> 3 dayMatching 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.

> 3 dayI needed to replace a Schlage exterior lock which was installed when our home was built in 2006. It matched all the other doors in the house so finding the same lock was important. This one exactly duplicated all the original specs including finish. Thanks Schlage for maintaining popular models over the years.

03-06-2025I did quite a bit of research before purchasing these door levers. I chose the Aged Bronze finish, and they are gorgeous with a high quality weight and feel. We replaced all the upstairs door handles, and it looks so nice. We look forward to buying more for the downstairs. One note about the finish: I really like that this aged bronze finish looks almost black while still retaining a hint of the warm brown tone. You barely see the lighter tone on edges, which I prefer.

> 3 dayI was thrilled to get this dummy lever for my foyer closet. I bought the matching right hand one as well. The finish is a gorgeous matte edged with copper. However, the shallow screw provided is not sufficient unless you have a solid core wood door. It is not long enough to grab the wood and the weight of these pulls (they are a substantial and weighty) will make the situation worse. If you have hollow core bi-folds (standard builder stock), the handle over time will loosen and fall off the door. My husband has fixed all our current polished brass handles by buying longer screws and using a washer on the back of the door. They hold great now. I called Schlage and they have no longer screws to use with these levers. So now we will have to buy standard screws and touch up the heads with matte black paint. What a hassle. I took off 2 stars for this problem since the screws are woefully inadequate.

> 3 dayPerfect replacement for a broken Schalge privacy lever (bathroom door) that was installed when my home was built 21 years ago. The old lever couldnt stay locked when I pressed the button. Im glad that Schalge kept the design after two decades; otherwise, I would have had to replace door levers throughout my home to keep with consistency. Im also glad they made the levers reversible (left hand pull or right hand pull). It doesnt appear the old lever had the versatility so Schalge was smart to make this change sometime over the last two decades.

> 3 dayOne side of the handle was simple to remove for switching handle direction. The outside handle will not pop off when using the tool to press the button for release.

> 3 dayI found a handle similar at Lowes but it didnt match the other handles in my house. This one matched exactly. Im going to keep this sight in case I need others.
