Emtek 8207.NW.US15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Emtek Norwich privacy knob fit a 1-3/4 inch door with standard 2-1/8 inch bore prep?
Yes. The Norwich privacy knobset drops into a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and covers doors from 1-3/8 up to 2-1/4 inches thick. One exception on the prep: if you pick the STRETTO rosette, the door needs a 1-1/4 inch diameter bore and a 2-hole prep for the thumbturn instead of the standard single-bore layout.
2) Does the Emtek Norwich knob come with a 2-3/4 inch backset latch or do I have to order it?
Backset is a required selection when you order, either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The standard latch ships 2-3/8, which is the usual residential backset, so if your existing bore is drilled 2-3/4 inches back from the edge you have to specify that at the time of order. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you buy.
3) What does the Emtek Norwich privacy set include, and do I need to buy a latch separately?
It ships as a complete set: both knobs, the rosettes you select, the latch, and the strike plate. Nothing else is needed for a standard bored door. Privacy function means it locks with a thumbturn on the inside and has an outside emergency release, with no key and no cylinder.
4) Is the Emtek Norwich knob suitable for a commercial building or an office corridor?
No. Emtek classifies the Norwich brass knobset as residential, and it carries no ANSI/BHMA grade. For a commercial opening or anywhere with real traffic, go to a graded cylindrical lock: the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 non-keyed and takes doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is Grade 2 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the Emtek on interior residential doors, guest suites, and high-end multi-family unit interiors where the look matters.
5) Will the Emtek Norwich latch drop into my existing strike, and what corner does the faceplate have?
The latch faceplate is available round corner or square corner, so it matches whichever way the existing mortise in the door edge was routed. The set includes its own strike plate, so if you are replacing an old knob you can either reuse the frame strike or swap it for the one supplied. Confirm your bore is 2-1/8 inches and your backset is 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 and the swap is direct.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Emtek Norwich privacy knob from another decorative brass brand?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose is the nearest peer in the decorative category - same privacy/bed/bath function, knob-and-rose format. The Emtek Norwich is a solid brass privacy set that can be ordered with the Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, or Rope rosette, so the rosette pattern is a choice rather than a fixed rose; the Baldwin 5077 is configured with the R027 rose. Baldwin also offers the Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose as a preconfigured privacy lock with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, while the Norwich is ordered with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) I need a privacy knob with an ANSI grade for a bedroom or bath door in a rental unit - what should I use instead of the Emtek Norwich?
For a graded privacy knob, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob is Grade 2, non-clutching and non-keyed, fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. The Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob with brass trim and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob lockset are both Grade 3 for the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range. All three are privacy/bed/bath function like the Emtek Norwich, which is a residential brass set with a decorative rosette rather than a commercial cylindrical knob.
8) The door is 2 inches thick - the Emtek Norwich privacy set will not fit. What privacy knob will?
The Emtek Norwich privacy set covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. For a 2 inch door, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors and is the same privacy/bed/bath function in a traditional knob format. If the opening is a passage rather than a bed or bath door, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Global knob is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage lock covering 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 passage knobset covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
9) Same Norwich look but the door needs to lock with a key instead of a thumbturn - what do I order?
The Emtek Norwich set is non-keyed privacy/bed/bath function, so it will not take a cylinder. For a keyed opening in a comparable traditional brass knob, the Deltana 6901 Portland knob entry covers doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Deltana 3381 Egg knob entry and 6171 Round knob entry both cover 1-3/8 to 2 inches. For a graded keyed knob, the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway, and the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob is Grade 2 and keyed.
10) Can the Emtek Norwich privacy knob go on a fire rated door assembly, or do I need a different lock?
For a fire rated opening, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical knobset both carry a fire rating; the W101 is passage/closet latch function with a 2-3/4 inch backset and the X101 is passage function with an interchangeable core for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. The Emtek Norwich is a residential brass privacy set, so on a rated assembly specify a listed lock in the required function.
11) What is the CF mechanism option on Emtek knobsets and should I choose it?
CF is the concealed-fastener build: the rosettes mount with no exposed screws on the face of the door, so you see clean brass instead of two screw heads. It comes with the 28 degree rotation latch. The other two choices are the standard latch or the 28 degree latch on its own with conventional exposed-screw rosettes. If the doors are on show, in an entry or a main hall, CF is the one people pick.
12) Which rosettes and finishes can I get the Emtek Norwich privacy knob in?
Three designer rosettes: Lancaster, Ribbon & 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 over time rather than hold its shine, so use it where a living finish is wanted; polished brass lifetime keeps its appearance. There is also a split finish field on the order if you want the interior and exterior sides different.
13) Can I match the Norwich privacy knob to the passage and dummy knobs on the rest of my doors?
The Norwich knob is offered with any brass rosette in the Emtek classic brass program, so the bedroom and bath privacy sets carry the same knob and rose as the passage and dummy sets on the other openings. Keep the rosette style and finish code the same across the order and the whole floor reads as one set. Specify the split finish or comments field if a particular door needs something different.
14) What is a cheaper privacy knob alternative to the Emtek Norwich for bedroom and bathroom doors?
If the decorative brass rosette is not the point, two graded privacy knobs cover the same bed and bath function on the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors: the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob with brass trim, Grade 3, and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob, Grade 3. Both are plain cylindrical sets rather than solid brass designer trim. For a decorative alternative closer in character, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and Baldwin's 5077 Bethpage privacy knob is another traditional privacy set.
15) Does the Emtek Norwich knobset need a key or a cylinder?
No key, no cylinder, no keyway to match. It is a non-keyed privacy set built on a tubular chassis, so there is nothing to key alike with the rest of the building. If you need a keyed opening on the same door style, order the entry or keyed function instead of privacy, not this set.
16) Is there a simpler privacy knob than the Emtek Norwich for a unit turn where the decorative rosette is not the priority?
The Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function is a Grade 3 set for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob with brass trim is Grade 3 over the same door range - both are plain round-rose privacy knobs. The Emtek Norwich is a solid brass set in a traditional American Classic style, ordered with a Lancaster, Ribbon & Reed, or Rope rosette and a choice of seven finishes including Oil Rubbed Bronze (US10B), Satin Nickel (US15), and Unlacquered Brass (US3NL).
17) The Emtek Norwich privacy knob is going on a high traffic corridor door - is that the right choice?
The Norwich is a residential brass privacy/bed/bath set. For heavier cycle traffic, the Schlage D10S passage knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty in the D Series, the BEST 8K Series entrance knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom/closet knob lock is Grade 1 heavy duty with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Those are passage, entrance, and storeroom functions respectively, so match the function to how the corridor door needs to behave rather than substituting straight across from privacy.
18) Is a keyless combination knob like the Lockey 3830 an alternative to the Emtek Norwich privacy set?
No - the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function for doors 1 3/16 to 2 inches, so it controls access with a code rather than providing the inside thumbturn a bed or bath door needs. The Emtek Norwich is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath set that locks from inside the room. For a coded opening keep the Lockey; for a bedroom or bathroom stay with a privacy function set.
19) Do I need to say what my door thickness is when ordering the Emtek Norwich knob?
There is an optional door thickness field on the order and it is worth filling in. The set covers 1-3/8 through 2-1/4 inches, but anything above the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial or solid-core thickness benefits from Emtek knowing the number so the spindle and screw pack come right. On a standard 1-3/8 or 1-3/4 inch door you can leave it blank.
20) What is the Emtek Norwich knob actually made of?
Solid brass, both the knob and the rosette, in a traditional American classic profile. That is why it takes finishes like unlacquered brass and French antique that plated steel sets cannot carry. Among comparable solid brass traditional knobs, Omnia's 434 egg knob line is another solid brass option, though it is offered in dummy and passage rather than privacy.
