Emtek 5209.SPK.US19 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Spoke privacy knob fit a 1-3/4 inch door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Spoke privacy knobset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 up to 2-1/4 inches thick, so a typical 1-3/4 inch interior door needs no special prep. One exception worth knowing before you drill: the STRETTO rosette is not a standard prep. It wants a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a two-hole door preparation for the thumbturn privacy function.
2) Does the Emtek Spoke knob come with a 2-3/4 inch backset latch or do I have to order it separately?
Backset is a required choice at order time, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The standard latch shipped with the Spoke knobset is 2-3/8 inch; if your door is bored at 2-3/4 inches (common on exterior-width and some commercial-prep doors) you have to specify it. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the bore before you pick.
3) Does the Emtek Spoke privacy knob take a key?
No. Privacy function means it locks from the inside with a thumbturn and has no keyway at all. The outside carries an emergency release, not a cylinder. That is the right function for a bedroom or bathroom. If you need a key on the outside, you want an entry or keyed-office function knob instead, such as the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob or the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob.
4) Is the Emtek Studio Spoke knob suitable for a commercial building or an apartment turn?
The Spoke is a residential brass knobset, tubular lock type, and carries no ANSI grade. For single family, condo, or a high-end unit interior it is the right piece. For corridor and back-of-house doors in a commercial building, go to a graded cylindrical lock instead: the Schlage D Series D10S is Grade 1 heavy duty passage, and the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is a Grade 2 privacy option for bed and bath doors that get institutional traffic.
5) What is a comparable privacy knob to the Emtek Studio Brass Spoke if I want a decorative solid brass set from another brand?
The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas Knob Privacy is the closest decorative privacy knob peer, with a privacy/bed/bath function and a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke privacy set is also a privacy/bed/bath function in brass, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Deltana covers thicker doors up to 2 inch; the Spoke is ordered against a choice of brass rosette and a contemporary knob shape.
6) I need a bed and bath knob with an ANSI grade for a spec sheet - what should I use instead of the Emtek Spoke?
For a bedroom or bath opening where the submittal calls out an ANSI/BHMA grade, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, privacy/bed/bath function, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. 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 privacy knob is Grade 3 across that range as well. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke privacy set is a residential brass knobset built around finish and rosette selection.
7) The door is a hall or closet door with no lock needed - what takes the place of the Spoke privacy knob there?
A hall or closet door takes a passage knob, which latches without a thumbturn. The Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial Passage Knob with 5058 Rose is a passage/hall/closet function, and the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is passage/hall/closet in solid brass with a 3 inch projection. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke set covered here is the privacy/bed/bath function, which adds the interior thumbturn.
8) Can I use the Emtek Spoke privacy knob on a commercial corridor or a fire-rated opening?
For a corridor or a fire-rated opening, look at a cylindrical lock built for it: the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that carries a fire rating and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty knob lock, also fire rated, in the passage/closet function with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage D10S passage knob is Grade 1 heavy duty. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke privacy set is a residential knobset for bed and bath openings.
9) How does the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob compare to the Emtek Spoke privacy knob?
The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore is a preconfigured privacy knob: a 2 inch knob with the 5148 rose, a 2-3/8 inch backset, and a full lip strike, shipped as one combination. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke privacy set is also privacy/bed/bath but is configured at order - backset selectable as 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, brass rosette chosen from seven shapes, and a concealed fastener option so the rosettes carry no exposed screws.
10) What comes in the box with an Emtek Spoke privacy knobset?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs with your chosen rosettes, the latch, the strike plate, and the dust box. Nothing else is needed for a standard bored door. The latch faceplate can be had round corner or square corner, so match it to how the existing mortise in the door edge is cut.
11) Can I mix the Spoke knob with a different Emtek rosette shape?
Yes, the Spoke knob can be ordered with any brass rosette. Seven shapes are offered: Disk, Modern Rectangular, Quincy, Square, Urban Modern, Watford, and Wilshire. That is how you match the privacy sets in bedrooms and baths to the passage and entry hardware already running through the rest of the house.
12) What is the CF option on the Emtek Spoke knob and should I pay for it?
CF stands for Concealed Fastener. Order the Spoke with the CF mechanism and the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face, which is the detail people notice on a bedroom or bath door. The other upgrade on the same list is the 28 Degree Rotation Latch, a shorter knob turn, available for an additional charge. Skip both and you get the standard mechanism with visible rosette screws.
13) I want a solid brass privacy knob but not Emtek. What else is there?
Two close alternatives in solid brass or brass-trim privacy: the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with the R027 rose. If you want a graded option rather than a decorative one, the Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Emtek Spoke covers the widest thickness range of the group at 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
14) Can I use the Spoke knob on a closet or hall door instead of a bathroom?
Not this version. The Spoke privacy set locks, which is wrong for a closet or hall door where nobody should be able to shut themselves in. Emtek builds the same Spoke knob in a passage function for those openings. For a budget run of closet and hall doors, the Bravura Albany or Lynchburg round trim passage knobsets and the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob are Grade 2 and Grade 3 options respectively.
15) I need a keyed knob for the same door style - what do I order instead?
The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke privacy set is non-keyed. For a keyed opening in a comparable decorative knob, the Deltana 6901 Portland Knob Entry covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Deltana 6171 Round Knob Entry and 3381 Egg Knob Entry both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On the Emtek side of the door, a privacy set gives you a thumbturn rather than a cylinder.
16) What is the difference between the Baldwin 5077 Bethpage privacy knob and the Emtek Studio Spoke privacy knob?
Both are privacy/bed/bath knobsets. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage comes with the R027 rose as a set pairing. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke is a contemporary brass knob where the rosette is a separate selection - Disk, Square, Quincy, Watford, Wilshire, Urban Modern, or Modern Rectangular - so the same knob can be matched to round or rectangular trim already on the other doors.
17) The bathroom is in a school or clinic and needs a heavier cylindrical lock - what replaces a residential privacy knob?
For institutional traffic, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with the Global knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty knob lock in the entrance function. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke privacy knob is a residential set.
18) What finishes does the Emtek Spoke knob come in, and can I get unlacquered brass that patinas?
Ten finishes: 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). US3NL is the living finish, it will darken with handling. Emtek also allows a split finish on this set, so the knob can differ from the rosette if you are matching two schemes in one room.
19) If I want one part number that covers both the entry and the bath door, is there a knob combo pack instead?
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. The Emtek Studio Brass Spoke privacy set is ordered per opening as a single function - privacy/bed/bath - with its own latch, strike plate, and dust box in the box.
