Emtek Classic Brass Knobsets - Norwich Knob, Privacy Set

Yes. The Norwich privacy knobset is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, using a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore. That covers both the 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older homes and the 1-3/4 inch doors used on newer or heavier openings. One exception on bore size: order it with the STRETTO rosette and the door needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore plus a two-hole prep for the thumbturn instead.

Backset is a required choice, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. The standard latch ships 2-3/8 inch, which is the usual residential setting; specify 2-3/4 inch if that is what your door is bored for. Measure from the door edge to the center of the 2-1/8 inch bore hole and pick to match. Getting this wrong is the most common reason a knob set will not go on the door.

It ships as a complete set, latch and strike plate included. Nothing else to buy to hang it on a bored door. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match whichever your existing door mortise is cut for and you avoid re-chiseling the edge.

It is a residential, solid brass tubular lockset, built for the look on a house or a high-end unit rather than for graded commercial traffic. For a corridor or a facility opening where you need a graded cylindrical lock, look at the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 privacy knob or the Cal-Royal BER20 Grade 3 privacy knob instead, both listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Not this one. The Norwich privacy set has a thumbturn lock for bedrooms and baths. A hall, closet or pantry door wants a passage function, which latches but never locks, or a dummy knob if the door only needs a pull. Emtek builds the Norwich knob in those functions too, so you keep the same knob and rosette across every door and only the mechanism changes.

The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is the closest decorative-brand parallel. Both are privacy/bed/bath knobs, and the Emtek Norwich is a brass knobset in a traditional style. The Deltana 6112 covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so it reaches thicker doors than the Norwich range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is a second decorative option in the same privacy function. Where the Norwich differs is configurability: it is ordered against ten finishes from Flat Black (US19) through Unlacquered Brass (US3NL) and seven rosette shapes including Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Watford and Wilshire, while the Baldwin 5077 is tied to its R027 rose.

Two Grade 3 privacy knob locks cover the same bed and bath function without the decorative brass build. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim, and the Pamex FTF Baron FTF10 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset. Both list a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the range the Emtek Norwich covers. The Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is a Grade 2 privacy lock over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range if a higher grade is wanted for turnover units. The Norwich is a residential brass set ordered by finish and rosette; the three above are single-configuration locks.

The Emtek Norwich is a residential tubular privacy knobset, so an opening calling for ANSI Grade 1 needs a different family. The Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knob lock in the D Series with an Orbit knob, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and carrying a fire rating. For a keyed secure-side function, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function single cylinder knob lock. None of those are privacy function, so a bed or bath opening in a commercial building is a separate line item.

The Emtek Norwich privacy knobset is specified for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore. For a 2 inch door, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and is the same privacy/bed/bath function. On the commercial side, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 passage/closet cylindrical lock and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office lock both list 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, though neither is privacy function.

No. The Emtek Norwich is a privacy/bed/bath function, which locks from the inside. A passage knob latches but does not lock, so it will not serve a bathroom or bedroom. Sets that look similar but are passage only include the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with 5058 rose, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset, the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob, and the Pamex FTF Baron FTF30 passage function. Emtek's Norwich in privacy is the correct function for those openings; if the door is a closet or hall, the passage sets above apply.

CF stands for concealed fastener: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws, so you see a clean brass ring rather than two screw heads on the face. It includes the 28 degree rotation latch. If the screw heads do not bother you, the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on their own are the other two choices. On a visible front hall or a period restoration where the hardware is the detail, CF is worth the specify.

The Norwich knob can be ordered with any brass rosette, and seven shapes are offered: #8, Oval, Quincy, Rectangular, Regular, Watford and Wilshire. So you can run a rectangular rose in one part of the house and a round one elsewhere with the same knob, or standardize the whole floor on one shape.

Ten finishes: 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). Two of those behave differently over time: Unlacquered Brass is left bare and will patina with handling, while the Lifetime polished brass and nickel hold their shine. If you are adding doors to a house already in unlacquered brass, US3NL is what blends in; a new lifetime finish next to aged brass will not match.

Two in the same decorative bracket: the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with the R027 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, which is listed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Deltana takes a thicker door than the Norwich, which tops out at 1-3/4 inch, so on a 2 inch slab it is the one that works.

Dummy trim. It mounts a knob to the face of the door with no latch and no locking, so it cannot replace the Emtek Norwich privacy set on a bedroom or bath door. Dummy items that carry knobs of a similar traditional look include the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy, the Omnia 442/00 #44 single dummy with a 2-5/8 inch rose, the Omnia 458/0 single dummy latchset, the Schlage A170 Grade 2 single dummy trim, and the BEST 6K Series Grade 2 single dummy trim. Dummies are the right pick for an inactive leaf of a pair, with the Norwich privacy set on the active leaf.

The Emtek Norwich privacy set is non-keyed, so a keyed opening takes a different lock. Residential keyed options include the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob, a Grade 3 entrance lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Master Lock BC Series BC01 Grade 3 keyed entry biscuit knob, and the Cal-Royal BER00 Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. In decorative brass, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

Within Emtek, the Norwich privacy set is ordered in the same ten finishes and seven rosette shapes as the rest of the Classic Brass knobsets, so passage and entry Norwich sets in the same finish carry the look through the house. If a preconfigured multi-function approach is preferred instead, Baldwin Estate 5000 offers the 2 inch Baltimore knob in both a passage version with the 5048 rose and a privacy version with the 5148 rose, each with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob ships as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The Emtek Norwich is a residential brass privacy knobset. For an opening where a fire rating governs, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock in the W Series with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty knobset with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both are passage/closet function rather than privacy, so confirm the function the drawing calls for before ordering.

The Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is a Grade 2 non-clutching non-keyed privacy lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the Emtek Norwich covers. In the same brand family, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob is the Grade 2 passage version over that range, and the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is the keyed Grade 2 version, so a facility can carry one series across functions. The Norwich covers only the privacy function, in brass, across its finish and rosette choices.

Yes, split finish is offered as an option when you order. It matters when the two sides of a door face rooms with different hardware, say polished nickel in a bathroom against oil rubbed bronze in the bedroom. Enter the two finishes you want in the split finish field. There is also a door thickness field on the order, so state the actual slab thickness within the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range if it is anything other than standard.

They serve different openings. The Emtek Norwich privacy set is a non-keyed bed and bath lock operated by an inside turn. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function covering doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch. That is a code-entry control on a door people are being kept out of, not a bathroom privacy turn, so it is not a drop-in for the Norwich.
