Omnia 434TD/234F.PA.10B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Omnia 434/PA knob lock or does it just latch?
The 434/PA is a passage set, so it never locks. Both knobs always turn and the latch retracts from either side, which is what you want on hallways, closets, laundry rooms and secondary bedroom doors. If you need the door to lock from the inside, you need a privacy version instead, not this one.
2) What backset do I order for the Omnia 434 egg knob set?
Both standard residential backsets are offered, 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing 2-1/8 inch bore: most interior residential doors are 2-3/8, while 2-3/4 shows up on heavier or commercial-prepped doors. Ordering the wrong one leaves the knob off-center to the bore.
3) Should I order the full lip strike or the T strike with this Omnia knob set?
Two strikes are offered on the 434 passage set: a full lip strike and a T strike. Match the prep already cut in your jamb. If the old strike sat in a rectangular mortise with a wrapped lip covering the jamb edge, take the full lip strike. If the jamb is routed for the narrower T shape, take the T strike. Getting this right is the difference between a drop-in swap and re-chiseling the frame.
4) I need a fire-rated passage knob for a rated door. Is this the right choice?
No. Look at the Falcon W101 or the Falcon X101 instead, both of which we list with a fire rating and a passage/closet function. The Omnia 434 is a residential decorative knob set and should be kept to non-rated interior openings.
5) What is a decorative alternative to the Omnia 434 egg knob if I need a keyed entry or privacy version instead?
The 434/PA is passage only. For a similar traditional egg profile with a key, Deltana's 3381 Egg Knob is an entry function set for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. For a decorative privacy knob in the same design family, Baldwin's Estate 5011 Colonial and Deltana's 6112 St. Thomas are options, the Deltana also covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
6) Is the Omnia 434/PA suitable for a commercial corridor, or do I need a graded lock?
The 434/PA is designated residential and is built for interior doors in homes and multi-family properties. For a commercial corridor with an ANSI/BHMA grade on the drawing, look at heavy duty graded passage knobs: the Schlage D10S Grade 1 passage latch with Orbit knob, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset, or the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset if Grade 2 satisfies the spec.
7) What is a comparable passage knobset to the Omnia 434/PA from another brand?
The Omnia 434/PA is a non-keyed passage knob latchset for interior openings. Close functional counterparts include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Bravura Dallas passage knobset with rectangle trim, and the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in passage function. All three are passage/hall/closet function knobs like the 434/PA; the Bravura Dallas and the Pamex FTF are both rated Grade 2 and Grade 3 respectively, while the 434/PA is a solid brass residential set.
8) I need a knob for a bedroom or bathroom door, not a hall door - what should I use instead of the Omnia 434/PA?
The 434/PA is passage function, so it has no locking mechanism and is intended for halls, closets and similar openings. For a bedroom or bathroom, choose a privacy function knob: the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob, or the Pamex FTF Baron in privacy function.
9) The opening needs to be keyed - what keyed knob replaces the Omnia 434/PA?
The 434/PA is a non-keyed passage latchset, so a keyed opening needs a different lock. Options include the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob with 6AL latch and RCS strike, the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob with Kwikset keyway, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob in entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with conventional cylinder. The Deltana 3381 is the closest in styling, since it is also an egg-shaped knob.
10) Can the Omnia 434/PA be used on a fire-rated door?
The Omnia 434/PA is a residential passage latchset. Where a fire-rated opening is involved, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset are both listed as fire rated, with the X101 covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick.
11) The closet door needs to stay locked from the corridor side - is the Omnia 434/PA the right choice?
No. The 434/PA is a passage function latchset, which operates freely from both sides with no locking. For a closet or storeroom that must stay secured, use a storeroom function lock such as the Sargent 6G04 Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with single cylinder or the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
12) What rose shapes can I get on the Omnia 434 egg knob, and can I match other doors in the house?
Five rose shapes are available: Traditional, Arched, Modern, Rectangular and Square. That is how you keep one knob design consistent while matching the trim language of different rooms, for example square or rectangular roses on a contemporary wing and traditional roses on the older side of a building.
13) What finishes does the Omnia 434 passage knob come in for matching existing hardware?
Seven finishes: Polished Brass, Satin Brass, Polished Nickel Plated, Satin Nickel Plated, Polished Chrome Plated, Black Oil-Rubbed and Tuscan Bronze. Bear in mind the base is solid brass, and the living finishes like Black Oil-Rubbed will change tone with handling, so a fleet replacement on aged doors may not read identical on day one.
14) Can I use the Omnia 434 on a closet door that only needs a knob on one side?
No. The 434/PA is a working latchset with a knob on both sides and a live latch. For a closet or false door that only needs trim on one face, order a dummy instead, for example the Schlage A170 single dummy or the BEST 6K single dummy trim. Emtek also offers dummy knobs in pairs for double doors.
15) Do I need to specify handing for the Omnia 434 knob set?
No handing to call out. It is a cylindrical passage set with identical knobs on both faces, so it works on a left or right hand door either way. What you do have to specify is backset (2-3/8 or 2-3/4), rose shape, strike type and finish.
16) What is the difference between the Omnia 434/PA and a dummy knob?
The 434/PA is a working latchset - it includes a latch and a strike, with Full Lip and T strike options and 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backsets, so it latches the door closed. A dummy knob has no latch and is surface-mounted for pull-only openings such as an inactive leaf of a pair. Dummy options include the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg dummy pair.
17) I want an egg-shaped knob but with a keyed exterior function - what matches the look of the Omnia 434/PA?
The Omnia 434 uses a traditional egg-shaped knob in solid brass. The Deltana 3381 Egg Knob is also an egg-shaped knob and is offered in entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Emtek Arts and Crafts hammered egg knobset carries a similar egg profile but in a dummy function, so it does not latch.
18) What is a simpler passage knob alternative to the Omnia 434/PA for a rental turn?
The 434/PA is a solid brass set with five rose shapes and seven finishes, which suits design-led interiors. For a straightforward rental turn the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, and the Kwikset 200P-CP pairs a round corner adjustable latch with a round corner strike. The Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Sure-Loc also offers the Bergen round knob in a 6-pack with adjustable backset for doing several doors at once.
19) Which passage knob should I pick if the door thickness is over 1-3/4 inch?
Where the leaf is thicker than 1-3/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. By contrast the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Grade 2 passage lock, the Arrow MK01 and the Dexter C2000 passage knob all stop at 1-3/4 inch.
20) Can I match the Omnia 434/PA passage knob with a keyed entry knob on the same job?
The 434/PA covers interior passage openings only. To carry a consistent knob across an exterior door on the same job, Schlage Residential offers the F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Kwikset pairs the 200P Polo passage knob with the 400P Polo keyed entry knob in the same Polo design.
21) Is a solid brass knob set worth it over a builder-grade passage knob?
The difference is the substrate and the finish depth. The Omnia 434 is solid brass rather than plated steel or zinc, which is why it carries finishes like Satin Brass and Black Oil-Rubbed that wear rather than flake. A builder-grade alternative such as the Kwikset 200P Polo or the Pamex FTF Grade 3 passage set costs less to spec across many doors and is graded for the basics, but will not give you the same hand feel or the rose shape choices.
22) Is a keyless combination knob an alternative to the Omnia 434/PA?
They serve different purposes. The 434/PA is a mechanical passage latchset with no code or key. The Lockey 3830 mechanical keyless combination knob lock has an auto-locking passage function and fits doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, so it controls access by code rather than operating freely from both sides.
