Emtek Wrought Steel Knobsets - Madison Black Knob, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep is needed. The Madison dummy knobset from Emtek's Wrought Steel collection is surface mounted, so it screws to the face of the door with no 2-1/8 inch cross bore and no latch bore. That makes it the usual choice for closet doors, inactive leaves of a pair, and french door slabs you do not want to drill.

1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which covers standard interior slabs and the common 1-3/4 inch door. Because it is surface mounted, thickness only affects the through-fastening, not a latch chassis.

The Emtek Madison wrought steel set is a dummy function with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet knob, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 passage knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2 over the same thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. In decorative brass, the Omnia 434/PA is the latching version of the egg-shaped knob.

The Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 cylindrical non-keyed knob in the A Series, rated heavy duty, and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch thick. The Emtek Madison Madison dummy set is a residential wrought steel knob that mounts to the surface with no door prep. Choose the A170 when a graded, commercial-rated dummy trim is called for; choose the Emtek when the decorative wrought steel look and surface mounting matter.

Yes, three rosette styles are offered, #1, #2 and #3, and the Madison knob can be ordered with any Wrought Steel rosette. Choose the rosette that matches the other Wrought Steel trim already on the job so the dummy doors read the same as the working doors.

Two: Flat Black Steel (FBS) and Satin Steel (SWS). Both are offered across all three rosette styles, so you can match a black-trim opening or a brushed steel one without changing rosette design.

It is a residential product in Emtek's Wrought Steel decorative line, styled for a rustic look. For a school, hospital or multi-family corridor where an ANSI/BHMA grade is specified, look at graded cylindrical hardware instead, like the Grade 1 Schlage D Series or the Grade 2 Corbin Russwin CK4400 Series.

The Madison dummy is trim only, so a door that has to latch needs a separate passage or privacy set. Within a decorative residential look, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob are comparable choices; for a plainer builder-grade match, the Pamex FTF Baron is offered in passage and privacy.

They share the dummy function but not the construction. The Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob in the Barrington BA series for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Emtek Madison is a wrought steel residential knob set sold as a pair, surface mounted with no door prep, offered in Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel with a choice of #1, #2 or #3 rosette. The Emtek is the decorative route; the BA40 is a plain cylindrical-style dummy knob.

Within decorative dummy knobs, the Omnia 434/0 is a traditional egg-shaped single dummy in solid brass, the Omnia 458/0 is a single dummy latchset with a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset. The Emtek Madison is a wrought steel knob in a rustic styling, with rosette choices of #1, #2 or #3.

The Emtek Madison wrought steel knob is a residential dummy set. For heavy commercial use, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance knob lock, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range.

Yes, the range matches. The Emtek Madison wrought steel dummy pair suits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the same range listed for the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack. The difference is preparation: the Emtek surface mounts with no door prep, while those residential locks use a standard bored latch.

Both are dummy function, so neither latches. The Emtek Madison is a surface-mounted Wrought Steel pair with a choice of three rosettes and two steel finishes. The Bravura Biloxi is a Grade 2 dummy knobset with round trim. Pick on appearance and whether you need one side or both.
