob, and the Omnia 458/0 is a single dummy knob latchset with a 2-3/8 inch backset in solid brass. Dummy trim mounts as a pull only, with no latch to retract.

The Emtek Freestone is ordered with the backset specified, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, and the standard latch is for a 2-3/8 inch backset. If a single part number that covers both is preferred, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 200P-CP Polo passage knob ships with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike.

The Freestone is a non-keyed passage set - the latch retracts from either side and never locks. Where a door needs to secure itself without issuing keys, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, covering doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch. Where the door should stay locked outside and free egress inside, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom version with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

Tubular, the standard bored cylindrical type. It drops into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an edge bore for the latch, which is how nearly every interior residential door is already prepped. No mortise pocket to rout.

The Freestone passage set is a working latching set, not a dummy. If you need a non-latching pull for a false door or an inactive leaf, order a dummy trim: the BEST 6K single dummy, the Schlage A170 single dummy, or the Omnia 434/0 solid brass egg knob dummy are all dummy-function knobs. Keep the finish family consistent with whatever you used on the latching doors.
