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

Easy to install

I bought a pair, left and right, to match an existing functional pair on French doors. The originals were installed in 2009 so I was concerned that there could have been a subtle change in style or finish. No so. The old and new are a perfect match, although I would add that outside itll take a bit of time for the finish to weather sufficiently to exactly match the original!

Product is robust and has a great rich feel -

I used these to replace existing door handles and it came out great! I had a combination of left and right facing handles and the instructions to change the orientation was so easy! If you are replacing existing handles (door and frame properly cutout), installation should be a breeze. There are instructions and a template if you dont already have the cutouts on the door & frame. I didnt have any issues with the locking mechanism and all handles came in what looked like original packaging.

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.

Schlage lock sets are always of premium quality and they install easily too. This one, installed at my kitchen/garage door, was re-keyed to match my existing front entry lock set (as well as the locks of my second home). I prefer the lever-type handles as they are easier to deal with when ones hands are loaded with groceries, etc.

Bought 4 of these and one privacy for bedrooms doors several years ago and they have held up and are excellent quality.

I 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.

We installed these handles all around the house. We are very happy with them. They are great quality, elegant and looking expensive. I recommend them to customers with Artritis or any ligament issues, because they are very easy to open. In fact you can open it with your elbow.

Great door handle, not like the ones you find at the so-called home stores. This is much better quality.
