Emtek Sandcast Bronze Knobsets - Winchester Knob, Dummy (Pair)

Both work. The Winchester sandcast bronze dummy pair is rated for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers standard interior slabs as well as thicker doors. Because it's a dummy, the thickness matters less than usual anyway: it surface mounts and there is no through-bolted spindle running the width of the door.

It's built for residential use and carries no ANSI grade, so it's the wrong choice for an opening that has to meet a commercial spec. For graded cylindrical knobs on commercial work, ZenSupply carries Grade 1 options like the Schlage D10S passage knob and the Falcon X101, and Grade 2 like the Corbin Russwin CK4410. If the commercial door genuinely only needs a dummy pull, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty option.

A dummy knob doesn't turn and has no latch. It's a pull, mounted on the surface, used on inactive doors: one leaf of a French pair, a bi-fold, a cabinet or a closet door held shut by a ball catch or roller catch. If you need the door to stay latched when closed, you want a passage set instead, which has a working latchbolt. ZenSupply carries passage knobs across the same category, such as the Bravura Albany round-trim passage knobset.

It's a pair, one knob for each face of the door, sold as a complete set with both rosettes. If you only need one side, a French door leaf or a shallow closet, a single dummy is the correct buy instead, like the Schlage A170 single dummy trim or the BEST 6K single dummy trim.

The Emtek Winchester knob pair is a dummy set, surface mounted with no door prep and no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a knob that latches without locking, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. On the decorative side, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob comes with a 5058 rose.

A dummy knob has no locking mechanism at all, so a bed or bath door needs a privacy function instead. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob comes with an R027 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 privacy set pairs a 2 inch Baltimore knob with a 5148 rose, a 2-3/8 inch backset, and a full lip strike. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches. For a Grade 2 privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Pamex FTF10 is a Grade 3 Baron knob privacy lockset in the same thickness range.

The Emtek Winchester sandcast bronze knob pair is a residential dummy set with no ANSI grade behind it. Where a facility spec calls for a graded cylindrical knob, the BEST 8K Series is Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with an interchangeable core, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. At Grade 2, the Sargent 6G04 is a storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder and the Falcon W101 is a fire rated medium duty passage/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

Six rosette styles are offered, numbered #1 through #6, and the Winchester knob can be ordered on any Sandcast Bronze rosette. That's the decision that lets it match the other Sandcast Bronze trim already on your openings, so pick the rosette that matches your existing Emtek plates first, then the knob.

Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB), and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). Each of the three is available on all six rosette styles. These are living bronze finishes, part of Emtek's Sandcast Bronze collection, so they read warmer and more textured than a plated brass finish and will vary slightly casting to casting.

Yes. There's a split finish option on the order, so you can run one finish on the hall side and another on the room side, which is what you want when a bedroom or bath is finished differently from the corridor. Note the split finish request in the order field rather than buying two sets.

Neither. It's non-keyed with no cylinder and no privacy button, since a dummy has no working mechanism at all. For a bedroom or bath door that needs to lock from inside, look at a privacy knob such as the Dexter C2000 privacy or the Pamex FTF Baron privacy, both of which fit 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

For a full-thickness French door where you want a knob visible on both faces of the inactive leaf, the Winchester pair is exactly it, and it mounts on the surface so the leaf never gets bored. If only the room side is seen, a single dummy is the cheaper route: Bravura's Biloxi round-trim dummy or Schlage's A170 single dummy trim both cover that.

Two things get mistaken for a dummy knob. First, exit device and lock trim: the Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design in the 7800 Series, the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 is knob trim with a storeroom function - all of these are trim for a device or lock body, not a standalone inactive knob. Second, single dummy trim such as the Schlage A170 is one knob for one face, while the Emtek Winchester is supplied as a pair. Ordering the wrong one leaves a French door or closet pair with a bare face.

The Emtek Winchester dummy pair is non-keyed and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. For a keyed knob in that same range, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway, the Pamex FTF-00 is a Grade 3 Baron entrance/office knob lockset, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is Grade 2 and non-clutching, and the Kwikset 400P-CP is a Grade 3 keyed entry Polo knob with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike. For a wider door, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office knob with conventional cylinder covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches.

The Emtek Winchester is a residential sandcast bronze dummy pair. Where a graded dummy is wanted so the trim matches graded hardware elsewhere in the building, the Schlage A170 is Grade 2 heavy duty single dummy trim in the A Series for doors 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, and the Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim. All three are graded dummy trim; the Emtek is a decorative pair with a bronze substrate.

The Emtek Winchester is a sandcast bronze knob offered in Flat Black Bronze, Medium Bronze, and Tumbled White Bronze. If a plainer traditional knob suits the opening better, the Omnia 434/0 and 442/00 are traditional solid brass dummy knobs, the Deltana 6901 Portland and 6171 Round knobs are entry knobs for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 and 1-3/8 to 2 inches respectively, and the Sure-Loc Arapaho and Modern Bergen round knobs are further knob designs. Match the function first - the Deltana items are entry, not dummy.
