On the other hand, I have black Emtek knobs with the Savannah knob -- which has the sandcast finish (non-smooth, like an eggshell appearance) -- and they are just fine after more than 15 years of use in my house. Savannah knob

Are you looking for just the knobs or for complete passageway or lock sets?

All my doorknobs as well as my entrance set are Emtek. I would not recommend them (if you are getting their flat black finish). We’ve been in our new house only 4 months and the knobs have lost their finish (we got flat black) and instead of them being flat, they are all shiny now. In addition to that, the small interior locks are peeling and the paint is coming off. I can’t comment on their other finishes, but the flat black is a definite no go. I only found out after they were installed that they have no finish guarantee for some of their finishes (flat black being one of them).

DO NOT BUY EMTEK! After much research and sample comparisons and one trial install I finally made the decision and bought 22 Emtek interior door sets (lever style, oiled-rubbed bronze) for a light remodel of our home. I bought Emtek thinking I was buying premium hardware because they look and feel premium and are priced premium. They are trash! The lock pins on the privacy sets literally twist and fall out every couple months (we've lost several and went through the pain of finding replacements so we could, you know, lock the bathroom doors!). Two levers broke, as in floppy no longer functional broke. On our most used door the finish wore off after about two years. And lastly every single mounting plate loosens and I have to go around and straighten up the handles and retighten every few months (and you can't tighten too much or the lever becomes really stiff and stays stuck after turning - so awful!). Will never buy Emtek, please let my mistake save you from disappointment!

I have the Emtek geometric knobs and pulls, and they are really nice. They are so strudy, have a nice heft, and a nice "rounded" back to them even though mine are linear looking. I got mine 40% off as well, but not from pullsdirect.

Millworkman - my OP is only a month old. I am still checking in to this thread. Thanks Focalpoint for posting! I've chosen my Emtek knob, but with the holidays, haven't had it installed yet. Now it's 3 degrees out so will wait until next week when the weather will be more normal.

We had a five-bedroom, six-bath house with exactly those knobs. After seven years--including two with the subsequent owner--only a bit of shiny brass revealed on a couple of them. To keep the look consistent, I eventually interchanged them to balance the wear. I'd use them again in an instant. The only problem was with the privacy lockpins that tended to fall out; probably could be cured with a dab of thread locker.

I'm looking for passage and dummy knobs. Thanks for the heads up on the flat black though. That's just what I was planning to get.

Here are my Emtek knobs (ones a passage that still has its finish intact and the other is an entrance knob that has its finished rubbed off). It makes no difference though which kind of knob it is ... the more use they get, the shinier they become.

nidnay, where did you purchase your knobs? I contacted Emtek and they said they have a 5 year warranty on the finish including black. I would contact Emtek directly if you haven’t

I will also point out that if, after a number of years, you have an issue with the finish on a painted knob, it's very easy to renew it if it's a matte black. Just clean it with a degreaser or soap and water, and then give it one or two light coats from a spray can of Rustoleum.

My front door set is Emtek with flat black finish that I've had for three years. No peeling or loss of matte finish. Emtek is very good quality.

Bunny....that’s good to know. Maybe I got a bad batch or something.

I purchased my Emtek knobs from Homestead Hardware. Best prices that I saw and their service was excellent. Mine are ORB backplates with a crystal knob, used about 15 months with zero issues with the finish.
