The Excel Hardware Passage Bala Door Knob Set Polished Brass has a style widely used in America and some parts of Europe – the American style passage knob set is not so common here in the UK. All doors must be prepared with a 51mm diameter hole to accept the 60 – 70mm backset adjustable latch.
Supplied with Latch
The knob set has a polished brass finish. Each set comes complete with a 70mm backset mortice latch, all necessary fittings and full fitting instructions.
Passage Set
This set has a passage function – suitable for internal doors and as it is a non-locking knob set, it allows free access at all times.
There are also other options available; an entrance locking set (this has a centrally located locking turn and is unlocked from the outside by the turn of a key) and a bathroom privacy set (the external knob on the privacy set has an emergency release, whilst the inner knob has a centrally located privacy turn).
Note of Caution
Once fitted to a door this type of knob set is difficult to replace, the latch is specific to the American style; and the 51mm hole in the door makes it impossible to fit anything other than American specification knob and lever sets.
