Emtek 8100.NW.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a passage knobset and where is it used?
A passage knobset provides turning handle function without locking mechanism. Used for hallways, closets, and rooms where privacy lock is not needed. Always turns freely from both sides.
2) What door thickness works with this Norwich knobset?
Standard door thickness is 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Check manufacturer specifications for exact range. Verify door thickness before ordering to ensure proper fit and function.
3) Is this knobset handed for left or right doors?
Passage knobsets are non-handed and work on both left and right swing doors. No need to specify door swing direction when ordering passage function.
4) How does classic brass finish hold up in high-traffic areas?
Classic brass develops natural patina with use and time. Finish may show wear patterns in heavy-use locations. Consider oil-rubbed bronze or satin nickel for high-traffic commercial applications.
5) What grade rating does this Emtek knobset meet?
Verify specific grade rating with manufacturer documentation. Emtek residential hardware typically meets residential duty requirements. Check project specifications for commercial grade needs.
6) Does this work with standard door prep and backset?
Uses standard 2-1/8" bore hole with 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset options. Follow manufacturer's installation template for precise measurements and strike plate positioning.
7) What components are included with the Norwich knobset?
Typically includes both knobs, latch mechanism, strike plate, and mounting hardware. Verify complete contents list with product specifications before installation.
8) Can I install this knobset on a pre-hung door?
Yes, works with pre-hung doors that have standard bore preparation. May require strike plate adjustment for proper latch alignment. Test operation before final installation.
9) How do I maintain the classic brass finish?
Clean with mild soap and water only. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes. Natural aging and patina development is normal for brass finishes.
10) Are there matching Norwich handlesets available?
Check Emtek products for coordinating Norwich handlesets and deadbolts in matching classic brass finish. Maintain consistent style throughout project.
11) What if the knob feels loose after installation?
Check all mounting screws for proper tightness. Ensure latch mechanism is fully seated in door bore. Verify door prep dimensions match hardware requirements.
12) Will this knobset work on hollow core doors?
Works on hollow core doors with proper reinforcement around bore area. Ensure adequate material thickness for secure mounting. Some hollow doors may need additional blocking.
