Emtek Porcelain Knobs with Threaded Rod (Two Knobs Per Set)

Just the knobs. The Emtek 8000 porcelain knob set is two knobs and a threaded rod, nothing else. There's no latch, no rose, no strike, no cylinder in the box. You're buying the decorative knob pair to mount on a mechanism you already have or are ordering separately. If you need a complete working set out of one box, look at something like the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob, which ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike.

The threaded rod is the spindle that ties the two porcelain knobs together through the door so turning one turns the other. Emtek supplies it with the pair because knob spacing depends on how thick your door is. That's also why there's a Door Thickness field to fill in when you order: give the actual measured thickness of your door and the rod gets matched to it.

Emtek's porcelain knob sets are classed as residential, not commercial. For a rated opening, a school corridor, a healthcare facility or anywhere the spec calls for a graded lock, this isn't the part. Go to a cylindrical knob lock with a stated grade instead: the Falcon X101 is Grade 1 heavy duty passage with a fire rating, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 passage, and the Sargent 8XG04 is Grade 1 storeroom with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Porcelain knobs belong on interior residential doors, historic-look renovations, and high-end multi-family units where appearance drives the choice.

The Emtek 8000 porcelain knobs are a residential knob pair with a threaded rod and no privacy mechanism. For a bed or bath door that needs a thumbturn, the Pamex FTF FTF10 is a Grade 3 Baron knob lockset in privacy function for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose covers the same function in a decorative estate line.

The Emtek 8000 porcelain set is two knobs and a threaded rod - the knob pair and the spindle that joins them, in porcelain on brass. The Bravura Albany BV335002 is a complete passage knobset with round trim, rated Grade 2. If the door has no bore prep or existing latch, a full knobset like the Albany carries its own latch and trim; the porcelain knob pair is the decorative half that mounts to hardware already in the door.

For a hall or closet door needing a working latch, the Pamex FTF30 is a Grade 3 Baron knob lockset in passage function for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob lock over the same thickness range. The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike. The Emtek 8000 porcelain set is the knob pair and threaded rod, so the latching hardware comes from elsewhere on that door.

For a keyed entry, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch with a round corner adjustable latch and strike, and the Master Lock BC01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry biscuit knob. In a heavier line, the BEST 8K is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder entrance knob lock and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. The Emtek 8000 porcelain knobs carry no cylinder.

Among knob locks that state a wider range, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Lockey 3830 keyless combination knob lock covers 1 3/16 to 2 inch. The Emtek 8000 porcelain set takes a door thickness entry with the order so the threaded rod is cut to the opening.

The Emtek 8000 porcelain knobs are designated residential. Where a fire rating is called out on the drawing, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a passage/closet latch function, 2-3/4 inch backset and a fire rating, and the Falcon X101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with an interchangeable core, also fire rated.

Ten metal finishes are offered, and each one is available with either the Ebony or the Ice White porcelain: Flat Black (US19), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), Satin Brass (US4), and French Antique (US7). For a whole-house or whole-building match, note that Unlacquered Brass is a living finish that will patina over time, while the Lifetime finishes are the ones that hold their appearance.

The porcelain set is sold as two knobs per set, so it's built for a door you operate from both sides. For a one-sided application, a dummy knob is the right part: the Omnia 434/0 and Omnia 442/00 are solid brass single dummy knobs, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim, and the BEST 6K single dummy trim is another Grade 2 option.

Door thickness. There's a field for it on the order, and it drives the threaded rod length that ties the two knobs together. Measure the actual door rather than assuming: 1-3/4 inch is the standard commercial thickness and 1-3/8 inch the common older interior door, but renovation and solid-core doors run off those numbers often enough to matter. There's also a free-text comments field if you need to pass along anything else about the opening.

Different categories of part. A cylindrical knob lockset like the Dexter C2000 or the Pamex FTF Baron is a complete unit: chassis, latch, strike, and a stated function such as passage, privacy or entry, sized to a door thickness range. The Emtek porcelain set is decorative trim, two knobs joined by a threaded rod, meant to give a residential opening a glass and porcelain look. If your priority is a graded working lock, buy the cylindrical set. If your priority is the appearance of the knob on a residential interior door, this is the one.

The Emtek 8000 porcelain knobs are a residential decorative knob pair in ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze, Satin Nickel, Flat Black and Polished Chrome, with Ebony and Ice White knob styles. For units where a stated ANSI grade drives the spec, the Dexter C2000 line covers passage, privacy, entry/office and classroom at Grade 2 across doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch under one series, and the Cal-Royal BER series covers entrance/office and privacy at Grade 3 over the same thickness range. Those sets standardize by function; the Emtek set standardizes the look.

The Emtek 8000 is a porcelain knob pair on brass in Ebony or Ice White. In plain metal at a similar traditional profile, the Arrow RK01 is a Grade 2 passage ball knob lock for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, the Pamex FT3 Saturn is a Grade 3 knob lockset over the same range, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose keeps a traditional colonial shape.

No - the Emtek 8000 is a porcelain knob pair joined by a threaded rod, not exit device trim. Exit device knob trim is a specific part: the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function from the ED-500 series.

The 8000 porcelain knob is entirely mechanical. No electronics, no wiring, no battery, no power prep in the door. For a property manager swapping hardware in an occupied unit that means no electrician and no power supply to coordinate.
