Emtek 5107.LAU.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which backset do I order for the Emtek Laurent knob, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Both are offered and backset is a required choice on the Laurent passage set. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: 2-3/8 inches is the usual residential dimension, 2-3/4 inches shows up on heavier or commercial-style doors. Get it wrong and the spindle won't line up with the knob, so measure the existing hole before ordering.
2) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek Laurent passage knob work?
Not per the Laurent's stated range, which tops out at 1-3/4 inches. For a thicker slab, look at the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob or the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset, both of which cover doors up to 2 inches; the Falcon X101 goes to 2-1/4 inches. The Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry set also covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches if you want a decorative brass look rather than a commercial one.
3) What is the closest non-keyed passage knob to the Emtek Laurent if the door needs an ANSI grade?
The Emtek Laurent knob is a residential brass passage knobset with a tubular lock type, sold non-keyed. Where a graded passage knob is called for, the Schlage D10S Orbit knob is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Global knob is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage/closet cylindrical lock. Both are passage function like the Laurent, so the door swings free from either side with no locking, but they are graded cylindrical locks rather than a decorative brass set.
4) Which passage knob should I use instead of the Emtek Laurent on a fire rated opening?
The Emtek Laurent is a residential brass passage knobset. For a fire rated opening, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage/closet knob lock with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating covering doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick. Both carry the passage latch function, so the knob turns freely and nothing locks.
5) I need the same Laurent knob for a bedroom or bathroom - what takes its place?
The Laurent knobset is passage function, which has no locking at all, so it does not suit a bed or bath door. For that opening the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose is a privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is a privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, and the Pamex FTF Baron knob is a Grade 3 privacy lockset for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
6) What do I order instead of the Laurent passage knob when the door has to lock with a key?
The Laurent knobset is non-keyed with a passage function, so it accepts no cylinder. For a keyed opening, the Kwikset 400P Polo is a keyed entry knob with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike, the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 entry/office keyed ball knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 Global knob is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
7) Is a dummy knob the same as the Emtek Laurent passage knob?
No. The Laurent is a passage set that includes a latch and strike plate and actually retracts a latch when the knob is turned. A dummy knob is fixed trim with no latch - the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed knob, and the Omnia 458/0 is a single dummy knob latchset. Those suit an inactive leaf or a closet door held by a ball catch, not a door that needs the latch to hold it shut.
8) What replaces the Laurent passage knob on a storeroom or classroom door?
Passage function on the Laurent means the latch always retracts from both sides, which does not secure a storeroom or classroom. The Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Dexter C2000 classroom ball knob is a Grade 2 keyed classroom lock for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
9) What comes in the box with the Emtek Laurent passage knobset?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed for a door that already has standard bore prep. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge if you're replacing existing hardware.
10) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek knobs and should I pick it?
CF is Emtek's concealed-fastener mechanism: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face of the rosette, so you get a clean look on both sides. Choosing CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. If you don't mind visible screws, the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on its own are the other two choices. The 28 degree latch reduces how far you have to turn the knob before the latch retracts.
11) Can I match the Laurent knob to the rest of the hardware in my house?
Eight finishes are available on the Laurent knob: 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). All are on a solid brass base. Unlacquered brass will patina over time rather than staying bright, which matters if you're standardizing a whole floor of doors and want them to age together.
12) I need a cheaper builder-grade passage knob for closets, not solid brass. What else is there?
For high-count closet and hall doors, the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob is a Grade 3 lockset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with the 6AL latch and round corner strike. The Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob and Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage knob are the step up if the doors see real traffic. The Laurent is worth spending on where the knob is seen; these are for the doors nobody looks at.
13) Does the STRETTO rosette need different door prep than the other Emtek rosettes?
Yes, and it matters before you drill. The STRETTO rosette calls for a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for thumbturn privacy, unlike the standard 2-1/8 inch single bore the rest of the brass rosettes use. On a passage function you have no thumbturn, so the standard 2-1/8 inch prep applies with the Disk, Modern, Modern Rectangular, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern rosettes.
14) What is a simpler brass passage knob than the Emtek Laurent?
The Laurent passage set is configured across finish, rosette and latch, including a CF mechanism that leaves no exposed screws on the rosette. For a solid brass passage knob ordered without that configuration, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, in passage/hall/closet function. The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is another passage/hall/closet knob set. The trade is styling and configurability rather than function - all three release the latch from either side with no key or turn.
15) Which passage knobs match the Laurent's 2-3/8 inch backset without ordering a backset option?
The Laurent ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset selected at order. Passage knobs that come fixed at 2-3/8 include the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose, which is a passage lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. Where the prep is 2-3/4, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 passage/closet knob lock is built to that backset. The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike, and the 200P-CP with a round corner adjustable latch.
16) What Grade 2 passage knobs work as a substitute for the Laurent across a building?
For standardizing hall and closet doors, the Grade 2 non-keyed passage knobs include the Arrow MK01 and the ball knob Arrow RK01, both covering doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Global knob, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg round trim passage knobsets. All carry the same passage/hall/closet function as the Laurent, which is non-keyed brass residential trim.
17) Can I use the Emtek Laurent as trim on an exit device?
No. The Laurent is a tubular bored knobset that goes into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with its own latch and strike. Exit device trim is a different part - the Sargent 28C-KNOB is knob and rose trim for the 28 Series sized for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only in the 7800 Series, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is storeroom function knob trim for the ED-500 Series. Those mount to a specific exit device and do not stand alone in a bored door prep.
18) What rosette shapes can I get with the Emtek Laurent knob?
Six rosettes pair with the Laurent knob: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Any brass rosette in the line can be ordered with it, so you can run rectangular rosettes on one set of doors and round on another and keep the same knob throughout.
19) Can I get an Emtek Laurent knob that just sits on the door and doesn't turn, for a closet or a false door?
The Laurent passage set is a working latchset, both knobs turn and the latch retracts. For a non-functioning knob on an inactive leaf or a false door you need a dummy, and the peers we carry for that include the Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 solid brass single dummy knob sets, the Bravura Biloxi Grade 2 dummy, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim.
20) What is the difference between the Emtek Laurent and a Grade 3 residential knob lock?
The Laurent is a brass residential contemporary knobset in passage function, non-keyed, with a choice of six rosette styles including Disk, Modern, Neos, Square, Modern Rectangular and Urban Modern. Grade 3 residential knobs cover other functions - the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 passage lockset for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim, and the Delaney Belton and Callan Canova are Grade 3 entrance knobsets. The Laurent differs in offering rosette and finish selection rather than a fixed trim.
21) What is a good keyed and passage combination for a whole door opening instead of piecing together Laurent sets?
The Laurent is ordered as a single passage set with latch and strike included. Where an exterior door needs both a keyed lock and matching interior trim in one carton, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. The Laurent stays the choice when the finish and rosette have to match interior doors already running Emtek brass trim.
