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

Great handle. I had initially purchased a Kwikset Tavaris Single Cylinder Handleset but it seemed too close to the door frame and the large wide handle stuck my fingers in between it and the door frame waiting to get smushed. I would have to open my door with my fingertips instead of grabbing the thing like a normal human person. So I went with this thinner handle. It pairs nicely with my Kwikset 99090-020 SmartCode Electronic Deadbolt. I have no complaints about it and it was easy to install. The adjustable through bolt made it much easier to install than the Kwikset Tavaris.

Been on my door in the Florida sun for 8 months and looks awful. Im not there right now to take photo but very unhappy with finish quality. Will be contacting Schlage when I return in September. Quirks fine but looks bad.

This is a good handle. There isnt too much to say. It functions well, is easy to install, doesnt sag (for the interior piece) and its easy to engage from the outside. The only issue I had was that the installation instructions were a little weak and the template for the drill holes is just paper. Its not a big deal as youre only screwing in one extra screw if youre replacing a handle, but still, its not a cheap handle to have cheap instructions. Hardly enough to knock a star off though.

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!

I was very excited to get this door handle for my new home. It was not really difficult to installed it but, it needed several adjustments. After a few month of use, the part that you push down to open the door, started to get stuck a bit. I still like the look, but even more disappointing when the paint chipped. Not a big spot but is there. The price has also decreased, and I understand, the quality is not the best. If I have to pick another handle, probably I would look more.

This was extremely easy to install to replace an existing handle. The best part is that the lower bolt is adjustable so it should easily fit where an existing handle was without having to match exactly! Took 15 mins to install! Combined it with the digital deadbolt for a great looking front door!

This is a great handle. Truly an incredible handle. Other handles.....total disasters! Believe me..... everyone agrees. Seriously though, I have no complaints about this handle set. Installation was straightforward and it has been operating smoothly since.

If you want quality and awesome look, this is it.

There is no lock. The dead bolt is the lock, so why wasn’t there options for those with this. I purchased touchpad deadbolt at menards

Instillation was quick and easy. Looks great. I made sure all the measurements fit before I bought it and everything went without a hitch. Easy recommendation
