SCHLAGE Lock Company Acc 609 SCHLAGE Accent F10 Flat Wave Reversible Door Lever Lock, Solid, Antique, Brass - F10 ACC 609

I picked this up as a used item in used - like new condition in original packaging. It was to replace a 22 y/o Schlage lever door knob/lock on my backdoor which is still working but shiney gold. Its time for an update. The door knob that was sent to me was 100% unusable with the key stuck in the lock and the lock tongue damaged by the previous owner obviously having to pry their door open after the key got stuck. I cant believe that Amazon resold this, and resold it as like new condition. I have Schlage door knobs and locks on all my doors, and my 22 year old shiney gold door knobs and locks are still looking good and functioning fine. I planned to donate them once I have replacements. But maybe Ill just try painting them with rustoleum and see how that goes before investing in new ones that may not work as well as what I have (given that someone had a key get stuck and had to pry the door open with this lock).

Classy look, easy to install.

Overall good quality handset that is very easy to install as a replacement for a standard door knob. I purchased 2 sets of these to replace standard door knobs on interior doors. They only took minutes to install. I should note that unlike the door knobs that these handsets replaced, these levers do not operate independently, i.e. turning the lever on one side of the door activates the lever on the other side. The original handleset knobs could turn and actuate the door latch independently. This is probably a meaningless detail but I did take note of it as a design element. There was a slight imperfection on the rim of the bezel of one unit (the small lip that contacts the door had a slight ding in it, i.e. not perfectly round edge, that probably happened during mfg/packing) but was slight enough not to warrant returning for a replacement. The imperfection is not really detectable mounted on the door. Color finish is uniform.

Also very easy to install.

everything is exactly as described

Nice looking ‘dummy’ handles, and the ones here at Amazon are great. We bought some of the same brand and style from one of the home improvement stores, and those were loose and junk. These are supposed to be fixed handles and those wobbled and shook like they were ready to fall apart. They were in ‘plastic’ merchandising packages, while our Amazon order came in no nonsense cardboard boxes. They were even a little less expensive and available with Prime. Again, we like the product, but by the time you buy two (one for each side of the door) you are actually paying more than a fully functioning handle with lock. That is the same pricing anywhere, but it seems odd. Again, they look great, but at that price, the retaining piece to prevent the handle from moving should be metal instead of the plastic that it is. That is why the home improvement store versions are junk I just hope these Amazon ones hang in there.

The color is real aged bronze, very sturdy and beautifully made. I have however one thing to point out and not sure if is something I have to do. In order to close the door or open it the lever has to be pushed all the way down a vertical position. I do not have that on my old handles. That is the only con about the product.

They look nice and feel nice. 1 of 6 arrived with a slightly damaged finish

Switching outdated brass knobs for satin nickel levers (continuity of remodel). Some of the knobs/levers were hard to find and we had to purchase from several locations. Check the ANSI rating (1 - Best, 2 - Better, 3 - Good) and avoid anything rated below 2 if you want a reliable product. These are rated ANSI 2 but seem solid. The levers are easier to open when your arms are full carrying something and much kinder for older folks that prefer not to deal with grab/twist motions. No issues installing dummy, privacy, or passage models. Some savings were found buying in bulk or cardboard packaging vs retail box with clear plastic.
