Emtek 7108.BZRN.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which backset do I order for an Emtek sandcast bronze passage knob?
Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: 2-3/8 inch is typical on residential interior doors and 2-3/4 inch shows up on heavier or commercial-style doors. The standard latch ships set for 2-3/8 inch, so call out 2-3/4 inch on the order if that is what your door is bored for.
2) What is a passage knob set and does it lock?
No lock at all. The Emtek Sandcast Bronze round passage set is a non-keyed latch function, so the knobs turn freely from both sides and the door simply latches shut. That is the right function for hallways, closets, and pantries. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy set with a thumbturn, and for an exterior door you need a keyed entry lock.
3) What is the difference between the standard latch, the 28 degree latch, and the CF mechanism on Emtek knobs?
Three choices. Standard latch is the conventional tubular latch. The 28 Degree Rotation Latch shortens how far you turn the knob before it retracts. The CF Mechanism gives you rosettes with no exposed screws for a clean face, and it includes the 28 degree latch as part of it. If the look of the rosette matters on a visible door, CF is the one to pick.
4) My door is 2 inches thick. Will this Emtek knobset work?
The Emtek Sandcast Bronze round passage set is specified for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so a 2 inch slab is outside that range. For thicker doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 goes to 2-1/4 inch. Both are commercial knobs rather than decorative bronze.
5) I need a passage knob for a commercial corridor, not a residential one. What should I use instead?
The Emtek sandcast bronze round knob passage set is a residential product and carries no ANSI grade. For a commercial corridor, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that is fire rated and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob lock with the Orbit knob. If Grade 2 suits the opening, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 and the Falcon W101 are both Grade 2 passage knob locks, the W101 fire rated with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
6) I need the same Emtek round knob look on a bedroom or bathroom door. What do I order instead of the passage set?
Passage function has no locking mechanism, so it is not suited to a bath or bedroom. For a comparable decorative privacy knob, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob privacy lock with 5148 rose ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob uses the R027 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Note that on the Emtek round knob the STRETTO rosette requires a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and two-hole door prep for thumbturn privacy.
7) Can I use the Emtek round knob passage set on an exterior or keyed door?
No. The Emtek sandcast bronze round knob passage set is non-keyed with a passage function, so it latches only and has no cylinder. For a keyed decorative knob, the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry and Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry both cover doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike. On the commercial side the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
8) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch. Which passage knob covers that?
The Emtek sandcast bronze round knob fits any door between 1-3/8 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard prep, and door thickness is entered at the time of order. If you prefer a graded commercial alternative for a thick door, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock with the Global knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
9) What rosette and finish choices come with the Emtek sandcast bronze round knob?
Five rosette styles, #1, #2, #3, #4 and #6, and three sandcast bronze finishes: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). The round knob can be ordered with any of the Sandcast Bronze rosettes, so you can carry one rosette profile across passage, privacy and entry openings in the same house.
10) What other decorative bronze or brass passage knobs could I use instead of the Emtek sandcast round knob?
If you want the same solid decorative look in another brand, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with the 5058 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage set with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike are both passage function. Omnia's 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is solid brass. The Emtek difference is the sandcast bronze texture and the ability to pair the round knob with five different rosette profiles.
11) What is a lower-cost round knob passage set if I do not need sandcast bronze?
For a plain round knob in passage function, the Bravura Albany with round trim and the Bravura Lynchburg with round trim are both Grade 2 passage knobsets, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 passage knob lockset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 200P Polo is a passage knob supplied with a 6AL latch and round corner strike. These are stamped or cast production knobs rather than the sandcast bronze construction and hand-finished look of the Emtek round knob, which is offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze and Tumbled White Bronze.
12) I need to outfit a whole house with matching round knobs. Is there a multi-pack alternative?
The Emtek sandcast bronze round knob passage set is sold as a single complete set including latch and strike plate, ordered per opening with your choice of rosette and backset, which is how you keep a mixed house of passage and privacy doors visually matched. If you want a single carton covering several openings instead, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is offered as a 6-pack with adjustable backset, and 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.
13) Is a ball knob passage lock the same thing as the Emtek round knob?
They are different shapes even though both are called round. The Emtek sandcast bronze knob is a true round ball-form knob in cast bronze, offered with rosette choices #1 through #6 and in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze or Tumbled White Bronze. The commercial ball knobs are plain production trim: the Arrow RK01 is a Grade 2 ball knob passage lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C2000 passage is a Grade 2 non-clutching cylindrical ball knob lock over the same thickness range. Those use a standard round rose, not selectable decorative rosettes.
14) I want a keyless code entry on a passage-style knob. Does Emtek's round knob do that?
No. The Emtek sandcast bronze round knob passage set is a mechanical, non-electronic, non-keyed latch set. If you need coded access on a knob, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch.
15) Can I get a split finish on an Emtek sandcast bronze knobset?
Yes. Split finish is an optional write-in on the order, so you can run one finish on the interior side and another on the hall side when the two rooms do not share a palette. Door thickness is also a write-in field, which is what you use to flag a slab outside the usual range.
16) Is the Emtek sandcast bronze knob actually bronze or plated?
Solid sandcast bronze. The material and substrate are both bronze, cast rather than plated, which is why the Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze finishes carry the irregular surface texture of a casting instead of a uniform machine polish.
