Emtek Wrought Steel Knobsets - Savannah Knob, Privacy Set

Yes. The Savannah privacy knobset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2-1/4 inch thick. That range covers both the older 1-3/8 inch interior doors and the 1-3/4 inch doors used in newer construction, so no special prep is needed on a door already bored for a tubular lockset.

Backset is a required choice on the Savannah knobset, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch, which is what most residential interior doors are bored for; if your bore is set back further from the edge, specify 2-3/4 inch when you order. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore to tell which you have.

Privacy means a bed and bath lock: it pushes or turns to lock from inside, with an emergency release outside, and there is no key and no cylinder. The Savannah knobset is non-keyed. If you need a key on that opening, the Savannah privacy set is the wrong function.

Residential. The Wrought Steel Savannah is a decorative residential knobset. For a commercial bathroom or a high-traffic multi-family opening, look at a graded cylindrical privacy lock instead: the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy knob or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob are both built for that duty, and both fit 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Savannah knob in privacy function is part of Emtek's Wrought Steel collection with a Rustic Living look. For a decorative privacy knob in the same function, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob both carry privacy/bed/bath function, and the Deltana 6112 fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Baldwin also builds the Estate 5000 Baltimore knob as a preconfigured privacy lock with 5148 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike.

The Emtek Savannah knob in privacy function is a residential wrought steel set, so buyers who need a graded privacy knob usually move to the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob, a Grade 2 non-clutching non-keyed set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Pamex FTF and Cal-Royal BER20 are Grade 3 privacy knobs covering the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thickness range. All three keep the same bed and bath privacy function as the Savannah.

The Savannah wrought steel knob set is non-keyed in privacy function, so a door that needs a key takes a different lock. Keyed knob options include the Kwikset 400P Polo entry knob with 6AL latch and RCS strike, a Grade 3 entrance lock in the clear-pack 400P-CP for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with a Kwikset keyway, and the Dexter C2000 entry/office knob in Grade 2. Decorative keyed knobs include the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Savannah wrought steel knob is a residential tubular lockset in privacy function, which suits bedroom and bath doors. Commercial openings that call for a graded, fire-rated or heavy duty knob are served by the Falcon W101, a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a fire rating and 2-3/4 inch backset, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Schlage D10S Grade 1 heavy duty passage knob in the D Series, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Savannah knob set is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and on the entry side the Deltana 3381 Egg knob and 6171 Round knob also cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Corbin Russwin CK4851 Grade 1 entrance/office knob lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 passage knobset reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

The 28 degree rotation latch shortens the knob turn compared with the standard latch, so the knob travels less to retract the bolt. Both latch types are offered across the Wrought Steel Savannah privacy set. Note that Emtek's CF mechanism is not offered on Wrought Steel products, so the 28 degree latch is the reduced-rotation option here.

Two finishes, Flat Black Steel (FBS) and Satin Steel (SWS), and three rosette shapes, #1, #2 and #3. Both finishes are available with all three rosettes and with either latch. The Savannah knob can be ordered with any Wrought Steel rosette, so you can match it to other Wrought Steel trim already in the house.

No. The Savannah privacy set ships complete with the latch and strike plate, both knobs and the rosettes. The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so it matches whichever mortise is already cut into the door edge.

The Savannah privacy set covers the bed and bath doors. For the hall and closet doors you want the same Savannah knob in a passage function, which is a separate non-locking set in the same Wrought Steel collection and the same FBS or SWS finish, so the trim matches down the hallway. Order the privacy sets only where a door needs to lock.

The Savannah privacy set locks from inside the room for bedroom and bath use. Where the door only needs to latch - a hall or closet - a passage knob is the substitute: Pamex FTF Baron in passage function is a Grade 3 set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 passage knob is Grade 2 over the same thickness range, and Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial with 5058 rose is a decorative passage knob. For a door that needs no latch at all, such as a fixed leaf of a pair, a dummy knob like the Omnia 458/0 or the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is the right part.

The Savannah wrought steel knob covers the privacy/bed/bath function only, so a whole-house package means pairing it or choosing a line that spans functions. Baldwin Estate 5000 offers the Baltimore knob preconfigured in both passage with 5048 rose and privacy with 5148 rose, each with 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. Pamex FTF Baron covers privacy, passage and entrance/office in Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Dexter C2000 spans privacy, passage, entry/office and classroom in Grade 2. Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes.

The Savannah knob is built as a wrought steel decorative set with a choice of rosette. Where the opening only needs a working knob, the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim and the Pamex FT3 Saturn Grade 3 knob lockset both cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike. Bravura Albany and Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim.

A privacy knob such as the Savannah unlocks from the outside with an emergency release, which is the point on a bed or bath door and the wrong behavior on a locked store. For those openings the storeroom function applies: the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with single cylinder, the Sargent 8XG04 is Grade 1 heavy duty with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the BEST 8K Series entrance function single cylinder knob is a Grade 1 heavy duty lock.

The Savannah knob set uses a 2-3/8 inch standard latch with 2-3/4 inch called out on the order when the door is prepped that way. Among the alternatives, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock is built with a 2-3/4 inch backset, as is the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom knob lock. On the residential side, the Kwikset 200P-CP and 400P-CP ship with round corner adjustable latches, and Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob comes with adjustable backsets and dual strikes.

The Savannah knob set uses a non-keyed privacy function operated from inside the room. Where a code is preferred over a key or a thumbturn, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function that fits doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick. It is a passage-function keyless lock rather than a bed and bath privacy set.
