Description
Reliable Unrestricted Internal Access with the Era 170-51 Knobset
Managing foot traffic throughout busy corridors, communal office zones, and family living spaces often calls for door hardware that simply works without unnecessary obstruction. Standard locking handles can cause frustration when fitted on doors that must stay accessible. Accidental lockouts, trapped latches, and misaligned mortice cut-outs disrupt everyday movement, leading to unnecessary delays and premature wear on surrounding joinery. Property managers and homeowners need a dependable hardware solution that balances ergonomic daily handling with a tough, hardwearing surface finish.
The Era Passage Door Knob Set S.Chrome 170-51 delivers an effective answer to these everyday access demands. Engineered specifically for interior passages, this non-locking tubular knob set permits entirely free passage at all times. By removing key cylinders and turn-buttons from the equation, the unit prevents accidental latching and guarantees seamless transition between connecting rooms. Its smooth spherical profile fits naturally into the palm, offering a comfortable, tactile grip that turns effortlessly every time it is turned.
Finished in modern satin chrome, this set blends easily into contemporary architectural schemes while remaining understated enough for traditional domestic decor. Whether fitted across educational buildings, open-plan commercial offices, utility rooms, or standard lounge entrances, the assembly combines subtle modern styling with robust internal mechanics designed to withstand constant daily cycling.
Core Features and Everyday Benefits
Adjustable Tubular Latch
The supplied tubular latch can be set to either a 60mm or 70mm backset. This dual-position mechanism simplifies installation, ensuring the set matches standard pre-bored door preparations or fresh timber mortices without requiring awkward site alterations.
Durable Satin Chrome Finish
Coated with a resilient satin chrome layer, the Era Passage Door Knob Set S.Chrome 170-51 naturally disguises finger marks, smudges, and light surface wear. The smooth brushed texture cleans easily using a soft damp cloth, retaining its clean look for years.
Complete Fitting Kit
Every box includes matching installation fasteners, a dedicated strike plate, an adjustable latch mechanism, and a precise paper drilling template. Even tradespeople working at pace can complete accurate installations with minimal downtime.
Completely Non-Locking
Designed purely for unrestricted movement, this hardware contains zero locking pins, internal snibs, or keyways. It is the perfect choice for pantries, shared hallways, meeting room foyers, and domestic living spaces where privacy locks are undesirable.
Step-by-Step Installation and Fitting Guide
Stage 1 Door Marking
Fold the included paper template over the door edge at your desired handle height, usually one metre from the floor. Carefully mark the centre point for the main knob bore hole on the door face, alongside the central latch hole on the door edge.
Stage 2 Boring and Routing
Drill the main face bore using a standard hole saw, then drill the edge hole straight through into the main cavity. Chisel a clean recess on the door edge so the latch faceplate sits flush against the timber, maintaining clean alignment when closing.
Stage 3 Latch Adjustment
Check your backset measurement. Adjust the tubular latch body to either 60mm or 70mm to match your drilled face hole. Slide the latch into place with the bevelled side facing the door frame, securing it firmly with the supplied wood screws.
Stage 4 Knob Assembly
Feed the exterior spindle through the latch drive cam, align the interior rose assembly, and tighten the retaining machine screws evenly. Test the knob rotation by hand to confirm the latch retracts smoothly before shutting the door fully.

Versatile Applications for Home and Work
The practical design of this knobset makes it an excellent choice for a variety of interior settings. In domestic homes, it works wonderfully on communal entryways, dining room doors, kitchens, and playrooms where family members move back and forth without needing keys or privacy locks. The rounded profile prevents snagging on clothing, making it safe for lively households.
In commercial buildings, property managers regularly choose the Era Passage Door Knob Set S.Chrome 170-51 for staff breakrooms, storage closets without sensitive contents, and shared office walkways. The solid internal return springs ensure the latch retracts and resets firmly, preventing doors from drifting open in light draughts. Its clean satin chrome tone harmonises effortlessly with aluminium kickplates, door closers, and other architectural ironmongery.
