Emtek 8221EUS14 Egg Knob Privacy Lockset Polished Nickel

Product Description

The EMTEK 8221EUS14 is a privacy knob lockset featuring an egg-style knob paired with a rectangular rose plate. It is designed for interior privacy applications such as bathrooms and bedrooms, where a turn-button or push-button lock is needed without a keyed cylinder. The unit ships with a 2-3/8 inch backset and is compatible with doors ranging from 1-1/4 inches to 2 inches in thickness. The finish is Polished Nickel with a Lifetime designation, indicating a durable plated surface intended to resist tarnishing and corrosion under normal interior conditions. Installation is typically handled by a finish carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer.

This lockset is suited for residential interior doors including bathroom, bedroom, and other privacy-required spaces. The rectangular rose provides a clean, contemporary escutcheon profile that works with both modern and transitional interior design schemes. The egg knob form factor offers a rounded, comfortable grip. The 2-3/8 inch backset fits standard interior door preparations found in most residential construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a finish carpenter or skilled DIYer using standard door hardware tools including a screwdriver and latch boring kit if the door is not pre-bored. Confirm the door bore diameter and backset measurement before installation. Do not overtighten mounting screws, as this can distort the rose plate or affect latch function. Verify the privacy turn piece is accessible and unobstructed after installation.
