SCHLAGE F40 FLA 716 CAM Camelot Collection Flair Privacy Lever, Aged Bronze

Great fit and finish

renovating in an old house is expensive. we made a mistake not purchasing enough handles at one time to cover every room of the house. when we finally got to the last bedroom, we could no longer find a store that carried this style. Amazon to the rescue. . .

We remodeled our home about a decade ago and could not find this handle in box stores anymore. So thankful for Amazon! It matches our other handless and looks terrific!!

Needed to change knobs on door to easier operating lever style for physical reasons. They arrived within three days and I quickly and easily changed out all the knobs to the Schlage lever style. Each swap took approximately 10 minutes. Quality and operation is good. A Great Deal!

Matching product for pre-existing Schlage products, which we had. Only product of the line that is Right or Left, so make sure you order the correct one. Of the Flair line, these are the cheapest looking. Levers have slight amount of play during opening/closing. Not a big deal, just mentioning as I would prefer a completely solid feel. I have also mentioned about this Flair line, the screw holes are not hidden. So, to me, this makes them a middle grade cosmetically. Laminated finish. Looks fine from a distance and even up close. HOWEVER, installation can delaminate the coating around the screw holes. I installed these in place of the brass product present since new in 1993. Previously Schlage, too. Fit was almost perfect. Some screws were angled in the doors. This resulted in the heads of the screws contacting the escutcheon prior to fully seating into the screw hole. When this happened, it slightly dented the metal, delaminating the coating. Cannot see from a distance, but up close (and Im OCD) it is noticeable. Disappointing. Tip: Seat the screws into the screw holes PRIOR to engaging them into the previous holes. Start one, advance a bit, then start the other. If the screws are not parallel (and most are not), youll likely benefit from advancing each a bit at a time until the escutcheon is fully flush against the door.

I initially thought I could cut off a few bucks with Kwikset, but after testing at Home Depot, I learned Id rather pay extra for Schlage. These are superb and add so much to my doors in aesthetics. Then you turn the handle and can feel the sturdiness, which is so important. The tiny tough of aged bronze is just barely noticeable, but so nice! Replaced all my bedroom/bathroom doors with these.

Very pretty

Schlage brand is tops and has always been. Heavy metal with solid connections and attachments. Flipping the handles took less than one minute. And the price is right. I have a few more door handles to buy and they will all be Schlage.

Doesnt quite match my cabinet knobs in the kitchen as its too light. Im going to keep looking for a better match but love the style of this handle.

I like the quality of Schlage handles, compared to other brands. Some are hollow behind the grip, but Schlage are solid. They are also easier to install than cheaper brands. We have French doors and only one side needed an operating catch. The other is for show. That being said, I gave four stars because I wish the screws did not show. I think there should be a cover cap that fits over the screw section so that it matches the partner door. Even with a non-locking closet handle, it would still look more finished if the screws did not show on outside. In retrospect, I think I could have used a regular double handle set and achieved that look, but it would have required a hole through the door. Seeing I was replacing an existing dummy handle, I didnt want the extra work of drilling a hole. Lazy, I guess.
