Emtek Modern Designer Brass Knobset - Freestone Knob, Privacy Set

Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bore hole. If it's 2-3/8 inches you're on the standard backset, which is what the Freestone latch ships as by default. If it's 2-3/4 inches, which is common on wider commercial-width stiles and some older residential doors, you have to call that out on the order. Backset is a required selection, so it gets set either way at the time you order.

It's a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. For a straight swap into an existing 2-1/8 inch bored door you don't need to order anything else. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so match that to the mortise already cut in the door edge and you avoid patching the jamb-side prep.

No. Freestone is a privacy function, meaning a thumbturn on the inside and an emergency release outside. There's no cylinder and no key. It's a bedroom and bathroom knob. For a keyed opening you want an entry or keyed-entrance function instead, such as the Deltana 6171 Round Knob Entry or the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob in the keyed configuration.

It's a residential-duty tubular lockset, and that's the right read for it. For a rental unit interior door or a single-family bedroom it's fine. If you're standardizing an office, school, or multi-family corridor where you need a graded product, look at the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 Privacy Cylindrical Ball Knob or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 Privacy knob instead. Both are privacy function like the Freestone.

The Emtek Freestone knobset in privacy function is a brass, non-keyed tubular knob set for bed and bath doors. If a different look is wanted for the same opening, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers the same privacy/bed/bath function and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is another privacy-function knob. The Freestone is designed around brass rosettes and Emtek's finish range including Flat Black (US19), Satin Brass (US4) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL).

The Freestone knobset in privacy function has a bed and bath thumbturn lock. A hall, closet or pantry door takes a passage knob instead: the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob lockset is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 and non-keyed, and the Arrow MK01 passage cylindrical knob lock is Grade 2, non-keyed, over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range. For a matching decorative look in passage, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a solid-trim option.

The Freestone knobset in privacy function is non-keyed, so an exterior or lockable office door needs a keyed set instead. The Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob lock is Grade 3 with a Kwikset keyway over the same door range, and the Pamex FTF Baron entrance/office knob lockset is Grade 3. For a decorative brass entry knob, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

The Emtek Freestone knobset lists a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch in its specifications and a fit range of 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard door prep. Where a thicker door is confirmed, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Of those, only the Deltana 6112 is a privacy/bed/bath function.

CF gets you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from both faces. It's the option people choose when the hardware is on show in a finished space. Selecting CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it, so you're not specifying that separately. If exposed screws don't bother you, the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on its own are the other two choices.

A 28 degree rotation latch retracts on a shorter turn of the knob than a conventional latch. Less wrist travel to open the door, which matters on a knob more than on a lever because a knob has to be gripped. On the Freestone you can order it as the latch by itself, or take the CF mechanism which includes it. The third choice is the standard latch.

Seven finishes are offered: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). There's also a split finish option if you want the interior face different from the exterior, which is how people handle a hallway in one finish and a bedroom in another. Note that unlacquered brass has no coating, so it will patina over time rather than staying bright.

Yes, and it's the main styling decision here. The Freestone knob can be ordered with any brass rosette, and six are offered: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Round rosettes drop into the standard bore without further prep. If you go rectangular or square, check the trim clearance on narrow stiles and against adjacent door stops before you commit the order.

Freestone is a contemporary, urban-modern shape. If the room calls for something traditional in the same solid-brass decorative class, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with the R027 rose or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob are the traditional-profile equivalents. The Deltana covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. All three are privacy function, so the door prep conversation stays the same.

No. The Freestone privacy knobset is a working tubular lock sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate. A dummy knob is surface-mounted trim with no latch and no locking action, used on a fixed or inactive leaf. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, and the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset is solid brass. Those pair with a privacy set on an active leaf, they do not replace one.

The Emtek Freestone knobset is a residential brass knob set in privacy function. High-traffic institutional openings are usually specified with heavy-duty cylindrical hardware: the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch; the Schlage D10S passage knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty with an Orbit knob; the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset; and the BEST 8K entrance function knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty. Those are keyed or passage functions, not privacy, so a bed or bath opening still calls for a privacy set.

The Freestone knobset is an Urban Modern brass knob offered with six rosette choices including Disk, Square, Neos and Modern Rectangular, and a CF mechanism with no exposed rosette screws. Where a plainer privacy knob suits the unit, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob lockset is Grade 3 over the same door range. Both are single-configuration privacy sets rather than a rosette and finish program.

They serve different openings. The Emtek Freestone privacy knobset is non-keyed with a bed and bath thumbturn function. 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, which controls entry by code rather than giving an occupant a thumbturn on the inside. A bath or bedroom door calling for privacy function takes a privacy set such as the Freestone or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob.

Both are privacy-function knob sets. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob is preconfigured with a 5148 rose, a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. The Emtek Freestone is configured to order: backset selected as 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, one of six brass rosettes, a standard latch, a 28 degree rotation latch, or the CF mechanism, and finishes from Flat Black (US19) through Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14).

Yes, brass throughout. Both the material and the substrate are brass, not plated zinc with a brass look. That's what carries the Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) finish option, since a raw living finish only works on solid brass stock.

Privacy function is what this set is. Bedrooms and baths get the privacy version with the thumbturn; hall and closet doors take a passage knob with no locking at all, which is a separate order in the same Freestone family and the same finish and rosette combination, so the doors still match down the hall. Specify the same backset and rosette across the run and the whole floor takes one prep.

The Emtek Freestone privacy knobset is ordered per opening, with backset, rosette, latch and finish selected each time. Where one uniform builder-grade knob is acceptable across a unit, 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. The Freestone path is the one to take when the rosette and brass finish need to match other Emtek trim in the unit.
