Deltana 6903 Portland Knob Passage

Either one. The Portland 6903 passage knob uses an adjustable latch that sets to a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into both of the two standard residential bore preps without ordering a different latch.

It covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, which takes in both the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 stock. Thicker than 1-3/4 and this tubular set is the wrong choice.

It is built as residential hardware, steel and zinc, tubular construction. For turnstile traffic like a corridor, classroom, or common area you want a graded cylindrical lock instead. The Schlage D10S passage knob is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage knob for medium traffic.

The Deltana 6903 Portland knob is a residential passage knobset in tubular form. For heavier traffic, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knob lock with the Orbit knob, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 is another Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with the Global knob, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Deltana 6903 Portland knob is a non-keyed passage/hall/closet function with no locking. For a bed or bath door use a privacy function instead: the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 privacy ball knob lock, the Pamex FTF Grade 3 Baron privacy knob lockset, the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim, or the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose.

The 6903 Portland knob is non-keyed passage function. For a keyed opening, the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with round corner adjustable latch and strike, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is Grade 2, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder and Global knob.

No handing to specify. The 6903 is universal, so one part number works on a left or right hand door, inswing or outswing. Handy if you are buying a batch for a building and do not want to count swings.

Portland is one design offered across Deltana's knob functions, so the passage 6903 is meant to be matched by the other functions in the same series and finish on adjoining doors. If you need a graded equivalent instead, Pamex offers the Baron knob in passage, privacy, and entrance versions that all share a look.

No. The 6903 Portland is a passage/hall/closet latchset with a working latch. A dummy knob is surface-mounted trim with no latch at all, used on inactive or closet doors that do not need to latch. Dummy options include the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 single dummy trim, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob, and the Bravura Biloxi Grade 2 dummy knobset.

The Deltana 6903 Portland passage knob ships with an adjustable backset for 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch prep, so one part covers either bore. The Kwikset 200P-CP Polo passage knob also uses a round corner adjustable latch with a round corner strike, and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob 6-pack is supplied with an adjustable backset for multi-door jobs. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack includes adjustable backsets and dual strikes.

The 6903 Portland is a steel and zinc knobset offered in PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome and Brushed Chrome. If you want solid brass or decorative styling, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection in passage function, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob uses the 5058 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage set comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike.
