Emtek Wrought Steel Knobsets - Savannah Knob, Passage Set

Yes. The Savannah wrought steel passage set drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep, and the standard latch is set for a 2-3/8 inch backset with 2-3/4 inch available if the existing bore is drilled deeper. Backset is a required selection when you order, so measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you pick. If the doors were prepped for a common residential knob you should not need any new boring.

Two thickness figures come with this set, so go by the one that matches your order. The set covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick as specified, which is the normal range for interior residential doors. For anything thicker than that, tell us the actual door thickness at the time of order, since door thickness is a field you can fill in on the order.

It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is required to hang it on an already bored door. The latch faceplate is available in round corner or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in the door edge, and you also choose the latch itself between the standard latch and the 28 degree rotation latch.

It is a residential product, not a commercial one. For a rental turn, a house, or a light duty interior door it is the right kind of part. For a commercial corridor or an institutional facility, look at a graded cylindrical passage lock instead: the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob, and the Falcon W101 is Grade 2 with a 2-3/4 inch backset.

No. The Emtek Savannah wrought steel passage set is a working latch, sold complete with latch and strike plate, and fits a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. A dummy knob is surface trim with no latch at all, used on a fixed or ball-catch door: the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy, the BEST 6K single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty, the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Omnia 434/0, 442/00 and 458/0 are solid brass single dummy knob sets. Order a dummy only when the door does not need to latch.

The Emtek Savannah wrought steel passage knob is a non-keyed tubular passage set for residential interior doors, and the nearest decorative equivalents are the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5048 rose, which is preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. The Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is another passage-function solid brass option. All three are passage function, so they latch without locking, the same way the Savannah does.

The Emtek Savannah wrought steel knob is a residential set. For commercial traffic, graded cylindrical passage knobs cover the same hall and closet function: the Schlage D10S Orbit knob passage latch is Grade 1 heavy duty, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Global knob passage/closet lock is Grade 1 and takes doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset that is fire rated and fits 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors. At Grade 2 the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 both cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Savannah wrought steel knob set is passage function and non-keyed, so it has no locking button and is not right for a bedroom or bath. Privacy-function knobs handle that opening: the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Four choices. Finish, either Flat Black Steel or Satin Steel. Rosette, #1, #2 or #3, and any wrought steel rosette can be paired with the Savannah knob. Latch, standard or the 28 degree rotation latch. Backset, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, which is a required pick. There is also a comment field if the door thickness is out of the ordinary.

The 28 degree rotation latch shortens how far the knob turns before the latch retracts, which some people prefer for feel or for limited hand movement. It is offered on the Savannah in both finishes and all three rosettes. Worth knowing: the CF (custom function) mechanism is not available on wrought steel products, so the 28 degree latch is the rotation option here.

For hall and closet doors, yes, this is the passage version and it takes the same bore and backset on every opening. Bedrooms and bathrooms need privacy function instead, which is a separate set. Ordering the same finish and the same rosette number across all the doors keeps the look consistent, since the Savannah knob can be paired with any wrought steel rosette.

Tubular. It installs through a bored hole in the door face with a tubular latch in the edge, not a rectangular mortise pocket. That matters if you are replacing an old mortise lock, because a mortise door has a large pocket cut in the edge that a tubular set will not cover without a filler plate or a new door.

Several graded passage knobs cover the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is Grade 2, the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob is Grade 3, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and round corner strike. Those are plainer utility knobs; the Savannah is the decorative steel option if the look matters on the door.

The Emtek Savannah wrought steel knob is offered non-keyed in passage function, in Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel with #1, #2 or #3 rosette. To carry one knob style across both the interior and the entry door in a single order, look at a combo pack instead: the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack ships with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob is offered in both passage with the 5048 rose and privacy with the 5148 rose, so the same knob covers hall and bedroom doors.

For plain hall and closet duty, the Kwikset 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. The Pamex FTF Baron knob passage lockset is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow MK01 and RK01 are Grade 2 passage cylindrical knobs for the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range, and the Bravura Albany and Lynchburg round-trim passage knobsets are Grade 2. These are standard-finish utility knobs, where the Savannah is a wrought steel decorative knob offered in Flat Black Steel and Satin Steel.

The Emtek Savannah wrought steel knob is a non-keyed passage set, so it always latches free. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 to 2 inches thick, which latches and secures on a code rather than a key. It is a keypad lock rather than a decorative wrought steel knob, so it changes the look of the opening.

A passage set like the Emtek Savannah wrought steel knob never locks. A storeroom function keeps the outside knob locked at all times: the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Sargent 6G04 is the Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet single cylinder version. For an entrance/office knob that can be left unlocked during the day, the BEST 8K is Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office knob lock with a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
