SCHLAGE F40 BWE 618 Bowery Knob Bed and Bath, Polished Nickel

Easy to assemble, seems well made, looks great! Was looking for a little bit of a different look and this hit the spot

I had new doors put into my house, and chose these to match with my exterior door handle and to match my doors. I couldnt be more pleased. These have a solid feel to them, and make the doors look great. These are easy to install. (Note on the faux handle that is only one sided for non latched doors - This took a little effort in determining how to remove the knob from the base so you can screw the base into the door. It wasnt hard, just not in the instructions).

These are great. The keyed version is meh. It uses a quarter turn style lock, which “automatically” unlocks when you open the locked door from the inside. Except that it has to be turned completely for the mechanism to work, which is considerably more turning than is needed to actuate the latch. Oh, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s backwards. The locked position is horizontal, whereas I’ve only ever encountered vertical locked positions before. These unnecessary complications lead to accidentally leaving doors unlocked, and to locking yourself out. Again, this is only the case with the matching keyed version of these. Keep it in mind if you intend to get matching exterior knobs.

These are super easy to install and the matte black finish is great. These have a true black finish and not the dark bronze. Overall they are a great option for folks looking for black hardware that is not easy to find in stores.

Installed on an exterior security door but it was too big and the plastic inserts no longer sat flush to the door. Clearly a security risk because someone could push on it and stick a hand through to unlock the door. So I tried to order another one that was smaller in diameter. In the process of removing this one and placing it on a closet door instead, I realized the knob will no longer click into place. Will be replacing it.

Bought this to match the thumb turn lock and light switches in a similar antique bronze colour. The knob feels a lot cheaper and flimsier than the lock and switch I have. I am not sure if the colour is some sort of coating or what but the finish is slightly textured and not smooth, which cannot be seen from the pictures. I hope the satin nickel finish I bought will turn out better.

Ordered these Schlage locks on Amazon as they were the least expensive I could find anywhere and I was able to get in matter of days unlike several competitors. I love the clean and simple style of these knobs, including the concealed screws. Similar locks by others have exposed screw heads which they don’t always convey in item images. The only ‘con’ is the sound of the click when the lock pops, which is rather loud but easily overlooked once you get used to it.

We ordered this line of hardware for our interior and exterior doors and have been so happy with them. We had a door knob and a deadbolt for both front and back exterior doors and although we tried to get all of them keyed similarly through Amazon, they arrived with a separate key for each. Amazons customer service was spectacular and they were very helpful in us getting one key for all of our locks. The knobs handle well and we are very happy.

We chose this style & brand for our interior remodel. Knobs are VERY solid, comfortable, very easy to use. We are a bit older & had the lever style door handles for decades. When we tested various knob styles, we were very surprised @ the comfort & ease to turn. Sidenote, though wed purchased the majority of hardware @ big chain hardware store, we ordered the addtl. knobs via Amazon. Hindsight, go to the store, look, touch & decide what you want. Then, order from Amazon; better prices & everything is delivered to you.

You get what you pay for. These door knobs may be a little more than “similar” door knobs, but these are flawless. Very sturdy and durable. Great matte finish. Simple to install. Makes a HUGE difference when it comes to home improvement. My 90s built home needed a major updating and these were a key piece!
