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

Note that this is just one side. I didn’t realize that and I had to order another two for both doors. I figured it would come with two knobs like a normal doorknob would have. But alas this wasn’t true for the dummy ones.

The knobs themselves are great and exactly what we were looking for. The strikes, however, have already been losing the black finish from closing the doors. We dont mind much, but I can see how others my be put off by having the finish wear down.

This is a nice looking bathroom door lock and I ordered 5 bathroom and 4 closet sets,, Its slightly larger than your average knob. Great quality, easy installation, maybe 15 minutes per lock set including removing the old one. I read previous reviews concerning how difficult this was to install, one stated an L shaped screwdriver had to be used. On the inside knob shaft there is a small spring loaded pin that you push with a small screwdriver. Push that pin in and remove the entire knob and the escutcheon plate, the 2 screws are now accessible. Its all in the instructions. The only issue I had was with a couple escutcheon plates not snapping on as tight as they should have. One is still loose. Oh, the privacy and closet sets now have 2 striker plates so they all match,

I purchased 9 of these knobs for my home and I love them, they are exactly as described, easy to install and very sturdy. Yes, I would recommend and yes, Id buy more/again.

I purchased the oil rubbed bronze, which is a pleasant warm dark colour (nearly black) with gold accents. Our basement has the original 1950s Schlage knobs which I’m replacing these with, and removing the old knobs took much longer than installing these - which took maybe five minutes! I’ve installed knobs from Rejuvenation which are much more complex, and by comparison these are super quick and easy. Not super heavy weight but they don’t feel thin or cheap. Definitely happy with the quality for the price, and hope the finish holds up over time.

Easy to install, secure fit. Ever since were moved into our new home, weve had issues with the handles getting loose and falling off. I bought these replacements for each time a door knob loosened and they take maybe 10 minutes (max) to install and are such a secure fit.

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!

Great look and I really love the feel of the knob. I ordered 4 that had been returned to the warehouse but were like new, in the original package. Unfortunately, one was not a Schlage, but it was easy to return. Im guessing it was a knock-off brand but you can see in the picture there is a huge quality difference (Schlage on left). Installation was very easy. Now that Ive seen them installed will be buying 12 more for the entire house.

They look nice installed, but you’ll have an annurysm trying to get it installed! We’ve gotten 1.5 of 5 installed - may hire a handyman to do the rest.

Love everything about them.
