Emtek 7108.WC.FB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset do I order for the Emtek Winchester knob, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Both are offered and you pick one when you order. The latch ships standard for a 2-3/8 inch backset, which is what most residential interior doors are bored for; specify 2-3/4 inch if the hole in your door measures 2-3/4 inches from the door edge to the center of the bore. Measure the existing bore before ordering rather than assuming, since the two are not interchangeable once the latch is in hand.
2) Does the Emtek Winchester passage set lock, or is it just a latch?
Passage only. It is non-keyed with no lock function at all, so both knobs always turn and the door simply latches shut. Use it on halls, closets and pantry doors. For a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy set with a thumbturn instead, and for an exterior or locked office door you want a keyed entrance set.
3) Is the Emtek Winchester knobset rated for a commercial building or an apartment corridor?
No, it is a residential lockset and a tubular bored lock, so it is not the part for a commercial corridor or a code-driven institutional opening. For commercial passage duty on a knob, look at the Grade 1 Corbin Russwin CK4310 or the Grade 1 Schlage D10S, or the Grade 2 Corbin Russwin CK4410 and Dexter C2000 passage knob. The Winchester belongs on interior residential doors where the finish and the sandcast look are the point.
4) Can the Emtek Winchester passage knob be keyed for an entry door?
No. The Winchester knob set is non-keyed passage function, meaning both knobs always turn and there is no cylinder. For a keyed entry opening, use an entry-function knobset: the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob at Grade 3 with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike, or the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical ball knob.
5) Is a dummy knob the same as the Emtek Winchester passage knob?
No. The Winchester passage set is a working latchset sold complete with latch and strike plate, so the knob retracts a latch and holds the door closed. A dummy knob is surface-mounted trim with no latch at all, used on inactive leaves and closet doors that are held by a ball catch or roller catch. Dummy examples include the Omnia 434/0 traditional egg-shaped single dummy interior lockset in solid brass, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim at Grade 2, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim at Grade 2, and the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob. Ordering a dummy for an opening that needs to latch means the door will not stay shut.
6) The Emtek Winchester knob is a residential passage set. What should I use on a commercial corridor door that needs an ANSI grade?
Specify a graded cylindrical passage lock instead. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob, non-keyed, for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. The Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob. The Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that is fire rated and takes an interchangeable core, for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. The Emtek Winchester knob is classified residential and is a tubular lock, so it is aimed at interior residential doors rather than graded commercial openings.
7) I need a bed and bath knob to match a Winchester passage knob on the other doors. What privacy knobs are comparable?
The Winchester passage set is non-keyed passage function only, so a privacy door needs a different lockset. Decorative options include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which fits doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches. For a graded option, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, non-clutching and non-keyed, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Pamex FTF Baron knob in privacy function is Grade 3 for the same thickness range. None of these will match the sandcast bronze knob shape, so a visual match across a set of doors is worth confirming before ordering.
8) The door is 2 inches thick. Will the Emtek Winchester knob work, and what else fits a thicker door?
The Winchester passage knob is specified for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick with a 2-1/8 inch bore standard door prep, and door thickness is entered at the time of order. If you would rather use a graded cylindrical passage lock on a thicker door, the Falcon X101 covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches. By contrast, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 and the Dexter C2000 passage knob are both limited to 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
9) What comes in the box with the Emtek Winchester knobset?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you selected, the latch and the strike plate. Nothing separate to order to hang it on a prepped door. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so it can match the mortise already cut in the door edge.
10) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek knobs and should I choose it?
CF stands for the concealed-fastener build: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean on the face of the door. Choosing CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it. The alternatives are the standard latch, or the 28 degree rotation latch on its own with conventional rosette mounting. If the look of the rose matters on a visible interior door, CF is the one to pick; if it does not, the standard latch build does the same job.
11) What finishes does the Emtek Winchester sandcast bronze knob come in?
Three: Flat Black Bronze (FB), Medium Bronze (MB) and Tumbled White Bronze (TWB). These are solid sandcast bronze, not a plated finish over another substrate, so they wear and patina rather than flaking. If you are matching other openings in the building, match on the FB/MB/TWB code rather than by eye, since sandcast bronze varies piece to piece by nature of the casting.
12) What is a decorative alternative to the Emtek Winchester passage knob in a traditional style?
Two in the same decorative interior lane: the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose, which comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. The Baldwin sets are preconfigured rather than built to order, so you give up the rosette and finish combinations the Emtek offers but you have fewer decisions to make on the order.
13) I need a bedroom and bathroom lock to match the Emtek Winchester passage knob, what do I use?
The Winchester passage set has no privacy function, so bedrooms and baths need a privacy version of the same knob rather than this one. If you are matching a different line instead, ZenSupply carries decorative privacy knobs including the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob. Note that a privacy set on a STRETTO rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch bore and a two-hole door prep for the thumbturn, which is a different prep than the standard 2-1/8 inch bore.
14) Is there a cheaper passage knob than the Emtek Winchester for closets and utility doors?
For back-of-house doors where the sandcast bronze look is not doing any work, plainer passage knobs make more sense: the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob, the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob which ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike, or the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage knob. A common approach is to spend on the Emtek at the visible openings and use one of these in linen closets and mechanical rooms.
15) What is a simpler passage knob if the sandcast bronze finishes and rosette options are more than the job needs?
For a plain interior passage knob without finish and rosette selection, the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships as a hall and closet lock with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, and the 200P-CP version comes with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike. The Pamex FTF Baron knob in passage function is a Grade 3 lockset for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Bravura Albany with round trim is a Grade 2 passage knobset. The Winchester set is specified across three sandcast bronze finishes, five rosette choices, and a choice of standard latch, 28 degree rotation latch, or CF mechanism with no exposed rosette screws.
16) What passage knob works for a storeroom or classroom door where the latch must stay locked?
The Winchester knob is passage function, so it never locks. For a storeroom door, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a classroom door, the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 classroom cylindrical ball knob lock is keyed and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
17) Does the Emtek Winchester passage knob offer keyless entry like a combination knob lock?
No. The Winchester knob is a non-electronic, non-keyed passage set with no code entry. If keyless access is the requirement, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function, fitting doors 1 3/16 to 2 inches thick. That is a different device class from a decorative passage knob and will not match a sandcast bronze set visually.
18) Is exit device knob trim an alternative to the Emtek Winchester knobset?
No. Trim such as the Sargent 28C-KNOB, a knob and rose exit device trim in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only with B design, and the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 knob trim in storeroom function all mount to an exit device and do not operate a latch on their own. The Winchester passage set is a complete bored knobset that includes its own latch and strike plate for a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore door prep.
19) What Grade 2 passage knobs are worth considering next to the Emtek Winchester for apartment interior doors?
Graded passage knobs in the same non-keyed function include the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob lock and the Arrow RK01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical ball knob lock, both for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage/closet lock with a Global knob for the same thickness range, and the Bravura Lynchburg round trim Grade 2 passage knobset. These are utilitarian cylindrical sets; the Winchester is a residential tubular knobset in sandcast bronze chosen for its finish and rosette.
20) Can I order the Emtek Winchester knob with different finishes on each side of the door?
Yes, a split finish can be specified on the order. That is useful where one face of the door belongs to a room in a different finish scheme than the hall it opens onto. Enter the split finish you want as part of the order along with the backset.
21) Do I need to tell you the door thickness when ordering the Emtek Winchester knob?
You can, and on anything other than a common door it is worth doing. Door thickness is an optional entry on the order alongside the required backset choice, and giving it lets the set be supplied for your actual door instead of the assumed one. Standard modern interior doors run 1-3/8 inches and commercial-style doors 1-3/4 inches; if yours is thicker than that, state it.
22) I need one order to cover both a passage door and a keyed door in the same room. Is there a combo alternative?
The Winchester knob is ordered as a passage set only, with backset chosen as 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is sold as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers more than one opening in a single package. It is an F Series residential set rather than a sandcast bronze one, so appearance across the room is the thing to check.
