Golden Locks identifies the Bowery passage family for hallways and closets, and Schlage describes the handle as non-locking. That makes the room's purpose the first buying question. A storage door or circulation door can be a sensible match when anyone should be able to open it. A room that needs occupant privacy calls for a different function, even if the desired appearance is similar.

The two backset choices mean the latch has documented flexibility within that pair of standard preparations; they do not mean that every existing hole arrangement is supported.
