Emtek 8100.EB.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Porcelain passage knobset fit a standard 1-3/4 inch door with a 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Emtek Porcelain knobset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors on the standard trim. If your door is thicker, the Extended Door Thickness option takes it from 1-3/4 inch up to 2-1/4 inch, so shutter-thick or built-up doors are still covered. Pick the door thickness option that matches the leaf you are actually boring.
2) What backset do I order for the Emtek Porcelain knobset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch?
Backset is a required choice on the Emtek Porcelain knobset: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore. Residential doors are usually 2-3/8 inch and commercial-prepped doors usually 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch, so the 2-3/4 inch has to be called out on the order.
3) Does the Emtek porcelain knob passage set come with a latch and strike, or do I buy those separately?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed to hang it on a door that already has a 2-1/8 inch bore. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner so it matches the mortise already cut in the door edge.
4) Is a passage knob the right function for a bedroom or bathroom door?
No. Passage means it latches but does not lock, non-keyed with no thumbturn, so it is for halls, closets, and pantry doors. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy function with a push-button or thumbturn inside. In the same style family Emtek offers privacy versions of the porcelain knobs, and among other brands the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob or the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob cover the same residential look.
5) Can I use the Emtek porcelain knobset on commercial corridor and office doors?
It is a residential-duty tubular set with a porcelain knob, built for houses, apartments interiors, and hospitality-style spaces. For a commercial opening under traffic or a fire-rated door you want a graded cylindrical lock instead: the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 passage knobset with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The Dexter C2000 passage knob is the Grade 2 step down for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) Can the Emtek porcelain knob replace a builder-grade Kwikset or Schlage passage knob without redrilling?
In most cases yes. Builder passage knobs like the Kwikset 200P Polo and the Schlage Residential F500 sit in the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Emtek porcelain set uses that same standard prep and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors on the standard build. Confirm your bore is 2-1/8 inch and order matching backset. One exception on the porcelain line: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch bore with a two-hole prep for the privacy thumbturn, so that is not a straight swap.
7) What is the closest passage knob substitute for the Emtek Porcelain ebony knob if I need a commercial ANSI grade?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony knob passage set is a residential tubular passage lockset in brass, so it does not carry a commercial ANSI grade. When an opening needs a graded cylindrical passage knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob with the Orbit knob. Both are plain knob designs rather than porcelain.
8) I need the same look as the Emtek porcelain knob but with a privacy function for a bathroom - what are my options?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony knob set covered here is passage only, with no keying. For a bed and bath opening, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob with the R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy set uses the 5148 rose with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas is a privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. All three are metal knob designs.
9) The Emtek porcelain knob is for a door that latches - what do I use on a closet door with no latch?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony passage set is a complete latching set that includes a latch and strike plate, so it is not the part for a false or inactive leaf. For a non-latching opening, the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy knob trim, the Omnia 458/0 is a single dummy knob latchset with a 2-3/8 inch backset in solid brass, and the BEST 6K single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty knob.
10) Does the Emtek porcelain passage knob take a key, and what should I order if I need a keyed knob on that door?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony knob set is a non-keyed passage function, so it has no cylinder. If the door needs to lock with a key, the Kwikset 400P Polo is a keyed entry knob with a 6AL latch and RCS strike, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
11) My door is thicker than standard - which passage knob covers a 2 inch or thicker door?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony knob passage set can be ordered for extended door thickness from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch in addition to the standard range. Among other passage knobs, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
12) What looks like a substitute for a passage knobset but will not work as one?
Knob trim for exit devices is easy to mistake for a knobset. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with a knob and rose 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 knob trim with a storeroom function in the ED-500 Series. None of those replace a complete passage set like the Emtek Porcelain ebony knob, which is sold complete with latch and strike plate for a 2-1/8 inch bore standard door prep.
13) What is the CF mechanism option on the Emtek porcelain knobs and should I pick it?
CF gives you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from the face of the door. It includes the 28 degree rotation latch as part of the option. If you are fine seeing screw heads on the rose, the standard latch build is the plain choice. The 28 degree latch can also be ordered on its own without the CF trim.
14) Which rosette shapes can I get with the Emtek ebony porcelain knob?
Seven brass rosette styles pair with the ebony porcelain knob: Regular, Oval, Rectangular, Quincy, Watford, Wilshire, and the #8. That matters when you are matching existing trim across a house, since a rectangular rose sits very differently on a stile than a round one. All of them work with the standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep.
15) What finishes does the Emtek porcelain knob set with brass rosettes come in for matching existing hardware?
Ten finishes on the brass rosettes and trim: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The US numbers are the ones to match against hinges and other trim already in the building. Unlacquered brass will patina over time; the Lifetime finishes will not.
16) Does the porcelain knob passage set need handing, or does it work on a left and right hand door?
No handing to specify. It is a non-keyed passage set with knobs both sides and a tubular latch, so it turns from either face and the latch bolt reverses for either swing. What you do have to get right is backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch) and latch faceplate corner, round or square, to match what is cut in the door edge.
17) What is the difference between a passage knob and a dummy knob for a closet door?
The passage set has a working latch and strike, so the door stays shut until you turn the knob. A dummy is a fixed pull with no latch at all, used on inactive leaves of a pair or on cabinet-style doors that catch on a roller. If a closet door needs to hold closed, take the passage set; if it is held by a ball catch, dummy trim like the Omnia 458/0 or the Schlage A170 single dummy is what you want.
18) What decorative brass passage knob works instead of the Emtek porcelain knob when I do not want a porcelain knob?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony passage set pairs a porcelain knob with brass rosettes. For a solid brass knob in the same passage function, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial is a passage knob with the 5058 rose. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage set is a 2 inch knob with the 5048 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike.
19) Is there a plainer passage knobset to use on back-of-house doors where the Emtek porcelain knob is not warranted?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony knob is a decorative residential passage set. For utility openings, the Pamex FTF is a Grade 3 Baron knob passage lockset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Bravura Albany is a Grade 2 passage knobset with round trim, and the Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical ball knob, non-clutching and non-keyed, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
20) Can I mix rosette styles or finishes across doors in the same house with the Emtek porcelain knobs?
Yes. The ebony porcelain knob can be ordered with any of the brass rosettes, in any of the ten finishes, so you can run one rose shape through the main hall and another in a secondary space while keeping the same knob and finish. Order each opening as its own combination, and keep backset consistent per door rather than per house, since it depends on how each leaf was bored.
21) Can I match the Emtek porcelain knob set with a keyless entry knob on the exterior door of the same unit?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony knob set is a non-electronic passage set for interior doors. For a keyless opening, 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 is a combination-entry product rather than a decorative interior knob.
22) I am standardizing knobs across a building - is the Emtek porcelain knob available in the same functions as a builder combo pack?
The Emtek Porcelain ebony knob set covers the passage function in ten finishes including Flat Black US19, Oil Rubbed Bronze US10B, Polished Nickel Lifetime US14 and Satin Nickel US15, ordered per opening. If the job is better served by a single packaged set, 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.
