Schlage FE285 CEN 716 LAT CEN Century Front Entry Handleset with Latitude Lever, Lower Half Grip, Aged Bronze

This product is very nice and straight forward to install. Very happy with it. It gave our front door a new look

Very easy to install, especially because our previous door handle was a Schlage. Love the sleek look and the matte finish.

We are really pleased with this handle. It open and closes the door well. I didn’t like making the extra hole in our new door, but I am happy with the results.

I have this particular handle on 2 different property doors and I really love the clean lines & modern look. I installed the handle at 1 property and it has worked well for 2 years & continues to do so. I bought the latest handle as a replacement to the same door handle at a different property because the mechanism stopped working in the older door handle. Since I dont know how old it is, I cant speak to durability, however the fact that the mechanism failed at all indicates that it may not be the most durable. The price was good though,I love the look & its easy to install.

The box literally just had like 30 tiny pieces from the handle and locking mechanism freely dumping around in the box which damaged the handle. I absolutely got a used item that was just returned and shipped back out. Even the original empty package trash is in the box. What a joke.

My wife recently asked me to replace all the round door knobs in our new home with levers for easier operation. This was the only one I was worried about, because of trouble we had with a similar replacement in another home a couple of years ago. However, I neednt have worried. This new handle just dropped right into the holes left over from the previous door set, needing only one hold to be drilled for the bottom screw. (On the previous set it was just a screw into the door, but on this set, its a bolt that goes all the way through the door.) Deciding exactly where to drill was easy, as a template for doing so was included. In less than fifteen minutes, all was done and working well. Because this door set has a slightly different shape than the one it replaced, I also had to get some touch-up paint to match the door, but that was also very doable, and the result looks just like a new door. Operation is very smooth and easy, and the brushed nickel finish exactly matches our electronic deadbolt lock for that door. Definitely recommended!

Instructions suck but the lock is robust. Noisy when opening and closing.

Ease to install and looks really nice

Goes well with key/wifi enabled bolt unit. Weve installed on a new steel/full glass front door and could not be happier. Lets face it, a handle is a handle, and its form/style over function. The style of this unit goes well with interior door handles (e.g. closet doors). Very happy.
