The Emtek SELECT R-Bar Stem, Straight Knurled Grip Sectional Tubular Entry Set with Round Knob is a contemporary front door handleset from Emtek's customizable SELECT collection. Its exterior combines an R-Bar stem with a straight knurled textured grip, while the interior is paired with Emtek's Round knob. Coastal Hardware Store currently offers this configuration in Single Cylinder and Dummy functions, providing options for an operating keyed entry door or coordinated non-operating entry trim.

Available Sizes, Functions & Configurations
Single Cylinder: Uses a keyed cylinder on the exterior and a thumb turn on the interior. Emtek identifies this as the standard keyed application for a tubular entry door and notes that it is often paired with a Dummy set for symmetrical double-door installations.
Dummy: A non-operating configuration with no latch. Emtek specifies that its Dummy entry sets still require a bore hole, are surface mounted to the door, and are often used with a Single Cylinder entry set on double or French doors.
Design & Finish Options
The R-Bar stem gives this SELECT entry set a clean linear profile, while the knurled grip adds visible texture to the exterior hardware. The Round knob keeps the interior side simple and coordinates with the Contemporary design theme Emtek assigns to this configuration. Finish availability varies by configuration and should be selected from the current product options.
Installation & Compatibility
Emtek's tubular sectional installation guides show 2-1/8-inch diameter bores and accommodate either a 2-3/8-inch or 2-3/4-inch backset. The Dummy configuration does not use an operating latch but still requires a bore hole and is surface mounted. Confirm your existing door preparation and required function before ordering.
