Emtek Classic Brass Knobsets - Norwich Knob, Dummy (Pair)

No door prep is needed. The Norwich dummy pair is surface mount, so it screws to the face of the door rather than dropping into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. That makes it the fix for a closet or double door where there is no existing hole and you do not want to drill one. If your door already has a standard cylindrical bore, a dummy that fills that hole, like the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, is the better match.

Yes, it covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans the common older interior thickness and the standard modern one. Because it is surface mounted, the thickness only matters for the through-fixing, not for a spindle length or a chassis adjustment.

Yes. The Norwich knob can be ordered on any of the brass rosettes, which run #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford, and Wilshire. Pick the same rosette your active passage and privacy sets already carry and the dummy will read as part of the same set down the hallway.

The Emtek Norwich dummy knob is a brass, non-keyed dummy knob in a residential collection, sold as a pair for surface mount with no door prep. On the commercial side, the Schlage A170 Single Dummy Trim is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical dummy knob in the A Series, and the BEST 6K Series 6K-1DT is a Grade 2 medium duty single dummy trim. Both of those are single dummy trims, so a matched pair on a double door means ordering two, while the Norwich dummy ships as a set of two knobs with the rosettes.

A dummy knob has no latch and no door prep, so it will not hold a door closed. For a latching hall or closet door, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset is a passage function in solid brass, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose is a passage/hall/closet function, and the Pamex FTF30 Baron knob is a Grade 3 passage lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For bed and bath, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is a privacy function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Emtek Norwich dummy knob is a residential brass knobset with a dummy function and no latch. For commercial openings that need a rated cylindrical lock, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset in passage/closet latch function, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating and an interchangeable core for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch with an Orbit knob in the D Series.

Several knob products share the knob shape without sharing the function. The Sargent 78-2875 is an outside knob only with B design in the 7800 Series, and the Sargent 28C-KNOB and Imperial USA ED-BKL580 are exit device trims, so all three mount to an exit device rather than serving as a standalone pair on a door. The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob and 200P-CP ship with a latch and a round corner strike, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes. The Emtek Norwich dummy is a surface-mount pair with no latch and no door prep.

The Emtek Norwich dummy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a 2 inch door, the Deltana 6171 Round knob entry, Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob privacy are all rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with Global knob also covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset goes to 2-1/4 inch.

No. The Emtek Norwich dummy is surface mounted with no door prep and no latch bore, while passage knobsets such as the Arrow MK01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical knob lock, the Arrow RK01 Grade 2 passage ball knob and the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage cylindrical ball knob all fit a bored door and carry a retracting latch. On a false or non-operating door leaf with no prep cut, the dummy pair is what mounts; a passage set would need the door bored and a strike in the frame.

Those functions need a keyed cylindrical lock, which the Emtek Norwich dummy is not - it is a non-keyed dummy. For storeroom, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder. For classroom, the Dexter C2000 classroom cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, keyed, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function single cylinder knob lock.

Ten: Flat Black (US19), French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Polished Nickel Lifetime (US14), Satin Brass (US4), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). The two Lifetime finishes are the ones specified when the look has to stay put. Unlacquered Brass is the opposite by design, it is bare brass that darkens and patinas with handling, so do not order it for a job where the owner expects the hardware to stay bright.

Solid brass, both the knob and the rosette, from Emtek's Classic Brass collection in a traditional American style. It is built and specified as residential hardware, so for a corridor, classroom, or storeroom in a commercial building you want a graded cylindrical lock instead, such as the Grade 1 Corbin Russwin CK4310 or the Grade 2 BEST 6K Series dummy trim.

Yes, split finish is an option on the order. Enter the second finish in the split finish field when you order and the pair ships with a different finish on each face, which is how you keep a closet or pantry door matching the kitchen on one side and the hall on the other. Without that note, both knobs ship in the single finish selected.

A catch, ordered separately. Because the Norwich dummy is surface mounted and has no latch, the door itself is held by whatever catch you fit, typically a ball catch or roller catch in the top edge or a magnetic catch at the stop. The knobs are a pull and a matching visual only. Nothing else is required to hang the knobs themselves, the set arrives complete with both knobs and both rosettes.

The Bravura Biloxi with round trim is a Grade 2 dummy knobset, and the Cal-Royal BA40 is a dummy knob cylindrical lock in the Barrington BA series rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both give the same non-functioning pull-only knob as the Emtek Norwich dummy, which also fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The trade is finish and trim range: the Biloxi comes with round trim and the BA40 with its own series trim, while the Norwich is a brass knob orderable with any brass rosette in ten finishes.

Within the same brass knob family the Norwich comes in ten finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), Polished Brass - Lifetime (US3) and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), so finish is the thing to match across an opening set. Where a keyed or privacy function is required elsewhere, comparable traditional knobsets include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob privacy lock with 5148 rose and 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

It is catalogued as tubular type within Emtek's knobset range, but in the dummy version there is no chassis or latch running through the door. It is a fixed knob on a rosette, mounted to the door face. The tubular designation matters when you are ordering the matching passage or privacy Norwich sets for the same opening group, since those do go through a bored door.

The Sure-Loc Arapaho and the Sure-Loc Modern Bergen round knob are separate knob series with their own trim. The Emtek Norwich is a traditional American Classic brass knob that can be ordered with any brass rosette, including the #8, Regular, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Watford and Wilshire rosettes, in dummy function as a pair - so the knob and rose are specified independently rather than as one fixed pairing.
