The set fits any door between 1-3/8" to 2-1/4" thick with a 2-1/8" bore standard door prep. The standard latch is for a 2-3/8" backset, but a 2-3/4" backset can be specified if required. The 28-degree latch is available for an additional charge.

The Emtek Orb OR US19 is available in dummy, single-sided, privacy, and passage functions. The dummy function is surface-mounted and does not have a latch or require a bore hole.

The rosette or backplate is supported by springs that return the door handles to their original "rest" position to prevent sag. A plastic bushing located in the joint between the handle and rosette ensures friction-free wear and long-lasting operation. The set includes a permanent clip that connects the door handles to the rosettes and backplates.

The Emtek Orb Door Knob is a versatile and modern product that can be customized to fit your style and functional needs. Here is a step-by-step guide to installing the Emtek Orb Door Knob:

Step 1: Prepare the Door

Before installing the Emtek Orb Door Knob, ensure that your door meets the required specifications. The door should be between 1-3/8" to 2-1/4" thick with a 2-1/8" bore standard door prep. If your door thickness is greater than 1-3/4", be sure to specify this when ordering.

Step 2: Gather the Necessary Parts

• 2 knobs with rosette backplates (1 for each side of the door)
• 1 screw pack (includes mounting screws for rosette, strike plate, and faceplate)
• 1 privacy pin (with privacy sets only)
• Dummy mounting plates (with dummy sets only)

Step 3: Install the Knob and Rosette

• Place the rosette (selected finish side down) on a flat surface.
• Insert the spindle into the rosette, ensuring the clip is facing up.
• Place the knob onto the spindle and secure it with the set screw provided. Tighten the screw to eliminate any wobble.
• Insert the assembled knob and rosette into the door, feeding the spindle through the bore hole. Secure it with the provided screws.

Step 4: Install the Strike Plate and Latch

• Place the strike plate against the door edge, ensuring it aligns with the latch.
• Secure the strike plate with the provided screws.
• Insert the latch into the edge of the door, ensuring the beveled edge faces the strike plate.
• Adjust the latch to the desired backset (2-3/8" or 2-3/4") and secure it with the provided screws.

Step 5: Test the Installation

Once the knob, rosette, strike plate, and latch are installed, test the operation of the door knob to ensure smooth and proper functioning.

Product Features

Emtek door knobs are forged from solid brass, yielding thick and heavy products with a solid look and feel. The brass door handles and rosettes are hand-buffed for maximum polish. Emtek's latch nose-bolts, strikeplates, and faceplates are also solid brass.

The door knobs are supported by springs behind the rosette or backplate, which return the handles to their original "rest" position to prevent sag. Latches are heavy-duty diecast construction with strong internal springs and solid brass nose bolts. A plastic bushing located in the joint between the handle and rosette ensures a friction-free wear surface, preventing metal from bearing on metal and providing smooth, long-lasting operation.

Each door handle has a set screw, which eliminates wobbling when tightened. The handles are connected to the rosettes and backplates with a permanent clip, and the threaded tubes inside the lock are machined brass.
