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

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.

Bought to replace older lock set worked as expected. Couldn’t find these in a big box store

Bought this for one side of a door in a newly remodeled bath. The bedroom side was/is brass. This attached and matched up perfectly with the other half of the original lock. Total install in 15m.

Easy to install

Good product easy to install

These take less than 10 minutes to install and their color pattern has just enough bronze showing through. I replaced all the knobs in my house.

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.

We put these in four different doors to change over from the round handle to the lever. Nice change, easy to open with wet hands or with hand lotion on. Also good for our grandkids to use. Would recommend these type of handles for all interior doors.
