Emtek 7208.BU.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Butte privacy knobset fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door?
Yes. The Butte sandcast bronze privacy knob drops into standard door prep with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and the included latch is set up for a 2-3/8 inch backset with 2-3/4 inch available if your bore is set back further. One exception on the rosette: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door prep for the thumbturn privacy.
2) What door thickness does the Butte privacy knob work on?
Specs list the door thickness range as 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the set can be built for doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick on standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep. If your door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, state the actual thickness when ordering, since the Door Thickness field is there for exactly that.
3) Does the Butte privacy set come with a latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
It ships as a complete set, latch and strike plate included, plus knobs and rosettes for both sides. Nothing else is required to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate is available with round or square corners, so match whatever your existing mortise cutout is.
4) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on the Emtek Butte knob?
Three latch choices. Standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch reduces how far you have to turn the knob to retract the bolt, which some people prefer on a knob. The CF Mechanism is the concealed fastener version, so the rosettes have no exposed screws, and it comes with the 28 degree latch built in. Pick CF if you care about a clean rosette face.
5) The Emtek Butte privacy knob is residential - what should I use on a commercial bed/bath or similar opening instead?
The Butte knob is a residential tubular knobset. For commercial-duty openings, look at Grade 1 cylindrical knob locks such as the Schlage D10S passage latch in the D Series, rated heavy duty, or the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Where a keyed or storeroom function is wanted, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
6) What other privacy knobsets work as a decorative alternative to the Emtek Butte privacy knob?
The Emtek Butte privacy knob is a sandcast bronze, non-keyed privacy/bed/bath knobset. Two decorative peers with the same privacy function are the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose is another privacy option, supplied preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike.
7) What is a lower-cost privacy knob option if the Emtek Butte sandcast bronze set is more than the job needs?
The Emtek Butte privacy knob is a residential sandcast bronze set. For a plainer bed and bath opening, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset over the same door thickness range. The Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy lock, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
8) Which knobsets look like substitutes for the Emtek Butte privacy set but will not lock a bathroom door?
The Butte set carries a privacy/bed/bath function with a thumbturn-style interior lock. Passage and dummy knobs share the same trim appearance but do not latch-lock: the Arrow MK01 and RK01 are Grade 2 non-keyed passage locks, the Omnia 434/PA is a passage latchset, and the Kwikset 200P Polo is a hall/closet passage knob. Dummy trim such as the BEST 6K single dummy, Cal-Royal BA40, or Omnia 458/0 has no latch at all.
9) Is there an alternative to the Emtek Butte knob for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Butte knobset is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For thicker leaves, peers with wider ranges include the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob and Deltana 6171 Round entry knob at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office knob at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
10) Does the Emtek Butte privacy knob have a fire rating, and what should I use if the opening requires one?
The Butte knob is a residential bronze privacy knobset. Where a rated opening is involved, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a fire rating and passage/closet function on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage knobset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
11) Which rosettes and finishes can I get the Butte privacy knob in?
The Butte knob can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette. Configured options cover rosette #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, in Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). That lets you keep one knob design while matching rosette shape to the rest of the openings in the house.
12) Is this Emtek knobset keyed, and what does the privacy function actually do?
Non-keyed. It is a privacy/bed/bath function, so it locks from the inside by thumbturn or button and releases from the outside by emergency tool, not a key. If you need a keyed exterior door, this is the wrong function.
13) What matches the Emtek Butte privacy knob if the same opening also needs a keyed entry knob?
The Butte privacy set is non-keyed, so an entry door on the same run needs a separate keyed knob. Keyed peers include the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Deltana 6171 Round and 3381 Egg entry knobs for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway if you are keying alike to existing Kwikset cylinders.
14) If I need matching passage knobs alongside the Emtek Butte privacy set, what are the options in other brands?
The Butte privacy knob is sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate. When a run of closet and hall doors needs passage function instead, comparable knobs include the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim, the Bravura Dallas Grade 2 passage knobset with rectangle trim, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knobset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose.
15) What is a good alternative to the Emtek Butte privacy knob for a multi-door job where several doors need the same knob?
The Butte privacy knob is ordered per door with a chosen rosette, finish, and latch type. For volume runs of identical knobs, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered as a 6-pack with an adjustable backset, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
16) Is the Emtek Butte knob solid bronze or plated?
The Butte knob is from Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, with bronze listed as both material and substrate, so the finish is on solid cast bronze rather than a plated shell. The specification list also notes brass for the lock components. The three offered finishes, Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze, are living finishes typical of sandcast work and suit a rustic interior.
17) Can I order the Emtek Butte privacy set with two different finishes, one per side?
Yes, a split finish can be requested when ordering, so the interior side can differ from the hall side. State the two finishes you want in the split finish field. Otherwise the whole set comes in one of Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze.
