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

I had these in my previous house and loved them! They add timeless charm and I never had a problem with any of them. I am putting them in the house we are building now. They are a bit more expensive than a regular doorknob but worth the price!

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.

At my homes entry, I have a regular wood door and a steel security door. I use this on both, even though common usage for these non-lockable door handles is interior doors. I chose non-locking levers for a few reasons: 1. I pair them with a deadbolt, so I dont need a locking handle/knob. 2. I use a lever instead of a knob because its easier to open. My hands are sometimes stiff/sore from RSI, making it difficult to grip and twist a knob. 3. Its impossible for me to lock myself out. These Schlage levers are a good weight and feel solid and durable.

I have the Brookshire Privacy Flair lever. I bought 10 of them for my interior doors. They look great! My problem with them is that half of my latches make noise. This only matters if you are noise sensitive at night and preventing any noise. I slowly open the lever to prevent noise, but the latch hangs/catches then releases making a little snap sound of the latch. It happens to half of my order. Very annoying if you want a quiet door to open!

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.

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.

Excellent delivery time, well packed, arrived in great conditions. The product is as shown in the pictures, I would have loved for it to be sturdier. This feature has nothing to do with the reseller but with the manufacturer.

One 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.

In doing a huge renovation project for a client, one of the things that they wanted was to have layers of paint and varnish stripped away from their turn-of-the-century 4-panel door. After the restoration, they needed an appropriate locket to replace their 1950s chrome knob. I chose this locket for its rustic and elegant look. It installed easily and really looks great.... like it has been there always.
