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

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).

The knob feels light and the surface is not smooth but slightly textured. The aged bronze effect is quite fake (actually not unlike the pix). The rose acts as a cover to hide the screws in the bottom layer but I have yet to find out how to get the screws in as the rose cant be removed. I am glad I bought only one, would cry if I bought this for the whole house.

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.

I have replaced many door knobs in my day and these were the absolute easiest knobs to replaced. I had no problem with any of them and they looked so great when they were installed. I did read some of the negative reviews for these knobs but i experienced NONE of the problems others have. Excellent purchase and i would do it again!

They are the same as in store, just packaged more earth friendly. I think they’re great!

Love the door knobs!! Very well made and look AMAZING!! Can’t go wrong here!!

Much cheaper than Home Depot or Lowe’s. I like the modern look. The straight modern levers all hang crooked. The round knobs solve this issue yet still look modern.

Passage hall knobs, Greyson style: First, install was hard because the instructions did not apply to these knobs. They have a cover that blocks the screw holes (to look pretty i guess). I searched a long time online for instructions and only found vague comments here in the reviews and Q&A. YIu have to insert a flathead screwdriver into a slot on the neck of the knob to depress a flap and then pull the knob off the rest of its fixture - then you can remove the faceplate / rosette / cover and access the screw holes. The knob pops back on when done, no problem if only one has instructions for this! But then I realized the rosettes are simply loose, even after I mess with them to try to get their little metal overlap hold spots to overlap more. This is especially true on one side. Install does not tighten it. Slamming the door or having your hand hit it makes it loose and rattle and spin. Annoying. Lastly, this model is simply uncomfortable to use. The neck is too short and the plate too thick, leaving little room for our hands to grip the knob--my knuckles press on the cover plate too hard. And the corners are too rectangular to feel nice. (I have small hands and love our other models of Schlage knobs). While the metal components feel superior to our Kwiksets we were replacing, this was not an upgrade, and I am putting the Kwiksets back on. I might try for the Georgian or Colonial models instead. Sadly, I installed these long after the returns period, and the problems only show up when installing and using them.

Look good! Only dislike is the crimp in the cover where it meets the door, looks like this is intended to secure the cover to the body, purchased 12 and they all have it.

Very happy with my purchase! I saw this same exact door handle in person and felt it was good quality. I looked it up on Amazon and it was at least $10 cheaper than Lowes. Same exact product! Needless to say, I ordered several online and Im happy.
