Emtek Modern Designer Brass Knobset - Square Knob, Dummy (Pair)

A dummy knob is a fixed pull. It does not turn, there is no latch, no spindle mechanism, and no lock. If the door has to stay shut on its own you want a passage set with a latch instead, such as the Schlage D10S passage knob or the Dexter C2000 passage knob. Use the Emtek Square dummy where the door is held by a roller catch, a ball catch, or a magnetic catch.

It ships as a pair, one knob for each face of the door, sold as a complete set with its rosettes. If you only need a single knob on one side, a single dummy such as the BEST 6K single dummy trim or the Omnia 434/0 single dummy is the right form.

The Emtek Modern Designer Brass Square Knob is a dummy set supplied as a pair, so both faces of the door get a knob. If only one face needs trim, the Schlage A170 is a single dummy trim, Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob lock in the A Series, and the BEST 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim in the 6K Series. Both are single dummy, meaning you get trim for one side rather than a matched pair.

A dummy set is fixed trim with no latching mechanism, which is why the Emtek Square Knob is used on closet false doors and inactive leaves. For a door that must latch, passage function is the direct step up: the Omnia 434/PA is a passage knob latchset in solid brass, the Baldwin Estate 5011 is a Colonial passage knob with the 5058 rose, and the Pamex FTF30 Baron is a Grade 3 passage knob lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Modern Designer Brass Square Knob is designated residential and is surface mounted with no door prep. Openings that call for an ANSI/BHMA grade on the schedule are better served by graded cylindrical hardware such as the Schlage D10S Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob lock in the D Series, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core and a fire rating, or the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with 2-3/4 inch backset.

Seven: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Note that Unlacquered Brass is a living finish and will patina over time, so it will not stay matched to a lacquered set. There is also a split finish option if you need a different finish on each face of the door.

Six brass rosette styles are offered: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Modern, Neos, Square, and Urban Modern. Pick the one that matches the rosettes already on your passage and privacy sets so a closet or French door reads the same as the rest of the openings.

It is classified residential, solid brass, contemporary styling, and carries no ANSI grade. For rated or high traffic commercial openings look at graded cylindrical hardware instead, such as the Grade 1 Corbin Russwin CK4310 or the Grade 2 Falcon W101, which is listed as fire rated. The Emtek Square is for interior residential and light multi-family work where the look drives the choice.

Yes, within the Emtek brass collection. The Square knob is a tubular-type knobset design offered across functions, so you can run the same square knob and the same rosette on your passage and privacy doors and use the dummy pair only where the door does not latch. Keep the finish code consistent across all of them.

The Emtek Square Knob dummy is non-keyed with no locking function, so a bath or bedroom door needs a separate privacy knob. Privacy options include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Square Knob dummy is a contemporary square-shaped brass knob. If traditional shaping suits the door better, the Omnia 434/0 is an egg-shaped single dummy interior lockset in solid brass, the Omnia 442/00 is a traditional single dummy knob latchset with a 2-5/8 inch rose, and the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA Series for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Keyed and entry knobs are often pulled by mistake because the trim looks similar. The Emtek Square Knob dummy is non-keyed with no bore prep required, while the Kwikset 400P-CP is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob shipped with a round corner adjustable latch and strike, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder. All three require a latch bore and strike prep the dummy set does not.

The Emtek Square Knob dummy pair is ordered on its own with a choice of brass rosette. If a single series across functions matters more than the finish range, Bravura offers the Biloxi Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim alongside the Albany and Lynchburg Grade 2 passage knobsets, and the Dexter C2000 Series covers Grade 2 passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom knobs on a common platform for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Modern Designer Brass Square Knob dummy is rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker leaves, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob 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.
