Emtek Studio Brass Knobsets - The Spoke Knob - Dummy (Pair)

Residential. The Studio Brass Spoke is built for homes and residential interiors, not for commercial traffic or an opening on a life-safety drawing. Property managers standardizing a commercial corridor should be looking at a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical set instead, such as the Schlage D Series D10S passage in Grade 1 or the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty knobset.

The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke knob is a residential dummy set. For a commercial opening that needs a graded lock, Falcon's X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thickness range, and the Falcon W101 is the Grade 2 medium duty fire rated passage knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For classroom function specifically, the Dexter C2000 classroom ball knob is Grade 2 and keyed. Where the opening needs storeroom function, the Sargent 8XG04 is Grade 1 heavy duty with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Sargent 6G04 is the Grade 2 standard duty version.

The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the closest commercial-line counterpart in knob form. It is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical dummy knob rated heavy duty in the A Series, with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The Emtek Spoke dummy is a residential brass knob sold as a pair, so on a double door or a closet pair you would order two A170 trims to match one Emtek Spoke dummy pair. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is the other commercial option, Grade 2 medium duty.

A dummy knob is surface mounted and does not operate a latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a hall or closet door that needs a latch, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 passage knob lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Emtek Spoke dummy covers. Bravura's Albany and Lynchburg with round trim are Grade 2 passage knobsets. On a bedroom or bath door where you need a lock, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy version and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob both cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke dummy covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For thicker stock, Deltana knobs run to 2 inches: the 3381 Egg Knob entry, the 6171 Round Knob entry and the 6112 St. Thomas privacy are all listed at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. In commercial lines, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset runs 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Those are latching functions rather than dummy, so if the opening genuinely takes no latch, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob is a dummy at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.

Seven brass rosettes pair with the Spoke knob: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, and Wilshire. Any brass rosette in the line can be ordered with it, so you can match the rose profile already on your other Emtek openings and keep the same knob design throughout the house.

Ten: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Matte White (MW), Pewter (US15A), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), Satin Rose Gold (SRG), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass is the one to think twice about on a fleet of doors, since it patinas with handling instead of holding its look. There's also a split finish option on the order form if you want the knob and rosette in different finishes.

No. The Spoke dummy is non-keyed and carries no cylinder at all, so there's nothing to key into an existing house keyway. If you need a keyed opening in the same knob look, order a keyed Emtek function; among other brands, a Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob or the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance knob with a Kwikset keyway are options that key into common residential systems.

Depends on what's there. Because the Spoke dummy is surface mount with no bore requirement, it mounts to a solid slab with no prep. But it does not fill a hole. If you're pulling a bored knob out of a 2-1/8 inch cross-bore, the rosette has to be wide enough to cover that opening, so pick the rosette by diameter, not by looks. The Disk, Quincy, Watford, and Wilshire round roses are the ones to measure first.

If the closet door has a catch, a magnet, or a roller holding it shut, a dummy is the right call, and it's simpler because there's no latch to bore for. If the door needs to hold itself closed, you want a passage set with a latchbolt: a Bravura Albany or Lynchburg passage knobset in Grade 2, or a Pamex FTF Baron passage set, are residential-grade options. The Spoke dummy pair has no latch and relies entirely on the door's own catch.

Yes, and that's the usual way it gets specified. The Spoke knob design and the brass rosettes run across the Studio Brass line, so you can put a dummy pair on the French doors, a privacy set on the bath, and a passage set on the hall, all with the same knob and the same rose in the same finish. Order the same rosette shape and finish code across the whole job and the openings read as one set.

No. Those are exit device trims, not standalone dummy knobs. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only for the 7800 Series exit device, the Imperial ED-BKL580 is knob trim in storeroom function for the ED-500 Series, and the Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors. Each mounts to the outside of a panic device and depends on that device to work. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke dummy is a surface mounted knob pair with no door prep and no latch behind it, for a door that stays closed on a catch or a magnet.

Count and construction. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke dummy is furnished as a pair, meaning a knob on each face of the door, and it is brass with a rosette you select separately from Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford or Wilshire. The Schlage A170 is a single dummy trim, Grade 2 heavy duty in the A Series, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, so each covers one face and you order two for a through-door pair.

Baldwin Estate covers a full function run in one knob design: the 5000 Baltimore knob comes preconfigured as a passage lock with 5048 rose and as a privacy lock with 5148 rose, both with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, and the 5011 Colonial knob is offered in passage with a 5058 rose. Deltana pairs an entry and a privacy across designs as well, with the 6901 Portland Knob entry at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and the 6112 St. Thomas privacy at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke is the dummy function in brass, ordered with the rosette you choose.

The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function, fitting doors from 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch. It needs no key and no power. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke dummy is non-keyed as well, but it is a surface mounted knob with no latch and no locking mechanism, so the two are not interchangeable on an opening that has to control who gets through.

Solid brass, knob and rosette both. Brass takes handling well and the plated finishes like Polished Nickel Lifetime and Satin Nickel are the ones that stay consistent across a whole floor of doors. Since a dummy knob is only ever pushed or pulled, wear is on the finish, not on a mechanism, so this is a durable choice on a frequently used closet or French door.

Handing doesn't apply. The knob doesn't rotate and there's no latch to reverse, so the same pair works on a left hand or right hand door and on either leaf of a pair. That's one less thing to get wrong on a multi-door order compared with a lever, where handing decides which way the lever points.

For the back-of-house doors, Kwikset's 200P Polo passage knob ships 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. Cal-Royal's Barrington BA40 is a dummy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors if you need the no-latch version in a plainer line. Pamex FT3 Saturn is a Grade 3 knob lockset over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range the Emtek Spoke dummy covers.

The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors in the F Series. It gives you a keyed exterior and interior sets in one order. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke dummy is ordered per opening as a brass pair with your choice of finish, including Flat Black, Satin Nickel, Polished Nickel, Satin Brass, Unlacquered Brass and Matte White, so it is the piece you add on the closet and double doors alongside a combo pack.
