Pamex FTF910 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The FTF Baron knobset goes into the standard residential prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, with a 2-3/8 inch backset latch as standard. If your door already has a knob or lever in it, that's almost certainly the hole pattern you have, so it drops straight in.
2) What door thickness does the Pamex FTF knob lockset work on, and can it go on a thicker door?
Standard range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers ordinary interior doors and typical 1-3/4 inch commercial-thickness doors. For anything thicker, up to 2-1/4 inches, the FTF needs an extension kit; the standard set will not reach.
3) How does a privacy knob lock work on a bathroom or bedroom door, and can you get in if someone is locked in?
The privacy function on the Pamex FTF locks both knobs from a turn-piece on the inside. There is no key. From the outside you release it with a coin or a screwdriver, so a property manager or a parent can get a bathroom door open without tools from the truck. No cylinder is involved in this function at all.
4) Will the Pamex FTF latch into the strike plate already in my door frame?
Most likely. The FTF ships with a 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 inch round corner full lip strike and a 1/2 inch bolt throw, which is the common residential strike size and the standard throw for a bored latch. If the frame has a square corner strike cut, you'd need to swap the strike or file the mortise; the latch itself and the throw won't change.
5) Is a Grade 3 knob lockset good enough for an apartment building bedroom or bathroom door?
Grade 3 to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 is the residential duty level, and it's the normal spec for interior bed and bath doors in multi-family. Where it isn't the right call is a corridor, an office, or anything getting commercial traffic. For those openings step up to a Grade 2 privacy knob like the Dexter C2000 Series, or Grade 1 hardware such as the Schlage D Series.
6) What privacy knob holds up better than a Grade 3 on a high-traffic bathroom door?
The Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is a Grade 2 privacy bed and bath lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, one ANSI grade above the Grade 3 Pamex FTF Baron. For a multi-family or hospitality bath door being cycled all day, the C2000 privacy knob is the step up while staying on the same door thickness range and the same privacy function.
7) Which knob should I order for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches instead of a Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob?
The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and is a privacy bed and bath function, so it reaches thicker slabs than the Pamex FTF Baron's standard 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. The Pamex FTF does have an extension kit for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors if you would rather stay on the Baron.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob from another brand?
The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock that fits the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range as the Pamex FTF Baron. Both are Grade 3 bed and bath privacy knobsets, so a BER20 drops into the same bored door prep on a bedroom or bathroom door. If the door already carries a Pamex FTF, the BER20 is the like-for-like Grade 3 privacy replacement.
9) Can I use a Cal-Royal BER00 in place of a Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob?
No. The Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance and office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway - it is keyed from outside, where the Pamex FTF Baron is a privacy bed and bath knob unlocked by a turn-piece inside and by coin or screwdriver from outside. Both are Grade 3 and both fit 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the prep matches, but a keyed entrance function on a bathroom door is the wrong function. Note that the Pamex FTF Baron does ship a 5-pin KW keyway solid brass cylinder as standard on its keyed functions.
10) What knob do I use on a commercial corridor or classroom door instead of a Pamex FTF Baron?
The Pamex FTF Baron is a residential Grade 3 knobset. For institutional openings, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom and closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function knob lock, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset that is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Those are the grades and functions a facility spec normally calls for on a corridor door.
11) Do I have to order the Pamex FTF privacy knob in a specific hand?
No handing to specify. The FTF Baron knob is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand doors, inswing or outswing. Useful if you're buying a case of them for a building and don't want to count doors.
12) I need the same Baron knob on the bedroom and the front door. Does the Pamex FTF come keyed?
The privacy FTF has no cylinder. The Baron trim is offered across entry, passage, privacy, and half dummy functions, so you can carry the same knob look through a unit and put a keyed entry version on the exterior door. The keyed versions take a 5-pin Kwikset keyway solid brass cylinder as standard, with a 5-pin Schlage C keyway available, which matters if the building is already keyed one way or the other.
13) What latch comes in the box with a Pamex FTF knobset?
A 2-3/8 inch latch with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch round corner faceplate, plus the round corner full lip strike. On the privacy set that's the plain latch; the deadlatch version is what ships on the keyed exterior functions. Other backsets and faceplate styles can be specified if your door is bored at 2-3/4.
14) Is a Baldwin 5077 Bethpage privacy knob a substitute for a Pamex FTF Baron?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob on an R027 rose, so the function matches the Pamex FTF Baron's privacy bed and bath. The difference is build and trim: the Pamex FTF Baron is a zinc die-cast residential knobset carrying ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 3, while the Baldwin 5077 is an Estate-line knob with its own rose. Confirm rose diameter against the existing trim footprint before swapping one for the other on a door already bored.
15) Will an Emtek or Omnia dummy knob work where a Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is being replaced?
Only if the door does not need to latch. The Emtek Arts and Crafts Hammered Egg knobset and the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped knob are both dummy function - surface-mounted pulls with no latch and no locking. The Pamex FTF Baron is a privacy bed and bath knobset with a 2-3/8 inch deadlatch on the exterior and a 2-3/8 inch plainlatch on the interior working through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. Swapping in a dummy leaves the bored hole and the latch bore unused.
16) I am standardizing a whole building on one knob family - can I get passage and entry to match a Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob?
The Pamex FTF Baron is built as a family: entry, privacy, passage and half dummy all run the same non-handed 2-1/8 inch cross bore prep with a 2-1/4 inch by 1-3/4 inch round corner full lip strike. If you would rather standardize on a single outside brand, the Dexter C2000 Series covers privacy, passage, entry/office and classroom as Grade 2 ball knobs across the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range, and the Cal-Royal Barrington line pairs the BER20 privacy with the BER00 entrance and the BA40 dummy on that same thickness range.
17) What finishes does the Pamex FTF Baron knob come in?
Three: 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, and 622 matte black. Those are BHMA finish numbers, so they'll read the same on hinges and other trim you're matching across a unit.
18) Is the Pamex FTF knob metal or plastic?
Zinc die-cast. That's typical for residential-grade knob trim and it's what keeps the FTF in the Grade 3 band. If you need a solid brass knob for a higher-end interior, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob or the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob are the brass options.
19) Is a Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth combo pack an alternative to a Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob?
The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the same thickness range as the Pamex FTF Baron. A combo pack bundles more than one function in a box, so it suits an exterior-plus-interior opening rather than a single bath door, where the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob with its 2-3/8 inch backset and 2-1/4 inch by 1-3/4 inch round corner full lip strike is ordered on its own.
