Kwikset 97200-780 Lido Hall/Closet Door Lever, Polished Brass

Excellent quality!! It’s worth the price.

all is good

I recently switched my front door deadbolt from a standard, manual one which was antique bronze to an electronic one in satin nickel; so I wanted to replace the lever lock (which was also antique bronze) with a satin nickel one to match. I wasnt happy with the selection at Home Depot, so when checking Amazon, not only was this handle the look I was looking for, but the price was slightly better than similar handles at Home Depot as well. I am not mechanically inclined at all, but installing this was simple following the well written instructions. I couldnt be happier, and give it my enthusiastic, unqualified recommendation

made wife happy . that is what matters

Easy to install and key match to our other Quickset door locks.

I used this on a glass french door. The look is outstanding..

These door lever handles look good, are sturdy, and work great. I replaced the knobs with them to accommodate my worsening arthritis, which sometimes makes a regular doorknob painful to use. The levers can be opened more easily.

I have never replaced a door knob before and I was able to replace all of them in my home in a short amount of time.

As I age, the of levers rather than knobs not only looks better, but is more functional. Kwikset also stands behind their product so if there is any tarnish of the finish, they replace them forever. I have also been able to use lever on one side and round knob on the other in applications such as a screen security door where a lever might not be compatible with entry locks.

I got a set of this Lido style door handles to replace some Schlage ones. I loved it so much I ended up replacing every doorknob in my house with this style. The rubbed bronze looks very high quality, though it wouldnt have been my first choice except for the fact that all my faucets and other things around the house are bronze, so I needed to match them. Nevertheless, they look great. Pros: [+] Quality. These are quite heavy and practically 100% metal, which makes them look and feel very sturdy. [+] Noise. They arent completely silent but they were much quieter than my old Schlage handles. This was actually the main reason I decided to upgrade, is I hate when its impossible to open a door at night without waking up everyone in a 3 mile radius. [+] Rekeying. I was able to buy a deadbolt & handle set as well as the fancy front-door style handle and deadbolt set. They came keyed differently, but I was able to follow the instructions without much trouble and rekey them so I can use one set of keys on all of them. [+] Style. I really love the general aesthetics of these. All of the similar handles I looked at looked really boring in comparison. [+] Reversible. Super easy to switch any knob back and forth between right-handed and left-handed. [+] Indoor locks. The interior locked handles I got are great. I hate the cheap kind that you can open from the outside by just putting your fingernail in the big slot and turning your finger half way. These ones require the smaller included tool that has to go all the way inside the knob to grab the unlocking mechanism. Cons: [-] My keyed handle that I put in my garage, I could not figure out a way to reverse the keyhole. Its a left-handed knob, and I was able to switch the knob to be left handed fairly easily, but that left the keyhole upside-down. Maybe there is a way to do it, but if so, I couldnt figure it out. Not a huge deal since it still works just fine, but it does bug me a little to look at an upside-down keyhole. [-] The indoor strike plates were great, but my garage and front door set werent the standard size you usually see, so in order to use them it would have required me to re-drill all the holes and recessed part of the door frame to fit properly. Too much trouble, I just left the old strike plates on instead, which worked perfectly fine with these handles. Just a little bit worn down from all the years they were paired with my old knobs. Not a big deal though. Conclusion: Replacing every handle in my house was a little pricey, but I am thrilled with the results. I just staggered my orders so I could replace the handles in separate phases, one floor at a time. So it didnt seem quite as expensive as doing them all together. But I think the price was worth it because these are extremely nice.
