Emtek Sandcast Bronze Knobsets - Egg Knob, Privacy Set

Yes. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Egg privacy knobset drops into standard door prep, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. The 1-3/4 inch commercial and modern residential standard sits right in the middle of that range. One exception on prep: the STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole door preparation for the thumbturn, so if you are specifying that rosette the door has to be bored differently.

Backset is a required choice on the Emtek Egg privacy knobset: 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole. The standard latch shipped is the 2-3/8 inch; if your door is bored at 2-3/4 inch you have to call that out on the order or the latch will not reach. Those two are the only backsets used on residential bored doors, so one of them will match what is already in your door.

It ships complete. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Egg privacy set includes the latch and the strike plate along with both knobs and the rosettes, so a bed or bath door is a full replacement out of one box. Latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner to match the existing mortise in your door edge. Nothing else is required to hang it on an already-bored door.

Non-keyed. The Egg knobset is a privacy function, the bed and bath configuration: thumbturn inside, emergency release outside, no cylinder and no key. That is what you want on a bedroom, bathroom, or master closet. For an exterior or an office door that has to lock with a key, this is the wrong function, and you would be looking at an entrance or storeroom knob instead.

The Emtek Sandcast Bronze Egg privacy set handles it. Its range runs 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, which covers a 2 inch slab, and thick doors are where most residential knobs quit. For comparison, the Dexter C2000 privacy knob stops at 1-3/4 inch and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob stops at 1-3/4 inch too. Deltana's 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob goes to 2 inch. Above 1-3/4 inch, check the range before you order anything.

The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze knob privacy set is catalogued for residential use and carries no ANSI grade. Where a submittal calls for a graded privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, non-keyed, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob is Grade 3 with brass trim over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range; and the Pamex FTF Baron knob privacy lockset is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three are ball or turned-knob profiles rather than the sandcast egg shape.

It is a question of whether you want screws showing on the rosette. The CF mechanism mounts the rosettes with no exposed screws and includes the 28 degree rotation latch. The other two options are the 28 degree rotation latch on its own, or the standard latch. The 28 degree latch shortens how far you turn the knob before the latch retracts, which matters on a bathroom door someone operates with wet hands or an elbow. If a clean rosette face is the priority on a visible interior door, take CF.

The rose is your choice. The Egg knob can be ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette, and five are offered: #1, #2, #3, #4, and #6. That is how you match the knob to trim already installed elsewhere in the house without changing knob style. There is also a split finish option on the order if you want the interior side a different finish from the hall side.

They share the egg profile but not the function set. The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze knobset is a Privacy/Bed/Bath tubular lock in bronze with a choice of five rosettes and Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze finishes. The Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob is a passage latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Omnia 434/0 is a dummy; the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function. None of the three is a privacy function, so on a bed or bath door they will not give you the inside lock the Emtek set does, and the brass construction will not match a sandcast bronze finish.

The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze knobset is non-keyed with a tubular privacy function, so it will not take a cylinder. For a keyed opening in a similar decorative knob, the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is a Grade 3 entrance function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike.

The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is a Privacy/Bed/Bath function knob and rose set, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose is a preconfigured privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze privacy set is ordered with a separately chosen rosette and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it suits an opening where the existing prep is 2-3/4 inch and the Baldwin preconfigured 2-3/8 inch set does not.

The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze knobset is a residential bronze knob in the Rustic Living theme, sold as a complete set with latch and strike plate and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. For a fleet of units where interchangeability across turns matters more than the sandcast look, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is Grade 2 and non-clutching for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the same C2000 Series carries passage, entry/office and classroom functions on a common knob so one platform covers the whole unit. The Emtek path instead lets you match the bed and bath doors to the rest of a sandcast bronze package by rosette and finish.

The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze knobset takes an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, selected when you order. Among comparable knobs, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob is a passage/closet latch function supplied with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom/closet knob lock also uses a 2-3/4 inch backset. Both are commercial functions rather than privacy, so for a bed or bath door at 2-3/4 inch prep the Emtek Egg is the one of the three that locks from inside.

The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze knobset is a residential privacy knob. Where the opening is a rated door and the hardware has to be listed, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical knobset are both fire rated; the X101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors with an interchangeable core. Both Falcon options are passage/closet functions, so a rated door that also needs an inside lock will need a different function selected.

The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze privacy set ships as a complete set including latch and strike plate and locks from the inside. A dummy knob has no latch and no lock - it is surface-mounted trim you pull on. In that role the Omnia 434/0 is the egg-shaped single dummy in solid brass, the Omnia 458/0 is a traditional single dummy knob latchset, and the Schlage A170 is a Grade 2 single dummy trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors. Ordering a dummy for a bathroom leaves the door with nothing to latch against the strike.

No - the functions differ. The Kwikset 200P Polo is a passage knob for interior hall and closet openings, supplied with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, and the 200P-CP is the same passage knob with a round corner adjustable latch and strike. Neither locks. The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze knobset is a Privacy/Bed/Bath function with a thumbturn, which is what a bathroom door needs. If the Polo profile is what you want on a bath door, the keyed 400P Polo entry knob is a different function again and takes a key rather than a thumbturn.

The Emtek Egg sandcast bronze knobset covers the Privacy/Bed/Bath function and is ordered with any Sandcast Bronze rosette so the openings match on trim. For a single family carrying several functions, the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset is offered in privacy, passage and entrance/office, all Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Schlage Residential also offers the F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek route matches on sandcast bronze finish and rosette; the Pamex and Schlage routes match on a common ANSI-graded chassis.

Three, and all of them are living bronze finishes on solid cast bronze: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Sandcast means each piece has visible casting texture and slight variation, so pieces from different orders will not be identical twins. If you are matching several openings in one house, order them together.

The Egg knob is offered in other functions across the same Sandcast Bronze collection, so a hall or closet door can take a passage version and a fixed door leaf can take a dummy, all in the same knob and rosette. Keep the finish and rosette number consistent across the order and the openings read as one set. If you are matching a whole floor, note that sandcast bronze varies slightly piece to piece and ordering the run together keeps the tone close.

Solid bronze. Both the material and substrate on the Emtek Egg knobset are bronze, sandcast rather than plated, which is why the finish wears in rather than wearing off. Most competing knobs at this level, the Omnia 434/PA and 458/0 for instance, are solid brass construction. Brass and bronze patina differently over time, so if you are adding to existing bronze hardware, stay in bronze.
