Emtek 7108.BZEG.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to specify a backset on the Emtek Egg knob passage set?
Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The set ships with the 2-3/8 inch latch unless you call out 2-3/4, which is the one most commercial and thicker-stile doors are bored for. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore before ordering; picking the wrong one means the latch will not reach the strike.
2) What is a passage knob and is it the right function for a bedroom or bathroom?
Passage means latching only, no lock at all. The Emtek Egg passage set is non-keyed with no thumbturn, so both knobs always turn and the door just stays shut. Use it on hallways, closets, and pantry doors. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy set with an inside thumbturn, and for an exterior or office door you want a keyed entry function instead.
3) Is the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Egg knob rated for commercial use on a high-traffic door?
No. The Egg knob is a residential-duty tubular set in sandcast bronze, meant for interior doors in homes and light residential work. For a corridor, classroom, or anything with real cycle counts, go to a graded cylindrical lock: the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob, the Falcon X101 is Grade 1 heavy duty with an interchangeable core and fits 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
4) I'm replacing a builder-grade Kwikset or Schlage knob with an Emtek Egg knob. Do I need to redrill the door?
Usually not. Standard residential knobs sit in a 2-1/8 inch cross bore at a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Egg passage set uses that same prep across 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Pull the old set, check which backset the bore is on, and order to match. The one thing to look at is the rosette diameter against any finish shadow the old rose left on the door, and the latch faceplate corner, round or square, so it drops into the existing edge mortise.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Egg knob passage set from another decorative brand?
The Omnia 434/PA is the nearest match in shape and function: an egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, in a passage/hall/closet function. The Emtek Egg is a passage knobset with bronze substrate, sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate, and can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette in #1, #2, #3, #4 or #6. Deltana also builds an egg-shaped knob, the 3381 Egg Knob, but it is an entry function rather than passage.
6) I need a bed and bath knob to match the Emtek Egg passage knobs on the rest of the doors. What is comparable?
The Emtek Egg knobset in passage has no locking function, so bedrooms and baths need a privacy set. Among decorative peers, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose is a privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob with an R027 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is a privacy function covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Note the Emtek Egg passage set uses an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so confirm the backset of any peer against the existing door prep.
7) The Emtek Egg knobset covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Which comparable passage knobs handle a thick door?
The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Egg knobset fits any door between 1-3/8 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard prep. Among passage peers, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty knobset also reaches 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock with Global knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Most of the Grade 2 and Grade 3 passage knobs stop at 1-3/4 inch, including the Corbin Russwin CK4410, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob and the Pamex FTF Baron passage lockset.
8) Does the Emtek Egg passage knobset carry a fire rating, or is there a passage knob that does?
The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Egg knobset is a residential passage set. Where a fire-rated passage knob is required, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock in passage/closet latch function with a 2-3/4 inch backset and carries a fire rating, and the Falcon X101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty fire-rated equivalent with an interchangeable core.
9) What comes in the box with the Emtek Sandcast Bronze Egg knob passage set?
It's a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to order to hang it on a pre-bored door. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge.
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 conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch shortens how far the knob has to turn before the latch retracts, which is easier on the wrist and reads more like a lever. The CF Mechanism is the one to pick if you don't want screws showing on the face of the rosette, and it ships with the 28 degree latch included. On a high-visibility door where the hardware is the detail, CF is usually the choice.
11) What finishes and rosette styles does the Emtek Egg knob passage set come in?
Three Sandcast Bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Rosettes are #1, #2, #3, #4, and #6, and the Egg knob can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette, so you can match rosette shape across an opening set while keeping one finish. There's also a split finish option if you want a different finish inside than out.
12) Can I match Emtek Sandcast Bronze Egg knobs across a whole house with privacy and entry doors too?
Yes, that's how the Sandcast Bronze collection is set up. The Egg knob passage set carries the same knob, rosette range, and bronze finishes as the privacy and keyed versions in the collection, so hall and closet doors get the passage function while bedrooms and baths get privacy and the exterior gets keyed, all in one look. Keep the finish and rosette number consistent across the order and specify backset per door.
13) What is a simpler passage knobset than the Emtek Egg if the decorative bronze look is not required?
The Emtek Egg knobset is a Sandcast Bronze collection piece with a bronze substrate and a choice of rosette. Where plain hardware will do, the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset is a Grade 3 passage function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, and the Bravura Albany with round trim is a Grade 2 passage knobset. All three are round-trim knobs rather than a cast egg profile.
14) How does the Emtek Egg passage knobset compare to the Baldwin Estate passage knobs?
Both are decorative solid-metal knobsets in passage function. The Baldwin Estate 5000 comes preconfigured as a 2 inch Baltimore knob with 5048 rose, a fixed 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob comes with the 5058 rose. The Emtek Egg is built to order instead: bronze substrate in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze, a choice of #1, #2, #3, #4 or #6 Sandcast Bronze rosette, and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
15) What replaces an Emtek Egg passage knob on a door that needs to lock behind people without a key?
The Emtek Egg passage set is non-keyed and latches without locking. For a keyless door that secures itself, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function, covering doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick. On the commercial side, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, which keeps the outside knob locked at all times but requires a key.
16) Can I use the Emtek Egg passage knob on a closet door that doesn't need to latch?
It will work, but it's the wrong part if the door has no latch prep or you just want a pull. A passage set includes a working latch and strike and needs the 2-1/8 inch bore plus the edge mortise. For a false door or a closet where you only want the knob on the face, order a dummy trim instead: the Omnia 434/0 is the egg-shaped single dummy, and BEST 6K single dummy trim or the Schlage A170 covers it in a graded cylindrical line.
17) Is the Emtek Egg knob solid bronze or plated?
The knob and rosettes are sandcast bronze, cast rather than stamped, which is where the surface texture and the weight come from. The finishes are living bronzes (Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, Tumbled White Bronze) so they take on a patina with handling rather than staying uniform. If you need a finish that stays exactly as delivered, this is not the collection for it.
