Emtek Classic Brass Knobsets with Designer Rosettes - Norwich Knob, Passage Set

Yes. The Norwich passage knobset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 1-3/4 inch. The latch backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so it lands on either of the two common bore locations without swapping parts. One exception on prep: if you pair the knob with a STRETTO rosette, that rosette needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a two-hole door prep.

A passage set latches the door shut but never locks. There is no key and no thumbturn on the Norwich, so it is the right function for hallways, closets, pantries, and between-room doors where you only want the door to stay closed. For a bedroom or bathroom you want a privacy function instead, which adds an inside thumbturn. Emtek builds the Norwich knob in privacy as well, and comparable privacy knobs include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas.

Backset is a required choice at order, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. Measure from the edge of the door to the center of the existing bore hole: residential interior doors are usually 2-3/8, and 2-3/4 shows up on heavier or commercial-style openings. The standard latch shipped is the 2-3/8 unless you specify 2-3/4. There is also an optional door thickness field on the order if your door falls outside typical.

It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else to buy for a normal interior opening. The latch faceplate comes round corner or square corner, so match it to the mortise already cut in your door edge rather than re-chiseling.

The Norwich is a residential-duty tubular knobset in brass, built for the look of a home or a finished interior. For a commercial corridor, a school, or a high-traffic multi-family opening you want a graded cylindrical lock instead: the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 passage knob, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 with a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door range, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage knob with a fire rating.

Same standard prep, yes: 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset is what residential knobsets like the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob and the Schlage F Series Plymouth combo are built around, and the Norwich uses that prep with an adjustable backset latch. The strike plate is included, so you can reuse the existing strike mortise or swap in the new plate.

The Emtek Norwich passage set is a brass knob in a traditional American classic style, non-keyed, with a choice of Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, or Rope rosette. Comparable decorative brass passage knobs include the Omnia 434/PA, a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, and the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial passage knob with the 5058 rose. The Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob with the 5048 rose comes preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike, where the Norwich lets you pick 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset at order time.

The Emtek Norwich passage knob is a residential tubular set in brass, so it carries no ANSI grade. For a graded passage knob on the same non-keyed hall/closet function, the Schlage D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knob lock with an Orbit knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Where Grade 2 is enough, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob both fit 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The trade is appearance: the Norwich is a decorative brass knob offered with Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, and Rope rosettes, while the graded sets use plain commercial knob and rose trim.

The Norwich passage set is non-keyed with a passage function, so it latches only and has no privacy button. For bed and bath doors, privacy knobs on the same decorative footing include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with the R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with the 5148 rose, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. On the commercial side, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob is Grade 3 over the same door thickness range.

The Norwich passage set is a non-keyed knob with no cylinder, so a keyed opening needs a different lockset. Keyed knob locks include the Deltana 6901 Portland entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors on the decorative side; the Kwikset 400P Polo entry knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS strike; the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is a Grade 1 entrance/office knob lock with a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors; and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset for openings that must stay locked from outside at all times.

The Norwich passage set covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors on the published specification. For thicker leaves, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage/closet knob lock is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are non-keyed passage function, so the door operation is unchanged; they use commercial knob and rose trim rather than the brass designer rosettes.

The Norwich is a residential brass passage knobset and no fire rating is carried against it, so specify a lock that states one. The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a passage/closet latch function, a 2-3/4 inch backset, and a fire rating; the Falcon X101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both keep the same non-latching-lock passage operation as the Norwich.

CF gets you rosettes with no exposed screws, so the trim reads clean from both faces. Choosing CF also brings the 28 degree rotation latch with it, which is the shorter-throw rotation Emtek uses on that mechanism. If you do not care about visible screw heads, the Standard Latch option is the plain build, and the 28 Degree Rotation Latch can also be ordered on its own.

Three designer rosettes on the Norwich: Lancaster, Ribbon and Reed, and Rope. Seven finishes: French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL). Unlacquered brass will patina with handling, the rest hold their finish. If you are matching one door to a room where the knob and rosette were bought in different finishes, there is a split finish field on the order.

The Norwich is a solid brass decorative set with a choice of Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, or Rope rosette and seven finishes. For plain interior hall and closet doors in a rental turn, straightforward passage knobs include the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike, the Kwikset 200P-CP with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike, the Pamex FTF Baron Grade 3 passage knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Bravura Albany or Lynchburg round trim passage knobsets in Grade 2. All are passage function, so they operate the same way at the door.

No. The Norwich is passage function and non-keyed, so it never locks - it cannot secure a classroom or storeroom. Use the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 classroom cylindrical ball knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 6G04 Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, or the Sargent 8XG04 Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset where the higher grade is specified. Keep the Norwich for the interior corridor and closet doors that only need to latch.

The Norwich passage set is ordered one opening at a time: pick the rosette, the finish, the latch type including the CF mechanism with no exposed rosette screws, and the 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, pairing an exterior and interior function in one carton, and the Kwikset 400P-CP is a Grade 3 keyed entry knob in a clear pack for the same door thickness range. The combo packs cover the entry and interior doors together; the Norwich is configured per door for a matched brass finish set.

Not on like for like terms. The Norwich is a mechanical non-electronic brass passage knob with no code entry. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, so it controls who gets through the door by code rather than simply latching it. Choose the Lockey where access needs to be restricted without keys, and the Norwich where the door only needs to latch and match the rest of the brass hardware.

The Norwich passage knob is offered in French Antique (US7), Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Pewter (US15A), Polished Brass Lifetime (US3), Polished Chrome (US26), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL), and a split finish can be specified where the two sides of the door differ. If a project needs a stated finish on a lower cost passage knob, the Bravura Dallas with rectangle trim passage knobset is a Grade 2 set in US4 satin brass, and the Callan Roland Grade 2 entrance knobset is listed in US15 satin nickel. Confirm the finish code matches before mixing brands on adjacent doors.
