Easy lever replacement for our previous front door handle kit

My wife recently asked me to replace all round door handles in our new home with levers for easier operation. That's the only thing I was concerned about, due to problems we had with a similar replacement in another house a few years ago. However, I had nothing to fear. This new handle just fell straight into the holes left over from the previous set of doors and only needed to drill a stop for the bottom screw. (In the previous set it was just a screw in the door, but in this set it's a bolt that goes all the way through the door.) Deciding exactly where to drill was easy as a template was included. In less than fifteen minutes everything was ready and working well. As this door set is a slightly different shape than the one he replaced I also had to touch up the paint to match the door but that was also very doable and the result looks just like a new door. The operation is very smooth and easy, and the brushed nickel finish is a perfect match for our electronic deadbolt for this door. Definitely recommended!

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Not the best option
