Emtek 8200.EB.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Porcelain privacy knobset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Emtek Porcelain privacy knobset drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and it covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. One exception on the bore: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn. Every other rosette works on the standard 2-1/8 inch prep.
2) Which backset do I order for an Emtek porcelain knob privacy set, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Both are offered, and backset is a required selection when ordering. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: 2-3/8 inches is the common residential backset and 2-3/4 inches shows up on wider stiles and many commercial doors. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch, so 2-3/4 has to be specified. Pick the one that matches the hole already in the door, because the latch will not reach otherwise.
3) My bedroom door is 2 inches thick. Does the Emtek porcelain knob set work on it?
It does, but you have to order the extended door thickness option. The knobset covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch, split into two ranges at order time: standard for 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 inch, extended for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch. A 2 inch door falls in the extended range. Order the standard spindle set for a thick door and the knobs will not seat.
4) What does the privacy function on an Emtek porcelain knobset actually do, and is it keyed?
Privacy means bed and bath: a thumbturn on the inside locks the door, with no key and no cylinder. This is a non-keyed tubular lock, so it will not secure an exterior door or a storeroom. For an opening that needs a key, you want an entry or entrance function lockset instead.
5) Is an Emtek porcelain knobset suitable for a commercial or high traffic building?
No. Emtek's porcelain knobsets are residential hardware with no ANSI grade behind them, so for apartment corridors, offices or institutional openings you want a graded cylindrical lock. Comparable privacy options include the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 privacy knob lock or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob, both rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For heavy traffic, step up to a Grade 1 line such as Corbin Russwin's CK4300 Series.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Porcelain Ebony privacy knobset if I need a decorative brass privacy knob from a different brand?
The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is a privacy/bed/bath knob covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is also a privacy/bed/bath function knob. Both give you the same bed and bath function as the Emtek Porcelain Ebony set, which is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath tubular knobset in brass. The difference is the knob material and the trim: the Emtek uses a porcelain knob on a brass rosette with a choice of seven rosette shapes, from the Regular and Oval to the Quincy, Watford, Wilshire, Rectangular and #8.
7) Which privacy knob should I use on a commercial corridor or a high traffic bathroom instead of the Emtek Porcelain Ebony set?
The Emtek Porcelain Ebony privacy knobset is classified for residential use. For a graded commercial privacy opening, the Dexter C2000 privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2 privacy/bed/bath for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob with brass trim is Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath over the same door thickness range, and the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are bed and bath function like the Emtek, so the room behavior is the same.
8) My door is thicker than standard. Does the Emtek Porcelain knobset still work, or do I need another lock?
The Emtek Porcelain Ebony privacy knobset is ordered with a door thickness option covering standard 1-1/4 inch to 1-3/4 inch or extended 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so a thick door is handled by the extended option rather than by switching products. If you need a graded lock on that same thick door, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, though both are passage function rather than privacy.
9) I need a fire rated knob lock. Can I use the Emtek Porcelain set on a rated opening?
Use a lock listed for the rating. The Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock is fire rated in passage/closet function with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset is fire rated as well. The Emtek Porcelain Ebony knobset is a residential privacy/bed/bath set, so specify the Falcon on the rated leaf and keep the porcelain knobs on the unrated bedroom and bath doors.
10) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobsets?
Three latch choices. Standard latch is the normal rotation. The 28 degree rotation latch reduces how far the knob has to turn to retract the bolt, and it costs extra. The CF mechanism includes the 28 degree latch and hides the fasteners, so the rosettes have no exposed screws. Choose CF if you want a clean rose face with no visible screw heads.
11) Can I match Emtek porcelain knobs to the other door hardware in the house?
Ten finishes are offered: 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 rosettes are brass, so match on the US finish code stamped on your existing hardware and the ebony porcelain knob stays the same across all of them.
12) What else could I buy instead of the Emtek porcelain privacy knob for a decorative bedroom door?
For a similar decorative privacy knob from another brand, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob are both privacy function. The Deltana carries a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range. Baldwin also does a preconfigured Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy set with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike if you want it decided for you rather than configuring rosette, latch and finish.
13) I need matching knobs on a closet and a bathroom door. Can I get the Emtek porcelain knob in a passage version too?
The ebony porcelain knob with classic brass rosettes is built in privacy function here, with a thumbturn for bed and bath. Emtek makes the same porcelain knob in passage for hall and closet doors, so order the passage version for the closet and this privacy version for the bath, in the same finish and rosette, and the two openings will look identical. If you would rather standardize on a single brand across both, the Pamex FTF Baron is offered in both privacy and passage, Grade 3, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) Does an Emtek porcelain privacy knobset need handing when I order it?
No handing to specify. It is a tubular bored lockset with a knob on each side and a thumbturn inside, so it works on a left or right hand door either way. The two things you do have to get right are backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch) and door thickness range.
15) I need the same Emtek porcelain look on a hall or closet door that should not lock. What do I order instead?
The Emtek Porcelain Ebony set is privacy/bed/bath, so it carries a thumbturn and is meant for a bedroom or bathroom. For a hall or closet door that latches but never locks, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is a passage/hall/closet function in solid brass, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is passage/hall/closet as well. Both keep the traditional brass knob-and-rose appearance while dropping the locking function.
16) What if the door needs a key rather than a privacy thumbturn?
The Emtek Porcelain Ebony knobset is non-keyed, so a keyed opening needs a different lock. The Deltana 3381 Egg knob and Deltana 6171 Round knob are both entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 entrance for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron knob is Grade 3 entrance/office for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Pair the keyed unit on the entry door with the Emtek privacy sets on the bedroom and bath doors if you want the porcelain knob elsewhere in the same house.
17) What is the difference between the Emtek Porcelain Ebony privacy set and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob?
Both are privacy function knobs. The Baldwin Estate 5000 is preconfigured: a 2 inch Baltimore knob on a 5148 rose with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike, so the trim and backset are decided when you order the part number. The Emtek Porcelain Ebony set is configured by you, with a backset selected as 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, a rosette chosen from seven shapes, and ten finishes from Flat Black US19 to Unlacquered Brass US3NL.
18) I am standardizing a multi-family building. Can I mix the Emtek Porcelain knobs with a graded lock line across unit doors?
A common split is a graded lock on the unit entry and corridor doors with the decorative privacy knob inside the unit. For the graded side, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob lock. The Emtek Porcelain Ebony set is residential privacy/bed/bath and orders in a 2-3/4 inch backset to match those openings.
19) Is the Lockey 3830 keyless knob lock an alternative to the Emtek Porcelain privacy set for a bathroom?
No, they solve different problems. 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 thick, so entry is controlled by a code from outside. The Emtek Porcelain Ebony set is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath knobset locked by a thumbturn from inside the room, which is what a bathroom or bedroom door calls for.
20) Which rosette shapes can I get with the Emtek ebony porcelain knob?
Seven brass rosettes pair with the ebony porcelain knob: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. Any brass rosette in the line can be ordered with this knob, so shape is a styling call, not a fit constraint. Rectangular and Quincy read more period; Regular and Oval are the quieter options for a whole-house run.
