SCHLAGEF40 ACC 609 Accent Door Lever, Bed & Bath Privacy Lock, Antique Brass

Easy to install, you can do it curve up or down. Reliable, sturdy and feels positive.One minor annoyance, and you will only notice this after using them a bit, is that you really need to rotate the handle almost 90 degrees to open the latch. While this does not sound like an issue, you wonder why it can't be made for 45 degree rotation only.

I purchased these for every door in my house.Pros:Easy to installEasy to open when you hands are fullLook nice at firstCons:Toddlers can easily open a door they could not beforeMy dog has figured out how to open a door if you can believe that.Biggest problem is the DURABILITY OF FINISH. These appear to not be actual oil rubbed bronze. Rather they are a coating over a copper colored base metal. In higher use areas this finish has chipped off exposing the copper colored base metal. I have other true oil rubbed bronze handles on my exterior door which also show a change in patina so I am familiar with what that looks like. This is not like that at all. It is an applied finish that is chipping off.

I replaced all my lever interior door handles on my 10 year old home. These handles are top notch. All came in mint condition and ahead of schedule. It literally took me 10 minutes per door after the first one 😃. They are quality handles that that should last even longer than the ones I took off. If you want a sharp looking lever handle that are easy to install and are top quality then I highly recommend these beautiful handles.

These door knobs have screw guides to make it super easy too install the two screws to secure the two halves. I have installed other door knobs that take forever to line up the screws to secure the two halves of the door knob body.If you look at the photo you can see this door knot has a two prong fork that skids over a protrusion lining up the two halves of the door knob body. With out this your poking your screw into an abyss inside the door knob whole. It can take some trial and error to get the screws to line up.With the forks on the door knob they line up automatically. Installing the screws takes seconds not 5 or 10 minutes of poking around trying to line things.

This being a replacement for a broken one should tell you all you need to know about the quality of it. If it was made well it wouldn’t need to be replaced in the first place. I’ve had three of these go bad meaning they don’t lock anymore. The metal inside is brass and bends easily. If you put enough torque on the handle while locked the thin metal tabs inside will bend and the lock won’t work anymore. One caveat if you are buying one of these to replace a broken one is to buy the cheapest color and switch out the inside parts.

I bought this to pair with my camelot key pad. The keyed version is actually cheaper and I can't understand why, but I needed something keyless because the whole point of the keypad was to prevent being locked out of the house.☆Easy, straight forward set up.☆The handles CAN BE SWITCHED.   It arrived in the left side position (I needed it installed on the right).  I used the included metal "key" (wire, really) and inserted it into the holes on each handle to pop them off. Then I just shimmied them onto the opposite sides.☆Much heftier than what I was expecting. I bought keyed EZ set levers for the interior, Brinks lever for the back door,  and replaced an old, round brass deadbolt set on the exterior with this, and the Schlage feels so much more robust than any of those.☆2 screws are visible on the interior plate.   My Brinks set managed to hide these, and I feel that would have been a good choice for the Schlage, too.

I like the weight and feel of these lever handles.Why not round handles? My old hands get slippery and it's hard to grip them.The levers are easy to open and operate. Push up or down then pull in or push out.It has a convenient push button lock for my master bathroom.I replaced all the old faded rusted pieces for this new set.This is what happens with kids around, they wear things out faster.It was easy to install, and I didn't look at the directions.Hope this will last until I retire lol.

NEW Service update since this review:"Nice looking, heavy knob that's easy to open even with an armful. I've owned it 22 months and the latch just fell apart. I couldn't get in or out without using a pry bar. I'll try contacting Schlage to see about a replacement and will change the rating if they come through."I contacted the Canadian branch of Schlage about the problem. Very personable service, they were friendly and spoke REAL English. Not only did I have the new latch in my hand in two days, they actually called three days later to make sure everything was good. Not just GOOD, Amazing! Changed rating from 2 to 5 stars!

This door knob was easy to install. It is solid and looks good.I did install it on my detached garage and it works fine. I lock the garage door with a dead bolt so I just needed a passage (i.e., not locking) door knob.I would have given this door knob five stars if the plunger stuck out a little bit further. It does catch on our door but not by much.

Product arrived in a timely manner with all parts. Change over of handle was a simple operation and installation went without a hitch. I was overly impressed with the quality of the product as these are a much better heavy duty quality than I expected frankly. Great purchase and the look is superb. I'll likely buy a few more.

I bought this for the inactive side of my double front door to match the active side. It matches perfectly, but have been a little frustrated that they don't make a kit that is complete, and that the price for a dummy side is more than double of the active side. It also does not include any machine screws to attach to the outer section, and the outside dummy kit I had to buy didn't eaither, so I am temporarily using the old ones until I figure out how to get the right ones. The kit does include a couple coarse thread wood screws but obviously they won't work!This handle looks great but I wished that I had bought the other brand from the beginning because of the complications of getting all the matching pieces.

Easy to install and good quality. I had the exact same product Schlage product installed 12 years ago, and it still looks and operates like new. This is why I went with Schlage for a replacement on another door.Last but but not least, the product was manufactured in Mexico, not in Asia.
